Title: [Easy/Misc/Puzzle] - Juni & Pig - My first level! Feedback please!
Post by: Byron on July 28, 2009, 06:22:19

Hey guys, I just discovered Knytt and KS a few days ago, and this is my first shot at making a level. I kept it very short (though with some somewhat technical shifts and warps). I did this as an introductory experience to KS level creating, so please play Juni & Pig (very short!) and give me any tips or critiques you see fit. Thanks!

Pretty good, especially for a first level! I actually only have two gripes:

Spoiler: (click to show/hide)

In the place with the honey that prevented you from jumping, the spot on the outside where you could jump up so as to continue onwards was very difficult to see.

Also, some of the jumps in this level? Not so easy. Maybe normal, but not easy. But I won't fault you for that, since this is your first level. ;)

Anyway, I liked it! I hope you continue making levels! :^^:

Great level for being the first one, the places link smothly and i liked the use of flags(?) for avoid repeating signs

Yes, nice level... Juni is way to careless with her pets!!!

Blowing up stuff around them and stuff...

Anyway, nice use of flags to make it run smoothly! Excellent first level!

I liked this level. It's not particularly remarkable, but your level of technical competence is promising. I hope you make more levels. :)

Well, so far, the consensus seems to be that for a first level you done good and I agree. Although levels don't need a story to be playable and interesting you also managed to give us a sweet little through line. I can only imagine that all this positive feedback will spur your creative juices further.   :)

The statues are freaking awesome. One jump proved to be almost impossible, but great work.

Indeed a great first level. I like the rather puzzling part where you figure out what to do next.

The jumps in this level weren't very hard.

The jumps aren't exactly easy but with a little figuring out they aren't too hard.

It's a nice quick level C)

As always, I'm stuck at what is undoubtedly some obvious obstacle. I checked the level editor to see if I was missing some kind of tricky secret, but I came up with nothing.

So...

How do I to the other side of the waterfall? I don't have the necessary power-ups to jump past the purple sea monster who shoots out energy balls (you know the one).

Other than that, it looks like a cute level from the dozen or so screens I've seen so far.

That was a fun little level. Some jumps are a bit very close and took me quite a few tries.
Also I maybe a bit slow, finding pathways, so it took me quite a while finding my way through.

finding the bridge which the ghost was building took me pretty long  C)

Thanks everyone for the input! I will take it all to heart when designing my next level. I'm also glad to see that Knytt has a mature, supportive, friendly community (a rare find these days). Thanks again. You have definitely encouraged me to make more levels.

Take a jump one screen left to reach the tower there.

Right outside the entrance to the bees' hive, there's a spot without honey, where you can jump. You have to jump onto the wall above the entrance and climb.

thanks Googoog! WOW that is VERY hard to miss... and so is...

Spoiler: (click to show/hide)

the ghost wall! lolz if i hadn't clipped it jumping i'm sure i would've been stuck for hours!

i'm just gonna go ahead and go with the consensus that you do have a lot of level making potential so i also am anxious for more of your work

its kind of trivial...

Spoiler: (click to show/hide)

but i personally didn't like how the map just went ina circle... after they leave the hive it just loops back around to their farm, i don't know it's probably just me lolz.
