A fun 1 polygon level I made

Post by Fractangle »

This was my first attempt at a 1 polygon level, it's very compact and fairly challenging, with lots of höylability. I've also got a replay of me playing the level very cautiously, they're available here:

Please play and comment! Thanks!
Sanity is a carrot. You find it green and easy to find but the deeper you go, it turns funny colors and narrows down to nothing.

tbh, the hoylability was pretty low. Try not to use gravity in your elvels, and especially not in such confined areas. Also the end was very annoying, so easy to die there and almost nothing you can do about it. :?

One thing that boggeled my mind in your rec was how you went in and took apple at flower, then went and took gravity applesjust to return to flower again... Wouldn't it be smarter to jsut leave the apple and take it later? :wink:

It was an ok level, just try to stay away from gravity apples.. (unless you like them and only want to drive the levels yourself ofcourse)

anyway this is my first finish (took a couple of tries because of the end though) some 41.3x

Plenty of pics but no grass?
Loops with bad transitions are not fun.
3-way gravity sections are not fun.
Bad pipe endings are not fun.

Sorry I'm such a Simon Cowell to you but it's just a common beginner level, we play dozens of better levels every day at Belma.

42.26 1st finish.

I actually kind of like the level. I don't see what's bad about the ending, I think it fits a sqaure like level like that to not have grass but pictures, the loops could be better ofcourse and eventhough the gravity aren't placed all too well it wouldn't hurt a level like that to have gravity.

Agree with Kopa... The level isn't bad at all. It's not the best either, but I find it quite playable. Of course the gravity part sucks a bit, but it doesn't suck as bad as gravity usually do.

Thanks for all the reviews!

I knew that the gravity part was kind of annoying, but there's a trick that I used in my rec that worked most of the time (for me).

Yes, I know that the part in my rec where I took the apple that I should have taken later was kind of beginner-ish, and I've played again without doing that (forgot to rec it though :( )
