What sort of elements do you like to see in a platforming le

I'm all ears.

First off, thanks to Ghados for sparking conversation for new members to work off of.

In a platforming level, I link to see some action like a challenge or some kind of cool thing that makes it interesting. You know something like while you are swinging across a gas pit the thing you are swinging on breaks and then you start falling, but some rocks fall and you land on them. That kind of stuff.

Also, as a Reviewer, I like to see changes in mood and music (which helps with mood) and like to see a variance in materials that fit the area and the mood of the level if possible. I also like to see detail, especially in platforers cuz I like them to be interesting and fun to look at.

Going with the first thing I said, I really think well worked out and new gameplay ideas are a necessity to a platforming level, especially if it is to become a hit. Gameplay makes a level interesting and fun because the player isn't used to it.

Ummm, sorry for that rant... I really like platforming levels

I like a challenging level but not to hard so everyone can complete it. Its good if you choose a theme and then find materails that go with that theme and by theme I kinda mean like backround. Good and varying music during the level is great. Lots and lots of sound effects. I love sound effects it makes a level a little greater. Also surprises. Like your walking on a platform and all of a sudden a big spiky wall is comng at you so you have to turn around. Then there is another way to go. You could also have little mini-games.

I think it is very important to create your own things. Like 25% MM objects and 75% your creations.

Go platforming levels.

When I play a level I like to see good pacing what I mean is no dead spots where nothing is happening . Also I don't like weak transitions from one element of the level to another.

Nice to finally have you Ryuk!

Yeah, sorry finals and what not make it hard to continually Stay on

It's okay!

Oh yeah, put lots of bombs. Everyone loves bombs in a level.

I love bombs. Especially when you have to do things to avoid them cuz it adds a sense of urgency/suspense to the level.

Yeah I love the bomb survival levels. There used to be to many though. But I have hearted at least 7.
