The Whyld West ~ Platformer (My Last LBP2 Level)

[theIronHorse]

Hey Everybody! This is my final LBP2 Level!

The Whyld West ~ Platformer

Enter the zany world of the Whyld West! From cacti to words spelled incorrectly, this is definitely a land worth traveling too!

This is my final level, so I decided to revive an old forgotten project of mine that I thought would be perfect as a sort of LBP2 blowout goodbye. I tried not to show much of the level in the screenshots, mainly only showing big points in the level or things I thought I would be fun.



This level is colorful, fun, reminiscent of Mnniska's style, and has a certain retro-feel in terms of the story and way I executed it.



Here we see the niece of the local chicken farmer, Matildurr!



Here's a picture of a character who has no story influence!

I was asked to update the level to not include a small section which pointlessly used a grapple hook, so if you've played it just imagine the grapple hook deal didn't happen. Yeah. You just grabbed it with your hands. I'm looking at you Jimmy. Also, if the level links don't show any level, replay or reload my earth by loading in another one than coming back to mine, it seems the sub levels don't always load.

That was a really good level! I love the presentation, and the platforming was fun. I thoroughly enjoyed playing it. Seriously, it looked awesome.
The part where you dodge the cabbages is a bit challenging; I couldn't stay alive once another one or two were thrown in. :P
Overall, great way to leave LBP2!

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, the part with the cabbages is supposed to be unpredictable and next to impossible. That's why the first minigame prepares you for it, then the boss throws you quite the curveball. I intended for it to be that way, and don't intend on changing it, however I appreciate the fact that you say that. It confirms to me that I made it hard xD

I'll get around to playing your level, seems it deserves more attention with the posts- hasn't been replied to in about 3 months now! D:

So apparently this got Team Picked today. O-o Thanks for letting me have the title of last LBP2 Team Pick before LBP3!

Hey Matthaniel!

Congratulations on getting your newest level Team Picked!
I recently played it with a friend and today I played it again by myself. I have to say that it is a very well designed, colorful and fun platformer.

What I especially like is the friendly art style and the simple but well executed platforming. It is quite easy to play but still a lot of fun. The (platforming) train section reminds me of a story level of LBP1. I also like the part where you have to walk on the walls as this one is a bit more tricky.

The two mini games are a very nice addition to the level. Though they're both basically the same they brighten up the experience even more and add more variety to the gameplay. Maybe you could have slightly tweaked them, because I found it required too much luck to not die multiple times in these challenges.

Back to the level as a whole: Besides the platforming and the mini games what I think makes this level great is the very polished look, superb visuals, the short pieces of cutscenes and especially its characters. Those water towers are awesome! And the other characters and their dialogues are well done as well.

All in all I think this is a very nice, well polished and fun level. I liked it and hearted it!
I'd be great if you had a look at my newest level series TankMania. I presented it here in the forums. Thank You!


Greetings,
