OlieGamerTV · Postby **OlieGamerTV** » Sun Dec 17, 2017 2:00 pm

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to My First level, Cloud Cannons!

I made it purely out of fun, and to test my construction skills (and my graphics skills too)

It may not be as impressive as some other Levels, but its my first level, so hey, gotta start somewhere right?

This Level uses h2643's Pipe Cannon Lua Script. so i thank him for making it, or i could never make this

EDIT 1: Added a Download link so people can try out my level, have fun!

EDIT 2: Added a brand New Airship Section. Enjoy!

Seems like you have a bug or something, but oh well. Looks good graphically btw.

It looks like you forgot to place warps at the top of section 1 to get to section 2

actually, i had to make it a pipe warp to make you get fired into Section 2, just hold Up when you launch out of the Cannon in Section 1

oh, also, does anyone know why there are more options when you right click on liquid? like Custom and gravitational Liquid, there are even touch events! why is all this awesome stuff grayed out?!?!

THERE IS EVEN A OPTION FOR A MOUSE CLICK EVENT! WHY IS ALL THIS STUFF NOT ALLOWED TO BE USED?!?!

The liquid and other stuff isn't implemented. PGE is just fooling you. Also, making it a pipe warp is a bad design choice because there's no indication you have to hold up.

It's not fooling you; that's why they're grayed out. They're usually either future features or features that or only accessible using PGE's special file format. Also OlieGamerTV it doesn't make sense to have a pipe warp at the top of the section; try using an instant warp instead which will make more sense

i tried, i could make the warp spawn you on top of the cloud. as the Instant warp wont work with the script (pipe cannon)
EDIT: i edited the warp to be instant, and moved the exit to on top of the cloud, i updated the download link (it should work)

the level is troll or something similar. But neh you are good with sprites you could put something more to the background to decorate your level

.
but the intention is good. For your next level it improves the graphic aspects and the gameplay.

How do you make it more hidden? It already looks like a solid block. And when you take it you skip like half of the level. Also there's a spot at the beginning of the third section where the player is almost guaranteed to take a hit because of unfair enemy placement

To be fair, the coin isn't THAT hard to find and collect, so your not really missing much with finding it, plus, i will agree with the enemy placement, half the time, i end up getting hit when playing, i will move some now

If the coin has very little weight in the level and you're fine with the player taking an unusual shortcut, why include the coin at all? Also it's weird that all you have to do is find a random invisible block, which I'd suggest is just not a great design choice

how about a hidden switch, that unlocks the shortcut, instead of being able to take it whenever you want.

why have the shortcut at all
it doesn't seem like it makes very much sense

Development exits are terrible and really say something about the creator, refrain from adding development exits/shortcuts. Some shortcuts are ok, but this one is just silly and clearly shows you aren't skilled enough to beat a portion of your own level.

I think that's a pretty disrespectful assumption towards the creator of the level

Yeah, it's kind of disrespectful I guess but still...
