TANGLEDLION'S PROFILE

author=LockeZ
If any of you are looking for something to do, two days would be a perfect amount of time to learn the basics of how to use SMBX and submit a level for the Zelda event that's going on right now.

Today I finished kakariko villige , I'll have mo' details later...

k, So i Platested Some Levels And took Notes But here is my methodology:
"-" Indicates a negative Experience
"+" Indicates a Positive Experience
No Symbol Is my conclusion

So Here We Go!

Blood Temple:


Cliffside run:


Dark Woods:


Death Mountian Asent:


Deku Palace:


Fire Temple:


Forest trail:
No Prob,Just like you say, good first Forrest level!

Green Fields:


Hidden Oasis:


Royal Tomb:


Zora River:


So Yeah, ALSO! I AM making Kakariko Village, It connects to D-Mount And the Graveyard!

K, Shadow temple 2 Is here! Sry i took so long, But My Internet Was down, Anyway, Now to take care of business.

First UP Ratty:

- Set that npc in the red shirt to "don't move" so that the player
at least gets a chance to talk to him before he disappears off screen.

Shmuck in the red Shirt Stays Put!

- Can you NOT put enemies inside of pots and bushes? It's bad design, especially since players will already associate those bushes/pots with goodies. It punishes exploration and only makes your level artificially difficult.

Hidden Foes Removed

- What is with everyone's fascination with black keese, here?

Just trying to mach LockeZ's Tomb

- Eh, the custom pots are okay. They at least break like real pots, but I don't really like the yoshi egg mechanics that go with them. I'd rather stick to bushes imo.

Well, lets hammer that out later if we get enough complaints

- We really don't need anymore text after the npc at the beginning
of the level, especially since the dialog is so cheesy and it does nothing
but interrupt the flow of the gameplay.

Replaced With SFX

- This level is WAY too cluttered with enemies and demonstrates no thought about their placement. Everything looks thrown together and the player has no room to breath. When if the player loses the sword beam/hammer power-up? Clearing that massive line of foes would be MUCH harder, especially since the roster consists of annoying bats, immortal skeeltons, skulltula thwomps and unpredictable bots!

More Logical Placement.

- Did you even playtest this? The first boss I come across reveals himself for a second then completely disappears, putting the level at an unwinnable state. This was pretty amateurish overall and I think you could do a lot better with this.

The Level Can now be completed, still hard, but winnable.Also, This IS the 1st PUBLIC LVL I EVER made...


*Whew!* Now For Z...


-Shadow only has one d, man.

Double D's Removed

-You jump down the well! Yesssssss.

Had it for you, Nice idea.

-This is Metroid music in the starting area! The outdoor music I used in my graveyard level would probably work well here, I guess.

Sweet New Tunes!

-The wood over top of the well could be centered above the well if you turned off auto-align while placing it.

Centered rope, Not Wood... Opps...

-Dude walkin'

Not Anymore

-These bats you fall on as you first drop down the well seem like they could possibly hit you from the side on the way down. In fact I know they could because I landed on one.

PERMAKILLED!

-What's with the wiggly broken bricks? I don't think you meant for them to be wiggling. They probably shouldn't be wiggling.

No, And i Tried to fix, But Could Not, Like i Said, "Me no makie grood Coustum GF... UH... V?"

-The cracks in the wiggly broken bricks aren't 8-bit! They need to be two pixels wide.

See Above

-I can live with the pot bot, but not with the grass bot. I always slash grass while standing in it, and if you do this it just instantly damages you with no warning.

They Are ALL Gone

-I kind of like how these pots work though. Pots in Zelda games are meant to be tossed! We may want to use this style pot in all the levels. It would also let us use pots and grass in the same level if we did that.

Thanks, they were already in SMBX, I Found them in A Battle LVL.

-Shadow Link just disappeared when the boss fight started. I know he's supposed to be in the shadows but I've been trying to find him for a few minutes and no success. And I can't leave this small area. I think it's bugged.

WAS Bugged

-The really tall section with Dark Link and all the poes is weird as shit. He tells you not to kill him and then you have to kill him. Then he tells you that he's going to hide and you fly off screen and come back and kill him again. What the hell?
NO MO Talkie Talkie!

-He also spawns at the very top if you manage to get up there, but he walks off the edge before you can attack him. And he doesn't land at the bottom, he just disappears when he falls off screen.

Part of the Challange... But if i get Enough Dislike I may have to Rethink it...

-Also, the poes can be killed both by the bombs and by simply flinging a pot at them. This is probably not intended, yet I am forced to wonder why you included the pots and bombs if it's not...

I DID intend for bombs, too hard without it...

-You can't even stab these pots and bombs without losing the powerup! This is weird.

Ummm, HUH? Explain, I Got it on Infinite? There Are no more Bats? Did tghat fix it?

-Statue form is the WORST POWERUP to use around Poes, holy crap. They just all move to your innards and stay there until you become vulnerable. I understand why you have the powerup, but a room full of Poes means it's really more of a power down. Especially since you have to lose the power to kill them.

Kill them First? IDK, It was no Prob For me...

-My poes in Royal Tomb go invisible except for the lantern when you face them; yours turn black instead. I can live with either way, but we should pick one.

They ARE yours, See, YOUR Background is Black, So They Go INVIS... But Mine, IS Not so they Just Blackify...

-This section with the skeletons and skulltulas is really long.

Less of them, more possible

-You can't actually get the key if you have the powerup, what the f!
-You have a checkpoint after the key, and so if you die you restart with no key, unable to return to get the key, and unable to ever unlock that gate
-What the hell, that is not how locked gates work!!
-Why do you even HAVE this key, just unlock the gate, it's not like you can get to this point without beating the miniboss :/

Key is Gone...

-Why are all these wiggly breakable bricks blocking an empty hallway with nothing in it?

Hold on, Soon I Will explain,

-Um you know that you can break these bricks just by stabbing them right? Infinite pots that in turn contain infinite bombs are really unnecessary. And more than a little weird.

No Mo Bomb Gorro

-That graphic you used beyond the breakable bricks is supposed to be a window, you know.
-howwwwww the %*** do you beat this level, did you mean for that window to be a door leading to the end of the stage or something

I Mistook The Window For A Door...But it is Still There because i Didn't Want a "WIGGlY DOOR" lol


SOOOO, Yeah, Now it just needs replayed, and for people to Yell at me more... LOL

Hey Animebryan,I Have an idea,

Why Don't we work toghther instead of compeateing, in the Shaddow Temple I am makeing the last area before the Dark L boss,lets say I Finished THAT, Published it, and YOU made the boss battle using the graphic I have, and that gimmick you have, Waddaya Think?

Hali made that nice Sheik sprite, how would you guys (especially hali) feel about having Sheik be the designated helper? It would be nice for Zelda to have a more proactive role in this game and actively help Link instead of being a damsel. I also think I'd like the idea of a (completely optional) Training Ground level where Sheik can teach players unfamiliar with Link his basic mechanics.

I Like It!
