I can at least give the level a chance at possibly going bigger than the attention it already had (which is minimal, unfortunately.).

You never know.


I played, and it really does have a chance to make into WITBLO13. It just make me feel awkward when people do that.

You know you wanna watch it.....

candy coaster in advance amirite?

I'm just gonna say this here. Please don't enter Black Jungle Run into WITBLO13. I really don't want it in there, I know it got 2nd, but it's just not my best effort and my best level. I can do a lot better than it, Science War is already an example of that (even though somehow it scored lower o_O) and I'm sure my future entries will be wild improvements too.

And tbh, playing the level gives me shivers because I remember making some parts of it very much against my will when I was having some pain in my life. Sounds haunting, I know, but it shouldn't be for anyone else- just for me as I remember designing every part of it. :P

So yeah. Tbh compared to the competition I don't think it would do very well anyways.

Well, the thing is, Amp, Black Jungle is one of the top 25 LDC levels of all time. That's a hard feat to ignore.

Wait wat? o_O



...Ohh you mean score-wise. I suppose if we were to base it on stats, it could be entered. But I personally don't even find it that great an entry, I'm shocked to death that it was only 0.6 points (holy ♥♥♥♥) off a 17 score.
I don't mind it in there if people like it, but in my eyes it was only a simple platformer that I kinda rushed most of and took me about 10 minutes to plan. :s

MoD is freakin bothering me for a year with Yoshi Mania now. So. I don't think you can get easily get rid of levels.

Had to say it. Also I dunno why. But Arctic Ruins was a bit disappointing to me. : /

It's hard to continue a series after a level like Dragon Valley, and keep the same quality. Dragon Valley has become the minimum awesomeness people are waiting for now... And Arctic Ruins was supposed to be a quick Duel level. But I'll try to make the next level even more awesome ;)

Well, Yoshi Mania was incredible in size, and that's a pretty empirical factor.

So even if you could find faults in graphics, gameplay, or simply dislike it for the loading time/lag, it doesn't hold it down much over how breathtaking some of the sights are; e.g. the cave second transition.

But well, this is where I'm confused. Mine is just very simple, rushed, small and there's nothing that extraordinary about it, except maybe that the trees have different branches to make it more interesting. Maybe the judges just liked those kind of platformers.

Like I said, if MoD or anyone else wants it entered based on stats or if they thought it was actually good enough, then sure. But I won't be self promoting over it, I'd much rather make a better level and enter that instead. :P


(EDIT: oh god please don't play it :3)

whoops. I thought I had removed that tiny text. Anyways. It's mainly the variety of gameplay being down at a minimum and other stuff mainly reducing the fun in the level. the graphical work was quite decent. I should probably get my ♥♥♥ into your level topic and write a review tomorrow.

Anyways. I'm pretty much agreeing with every level in here and hope I won't see any of mine in WITBLO 2013. /serious face

Also never played that black jungle one. I've seriously some stuff to do now.
