"The Queen calls you to the Gardens to tell you of urgent news! Can you help her?"
--------------------------

I originally had a level called "Return to the Gardens", it was a good level but it lacked shine and decent game play. I tried redesigning the level before, but I would always make it wrong in some way, I've finally got something good made out of it. This level looks great, and the game play is a lot better than that of the original level.

I hope that this level will seem like a nostalgic level to everyone, I tried designing it by basing it off of the Fairytale concept art, and story levels combined.

Please tell me of any problems, I would like your opinions and advice!

Thanks to GreyMRP for the video!

The level images were edited to look better, but then again, in-game photos take out some details.

Hey warlord! As you know this level is really good, and the visuals are brilliant. Even though I played this level lots of times it still doesn't get boring.

I love the ending, that was very cool. Although sometimes the zipline got abit stuck, but apart from that it's a brilliant level. Thanks for finishing it.

This looks very good. I'm going to give it a look

[KQuinn94Z]

This is quite brilliant. I loved every single gameplay piece, every detail of the visuals. Everything in this level made me smile, and I had one little problem with it. Whatever colour correction you chose took away from the cuteness and fuzziness of it all. Just personal preference.
5 stars hearted, tagged brilliant and decided to eat a muffin to celebrate!

The color correction is that colorful one, I just had the darkness up a bit, I already tweaked it just a little, so It's a little brighter and more cheerful.

Wow, this looks awesome, I'm off to play it.

[Shadowcrazy]

oh and i didnt mention this before....but thanks for putting objects with layer glitch as prizes...dont even know how much i needed some of those objects...now hopefully i can start making some cool looking levels maybe....or not lol....still its nice to have them just in case

[GreatWhite000]

I loved the level! It really made my cousin mad though, he kept dying at the beginning. :P lol
I hearted the level, and gave it 5 stars.

Great level. It was the fantastic title that attracted me.
Smooth and fun gameplay. Very good visuals and lighting. I especially like the parts in and around the big tree.
Good use of the layer glitch. (I was trying to get in the 'foreground' right at the beginning )

I also got stuck twice on the zipline. But that's all the criticism I can think of.

Cool stuff. Are you thinking of doning a sequel?

[AbstractSam]

Amazing level. Some of the best visuals I've seen. I played your other version (the one before it got revamped) and wow, what a huge difference. Amazing. 5 stars and a heart.

Depending on what happens in the future, I might do a sequel.
About that zipline, everyone says they're having problems with it, however I'm not sure how to fix it, anyone have suggestions?

By the way, thanks for nice comments everyone!

Shortness=evil thermometer.
If you notice I made a lot of curly vines and I put small details into everything, which simply consumed the shapes thermometer.

I was going to make it into two levels, but it seemed pointless as the only area to be added was the vine forest. (It was going to be a whole new section of gameplay.)

[PaddyJ]

Beautiful and fun.

only ONE thing.

You know inside the tree when you have to put the crates in the basket to weigh it down?

When you complete it a platform moves down so you can get through, this gets in the way. Just change it to dissolve and make it dissolve when you weigh down the basket instead.

Loved the ending and everything else. Thanks for the amazing level

[Chump]

Yeah, I know its short because it's too awesome for the thermo... he can be so jealous...
You could recycle this vine forest into another completely different, so we still could play it :P
I'm just saying

[FlipMeister]

I can't tell you how amazing this level is. I mean, seriously, that's one of the best levels I've ever played. And I've played ALOT of levels. Playing it reminded me so much of that first ever GDC 07 conference demo. Congratulations, sir, you are a winner.
