[Playground/Misc./Medium] [Easy] last of the salad days

Made for Knytt Swapsies. Started by hugs and finished by Fubaka.

I shan't explain this.

Things to remember when writing figures of speech and sound:
The power of poetry comes from the ability to defy logic. Defy logic often.

Use a metaphor and tell us that your lover is the sky. Tell us that your lover is the sky. When you do that, we won't believe you. We won't believe you because saying so makes no sense, but we'll see a meaning. We'll see a meaning.

The other thing is the ability to be remembered. Love anything.

I enjoyed this more than I expected to. Everything felt empty, weird or out of place and the level also maneged to be a little bit creepy (which I liked). The music was very climatic.

Weird level! That's a good thing.  :)

Like one part David Firth, one part David Lynch, one part Terry Gilliam.

Anyways I did enjoy and will likely play this again.

Loved the textures! New people can have such interesting ideas. What exactly was your contribution Fubaka? Everything was so consistent, I couldn't tell it was made by two designers.

I did very little in contribution to the tileset itself. Mainly, I built most of the caves and areas, staying consistent to what was there already. The laser towers were also my doing, to replace an older more artificial means of preventing the player from gliding off into oblivion.

If you are curious, the unaltered first half is available on Glorious Trainwrecks for you to look at.

This was a really interesting level. I got a similar feeling to ixMarcel. Still, was a solid level. Good work hugs and Fubbles.

Absolutely loved the tilesets and the things the NPCs said. Probably my two favorite things about the level, honestly. You two did a great job!

I really liked the art in this level, it was fun to mess around in for a while.
