Spoiler - From the 65th Spotlight Showcase

Crisis by WoodburyRaider/WoodburyRaider
World War III: Part 1

Crisis is one of the most unique levels you'll find on the community moon. WoodburyRaider mixes platforming, puzzles, story, multiple-paths, and RPG elements all into this one level. Sounds crazy, but somehow, it all works oh-so perfectly. Crisis is one not to miss.

WoodburyRaider delivers a masterpeice of a Role Playing Game with his newest level Crisis. This Infamous-esque Role Player comes packed full of challenging platforming, remarkable Corner Editing, well crafted characters, and most importantly, outstanding gameplay! Who knew a WWIII environment could be so much fun to play through?

For a level that claims to be a crisis, this level didn't cause that amongst whether to choose it for a spotlight! We were swayed by the clever RPG elements, the simple but fun platforming and the overall feel that this level was something new and different. A step in the right direction? More like a leap of pure awesomeness from Woodbury!

The first part in a new level series. This is where it all begins. The decisions you make effect other people's perceptions of you forever.

Enjoy this multi-path RPG-style level originally inspired by Spark151's Autumn Maple Leaves. This is my first attempt at a level with everything: story, platforming, and puzzles. Who knows? Maybe you'll even find it humorous with a hidden Spark151 reference.

That sounds great =)! I'll try to play it as soon as I can (probably tomorrow, cause my evil PSP doesn't want to accept the wifi here for some reason 0_0)

Sounds epic. Will try it soon!

**The-Questor** · 08-01-2011

I'm not too sure as of what date I can give you feedback BUT I AM pretty sure I will be able to give this a run through (Maybe two if there's enough bubbles) later on today. Rock on 'till then Woodbury.

**austimerr** · 08-01-2011

This was awesome! I loved the choice that you had to make but I was sad that I couldn't save the guy with the sick flow

. The level looked very nice and had some nice simple platforming and a fun but slightly over used puzzle. One problem I had with the level was that I left the sewer without the sticks went to the boy and he told me to go talk to the guy who was stuck in the tree. Then he told me to go talk to that other guy near the sewer (forgot his name) The speech bubble was there but he wasn't! Also what exactly did the ball do? Anyway this level was so awesome due to its RPG feel and its overall awesomeness. I gave it

and a

! Can't wait for level two!

Thanks for the feedback austimerr! Don't worry about the guy with sick flow, he'll make another appearance soon enough.

I originally thought about not having them tell you to go back to the sewer if you didn't grab the wood initially, but then I was like "Meh, might as well add that in too."

The reason the guy didn't show up for you was because it just so happened that at the exact moment you left the sewer and triggered the "cutscene," the guy attempted to emit himself but the bird you saw earlier got in his way. It's a random glitch that I couldn't fix and you just got terribly unlucky that you triggered it at exactly the right thirteen second time interval and I'm sorry for that.

Anyways, I'm glad you were able to ignore that and continue on, Part II is on its way.

I'm downloading it now, I cant wait to play through the whole thing and see what you changed.

Thanks, let me know if there are two speech bubbles that are still messed up on the "good" path. I'm working on fixing it now so you may want to hold back on the download or let me know if you think it's worth republishing for. For some reason, when you push the thermo like I did, speech bubbles have a tendency to add/lose random characters, another annoying glitch on the PSP version.

WoodburyRider
Score: 8/10
Rating:

This is where it all begins.

Spoiler - Crisis

Story:
I like the concept, but I thought you focused to much on helping others out. Some parts were bland in this level i think. The real interesting part of the level was the morallity system, which in part was real executed. I want to see how this system is incorperated into future levels. 7.25/10

Gameplay:
There were many good aspects in this area. The platforming had nice flow to it, and was solid for most of the level. There were many neat mini-puzzles in the level. My major issue in this level was its design, in which the layout was X-axis heavy. There could've been some more vertical gameplay. Also the level was very easy, in my opinion, but I did have a lot of fun with the level. 7.75/10

Sound/Fx:
The music fit the level well. The Fx were good in number and quality. 9/10

Asthetics:
The visuals were good in this level, but there are many aspects that can be worked on in this area. You had very good material choice, but I wouldn't use that basic stone as that look out of place. The characters and objects looked very well done. There were barely any stickers in the level, but it stil looked good considering the eviorment. I didn't like the corner editing that much, as the leaves in the trees looked slopy, and the caves looked jagged. The only thing that looked rewarding in the corner editing was the grounds and the thin layers on it. 8/10

Originaliy:
The Autumn Maple Leaves setup hiders this area, but there were many original things in this level. 8/10

Misc:
Nothing wrong here that I saw. 10/10

Crisis is a promising start to a news series by WoodburyRider. Though some polishing issues exist in this level, it will be interesting to see what levels come in the future.

Basically most of the marks were polishing issues.

**Schark94** · 08-01-2011

Hey I'm back with the feedback!

Well I have to say Woodbury this level was fantastic! Everything worked fine. I really enjoyed this level. It has great gameplay, puzzles, characters and an epic story.

for you and can't wait to see part 2.

Thanks for the top-quality review Random.

Like I said in the chat, the polishing errors occurred at random and were not there in previous beta releases but appeared out of nowhere instead. I admit that the story should have been less focused on small little tasks, but I had changed the way the story progressed multiple times along the way and this seemed to flow the best. As for the material choice, I think it's just personal preference so I respect your opinion. I also kept the stone in the level to keep the flow of materials consistent throughout. The minor errors were a result of what appears to be me pushing the thermo over its limits. Apparently, it can really destroy the wording in speech bubbles.

Thanks Schark! I'm glad to hear it all worked out well for you. Did you play both paths (good and bad)? Part II is currently in the works and is looking good.

Oh, didn't even know that there is a possibility like choosing between good and evil... hmm that's also original. Will play it again as the bad guy. Thanks again!

**JetArtois** · 08-01-2011

Will try this tonight pal.

Yup. In this level the end result is the same, however, you have to get there a little differently with varying speech bubbles along the way. All the levels will have this morality feature.

Great! Tell me what you think.

Ok, i go to the moon community to download.

**CyberSora** · 08-02-2011

Behold, CyberSora finally giving a review!

The Good
Gameplay was short, sadly. However, I loved your storyline! The whole inFAMOUS feel of the Kama system was excellent, and I was excited to see more of it (until the scoreboard came up). As for the visuals, I think you nailed them perfectly. There were moments where I thought the level was empty, though, so try to add more things in your next one. Maybe a bush or forest?

The Bad
Pretty much the empty-ness in the level. Not only that, but some parts were ridiculously hard to conquer. Like the tree where the stool is; the branch was too low, so I had to jump multiple times to get on the higher branch. And the first place where you meet the girl about Africa: not only did that confuse me about the plot, but it was a little bit difficult trying to get out when a front layer of gas could kill you if you plane-switched by accident.

The Mystery
That girl. I NEED TO KNOW WHY SHE WAS DOWN THERE, AND WHO SHE IS! I'm determined to find out, even though I think you're just using it as a secret to tease us of the next level.

Overall,

and a

. Excellent job Woodbury.

Awesome! I noticed your signature, I can't wait to play your new levels on the way, but still, take your time.

Cyber...I'm shocked at your reviewing capabilities!

Since the good parts make me feel all warm and bubbly inside, I'll just comment on the bad areas.

I don't really know what you mean by empty-ness, I assume you're referring to the lack of things to do in most areas and not the aesthetics? I completely agree that there could be more, but that dang thermo, it gets me every time. About the tree, you had trouble climbing it? Silly Cyber, you're meant to grab on to the material conveniently placed under the branch for you to "climb" up.

If you needed help getting up on the tree in the first place, you just swing from grabbing on to the tire swing. (I assume you already knew that part though.) Anyways, I'm glad you enjoyed it, there's a lot more Moral Moments to come.

Well, do I win a prize for doing it the hard way?
