What do you think of it?

thedudeguy

I really like Frostbite ALOT more that claustrophobia... probably because I absolutely hate claustrophobia, no offence to cody...

PMD

Frostbite has potential, but... (you knew there had to be a but didn't you Xuzz?)

The ice is kind of a pain if you don't jump it (and you have to jump just right). Don't make a lucky jump a requirement.

Also, in my opinion, there should never be a spot on a level where you get stuck and can't get out without going back and forth working it for a while. For a novice player, they should be able to go just forward and get past whatever obstacle that is holding them up. It obviously wouldn't be fast, but at least it wouldn't be frustrating. There are parts on the ice where you have to know how to work it to get free. Unnecessary.

Another example of this is the big bump in Ice Cave on the way in. A novice player is going to have a hard time even getting past that. It is unnecessarily difficult. You can still have the same effect and make it fun for the novice (not frustrating) while still requiring the same technique for the more advanced player.

Other than that, I like Frostbite much more than claustrophobia. Parts of the level remind me of Neoslope.

PS. The start is a little awkward though.

mike flips

Id have to agree with PMD 100%

If included it would be my least favourite of the pack by far. I was about to write a post about it but PMD beat me to it and took the words right out of my mouth. I really hate the ice part and the beginning, I can live with but it is too hard for any beginner.

Plus there is the issue at the ending. It is possible to do the whole ending drop as a free fall similar to the drop in The Well and the drop in Pick 5. However, this would be 99.999% luck to accomplish and would ruin the competition for the level.

Sorry for the harsh review

Shane

Thanks for those replays Xuzz.

'Haunted' - You've changed my mind - nice run

'The Climb' - that�s pretty much how I played it.
Climbing the tube quickly is a challenge and I like that bit - just seems harsh after making it you get rewarded with a fiddly, upside-down tippy-toe to the finish.

Mr. Pickle, I understand you don't want this messed with but, in my opinion, it would be more fun with some speed at the top. Anyway, maybe its just me and you've spent the time on it, so shoot this down if you like.

Xuzz

Realize that Champ, not me, made this level

.

Mike: So as you agree with PMD but think it is your least favorite in the pack -- Claustrophobia is even worse?

I agree with all your comments

, anyone want to take the job of fixing it up?

Ibanez

Why not dump the 4 worst levels by vote and have a 10 level pack?

Laser

I don't know what everyone's problem is with claustrophobia (besides the name, of course) It's a well constructed smooth level that can be beaten by any player. Modify a bit if you can really pinpoint what you don't like, but it's definitely a good concept.

Ibanez

I like most of them, including claustrophobia, I guess my least liked would be "The Climb" and "Where Am I"...

BikerBrian

Snakebite is pretty cool, but it is definitely annoying in places (beginning and ice). I have accomplished great runs in the first half so far, but haven't mastered the ending yet.

My current best is 51,36. Has anyone beat it faster yet?

Mr.pickle.

The origenal climb level was harder on the climb,and that was it...there was no top section, so then I added that bit in, becuase everyone said it needed more.

It actually isent a slow top part if you play it right, I can finish the level in 45 seconds(my fastest was 44,36 actually)..So its just a matter of learning how to play the top part and it can be extremly fast.

Also the ending is being changed to make it more of a challenge, yet not based on luck.

Ibanez, I would actually prefer to have a 25 level pack put in,I think we need more levels

I think we should just leave it as it is...And this actually has nothing to do with the fact that my level would likely be voted out, I honestly think that we should just leave in all these levels. It seems to me on many levels we are all split down the middle...half of us love it and some of the others hate it..artistic and ice cave I would say are both crappy hof levels, but the rest of you seem to think they are ok..
thats simply an example of course but..

BikerBrian

I meant Frostbite earlier instead of Snakebite. Either way, I just got 48 secs on it. I understand that Champ is editing it to make the beginning and the ice easier. Here is my best recording of it before it is changed:

Mr.pickle.

nicely done

Champ

http://fusionware.our project.org/itech/bik eordie/mygames/uploads/1232138031.swf

The new version of Frostbite - Ice and beginning have been edited. The rest of the level was tweaked maybe a little. =D Xuzz will upload it later/soon. It's a lot easier than it was for iPhone players/ a novice perspective.

Mr.pickle.

well champ, even after taking a break from the game,it looks like you could still pwn if you wanted too...dang..18 seconds faster tha brians

bones

@pickle you say 45 seconds on the climb..were does that sound familiar from??? hmmmmmmmmm
