Title: New to level creation.
Post by: Dehodson on April 30, 2010, 12:14:17 AM
So can you tell me if my first level is any good? I'd say it would fit well under 'Taxing'. Comments? Criticisms? Tips for a good level?

I like the minimalistic design (just 8 pieces - wow :o) and the variety of crowd control methods available. Taxing seems about right for this one.

I can see some potential to make a better level out of this in a number of ways, by varying the skillset or adding obstacles so you can't just build straight to the exit. Building a long bridge just for the sake of it isn't that... creative.

Thanks.

CAN you build straight to the exit from the entrance? I thought the ceiling was too low to do that.

Not straight from the entrance. The thing is, it takes a minute to reach the exit once you start building. Somewhat of an anti-climax after the rush to keep the lemmings in at the start. (Which, by the way, becomes a lot tougher if you shift the terrain 2 pixels to the left ;))

Here's my solution (100%). I have an image and a Lemmix replay (if you are using Lemmix)

I like the design, yes. I don't mind the build all too much because of fast forward.
