Title: [Challenge] [Normal] A Hidden Esper Channel
Post by: Dataflashsabot on May 09, 2009, 21:34:39

Level design, most tilesets and music by me. Beta testing by Invader Dib.

It's quite short and I don't want to spoil it, so no screenies.

Enjoy.

Just finished it. Not bad, although a bit bland (I'm assuming that was intended)

The spike stairs were incredibly difficult.

This was quite fun while it lasted, but the graphics were too empty for my tastes. Also, it ended a bit too suddenly.

Eh... it was missing something.

Thanks for the comments! As, it seems, with all of my levels, this was originally going to be much longer, but it got scaled back; I'd rather release a short and concise level than something long and rambling. My next level will definitely be larger methinks. As for the graphics: Yeah, I admit they're quite bland. I'm not very good at tilesets, especially organic stuff, so I make my levels intentionally indoors and mostly metallic. Again, I'll try to overcome this for my next level.

The stairs: I found them quite easy; several people report finding them very hard. I'm not really sure what to do about this... I'll probably make them somewhat easier if I release a second version, but I won't make a second version for that alone.

Thanks for the feedback :)

I actually found them quite easy. Perhaps it's because I did an almost identical thing in my first (unfinished) level (see my signature). I don't think you should change it, personally. Once you've got the hang of it, they're not so bad at all.

epic win. 8D
stairs kinda caught me off guard at first, then they were not hard at all.

I don't get it.
There's only one ending?

Also I found a void/wallswim if you climb the walls up after...

...getting the two keys and going into the door where you find out the second keyword or whatever is SNIPER.

Not to bad, a little on the short side, but then again I can't really talk with most of my levels being somewhat similar in that respect. X)

I thought the tileset was pretty neat, and I thought the music fit the level very well, and you made me feel sad when the level ended. :sad:
