UPDATED VERSION: • Winter's Awakening (UPDATE) - Level by Me!...
SKIP TO 0:19 FOR WALKTHROUGH
Here it is, my first 2.2 level. I honestly don't know how to feel about this level. On one hand, I'm super proud of it, and on the other I feel like it's kind of a mess. I'm certainly not as proud of this as I am of Roselily, even though this took longer surprisingly.
The main two problems are the balancing and the storyline. The reason the storyline feels so random is because that's exactly what it is, I literally just built as I went and didn't come up with ideas for the story until I had to build them. The Indiana Jones fridge scene was a funny idea and I'm glad I added it, but it feels so off from the rest of the level. Maybe this is just me being critical of myself and it's actually fine, idk. The second problem, being the gameplay, is more prominent. My #1 goal with this level was to try to make something bearable that people didn't hate, since a lot of rated platformers tend to be very buggy and confusing nowadays. I think I did better than a lot of creators (no offense to them), but for the 7 moons I was aiming for, the 2 skill-based rooms are way too long to be fun sadly, not to mention completely out of place after a puzzle. I'm not sure if this will get rated, I think it's better visually than a lot of the rated levels out there, but with how hard it is to get a send nowadays it's difficult to know.
I'll end off on a positive, since I genuinely am still really proud of this level. A lot of the individual ideas I had for this level were honestly amazing, the "opposites match" puzzle and the falling shapes puzzle are super fun ideas, even though i have to plaster hints in giant letters because people are too dumb to understand how to do it lol. A lot of my IRL friends have been playing this level and have said it's very hard/unbalanced, but really good. Thank you to them for playing it and I'm glad you found it fun! While I didn't have as much fun building this as Roselily, I do want to try my hand at another project like this in the future.
