The Frozen Kingdom of Skadi by Lleonard

[Lleonard Pler]

Please, check out my first PSP level. I put much effort on it, almost 5 days of hard work dealing with the editor.

PSN ID: Lleonard
Map: The Frozen Kingdom of Skadi

It's a "Tomb Raider"-like level, with lots of exploration, platforming and puzzles but very few enemies. The difficulty comes not from dying but from finding the way to proceed further. The setting is a region of snowy mountains, where the Temple of Skadi (Godess of winter) awaits. You're looking for the powerful Bow of Lir, which is hidden in the temple, but your helicopter has crashed and now you have to explore the mountains to reach there.

The puzzles are of progressive complexity, at first they are rather easy but in the end they involve a whole area and require some exploration. There are some hints and visual support to help you in case you get stuck.

Some pictures of the level:













I hope you all like the level or at least post your thoughts to help me improve. Thanks for playing!

I think this was one of my first community levels I played - and it set the bar very high. Loved it, and it had some real length to it as well. I enjoyed all the story and the speech bubbles were all short enough to read, but gave a good suggestion of where to go

Five stars and a heart

Already played and hearted this level before you posted it. I love it and it's very well made with some great, if fiddly design I was too thinking of recommending it lol. So now I do!

[Lleonard Pler]

Thank you for your comment, I'm very happy to discover you already knew about my level.

Now I'm working on my second project, I'll promote it here too when I finish it. It won't be much longer than this Frozen Kingdom, but there are some large puzzle areas that create a more complex mapping. It starts in a dig site, where you are trying to access a temple and then the temple itself is inspired by St. Francis Folly from the first Tomb Raider: a hall connecting to four themed challenges.

PS: JKthree, I was in a hurry before and couldn't post the link to your video, so thank you for doing it!

Hey Lleonard,

You are a master of layers! I must say that your level was the first community level I played that took advantage of the thin and thick layers really well, and the sculpting done on the underground scene was exquisite. I love details, and having to ring those three bells in order to enter the temple was brilliant.

My only gripe about the level was that measly one point bubble hanging on a thread on the early underground platforming level...it seems like so much work for one bubble. Unless that's just humor. (Its at 2:10 in JKThree's video.)

Anyways, I enjoyed the level, particularly for the details and well-crafted scenes. Five stars, level and author heart. I'm looking forward to playing your next level.

Ringing bells,

I played this level too, and thought it was brilliant. One of the longer community levels out there, and certainly one of the best.

I recently played your level, and it was awesome! I enjoyed every single bit of it, it had the same class as a any excellent LBP level, I almost began to cry of pure happiness because of the beauty of the level...

Notice the almost.

5 stars and a Heart from me!

[LieutenantFatman]

I just played this today, recommended of course! Really good fun. 5 stars easily and a heart, well done indeed.

[Gilgamesh•]

Amazing level, easily one of the best and longest I've played.

and ♥'ed.

I liked it, I think all the comments (positives) here and in other forums you promoted it express what I feel for your work.

This is a really great level, It has good scenery, a fairly good length. It has good puzzles and the attention to the details is impressive.

And this level makes good use of the thin and thick layers, because it requires some work because of the PSP's limitation of only having 2 thick layers and 3 thin layers, while LBP PS3 has 3 thick layers and 4 thin layers.

Overall, it is one of the greatest levels on LBP PSP I have played to date.

I played this level a few days ago, but forgot to post until now D:
Anyway, I truly did LOVE this level. The snow/ice theme looked so right, and the colors used in this level all worked perfectly.
5/5* and

I am just finally making my rounds to check out the some user made PSP levels, and this is the first one I checked out. Boy, oh boy is this a great level. Your use of speech bubbles as well as camera angles, really help your level to stand out from the crowd (not to mention the awesome platforming ). This is the only PSP level that I have played multiple times, so that should tell you something

Keep up the awesome work!

[Morgana25]

Wow - got to play this one today and it's one of the most fully realized, long and well constructed psp levels I've seen. Great layer use, mateiral usage, geometry and platoforming. Good story and I especially liked how there were areas you had to traverse more than once. Nice way to lengthen the experience without using more thermo! Smart!

I downloaded the sequel but haven't played that yet. I'll be checking it out for sure though. 5 stars & hearted - nice work!
