Rat Alleys: Part of a New Story Mode

[grayspence]

Wow... That was amazing! Better than sub metropolis! I loved the way the city looked

[Noroibito]

Woot! It finally got released!
I have to say I absolutely love your levels. And this one is no exception. Sub Metropolis was sweet and this is even better!
The rats that you placed everywhere were excellent in design. I really like the ones which brains opened up as you jump through them. Once again you also expertly crafted an original level with MM quality and style. I would have been totally fooled if I wasn't online. The mechanics of the level were great fun! I wish i knew how to do them. The pacing was also great. Fun every step of the way! I can't wait to see more!

/Brilliant/Hearted!

F4F: Do you think you could play my new Halloween level =)? It's SIREN: The Lost World [Episode 3- Holes]. Thanks and enjoi!

[olit123]

Woohoo it's out! I can't wait to play it all the way through. I love your levels, keep 'em coming.

[julesyjules]

Great stuff again! : )

I love your characters and the whole vibe of the level, and its nice to see all those visible workings for a change. The rats with the pop out brains were particularly memorable and funky! A really fun level.

And i now know how the hamster-wheels work, i never could work those out.

wow thankyou!!! yeah i like the bit with thr rat brains too XD the hamster wheel is just one interpretation, after all i had no idea of how to do it either! So i just had to fiddle round a bit, im sure there are loads of ways to do the same thing! thanks again for the compliments : )

[piggabling]

Great level again Hallm! It was so wonderful and full of fun! Every part of the level was packed with goodness and LBP cuteness. I'll give it one star though. Just because....... I'm kidding! Five stars for you! , plus a heart! Good job and keep it up!

sorry to bring this thread round again but i was drawing some artwork for the new story mode and realised none of my creator curators are female! lol two are animals, one is inanimate, one is human-esque and the other two were gonna be humans. I was just wondering if I change one of the humans to a woman would that be okay?? I know there was 3 female creator curators, well 4 if you count The Queen, in the original story mode. If anyone can think of an 8th environment i can slot in along the journey (as there was 8 in the original) i'd be grateful! that way i can make the creator curator a woman too : ) i don't know if this is a big deal for anyone but i thought it would be fairer and give a bit of variation between characters. So any suggestions would help!

[iiiijujube]

Well, what are the environments that you have so far? If there's not already one, I would love to see a circus-themed environment. You could have a female clown or ringmaster.

[AresSmith]

Whoa! just got playing this level, and let me tell you, peronally, I think it's the best so far! My favorite thing would have to be the wheels. Are you by any chance giving those out? I couldn't find any prizes so I wouldn't know...
Can't wait for the last of the Pipes!

lol yes its in a secret area with a sticker switch, you need the MGS pack to get the prizes if you don't have it there's also a sneaky way of getting them aswell if anyone can figure it out i'll be amazed!! XD anywho thanks for the feedback the wheels were fun to make. Including this secret area i mentioned there are 4 places to get prize bubbles, 2 being 2x sections! Just to note, the prize bubble for the wheel isn't just the wheel its called 'Hamster Wheel Example' that involves a quick set up of how it works that way you can look at the mechanics and make your own : )

[AresSmith]

Wow, how nice! I'll be sure to go secret hunting once I get on
Edit: Ack! I think I've found everything BUT that secret. I have the stick, but can't find anywhere to put it

[Hallm3]

lol when you get to the part with the open-mouthed rats and their brains before you jump on the first one take a look in the background for a possible pathway : ) *hintedyhinthint*

[AresSmith]

Wow, thanks! I saw it, but took me a while to find out how to get there

[piggabling]

I loved this level (although I may have already told you this on this thread) and it was unique. Wonderful characters and great platforming! I got the highest score by 6 points! WooHooo1 Good job and Keep it up!

[Keldur]

Hey, Hallm3! You left a very kind comment on my level, so I thought I'd come here and explain why these last weeks I've been showing your newest level to everyone who ended up in my pod.

First of all, you really build the kind of level that I love the most; MM alike. And I won't say that your style does look like the one MM has, it looks completely and exactly equal to me. Seriously, I could swear that THIS is really the 2nd story mode. And I'm not exagerating in the slightest in order to flatter you.

The wheels. Man, I love those wheels. It's a shame that marriage between humans and wheels isn't legal yet, because I'd sure marry those.
Ok, see? Now that's exagerating. But I seriously love what you did there. You incorporated a element that isn't present on the story mode, but you did it in such a way that... well, it fits completely. I specially loved that part in wich you have to get out of the wheel to push down that button in order to make those building fall down. That was executed so perfectly that made me smile. It really felt like playing the story mode again.

RATS! RATS! All over the place! Of all kinds! You really pulled out some great character design here. I just loved those rats, of all kinds. Where somebody would simply implement an object as an obstacle, you adaptated those rats to BE the obstacles. I specially liked the ones wich ate you and you went trough their brains. Oh, and the one that speaks at the end of the level.

I know that it's weird that I mention this, but one of the things that I loved the most was the castle at the end. That really was beautiful. I'm really looking forward to see the next level. Please, oh please, let it be a boss fight there.

Oh, and I also want to mention the use of cardboard that you made in your level. It fitted so **** perfectly. In fact, seeing yours made me rethink the use that I give to that material in my levels. I'll make sure I use it much more from now on, now that I've seen how good looking it can be.

The only negative feedback that I can give it's about the sticker switches. It saddens me that you only use sticker from the DLC packs, since I own no DLC, thus I'm unable to access certain parts of the level.
I'd advise you to change that in your next level, if possible, so more players get to play those sections.

Ah, and also a word about the level key thing.
It's just personal, but don't change the way it works. I love having to get the key in order to play the next level. It also feels very story mode like.


All in all, , and another heart + genial tag + a creator heart wich you already have.
Feel special, I've only given 5 creator hearts!

About the F4F, I'll mercilsessly ask for it when my new level is published.

I agree, but I still think he should use Jagrevi's suggestion about republishing the intro level.

[Keldur]

I agree, but I still think he should use Jagrevi's suggestion about republishing the intro level.

Oh, I'm afraid I missed that suggestion.
Yeah, I would tell him to go for it, his levels are so great and still have such a little audience...
But hey, at least we feel a bit special for knowing about their existence, don't we?

[warlord_evil]

I have not played this level, I suppose I should!

I just want to let you know, this level was featured on LittleBIGPodcast Episode 44.

[madcowj]

Hey I've played all three levels and I am HUNGRY for more! Never have a seen levels that have so closely replicated the clever polish of the story mode, and frankly the idea is brilliant. I bet it takes a looong time getting these going, but I just want to make sure that you're still working on it!

[piggabling]

Yeah I sure hope you're still working!!
