Would love to get some feedback!

I really liked this level. The overall atmosphere was excellent, and it had a bit of difficulty without being impossible or irritating. Some things could be improved; maybe put a checkpoint on top of the mountain when it erupts? However, overall I thought it was great and can;t wait to see more of your levels

4 stars, heart and creator heart.

Also: love the gold psp!

[Arrestor]

Thanks for that great feedback!
I thought of that checkpoint too, but being put back right into the eruption seemed not to be a good idea.

What else to improve?

Woah I'm very impressed with this level. It looks just superb, probably the best visuals I've seen on a LBP PSP level

It's a shame it's so short, otherwise it'd be the best PSP level so far. Still I love it, only real problem was the camera angles at the very end made it difficult to make some of the jumps.

Can't wait for more from you

Wow thanks!
Even this length was some tough work...

btw: my psp isnt gold, its just the light

Hey Arrestor,

I agree with Coxy224, that this was one of the most visually pleasing levels out there. The colors were vibrant, and the decorations fit the theme and landscape perfectly. My only gripe was the length of the level...it left me wanting more...I thought the ending was abrupt and didn't give a finality to the level...perhaps you can add more?

Job well done...5 stars, level and author heart...

i have a small off topic question. Since this is my first level and i dont now how to show it in my showcase levels... will it get there automatically?

[Sackwise]

Amazing! The scenery is very well made, and it's very captivating. Five stars and heart

[CyberSora]

Amazing! I really liked the chopper ride and the escape scene. I only wish it could have lasted longer. Still, awesome!

This is a great level. A lot of fun and great visuals.

and ♥'ed.

Although I'm currently busy with the create mode and Christmas and everything, yesterday I could play your level. And I had a blast with it. Your modelling skills are amazing, everything felt perfectly crafted, natural and realistic but also charming. I could feel the lava, what a great effect you achieved. The helicopter was very good, too. And the elevator!

My only complain is the camera angle of the last section, which made it really hard to jump from tree to tree.

But it's a 5 stars level anyway, hearted level and author.

Hey thanks Lleonard! Its really great hearing such stuff from a genius creator that u are!

[Rogar]

Great looks, loved the initial climb, sneaking from layer to layer, but I have to agree about the checkpoints. I died on top when the volcano erupted, and it's a bit weird to land back down. My first reaction was to run left, away from the volcano.

But still a very good level.

Sorry it took me so long to get around to the review! This is a really good level with fantastic visuals and fun gameplay. Your lava effects are the best I have seen, and I like your environments and objects as well. Helicopters are very easy to screw up, but yours is excellent. Visually it's simple (in a good way), but the part you nailed is the flight characteristics. I was dreading getting into the chopper from the fear I'd end up upside down at the far corner of a blank level, pinned down by a rocket that wouldn't shut off. Yours took off beautifully, flew gracefully, and gave me a nice gentle landing at the end. Color me impressed. (I'll guess you accomplished this with an off-screen cart on a track and hung the helicopter using invisible string. Nice job!) Your elevator looks great as well.

As others have said, you need more checkpoints. The waterfall section looks great, but it's quite difficult to land the jumps. I'd suggest making it less lethal overall... or perhaps not lethal at all. Unelectrify the water and make the gas thin layer objects. You can still have the trees the camera angle the way it is - just put point bubbles in the trees to entice more adventurous players into doing some platforming.

Great work - I want to see what else you can come up with in subsequent levels. 5 stars, hearted, and a creator heart.

Hey Taffey!
Thanks for the great Review and your tips to improve the level.
Impressing you may be not easy, so i am honoured.
Actually you were right with your guess.

Right now i am working on my next level. After that i plan to improve this one. (Especially the waterfall section).

Thanks again and happy new year!
