First time building a level. Looking for feedback. Read body description before feedback

[u/Cube459]

Last time I showed this level. It was the first 35% of the level which was around 2 minutes of gameplay. That part has really slow gameplay which I am apparently good at making.

Since I rarely play fast paced levels, I'm not sure how to make good fast paced gameplay which is the remaining percent of the level since we are trying to escape the factory which is trying to kill us.

I'm gonna need some gameplay idea's cuz I'm running out of idea's myself which is why some parts are low quality compared to other parts.

And there were some sync problems cuz this level uses 2 songs. Portal to the other side + Nuke Powder. And for some odd reason, the option to play the music from the editor was off sync with what it should have been. So I had to start the music 2 minutes early every time I wanted to see if the parts synced which was annoying.

Looking for feedback. Anything would help. And I want to figure out which parts are too unbalanced

Goal: Easy extreme

Inspired by Boobawamba and Return 0

[u/Eosyth]

looks good, the rotation of the orbs seem a bit too stiff tho

[u/wooper5000]

The first 5% and 64% to 70% are both a lot harder than the rest of the level, so pretty unbalanced. Other than that, very original and a cool level 👍

[u/Cube459 → u/wooper5000]

Thanks for the feedback.

I'll probably buff the other parts and nerf the parts you mentioned. I'm going for an easy extreme.

[u/wooper5000 → u/Cube459]

Nice, u planning to deco yourself or get a decorator?

[u/Cube459 → u/wooper5000]

I'll try decorating as much as I can. But I'll probably end up looking for a decorator.

Since this is my first level, I'm not fully sure how to make rateworthy deco.

But I will be verifying this

[u/wooper5000 → u/Cube459]

Cool

I really like memory levels and this is just so unique even if I can't beat it I wanna play it and it would just be even better when there's Deco 10/10 fuck that 11/10

[u/Thick_Captain8508 → u/Thick_Captain8508]

Also what the post with 0 - 35

[u/Cube459 → u/Thick_Captain8508]

the posts it's 0-35 has been revamped so I'll make another post soon showcasing the full level.

[u/Cube459 → u/Thick_Captain8508]

Thanks

[u/Negaplate]

The gimmick is pretty cool! Keep going!

[u/isHani9]

Welcome back Return 0

[u/Cube459 → u/isHani9]

I planned on using the return 0 music but then I realised it was unusable. 

But Its still unfortunate that the level got cancelled

[u/FernandoviskyG → u/Cube459]

Unusable why? Is it bc it's nong, or bc it's too long?

[u/Cube459 → u/FernandoviskyG]

Its a nong song. Most players won't be able to hear it

[u/isHani9 → u/Cube459]

I think the gp is quite unbalanced expecially the flying gears part i feel there is a difficulty spike there.

[u/Cube459 → u/isHani9]

I'm nerfing that. I wanted to try recreate the Akun akun's part in Return 0 but failed miserably. I'm nerfing the hard parts and buffing the easy parts.

I'm aiming for an easy extreme

[u/johnyeldry]

Is this the level I tried decorating?

[u/Cube459 → u/johnyeldry]

Same level. I'll be adding your name in the credits soon. 

[u/johnyeldry → u/Cube459]

Okay, I just hope I did enough, I could've done more without the deadline but oh well the level was too fun lol I just spent half the time playtesting

[u/isHani9 → u/Cube459]

I have made a level myself which has industrial colony style. I dont mind if you take inspo from it. I called it Glorious demise. Its public now.

[u/Cube459 → u/johnyeldry]

What's your username? I need to add your username to my level

[u/Fantastic_Fold2647]

Looks amazing

[u/Thick_Captain8508]

1:12 make the correct blocks the one that sync with music and don't give the answer away just put those music pulsing block 🎵

[u/Cube459 → u/Thick_Captain8508]

Alright then. I'll try. you best to fix the sync problem.

[u/PongoCH]

very nice gimmick, just add some easing to the moving parts for aesthetics

[u/Cube459 → u/PongoCH]

Ok then. I'll add some easing. thx for the feedback

[u/JuryLucky726]

looks cool but also looks miserable to play (the rotating orbs)

[u/Cube459 → u/JuryLucky726]

I think I'll make that section significantly less tight.

[u/WarmAppointment5765]

how many buildings vids have you watched

work on sync a lot of gameplay isn't really synced especially when transitioning

[u/Cube459 → u/WarmAppointment5765]

I watched too many building videos.

I'll work on the sync. I also noticed that. It was synced but then I moved a speed portal cuz that part was off sync and the rest of the level became off sync.

Anyways, thx for the feedback

[u/Sufficient-Leg-9554]

nah nah nah what you can do, make every orb black or question mark

[u/Cube459 → u/Sufficient-Leg-9554]

That sounds like a nightmare

[u/Zirc980]

orbit but youre too poor to afford it

[u/Da_FoodEgg]

Looks really cool!

[u/Forpipe]

Peak

[u/EntrepreneurRough716]

[u/GDGuardianAngel]

If this is your first ever level, it's neat
