[Large / Hard / Challenge / Puzzle / Maze] Who kidnaps the Knytts

There are also 8 endings. If you got not the worst ending from the first attempt, please write it here.

Not sure if it's different for any of you, but I cannot outrun the rising lava after escaping the prison compound. I simply cannot move fast enough.

x1010y990, You can use the Hologram to get over the wall.

I made a hack that disables lava rising. Press a button, see the screenshot.

TIL spikes can be avoided by hologram. Made a custom object.

The way you hid the codes for the combination door was well done. The super secret room with the lady giving hints was reasonable. But those keys are insane! I had already scoured the open world several times looking for combination codes, so I was surprised to hear I missed all of the keys. After thoroughly searching Tick-tock City again I opened the editor to look. I found the purple and the red keys in the editor, and both locations are just cruel. There's no way I'd have ever found them honestly, and it's a shame because you must have put a lot of work into these other 7 endings I haven't seen. I think you should give us the Detector power and put green indicators on the entrances to these hiding places.

I considered about giving detector after the end of the game, but than I thought that it would be very easy to find keys.
And, red key is hard to find, really? I thought it was obvious to go there

So your fixed version did help me reach the "worst" ending. Or what I assume is the worst ending.  :)

I will echo what egomassive said... I had to cheat to find the keys.

Now I am having trouble solving the boiler puzzle without EVER emptying boiler 2 down to 0. Are you sure its possible??

EDIT:

Nevermind, it is possible! BUT YOU CANNOT MAKE A SINGLE WRONG MOVE or you will get into a state from which it is impossible to recover! That was my problem. You might consider disabling the saves between "pours" so that the user can always "recover" via ctrl-r.

EDIT to the regional EDIT:

Ah yes, you can CTRL-R to reset it. Sorry about that!

Wait, really? I think it is possible to recover with ctrl+r, there should be no save points in between.

Sorry, it wasn't the red key, it was the blue one. Even after seeing it in the editor the other day it took me over 30 minutes of running around the underground to find it. The underground is so confusing. As a maze it is quite good. I wonder if it's even possible to draw a 2D map of it that would be of any use.

And it took me two nights to figure out the Boiler problem. But I've uploaded my, errr, spreadsheet to get me the solution and most available states, if anyone is interested.  :nuts:

So let's start with the bad:

• The challenges had a VERY steep curve in the "good ending" end bit. Most of the level was maybe "Normal" or "Hard," maybe a couple "Very Hard" screens... but the entire "good ending" had many pixel-perfect jumps, including one where you had to exploit an enemy's glitch. (x1008,y953). Not saying this is unacceptable, it was just a little too difficult for my taste. (I am proud to say I did beat these parts without cheating!)  :D
• While I loved most of your environments in a quirky way, I also felt they were... two-dimesnional? Maybe it was your lack of backgrounds? I'm not sure, but while I did enjoy Clock City and Tree City, they also felt very "flat" to me. Maybe that's part of its charm. If that was intentional, then kudos, if not, then maybe take a look at that in the future.  :shifty:
• While I loved playing your level, your grammar needs work and I think was responsible for making it feel a little... unprofessional to me. I think if it had good grammar, it would've been a solid "A" instead of what feels like an "A minus"  :S
• As I said, I cheated to find the keys. :sigh:
• The music was a little too loud in some areas.

And the good:

• This level clearly took a ton of work!  :whoa: Clearly more work than I've seen in most KS, you've definitely put a TON of effort into this! Great job getting it out there!  You get a :hiddenstar:
• Environments were excellent! I especially liked Clock City, Tree City, the caves, the far east, the far west, the lab... I guess most of it. :)
• I was actually impressed by the story! I liked the "twists," all of them! I honestly wasn't expecting them!  :^^:
• I loved the King's answer to the kidnappings:
  Spoiler: (click to show/hide)

  
• The difficulty, for the most part, was spot on. I was able to reach an ending without trying too hard. The puzzles to this ending were fair.
• Speaking of puzzles, very innovative puzzles! Very impressive, especially with the pouring puzzles and the ending chess puzzle!
• Music always fit the mood.
• As I said above, Powerups are well spaced, I found no wallswims or voids, and you definitely had great use of save points.
• I like that you've got different endings for each contingency.
• I really like that you've got the ability to restart each time where the choices start to matter... no need to run through the first 3/4 of the level every time for a new ending!  C)p

I encourage you to make more levels for us to play! And ask for help (even from us!) with things like the grammar if you need to!

including one where you had to exploit an enemy's glitch. (x1008,y953)

I'm not sure what glitch you mean. What I was expecting is to jump from the right side with the umbrella, float close enough to those enemies, fall to the screen below, float left, double-jump, and you are behind the enemies.

While I loved most of your environments in a quirky way, I also felt they were... two-dimesnional? Maybe it was your lack of backgrounds?

That was not intentional 
Actually, making decorations was my least favorite part

While I loved playing your level, your grammar needs work

Sorry, English is not my native

I encourage you to make more levels for us to play!

We'll see Right now I don't plan it, and don't have any ideas.
