Title: [Small][Easy][Misc] Badly Built Level by Headgrinder - for humor comp
Post by: Headgrinder on June 12, 2010, 14:21:07
Bask in the...

cheese ball, tried-to-hard-to-be-funny, standard rules of game making breaking... etc.

Yeah, this is for the humor comp.  It's kind of like the Daffy Duck cartoon where Bugs is drawing the cartoon.  Perhaps I'm underselling my self.  I think it's funny, but I have an odd since of humor.   :crazy:

Very cute! I liked the beginning most of all, strangely. But the rest was good too.

Also, I cried a little when Juni mentioned the "Underwater Lab" tileset as the most overused in history, because that's what I used in Pestilence , and I didn't realize it had that effect  :sigh:

@lamarblake: glad it had that effect man!  :)

@yohji: honestly, I just heard someone somewhere say that on the forums and went with it.  I haven't actually played enough levels to know if it is true or not.  :)

IMO the most overused tileset is tileset 6 simply because it shows up in every single noob level ever made. Er.. at least, I think.

Tileset 6 is Not Quite Dr. Cliche's Underwater Lab. It's the set you start with when you create a new level, no wonder it's used so much.

Back on topic, I never thought such a badly built level could be so enjoyable. Clever and funny.

I forgot to comment on this when I reviewed the level on the competition thread, but I agree with yohji. The first part was funny as hell. The intro screen cracked me up XD The rest is also very good, of course, and the ending was great.

I'm curious, what about the beginning was funny?  Or how far in are you considering the beginning?

No, you don't have to go through that screen. Just jump up when you land on that small ledge and you'll be shifted to a different screen.

Well, this was great! I like the little storyline there!

My only complaint is about the enemy room. The first five times when I died from that room, I went back to the beginning. I made that first jump perfectly the first five times, but after that I just kept on dieing, repeating over and over again. It was really frustrating going back to the beginning, but that was kind of the point, wasn't it? Helped make your point, I guess. Still, great level!

Great level! Pretty hard and abit annoying when you jump wrong, but still really fun. C)
Hey, can you tell me wether this tileset works well with tileset 19?
(The green chompy thing is going to be a custom object in my new level.)
Title: Re: [Small][Easy][Misc] Badly Built Level by Headgrinder - for humor comp
Post by: Headgrinder on July 15, 2010, 14:06:19
Hey, I like that.  You'd probably get a lot lot more responses if you would make your own thread to discuss this in though.  Try the Development Showcase.

I think it will work with tileset 19, and it is a great idea for a tree house.  I would only suggest you figure out how to make it modular.  In other words, make it so you have more options, like a larger tree with one big room, etc.  Also, it seems the "walls" are too close together for Juni to effectively navigate through.  I think it would be a head ache getting through them.

I just played this on KSDS (thanks to Purple Pineapple, he is amazing, bow before him, peasants) and I must say it's hilarious. :D Love the ending.

Don't ask how i got there.

I also liked that pun you used in the screen before the one with all the enemies.

If this is an environmental, i think you've polluted it.

Post by: Headgrinder on July 30, 2010, 13:14:38
Oh I won't ask.  :)

Also, there are two screens I would consider secret in the level, although the one your describing is by far the hardest.  The other is super easy, you just have to go back.

Do you mean the screen where Juni says
Quote from: Juni, talking about Headgrinder's design skills
Oh look, a loop. What more does this "Fat Mexican secretary" have up his sleave? Neurons? One can only hope.
And if not, then what is the screen where you go back?

Edit: Yup. I'm sure you mean the screen where Juni says that. No other secret screen to be found.

Ha!  I forgot what I wrote there, but yeah that is it.

I'll fess up and say some of the more off color comments in this level I found on a web site dedicated to off color comments made by politicians.  Tells you a lot.

How in the heck are you supposed to get past that screen with all the enemies?! And I don't mean jump back up, I mean jump down and navigate through spikes and spores to get to the screen on the left? That's just outrageous.
