Advice needed. (Castle Spotlight)

Fri Aug 27, 2004 12:09 am

Okay, I've made a castle that I think is pretty good, but I have yet to make it into the castle spotlight. I'd like it if people could try out my level and give me some advice about how to improve it. My castle is under username amarise. Thanx. :)

Alright I'll give it a go be back in a jiff.

edit: nifty level. I thought the beginning could have used more traps like the moving spike balls or at least have the one near the start move like a regular one to be more challenging.

I like challenging levels so I can say.. more cannons near the end would be a good addition. Very well put together level and it fits with the name.

Thanx. I suspected that I needed more stuff at the beginning..... but about that spike ball, I know it moves strangly but despite all my efforts I can't get it to work right.... I'll probably have to take out the background to make it work, but I'll tweak it a bit. :)

*Edit* Okay, slightly tweaked to be more difficult. Any ideas on how I could improve it?

Yeah, its a fun level, it could just use a few more traps *like with spikes and cannons* and maybe a few more bad guys at the beginning... they make the levels fun! :)

Thanks for your suggestions! I've added a few extra things, and any advice you might have will be even more appreciated. ;)

can somebody try out mine? i made a separate topic weeks ago but nobodys been replying :( (username is magicofexcalibur)

oh btw, your castle is good, but id add a bit more background in the beginning. everything else was ok ;)

Well, thank you. :) I tried out your castle, the background is very nice, but I found it almost impossible to even get to the part with all the korbats, let alone past them. Have you actually beaten the level yourself once? It doesn't seem beatable to me, which might be why it isn't making it into the castle spotlight.

its very beatable... at least to me. i edited it now, with half as much :)

and i thought castle spotlights were supposed to be very challenging...

The spotlights are meant to be challenging, but not so challenging that nobody can beat them ;)

I still can't beat your level, but that's just because I'm pretty bad at EfMD. ;) It seems beatable to me now, and about as hard as the previous spotlight winners. :) Hope yours makes it in sometime. I also made mine harder, if people could take a look at the new version I'd be grateful.
