Thanks to nowblink for the video!

F4F is obviously accepted, as it IS a F4F level. And I would appreciate it if you would take the time to complete the level, and not just quit half way through.
And a HUGE thanks to: Tanrockstan34 for the logic, And Doopz475, Fishrock123,Prattz,
(or Klawwtheclown, here!) Themonkeyblade, Scampsixteen, and Jaslow for beta/playtesting and helping me out when I was feeling glum!

FEATURES:
There are 6 secrets hidden throughout the level, giving a HUGE score-boost to whoever is adventurous enough to find them all.
Also, a X2 player area for those social sackpeople.

I hope to see you guys enjoying my new level as much as i enjoyed making it!

See you there! -Grayspence

VERY big thanks to Fishrock123 for getting the pictures to work!

A lot of fun stuff in this level.

I like the sponge-on-a-spring over the fire pit. People don't use springs much...
I spent a good deal of time on the windmill-like thing trying to reach the top. Once I did there was nothing up there. I thought for sure that would be a secret.
How'd I go thru a wall to find the first secret? Could you point me to a tutorial?
I didn't get to play the 2-player parts; maybe this weekend.
I love the idea of an optional race, but when the gate was lowered it broke the movable sponges I'd been messing with...
One of the springboards broke at the high-jumping part. At least there were two...
The secrets board wasn't labeled. I looked at it for a while thinking it was part of some puzzle... That was the only part taht didn't seem clear, though. I could easily discern all of the walking surfaces and stuff.

Thanks for a fun level!

Thanks! Im not sure, as my firned did those glitches as well as the logic.Im pretty sure it might have been from Aya42's material block. Contact him for more info I guess...

Nice level!
Visually it was very good, like the canyons from the story mode but better.
Gameplay wise it was also pretty good, lots of variety and original gameplay. A lot of areas were a bit chard to walk though, by which I mean you have to watch your step to make sure you stay on the right plane and stuff. Also the part with fiery logs rolling down the hill and the part where you ride on cows could both use infinite life checkpoints, I had to restart the level at the log part and got down to my last life on the cow part.
I also liked the huge rolling ball at the end (very story mode-ish).

4 stars!

Could you play my level Harry Potter Dueling Club? Link in my sig.

Also you can use the albums on this forum to upload pictures, thats what I always do.

Looks pretty nice. I just have to see is this one of the ol' newbie wannabe spectacular canyon levels, or actually good and something very different.

looks neat , play it and give feedback , k ?

- Some invisible gas at the bottom left (front layer) at the start.
+ Cool how the string of bubbles is moving like that.
- On those same bouncy platforms, I shot up too high and saw some dissolve.
- After the green rotating circle/button, why can't you push down/right the 2 smaller red cubes?
- More invisible gas after the rotating fire wheels? (left of checkpoint)
- Possibly add a sound effect fro button jump pad?

Still a nice level, hearted.
Loved the stickering.

You published it, I only thought you made a lock back-up yesterday. Imma play it ASAP!

[grayspence]

Wow! Thanks everyone! I tried to make this level as easy as possible for younger players, while still providing a challenge for the older players. I wil see about adding in a few more infinite live checkpoints at the suggested areas.

[Alec]

okay, just played it!


Loved it, much better than all those other canyon levels, nice gameplay and visuals!
Just one thing, I wish the doors didn't go down with a piston, instead blow 'em up

Wow! Thanks for the feedback, Midnight! Ill be sure to fix the random gas error youve found. I think it has to do with some of the thin gas Ive added. Ill look into fixing it as best I can!

okay, just played it!

+good camera
+great platforming
+various and never boring
+good level design
+are stupid and simple, but i like a lot the little enemies! (the swinging heads)
+i'm first in ranking and i've find neither 1 of the secrets,must replay NOW!

-both the springs bumpers (the place where you must jump HIGH) stopped working after 4 or 5 jumps, and i need to restart. Btw at second try they worked perfectly
