EDIT: PLEASE READ!

This level recently got moderated. I have no idea why, but I suspect it's because someone didn't like our parrot. We've re-released it but the parrot doesn't talk. We're fixing that but, well, all hearts and plays have gone. This sucks

[AbstractFlesh]

Oh crap...we need pictures! We should play tomorrow and take some pics!

I enjoyed this, but didn't get the whole parrot thing? It still made me laugh a little though.

4 stars and a heart.

[AbstractFlesh]

Yeah,the Humanity-hating parrot (Carl) was just a random,hilarious thought by KoRn.

Visuals: Great visuals, I really liked the backgrounds, and the atmosphere of the level was pretty wonderful too. One minor detail that I really loved were the little green vines crawling up some of the pillars - they really showed that you guys put in some attention to detail. I thought your little "R1" floaters were cute, but for me they were just a nuisance. I don't think the difficulty of the level really merited the need for the hints.

Gameplay: The gameplay mechanics were nice - it was clear you guys were trying to stray from the run of the mill platformer. I didn't really have trouble in any parts, but that's because it wasn't totally challenging. It felt more like a showcase than a level because I felt like I was just going through the motions, not engaged and challenged by the level play.

Story: It was clear you guys weren't going for any big storyline here. The parrot at the end was funny, but kind of out of place. I realize that was probably intentional :P.

Score and Rank: 2, 100 and #2.
Rating: Four Stars.
Tag: Pretty.

If you should get time to return the feedback, I would hugely appreciate it. The link to my thread is in my sig! Thanks a lot!

We should be adding pictures and a video soon.As for the F4F I think KoRnDawwg can do it,im the republisher

That's what I thought with my Perpetual II level, but people were too ****ing stupid and apathetic to figure out even the most simplest of puzzles for themselves, and so therefore they rated harshly due to their own lack of logic. Thankfully you're not like that.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback, and yes, the parrot is supposed to feel out of place, completely random That's the humour in it but, well, I guess only me and Evan 'get it'.

PROS

+The parrot was funny!
+I love the boat you guys made.
+The little details were also nice, (Vines, waterfalls)
+Everything pretty much!

CONS
-Nothing, The level was very nicely polished!

Hope to see more of these collaborations! They've all produced great results so far!

F4F: Can you please give feedback on my level SIREN: The Lost World [Episode 3- Holes]? Thanks!

[KoRnDawwg]

(God why is this only getting 4 stars? -__-')

Thanks for the feedback! Video is cooked and ready! Added!

[Noroibito]

haha, I'm sorry! I rarely give out 5 stars unless the level is something completely new and mind-blowing. Just saying! I apologize if I offend you!

[KoRnDawwg]

LOL Nah you didn't man I was just kidding xD

[fijski8]

I thought this level was incredible. Everything was smooth and visuals were perfect.
I gave it 5 stars and a heart.
Look forward to more work from the both of you. And Korndawg is right about the R1 things... 90 percent of lbp community needs those. Otherwise they'd leave and rate 1 to 3 stars.
I felt like this is the best co create i have played. And i have played a few. Mostly on friends moons.
I loved how smart the gameplay was. Every second was... WOW. thats cool...
5 stars all the way!
And the parrot was the icing on the cake! Wonderful!

[AbstractFlesh]

Thank you!

[KoRnDawwg]

I think our level is ROCKIN' on page five. Oh yeah, we are so awesome

Thing is that by now we would usually be on page three, but this whole water level spam has created a massive queue. I mean, Wex's Battleship level stayed on Page 2 for a couple of days and racked up 10,000 plays whilst page one was chillaxing with an average of 100,000! Sucks

Oh well. I think I wanna redo the video...Didn't capture everything...

[AbstractFlesh]

Page 4 Yay!

It has a ring to it don't you think?

[RockSauron]

Five Stars and hearted. Meyep. Very fun.

Except for one thing: it was very hard to jump from the boat to the scoreboard- way harder then it should have. I kept falling off D:

anyway, other then that tis good... albeit weird.

[AbstractFlesh]

We wanted it to be fun,but wierd! Thanks for playing

[Tekky]

D-a-m-n what a nice level.
Atmosphere is brilliant and great use of lightning.
I really loved the attention to detail and that parrot made me lol especially when he is at the water, what a hateful creature it is.
Those moving platforms are well made and imaginative.
5 stars and tagged it great

[zekeike]

Pro's
+ Great visuals/material use.
+ All the platforming/logic use was top notch
+ parrot part was hilarious

Con's
- would like to know about the backstory of this cool place called Paradise.

One thing I would fix is the part after the big rotating boulder.
If you jump from the front layer you will fall to your death because of the thin material in front of the platform.

[MightyMoeJoe]

Really nice Level...good Visuals and nice Gameplay !!!

Just some Suggestions:
- Maybe there should be a little bit more different materials...everything i saw was like stone and grass...but i liked the way you were building the Level with that...for example the little Vines and the stones in these Rocks...

- What i was missing are some enemies...they would make the Level a little bit more diversified...

The Parrot is funny...laughed a lot ^^

Keep it up Guys...


Maybe u find time to give me feedback on my F4F Lev "Odysee for a Treasure-Chapter 1"

thx
