Title: [Environmental/Playground] [Easy/Normal] Terra di bellezza
Post by: Cosine on July 22, 2009, 21:53:51
Well, this is my first attempt at an environmental level, I hope you enjoy it. It took me a while to make it. :D

Features:
15 different areas to explore, with 134 screens!
10 secrets!
A (horrible) cheating protection system that a jellyfish could outsmart! It only protects one room! Awesome!
NPCs that talk!
Environments!
A cutscene!
No ending!
Humor!
Exclamation points!

NOTE: If you get to the incredibly snazzy land of hand-drawnness, don't hold right when you're falling. The cheating system is very strict... Fixed! :D
NOTE2: While making some things, I had "bezzella" in mind instead of "bellezza." My bad.

I don't know Italian. Mind helping me out? 'Belleza' is beauty, obviously, but what's the other?

"land of".

Also, that's kinda funny, because Beauty would be the one word I would have to look up. Terra is for terrain.

Also, I have a new version that has a better cheat protection system, and doesn't go all spastic on legitimate people.

No, I meant, what's "bezzella"? I know "terra", it's very similar in both French and Spanish.

I like it a lot. Especially the caverns of the dead. I didn't find a whole lot, but then I'm really bad at finding secret things so I'm assuming there is a whole lot more to this level so I will definitely explore it further.
Good job!

I'm afraid I've now gone everywhere I could go without having Mad Jumping Skillz.   :( (Found one symbol, and another key, in addition to the key and the... other thing I'd already found.)

Wait a second. You can't get the

until after you get all of the keys and symbols... That means you found a void. Where was it?

As a test, I cheated my way into the
Spoiler: (click to show/hide)
and nothing stopped me or looked out of place at all. I think your system's broken. :/

As for the level, it was alright. Not great, but alright. Several of the areas seemed pretty sparse, like the Blocklands (to the immediate right left of the starting point) and the starting area itself. The areas also didn't really flow into each other for the most part (e.g. a snowy field leading into a farm, not to mention everything connected to the place with the Spectrum Blocks tileset), but other than that, it was fairly good.

The cheating system isn't in that room.

BTW, I kind of agree with Pick Yer Poison re: the sparseness of some of the areas, and the lack of 'flow' (i.e., a lot of the areas just sort of sat next to each other without feeling like they belonged to the same world). That said, there *were* quite a few nice screens, so there's definitely promise here. And of course, sparseness isn't always a problem, it can be nice, too. I liked the 'icy' area despite its sparseness, for example, because the platforms and background were arranged in an aesthetically pleasing way.

That's a void. Not sure how I never noticed that... >_< Fixing.

It involves some serious triangle jumping skills.

Oh, and if you find it, don't tell me it's horrible. I already knew that  XD
