[Environmental][Small] Darkness
« on: July 18, 2009, 12:22:49 »
That's right, I made another level already! :D Darkness is a small level which is Environmental, but be warned there are a couple tricky jumps in it. It also has endings. Two, to be precise. The story is never explained; I personally have no idea what the heck's going on. What the endings mean is up to you.

A word of warning: this game features an anti-cheating security system. I'm not even kidding. Just you try. :shifty:

Also, some of the images in the screenshots may seem hard to see, but trust me when I say they are clearer when you play the level, especially if you play it in full screen.

EDIT: Fixed a void screen.
EDIT 2: Fixed a game-breaking bug.

Nice! Reminds me of the dark place in Outer Reaches, which was one of the prettiest parts! Downloading now...

Y'know what, if it's not too difficult I won't *have* to cheat! ;-)

As for making hard levels cheat-proof: have some pity with the crap players, folks! There are some hard levels I want to play because they're pretty; if they're cheat-proof, I'm effectively prevented from playing them, because it's not a matter of laziness with me: I really can't manage some challenges! (This off-topic announcement brought to you by the League of Crap Players. ;-))

Right; started playing, didn't finish yet because I don't have the time right now, but

and I must say, I think this level is even better, aesthetically, than Outer Reaches! The different 'looks' you've found for the different areas are all equally pretty, and despite the differences it has a very 'unified' feel so far. Very, very nice. Some nice music choices, as well (but I also really liked some of the music in Outer Reaches. I may have to check out those artists, as I still have no idea where to find music for my own level...)

Very nice looking. I would get both endings, but I can't find the yellow key. I've even been searching through the editor for it. >_<


EDIT: I hate you now. >_<
EDIT 2: That "CHEATER!" Thing is getting really old now, you could easily give someone a heart attack with that.

I'm glad you "like" the anti-cheating system. It was specifically designed to do that :shifty:. Surprise people, that is, not give them heart attacks. O_o

Yes, it looks like you got the hang of it now. I love the cheating protection!!! XD (I had to look in the editor to find it...)

Beat it the normal way. I was a little paranoid in the black area, and kept my speakers off just in case. XD

No matter how hard I cheat, I can't find the cheating protection. Is it supposed to protect the keys or something?

Oh yeah, void:

The cheating protection is in an area which you need the keys to go to (I won't tell you where to find it). It keeps you from getting to the end if you haven't completed the game and/or don't have all the keys, and thus would have had to cheat to get in.

EDIT: Thanks for pointing out that void screen. Fixing and re-uploading.

Heeeeeeeeeeh! I actually beat this thing! Entirely without cheating! And with only about twenty minutes or so of frustrating repeated failure! (ETA: Apparently I've found an innovative new way to do that jump.  :whoa:)

Okay. So, first things first: lovely level, definitely a keeper, and I'll certainly replay it, now that I know how to do that jump.

But: not an easy level, seriously. Normal, I think, but not easy.

I'm intentionally cheating just to test the anti-cheat measure (editing the save file so I manually get all four keys)... with the sound OFF, thank you. I'll let you know if I find anything.

Naw, turn the sound ON...you'll be missing out on the best part of the anti-cheating system. Heh heh heh... :shifty:
