Oh Dr. Cliché! I found him!
Oh.. and your bomb generator is having some problems.

XD Those were great!

A couple bugs:

Blank sign in the

SGE on the screen with the spitter right before high jump room

You can use umbrella and/or double jump to grab the left wall of the

Spoiler: (click to show/hide) water-filled-pit-of-doom.

In one part with the AZT tileset, you use invisible triangle blocks to chain walk, but not another

Edit: Okay. I give up. Where's the yellow key?

Ooh, a new puzzle/environmental level!

I've gotten as far as finding 3 items,

Spoiler: (click to show/hide)

run & the eye, plus the red key,

and I think I've explored everywhere I can reach without more powerups... aside from the

Spoiler: (click to show/hide)

white/shadow area where apparently I'll need to get one or more powerups -- which hopefully are in there somewhere!

in order to get out again.

I found several 'secret' areas so far:

Spoiler: (click to show/hide)

up that one waterfall to the blank sign dialogue room;

(was that meant to be blank?)

Spoiler: (click to show/hide)

the undersea lab;

Spoiler: (click to show/hide)

and several secret rooms I'm pretty sure only opened up once I had the correct powerup:

Spoiler: (click to show/hide)

the spy/slacker at the lab; the runaway who asks for ice cream; the button room that seems to switch

Spoiler: (click to show/hide)

which walls are no-climb, among other changes -- without other powerups, though, I can't seem take advantage of the switch yet;

...and I'm thinking I found one other secret-passage-type area, but I can't recall which or where. Maybe not.

The level has moments of loveliness scattered like gems in a riverbed. Most of the time it's visually subdued rather than spectacular; but, for example, there's one drop sequence between a 'just for decoration' part of the screen and a save-point where I dropped & ctrl-R'd repeatedly just to enjoy the view. You'll know where I mean, and it is truly a treat.

By the way, are you just a fan of the Artix behind AdventureQuest / DragonFable / MechQuest, or are you the Artix?

I doubt this is the real Artix. He's WAY too busy running his company and thinking up new stuff for the various AdventureQuest spinoffs.

Quite. This level is riddled with secret areas.

I remember this level quite well from the previous forum.  A classic example of a Knytt stories "old school" level.  Ahh...yes. Back in the days when levels were flying out of their creators hands at 25, 50 or 100's per week. Back when knytt stories levels weren't all gobbledy gooked up with special shifts, animations or any of them other new fangled techniques. Ahh....yes indeed. Those were the days.  :crazy:

V2 released.
Purple pineapple will be happy that I added a hint for yellow key where the blank sign is.

And, my name isn't at all related to Artix of Adventure Quest fame.

It shouldn't overwrite your save file.

Just beat it. I enjoyed finding all those little secrets and random characters very much :) The challenges were nice,

Spoiler: (click to show/hide)

particularly the yellow and the blue key ones.

The layout was a tad bit confusing and I really wish there were more savepoints - not in the challenges, but you know, just around the place. It was frustrating to have to walk several screens to the nearest savepoint to make sure my progress isn't lost. And also,

Spoiler: (click to show/hide)

the ending was a bit too abrupt for my taste...  :oops:

Other than that, thanks for your work, this was one enjoyable level  :)

Well hidden. I never would've thought to look there.

Post by: theiza27 on February 21, 2010, 22:57:05

finished :) boy oh boy did that sign added in v2 really help w/ the yellow key! lolz i was looping around all over the place trying to find that thing... does anyone else ever realize how you never consider things into an equation when they can't be seen

Spoiler: (click to show/hide)

like when its on a different screen lolz

Spoiler: (click to show/hide)

in this case jumping from the tall dark monolith on one screen to the unclimbable monolith on the next screen

anywho... yes... good level... there are a few tile glitches... like missing grass... missing edges... yadda yadda... it is a level from the past so all the fancy glitter and fireworks are missing but you kno wut... i kind of like it like that... this level stands on its own with standard tiles and music... it could use a bit more story and, i suppose, environment... if u are gonna call it an environmental level lolz... only other thing i can say is i sort of felt rather dissatisfied w/the ending :(

Hey, could someone give me a hint as to where the blue key is in this one?  I feel like I've run through the entire world a number of times with all my abilities, but still can't find a clue to that one.  Thanks!

Have you been to the place where one of the Knytts asks if you can swim? In that general area only triangulate jump to the left after you make it down there.

Post by: Meraji on April 13, 2010, 02:17:25

Thanks, lamarblake!  I had seen that area, but for some reason had dismissed it early on as a possibility.  And so I got the blue key, and so the game ends.  I really enjoyed this level - glad I came across it!  But, yeah, I've got to agree with others who said the ending was rather abrupt.  Slightly dissatisfying in the end, great overrall.  :)

those little secrets are really funny.XD

this IS the puzzle game that i'm looking for.GJ.

I quite enjoyed this level, it was a nice way to spend an hour.

2 things though:

I found a void screen, I'll edit with a picture later, but here's where it is:

Spoiler: (click to show/hide)

After pressing the button and changing the world. Head to the far right and jump to the right from the pillar of semi-invisible blocks. There is the void screen.

Also

Spoiler: not a big thing really (click to show/hide)

It would have been nice to get some kind of indication that you can walk on darker clouds. Like somebody saying "I think I saw someone on the clouds.." or something. I spent the better part of an hour trying to find the umbrella as I just assumed that jump was impossible...

All in all, a nice level. It was great to explore the world.

Post by: Vegetal Gibber on April 30, 2010, 15:19:24

It is a nice fun level, although I don't think it qualifies as "Environmental". I'd say this is more like a Challenge/Puzzle level. But, like bulbapuck said, it's worth spending an hour or two on it. I like levels with lots of secrets and different areas to explore :)

I think I figured out what you mean, and I fixed it. I'll upload the fix if I find some more voids/wallswims. I don't feel like updating for one thing.
