Escape Fail Isle!

Ok here's my second map on my saved level, the sequel to get to 'Get to Pro Island'- 'Escape Fail Isle'.
The level is a mix of artsyness and minigames(the two working together, of course) for a somewhat original level.

beta link regular link
edit: btw some of it is kinda hard so be warned? yeah

EDIT EDIT: the level is down now cuz im not in the room so non beta players cant play. I'll bump the topic in the morning when I revive the level

Re: Escape Fail Isle!

I really liked the design of the map, and a lot of puzzles (especially the "we got eaten" tier) were original and fun.

Bad things: (or constructive criticism)

* Hook jumps as penalty for falling is not very fun. I want to be annoyed with the problem at hand, not with having to get back to give it another go.
* Game over trap with a 1-space hook jump in the purple tier. Ouch! Is this intentional?

Re: Escape Fail Isle!

Why this?

It also seems that you have to repeat the whole purple section in case of a mistake. That's not fair.

Yeah, that was the trap I mentioned. It just seems out of place.

Re: Escape Fail Isle!

oh jeeze I thought I fixed that.
I'll repair it now.

Re: Escape Fail Isle!

Ok I fixed that and removed the hook jump penalties.

I'm leaving the purple reset thing because otherwise the last puzzle is way too easy. It's pretty easy on it's own imo.

Re: Escape Fail Isle!

Maybe you should fix the first stage, a lot of newbies is stuck there.
And a lot of ragequits too.

Re: Escape Fail Isle!

theres really not much to fix unless you mean make it easy.
I made a light change to make it easier but I'm not gonna do some complete change just cuz some people just suck too much haha

Re: Escape Fail Isle!

i would really prefer a very hard last challenge instead of repeating the purple section a few times. this is only annoying and no fun.

Re: Escape Fail Isle!

I had run out of ideas, sorry. D:
If you're careful you can beat the last purple one pretty easily, then theres the race which can be a pretty hard race if there was actually any people down there.

Re: Escape Fail Isle!

Ok, I changed the final level to be really challenging, and no reset.

I tested it so it works, too.
No I have to get rid of the hacker **** who's activating the blue key that isn't there

Completed it now, everything seems to be in order. The last challenge felt a bit random though, I completed it by just fiddling around in all directions with no real strategy.

Re: Escape Fail Isle!

hm...its fixed now. but 2 hours ago, there was no way, to go down, under that island in the far left.

Re: Escape Fail Isle!

Ah, yes. sorry about that, I had to save some people from the glitch that happened when some hacker triggered the blue key(which isn't in my level-ugh).
Anyway the level's traffic has died down today, but I'll be reviving it tomorrow as I begin the next level in my saved room.

Re: Escape Fail Isle!

WTF is that first obstacle ? I saw the nice level design and thought it was a good level but is it not ?

That dot line at the very beginning has no point. No fun at all.

In the T of "it" in the sea, hook jumps ? :O

Far too much fake difficulty in your level.

Re: Escape Fail Isle!

the hook jumps are to make it navigable while still keeping the design
My previous maps got complaint of being too easy, so I tried to make it rather challenging, which I've been reassured many times it is.

Re: Escape Fail Isle!

It is not challenging, it's annoying. Try being creative, please.

You must be horrible at it.

It's not challenging or annoying, it's too easy.

Make the next one harder please.
