STAR WARS: Escape From the Death Star: err...Etc! (Special Edition)

[Behonkiss]

Yes, yes, YES! I actually played your first two Star Wars levels last week, and assumed that that was going to be it simply because it had been so long since the last one. They were fantastic, and I'm going to play this immediately.

Thanks for the comments guys, and nice to see Cubb and Gravel pop by, you guys don't get seen much these days! The link thing seems to have gotten a little better, I deleted and republished the 2nd and 3rd levels a day into publishing as part of a mutli-pronged effort to try and refresh and stabilise them, no comments about them since, so it's helped at least a bit. Glad you liked it. And big thanks for the vid Dom, thats awesome of you. 30 mins, no shame there. ; )

Amazing level(s) jules! Lots to like in this one, you've come up with some really fun/creative platforming sections. The controllinator section with the red/blue floor was pretty neat. The co-op section with Leia also looked like it was going to be very charming and fun...grabbing her feet to swing over to stuff, etc. She did get stuck however after a bad throw...I'll have to retry later. I did upload a photo...you can sorta see Leia stuck above behind the cage material. HTH

Wow! Just Wow! I played last night and Jules, you have outdone yourself. This is what I put "in game:" I said it before and I'll say it again. The best Star Wars levels on LBP. This by far exceeded my expectations. I knew it would be good, but good googamooga this was awesome. The level is excellently crafted with fine details throughout. The game play elements are challenging, unique and fun. I didn't even mind dying a 100 times. The dialogue is humorous and the special effects just marvellous. Outstanding work.

The game play in this was sooo good.I loved every section. There is so much varied game play that nothing seemed repetitive. I loved all the humor through out the level(s) especially the little chase scene where the storm troopers are chasing the others back n forth. I love how you put in the tiniest of details and if I listed them all it would fill up several pages. Awesome series and I look forward to what you cook up next.

Whoever is in charge of pushing the MM Pick button should be fired. This should already have a pink ribbon around it.

Outstanding in every way.

@ Elvenbane, Thanks (and apologies,lol) I went in and had a look and there was a small gap up there, grrr. Thats the trouble with 2 subbed levels, its an absolute pain to re-start. Thanks for uploading the pic, its sorted.

Thanks guys!

I spotted you publishing the locked versions, and queued them anyway, then they somehow disapperared and I lost track of what was happening.
Queued again now, I bet it will be awesome hands down, fairy hands down

Ok, I played until chapter 2, then blame Psyntens for harrassing me with "join with me" messages even when I have auto reject

[julesyjules]

When you gotta go, you gotta go. Less than a third of players claw their way through to the last level anyway, and that's through level link problems, bugs (which I'm sure I've pretty much vanquished now), difficulty issues or boredom ( and now I'll add Psy to the list) - take your pick lol. Getting some really great comments on it though, so ima happy .

Great level epicness at its best. I played the first two ages ago and have been waiting desperatley for the next instalment.
All the scenes and humor in the level was fantastic and i can't wait to see more. Your levels have gotta e the bes star wars levels out there so far.

Must find the time to go through the whole thing again

I played through this on Saturday and it was awesome!

It's got all the fun and humor I've come to expect from this series all wrapped up in a beautifully designed visual extravaganza. The camera work is perfect and the way you have shot for shot matches to the movie was impressive. Besides the jokes, sets, brilliant gameplay and blaster effects the thing that most stood out for me was all the tiny details you packed in. Stuff most creators wouldn't even bother with, such as jumping from the docking bay to the left at the very beginning you altered the gravity and change music, when you grab the tractor beam handles after shutting it down it makes the party horn noise, and a few others that put an extra smile on my face as I discovered them. I love that sort of easter egg stuff in levels.

So I'll stand by what I said on lbp.me - perfection Keep 'em coming!

[Slurm]

Played it this weekend and loved it. Various and creative gameplay, fun cutscenes, and a great attention to details. This was difficult but never frustrating, everything was close to perfection. I've only one precise complain : The jump on bouncepad at the beginning of part 2 was difficult, and saddly I've lost all my lives here, forcing me to restart from the beginning. But that's a really minor thing and everyone should give this level a try, it's worth the play.

[julesyjules]

Thanks guys. You mention details Morgana, credit where it's due, that little trip out the hangar was Mr Fusions idea in playtesting, so I've him to thanks for that. My favourite little egg is Leias scrawlings in her cell, dunno if anyones noticed the chalk sack - with buns : ).

Slurm, I''ve added a spawn point at the tractor beam, no idea how it went so wrong for you there, but no matter, that restart issue wont happen anymore.

Lol, send the cheque to the usual address. I should say that any input I had was so minimal and all ideas I had came about because this level got my imagination jumping in a way that few things do. The stage is so full and polished it was just exciting to get into the first elevator.

The most amazing thing was how 'ready' it was weeks (months) ago. Playing some different versions of the rooms, as well as seeing some concept stuff was a big learning experience. Seeing the obsession for excellence firsthand was quite a sight to behold.

Its a little bit of a let down to learn people don't get to the end, the intro to PT3 is ridiculously good.
