Wow, at first, I gotta say, I was kinda hesitant about downloading this level, but, for a first level, this is pretty good!

Spoiler: (click to show/hide)

The dialogue had a few typos and the story was a bit emotionless when it felt it should have had some emotion, but the tilesets were nicely picked, the level, save for a few SGEs, or "small graphical errors", like having a ground tile placed where there's no black border around it because you wanted a one tile wide platform but the tileset doesn't have that.
There was also a part where, after the meteor, some corner pipes weren't connected to anything. I assume this was to simulate the pipes being broken, but when they're cut off perfectly like that, it kind of looks funny. :/
Other than that, it was a beautiful level! I love the gradient you used and the way you flowed from the canyon tileset to the forest tileset. The clouds were nice, too! I wouldn't have thought they would work out that well. :P

Seriously, gaiz, download this. You will not be dissapoint.

I played it, tons of potential but it's pretty short right?  Got the two power ups you mentioned and also was able to get the red key on my first attempt.  Definitely a demo with a cool storyline that i'd love to explore more.

Am I missing something?  Is there more to this level or is it just a demo???  Keep going regardless!

Good work so far. Nice to see use of my tileset! As Pumpkinbot said, you have a lot of small graphical errors, but I'm sure you can deal with those over time.

Is there really enough to justify this rule? I don't think it should be enforced and would like to hear how people feel about this suggestion.

Lets not stray this off-topic by questioning a staff decision. If you want to bring this up, please start a new topic in the about Nifflas forum section, and link to this topic.

I agree. I'd prefer to make this level to the best of my ability, and not squander over rules. My apologies for posting in the wrong place.

Yes, this is a playable demo (That is why I posted it in the preview section) I threw together in about 8 hours. I plan on using all keys twice, (Meaning I will give them to you and remove them later to re find again) all powerups will be used as well. Among other things. The game will be considerably long  (I'm aiming for at least 2+ Hours of gameplay).

The gradients with the sun on the top right side. I actually used the gradient tool in gimp to make. Feel free to use them with or w/o credit to me as the tool made them not me.

I'm no story teller any tips would be nice.

I'm not sure who made the music, but whoever you are if you want credit let me know.


And thank you sergiocornaga for allowing the use of it..

Also, How is the difficulty? too hard? too easy?

Thanks for all the replys.

Perhaps the topic was moved due to its title. Previews subforum is currently used for posting any unfinished levels, playable or not. I bet 'playable' should be read as 'unfinished' in the rule.
