Title: [Maze][Easy][Small] Cave Adventure
Post by: jdl on May 11, 2012, 00:52:36

This is my second level, made with my own tileset (except for the starting room's tileset of course). Explore a cave and gather all the keys and items to leave, enjoy!

I have a feeling that I should have made this longer, but I sort of lost inspiration after making the darker areas.

Edit: Added screenshots below.

I'll check this out when I'm next at a computer with KS on it, but for now you should consider adding screenshots to your level release threads!

Good point, I've added some screenshots in the first post now. :)

I liked it. I think a good maze level should be a bit... twistier, though. Not necessarily longer, just a bit more puzzling.

Spoiler: Some minor gripes (click to show/hide)

The transition from the first screen to the second was too abrupt, I think. Also I thought getting the climb power-up was a bit too tricky. It could stand to be just a bit lower. I also found getting past the shooter on the screen with the locks pretty hard, even after I had taken care of the spider. You might want to put a less random enemy there.

Other than that, the level was great! I really liked what you did with the tileset. It had just enough variation to give each area a distinctive "look", while still making the level look consistent.

Thanks! I see what you mean by more "twistier". I guess I didn't really make a maze at all, just a straight path for the most part.
For the transition into the cave.. Well, there wasn't too much I could do with the outside tileset that simulates a cave opening, maybe I should have looked at some other tilesets.

Cute level. I like room x1004y1002 a lot, which is good because you managed to get a lot of use out of it.
