Exploring [hard] [Challenge/Puzzle]

NEWS!!!: FINALLY!!! I managed to get the new version working without what stupid error message coming up, (took me a while to figure it out ) I've changed the link to the new one (not much is changed, just the voids and a wallswim. )


Here is my second level, it has quite a low file size but is pretty quite big, take my word for it . You can download it below, or listen to me for a while while I ramble on .

Anyway, I actually started this one before Pipe Line, and I've been working on it for ages. It's been great fun, but has also annoyed me immensely on many occasions. The end result is something like what I originally wanted though, so all's well that end's well as they say .

I won't give away to much about the level itself, but I will tell you that you have to double back a bit and that the, "exploring" element of it becomes pariculary obvious once you start looking for the keys.

I was also planning to make this MUCH longer, (almost twice as much) in the end I cut it back on a new level (I just copied over all the screens) to what I had planned in the first place. There's a chance I will add a version two of this when and if I complete it.

Whew, well that's enough from me, click the link below to download the level (it should take a fraction of a millisecond ) and enjoy (hopefully )

Version 2 had a problem, the same one that was stopping me from posting version 1.1, so it won't end up getting out... attached are some shots from what it would had looked like.

Wow that is a big one with such a small file. How does that work? Anyway, played your level. Loved it. Not too decorative but for this one it's the game play that really works for me. I enjoy the backtracking and Just challenging enough to make it interesting without being too crazy. Really good level man. It's a keeper.

Wow! I'm glad you loved it so much, I was a bit nervous with this one because I wasn't sure what people would think of all the searching for the keys...

But I do admit that the graphics are a bit dull in places, that was another worry for me...

Lol I have been waiting for this one...  Ill post up a review asap (prob next week)
U ROCK MAN_{Talk to u on monday lol}

*Downloading*

Heh, I was wondering whether I should send this to you lol.

You wouldn't believe how long it took me to copy everything over lol, all the warps (especially ghost hall) take forever to get right...

This really was a great level. Not too hard, but challenging enough in some places. I enjoy this type of exploring - not too annoying despite the backtracking, and not too many maze-like bits. I also enojyed that each area had a different kind of challenge (and that you didn't go overboard with lasers!)

My only complaints are the relatively dull scenery in some places (and lack of custom stuff, but that's no 'biggie', really), and the ending. I wanted SOME kind of reward...


Oh, and a couple of voids: one when you return from screen with the route for dark area, and another just up from the red key.

Good job! A classic-style level with good design and attention to details, consistency in the setting and fair challenge. You could say it's missing a bit of atmosphere and life, but the gameplay and length make up for it.

Wow that is a big one with such a small file. How does that work?

As long as you don't use custom tilesets and/or music, a level takes very little space: the map file of this level only makes up for half of the knytt.bin size.

I found a wallswim while wandering around, see below.

Great advice guys, I'll try to fix up the bugs and maybe add a little scenery at some point.

Yeah great level. I did got annoyed by the backtracking but bit through it.
Other than stated above, there was another wallswim, but I can't remember where.

So, nice job, just missing an ending .

Wow that is a big one with such a small file. How does that work?

No custom tilesets ftw.

This one is really well done, I liked it a lot.  The pacing was nice, and the level seemed to flow relatively well.

The only real problems I found were three times I was able to get into a void.

I've fixed up some bugs (forgot about a wallswim right after I submitted it ) and the like since I posted version 1, so I've updated it. YAY FOR BUMPS.

the new fixed version comes up as possible exploit. tried it twice

I'm not sure what's wrong with it, this is very confusing...

Oops, did something wrong, by bad.

OK, help. I do have the eye, and I'm at the ghost maze thing or whatever it's called, but how do I get through it? And if I'm not supposed to, where am I supposed to go?
