Original and creative (like always! ) I had fun time searching for all buttons, and it was pretty hard too loved all of the challenges. My best time is 6.85s

Pretty nice level. Definitely a concept level, I thought the idea of "choosing the difficulty" of the finish was unique. Execution could have been better though, especially due to inconsistent difficulty in the challenges. Some were really easy (the entire right side save for the random friction) but both random friction challenges were pretty hard, especially the moving platform+random friction one. That said I liked the layout of the level, good level building as usual except the center halfpipe was pretty choppy. Normally that isn't a big deal but it made it pretty annoying to get some speed going.

Nice level Buzz! I have yet to find all of the orange triggers but I'll keep trying. Keep up the good work!

Download link: www.mediafire.com/download/ob1px1s75y1bygp/DanceBuzz.zipHere's a new level that I didn't mention in my level idea topic because I thought it would be a cool surprise. It's called "Dance!" and it's all about rhythm, reflexes, and in general, moving and bouncing around in some funky ways. I hope you have fun grooving to whatever song plays as you play this level. Gold time: 1:00.00Apparently, a glitch may occur where the platform that knocks you up at the beginning of the level doesn't move most of the time. This is likely an engine glitch, and as far as I know, exiting the level and re-loading it can make it work. It might get annoying, but this glitch isn't guaranteed for everyone.

Download link: www.mediafire.com/download/7f1ask5t4g9ehlx/ContradictorySlope.zipHere's a really short level that only took one morning to build. It's called "Contradictory Slope"; a level where a downward slope moves upward to create sort of a weird illusion. Call it rushed if you want, but it was basically all I did this morning and there really wasn't much to build. So, I hope you enjoy. Also, I know this might sound desperate, but please try to ignore the edge-hit glitch (you'll know once you've experienced it) because I don't know of a good way to fix it and, admit it, it's actually kind of a fun glitch. Gold time: 8 seconds

I bet the finish is under the platform where actually is the start pad. Am I right, or it'll be some masterpiece MP schedule?

Post by Buzz Carols on Aug 23, 2013 17:26:34 GMT
Aw, that would've been cool. The finish pad is just 0.125 units under the start pad, so you just go back to the start pad after you get the gem. I tried to keep it simple.

Download link: www.mediafire.com/download/5ku3uk5b458skzu/BuzzMap.zipNew surprise level called "Map"! Bet you can guess what's in this level from the title. It was edited Technostick style; all of it was edited in the mission file, which ironically means I didn't have to make a map file *ba dum tsh*. It's meant to be very simple, and it can be done really really fast, so if you like rolling through large areas at high speeds, maybe this level is for you. But really, you be the judge. I hope you enjoy! Gold Time: 30 seconds

I like this level, it's pretty creative! It was fun to follow the map and find the hidden gems. If there was one suggestion I could make though it'd be to make both the map and the playfield a bit more lively. You have to admit it's pretty dull to look at, maybe if you ever make a second version of this level add some landmarks to both the map and field like trees or rocks? Like the map would show you "go 3 spaces left of the big tree" for example.

Thank you! Always glad to read your responses. I thought landmarks might make the level too easy, but maybe that could work if the level was much bigger.

Download link: www.mediafire.com/download/qu6bn9hiz2055j6/DiamondTerritory.zipHere's a new level called "Diamond Territory"! What originally was going to be a multiplayer style level ended up being more of a Leaf-ish level with some multiplayer elements, and of course, some of my own level building style in there as well. Special thanks to Threefolder and Emil for testing, Perishingflames for the skybox, and ChaosUnown for the red texture that acts as a new and very strange type of floor. I hope you enjoy! Platinum Time: 5:00.00 Ultimate Time: 4:00.00

Thanks. The skybox, made by Perishingflames, is called "Sparkling Blue".

Well I managed to finish it after about 11 minutes. I love this level, but I wish it was a little less time consuming, haha. I like what you've done with my lava tiles too, it's like the chevron platforms but substantially better because you can actually control yourself on it.
At first the level design gave me a hard time because I thought if I fell it'd be all over, but what you did absolutely right was add an instant teleport back to the start pad should you mess up. THAT, is something that helps justify the difficulty of the level, because if there wasn't anything below to save you the level would have been a lot more frustrating and jarring.
Aside from how lengthy (and somewhat laggy) the level is, I really enjoyed traversing all over this level. Very nice job.

Download link: www.mediafire.com/download/ai1t13bpuasqbou/LackOfControl.zipOk, I should probably get banned for this one. Here's my latest level, "Lack of Control"! We've all played levels with no jumping and even levels with no platforms. This one is a bit different. Special thanks to Jeff for the code. Enjoy. Also, fun fact: This is my first level to begin with the letter "L". Interesting. Platinum time: 1:00.00 Ultimate time: 50.00

I don't think you deserve to be banned for it, but I honestly feel like this is not a very good level, haha. It was an interesting experiment but I don't think it was delivered very well. The problem is that some of the actions are expected to be extremely precise, and if your marble doesn't land exactly where it needs to then you have no way of progressing and have to restart. I think a lot of frustration could be eliminated if you made the level design a lot more flexible, but as it is right now I don't think I can bring myself to try and finish it.
