For the whole project,
check out: "Project Legendary"

I would like to thank TheAdipose for his input and help,
As he helped me to create the "Fat" Sackapillar room-logics and idea he (and me) thought of.
I would like to thank TheGide who helped me with the 3d glitch I needed at the end of the level.
Also thanks to everyone who helped me to test the level (theGide/theAdipose/Newb/Frederique etc)

Enjoy!
Any comments, reviews and head-up's for problems in-game are appreciated!
I would also like to know what you people think of the conversations in-game.


Extra's
My biggest level so far, though the biggest part can only be seen for a minute.
My coolest "Sack, The legendary" cutscene(s) so far.
My best lighting so far.
Rollercoaster sackapillars.
Nice platforming.
Visually my best work yet.
Very cool ending cut-scene with one of the biggest and evilest of Morbids.
Various secrets.
Good and fun placement of score-bubbles.
Lots of Prize-bubbles.
Cut-scene skipper (but who would want to skip a roller-coaster ride )
Every object you will see in the level is original and self created (besides a few squares for logic (you wont see these) and a few circles for grabbing/hanging)

Please note:
This level is TWO PLAYERS MAX,
If you want to use more players I cannot guarantee that the Jack Sackapillar cut-scene will work unless a max. of two players get onto Jack Sackapillar and the other one/two players "commit suicide"
Also the final Sackapillar might get stuck when four players grab it at its weakest momentum.

Fixes:
* Moved "Fat butt comment" so player doesnt have to walk all the way up to the tree.
* Made the orange Sackapillar much much easier to grab.
* Made fire at final cutscene not kill you when waiting for cutscene to end.
* Made butterfly explain you how to get on the green Sackapillar.

HOLY... SH** That looks amazing! I have to play this ASAP! I gotta feeling that this level series is gonna end up on my hearted page...

[Luos_83]

Thanks to TheAdipose I got a trailer for Sack, The legendary level 4.

I also uploaded a huge poster with various images of the level.

Luos, this is definitely your best work yet. I still remember first time you showed me this level and it impressed the pants off me, figuratively speaking.

The design of the level is absolutely brilliant. It's an enchanting experience, the way you've created a secluded atmosphere with appropriate mood lighting. The pathing has a very organic feel and is fun to navigate.

The caterpillar rollercoaster sequence is my favorite part. Not only is it fun and entertaining to watch, but its seamlessly integrated into the level. It doesn't feel like a gimmick. It was also a great way to present your level title.

I really like the design of the morbids, but whatever I could say about them is insignificant the moment you cross the bridge and are assaulted by the giant morbid. This is my other favorite part. I'm so glad our foray with 3D foreground worked here. It looks fantastic.

Not much criticism I could offer - we've already gone over some of the gameplay fine tuning in cocreate. The rather lengthy dialogue in this level is bound to put some people off, but this is your style and you seem quite happy not to sell short your artistic vision to the highest bidder. I respect that.

This is a fantastic piece of work, and finally I can add it to my hearted levels list.
