The Good, The Bad, The Sackboy... Episode 3. by wexfordian
This is where you wake up to realise everything you thought was real was just an illusion. To make matters worse you only have minutes to save yourself and the crew from disaster. The level has multiple endings, first person cutscenes and first person gameplay. Have fun

Is there any chance this series was inspired by Red Dwarf...I'm sure there is a very similar storyline in there!

Great work, change of theme and some of the little details were awesome. The dangers were innovative and fitted the theme very well too.

I had a bit of trouble with plane shifting on a few occasions. Mainly the part where there's a circle that spins and you have to grab the yellow and black part of it and throw yourself upto the top. The level of complexity in the layers there lead to it being a bit awkward if you don't get it exactly right, but there's not much you can do about that with the level of detail that has been put into it.

Great work. Great series. All 5 stars and hearted.

WOW!

For me, this is the icing on a delicious cake! Great story twists in this, and some stunning space-age scenery and mechanics! Loved the First-Person perspective in the space ship (which, i noticed, was sackboy shaped!). Loved loved it loved it.

Playing it again right now.

If you don't get knighted for this, the world has gone even madder than it actual is!

Thank you VERY much for all your hard work. Wonderful.

PS - Woah, though, wex. Are you pasting your pictures in here side by side - my screen display has gone to about 8,000 pixels wide! lol )

Wow.... this is the best looking space level I've ever seen. The 3D segments, the use of light, material, and shading... this level is absolutely GORGEOUS.... plus it has great gameplay to boot.

Seriously, this entire series is a masterpiece - and will totally keep everyones interest all the way through.

Great series!

Nothing much to add. An excellent trilogy with great design as always and great fun to play.

I just noticed jackofcourse mentioned Red Dwarf. I put the same comment in the level comments. Very reminiscent of that. Whether intentional or not that's a good thing.

You've raised the bar again. I really must get cracking with Sheriff Sack 2. I'm never going to emulate your part 1 though. That one raised the bar all the way to the roof. I can't possibly get over that.

Are there multiple endings? It said at the end that I landed on a remote planet. Not sure if I got screwed there or not.

Up to that point it was very well done though. Brillant sci-fi imagery and the 3D part at the start was superb.

Yup - you get to choose your path at the end.

I see. The thing about that was that it ended what was a great level on a sour note. To be honest I was a little miffed that I had been given a duff ending simply for going right rather than left. Even then I only went right as I was pushing left and right out of curiosity to see the controls move. Next thing I know I`m told I`d crashed without realising what was going on.

Well, then.... pay attention to what you're doing! .

The entire level constantly told you that you need to go destroy the meteor, and instead you ran to safety toward a planet, thus leaving the meteor to wreak havoc. You should be more than miffed.... you should be ASHAMED! .

Now go back, play it again, and this time show a bit of courage!

[Matt 82•]

Haha yes very good. I pushed left and fired twice, then pushed right and fired twice to see what difference it made and all of a sudden I appeared next to a scoreboard being told I`d done something wrong. I just felt it was a little unfair, with my only option being to start again.

My concern really is that kids and idiots will forget about what went before and rate it down when they get the bad ending.

This sounds epic, part 3, need to check out the whole series will edit/post when i do

[OmegaSlayer]

Oh man!
Maybe this is the best series of level ever.
Wex, if you have done something incredible, from the characters on first part, the awesome train, the cool barrell mechanics.
Then the second level is absolutely oniric, I like that kind of stuf and all the little visual tricks you made.
Then third level blew everything off.
I thought that you had some pain in your back after all the candyK praise, and you showed you have the power to kick real @sses.
15 stars for you man.
VERY
WELL
DESERVED

Ok, I just played through all 3 with MrsSB and Zwollie, and all I have to say is "Wow..."

Seriously, these are THE BEST LEVELS I HAVE EVER PLAYED!!!

I'm emailing Mm about this, RIGHT NOW!

[NinjaMicWZ]

The intro is magnificent, really and truly it's ridiculously cool and it's something I actually want to see people steal and take to the next level - a genius idea. Overall a great level, tons of cool mechanics, nice sci fi theme... totally left field way to handle a series conclusion and reminded me of Assassin's Creed.

All the stuff that you added in past the bucking gear mechanism when I had first seen it in production is top notch...

Ok, I emailed Spaff. If I don't get a reply on Monday, I'll email Tom, and then I'll work round the entire team until you get a crown!
