ill give this lvl a go for you... try my level EPIC SWING CHALLENGE

[zomginterweb]

I really liked this level. I'm a big fan of point and click adventure games and I haven't played one yet done with LBP until now. I thought this level did point and click very well. It didn't feel tedious to me at all and though some parts made you think about what you had to use next and where, I did not get stuck at all.

I liked the atmosphere and lighting. It had good use of camera cut scenes with dialog. The story was creepy and well written too.

I think the only thing I didn't really like was the end with the score board completely obstructed.

I gave it a 4 out of 5 and hearted. I recommend this level to people who like a good horror story and don't mind reading dialog or fans of the point and click genre.

i'll comment on your lvl so u can find me. Also play ver. 1.2 of my lvl. I made some improvements

Happened to bump upon this near midnight and glad I did.
I'm a huge fan of point-and-click games and your level did not disappoint :]
I almost was not able to read the book or letter until I decided to eye the library for kicks.

Overall, it was a great experience and the end DID scare me. Lol, just being honest ^o^

5/5 + Heart
Great job :]

Thanks zomginterweb and Raikuden for your feedback. The scoreboard is no longer obstructed by the ghost. She disappears after a second. Another player has commented about the letter and the diary. He pointed out the fact that he could talk to Father O'Shea and Mickey about the letter without even finding or reading it which was foolishly overlooked by myself whilst creating. I've fixed this problem now in a way that shouldn't spoil the experience and players won't be able to proceed to the church without reading the letter. Thanks for pointing out these problems

Woah, I have to say I was impressed with this. Point and click is a very difficult genre to bring to a game like LBP - but I think you've done it expertly. I like the fact that a lot of the stuff is interactive and the story is superb

Not much to complain about - got the full 5 stars and a heart from me

[AdamKinnell]

That was a fantastic level, The story was excellent and so was the gameplay, I liked the concept of a point and click adventure, it worked really well.

There were on only two problems I found

1. One of the gravestones in the graveyard can be knocked over

[Spoiler]2. You should emit a fuse into the fuse box near the fountain when you trigger it[/Spoiler]

5 Stars and a Heart, Great Work

Really nice, original level! I really liked the parts where you read something on the table, I liked how you made like an overhead camera. The only thing I found wrong with the level is:

I gave it 4 stars, great job!

[shindol]

Thanks for the feedback. I've put a hint in the level that prompts the player to check the mailbox before you find it so this should help. I've added another hint halfway through to help more people know what to do at the end.

Wow, that's the most ingenious use of stickers I've ever seen. The story is captivating, the environments are beautiful and I can tell that a lot of care went into making sure that the level always kept its dark, mysterious atmosphere from start to finish.

I thoroughly enjoyed this level, and give it a well deserved and a heart.

Hi shindol.

I tried it a second time but I guess I'm too stupid for such a complex level.
This time the lady said and did new things and I couldn't get into the cemetery without reading the letter. O_o

[I don't know how to get into the bathroom to grab the fuse; that's the only missing part. I even already have the baby corpse. (The last time I got stuck I was so desperate that I looked into the basement without the key - that's the only bug in this level... you can see the basement without the key).]

Anyway... YOU DID SUCH A GREAT JOB!
I love the visuals, the creepy atmosphere and the story. It's the first "Point and Click"-level I saw on LBP and i love it.

I got really scared, really. Haha.

***** and a heart.

Greetings, Anna

LOL, don't worry about not finishing it SantaAnna - this level is very difficult. It requires loads of attention to detail and thinking and tracking back. But when you do finish it you feel great

[shindol]

Thanks for the feedback Anna. Somebody mentioned the fact that he could talk to people in the level about the letter without finding it so I had to do something about it. Thanks for letting me know about the fact that you could look in the basement and the bathroom without entering them. I've sorted out a solution for that now. As regards to where you're stuck on the level, I don't think you've spoken to Mickey behind the bar.

[SantaAnna]

I spoke to the priest, I spoke to Mickey, I spoke to everyone... (This time even the grave of the lady talked to me, though I already knew what to do.)

The reverend, Jesus and Mickey never mentioned the letter. They said just random things.

I found out all this things by myself. Strangely some things happened during my second try that didn't happened the first time. (The lady went into the water, the grave talked to me)

The order of my first try: library, garden, cemetery, church, bar, looking at the pictures, sold-sign, mailbox, letter in the library, opening the tool shed, cracking the fountain box, cracking the bathroom box, finding the fuse, digging the grave of the lady, digging the vault, finding the corpse, STUCK!!!

How can I get that bathroom-key? :/
