What, no hearts? You had 17 plays and a few hearts last time I played on it - how did it get reset?

I keep on "tweaking" the map based on feedback. Version5 now, as it turns out there was a map breaking bug in V4 on the mine cart ride. Not something that happened often, but an annoyance.

This is it though!!

Played your latest map chain, it's good but I think its hard to avoid dying after running over the wooden blocks and grabbing the 'thingies!' to travel up through the fire maze. I kept getting killed by random blocks falling down when I was travelling up which I couldn't see. I had fun up to then but that bit is very frustrating!

Yeah I think the falling blocks need to go. Look for V6 soon!!

[Matt]

Version 6 now up! Sorry....

Only just found out you can republish over a previous version, keeping the Played and Hearts! Doh!

As well as the falling blocks being removed, I've tweaked the vertical flame blocks making it a bit easier, and added more stickers all over the show

My girlfriend got the jack o'lantern and pumpkin in her profile but after I installed the animal pack she doesn't have them - at least not yet. Maybe she has to play a game under her own profile first rather than join as a guest.

So anyway, I just finished a team creating session with Miki - I let her decorate my level. The results were too ridiculous not to share with people, so I published it as a locked level, and dropped the key in at the end of the original one. If you want to see it just replay to get the key (I wanted to give it as an ace prize but you can't put keys there.. booooo) and look for "The Castle Keep (Miki version)"

Just spent about half an hour playing your stage, good fun.

Was cool playing the miki version as well, was thinking whilst playing your stage it seemed to lack decoration. lol
The whole stage fell apart for some reason though, can't seem to get past the bit with the two moving platforms again so not sure how to replicate the problem.

Thanks for playing mate... yeah I know the Miki version falls apart, that's what happens when you let your girlfriend make modifications! It's because she put a massive moving skeleton on the ceiling, which broke a lot of the connections, so when you jump on the higher platforms the whole thing comes crashing down. I uploaded it as kind of a joke, because it's such an insane mess. I was hoping she would just prettify it a little, but she went crazy and dropped stuff everywhere!

That's why I locked it, don't want people seeing that unless they've finished the normal one first. Perhaps I should make the description clearer that it's not meant to be completed...

While I was working on my next level last night I stumbled upon a really nice visual effect, which has given me another idea.. now I want to start working on that as well but there aren't enough hours in the day! I need to figure out how to do something though - maybe someone here can help? I want to make it so that when the player dies they appear in a room they haven't been to yet (just like the author of the Gradius/Tetris levels did - when you crash you appear at the end, not the start). How do you do it? Do you have to move the start gate with some kind of machine?

[Darwock]

Ok then I cant believe im tempted to spend money on skins but whats the animal pack like lol?

I picked it up as well as the Japan specific cat costume, as it was only 500 yen for 5 costumes which is like 50p a costume. Much better than 500 yen for 1 single t-shirt like last week!

Anyway, the animal suits are a mixed bag - the shark hat is superb, lovely bouncy movement in it (but you do look like one of the idiot kids who's been on the Jaws ride at Universal Studios).. but that costume is ONLY a hat. The frog gives you a green/orange skin material and the tongue springs around nicely, but the realistic eyes are just gross! They should have gone for a cute frog instead. The gorilla gives you a suit to wear on the body and the hat - you need a black sackboy skin already if you want him to match. The penguin is maybe the best value as you get a fake beak, a pink scarf, and the coloured skin.

I kinda cheated on stage 4 with the first 2P part on boom town..i figured how to get the goodies without using the mine carts and do it from the top.

However! me and doodle just did it properly which probably took us an hour? (probably longer) was good fun and I feel satisified we did it properly.

I love this game.

[ShadowDancer]

Just played your level Chain. Pretty impressive mate. Gave it a well deserved heart. Good stuff.

[kernow]

so, own up, who's done the '7 trophies in 30 seconds' levels?

[ShadowDancer]

Rocking! Now 100% stages 1-4. (some dude at gamefaqs helped clear the other 2 that needed 100%)

Plans for tomorrow..well today! Ace all the ones that aren't and continue with stage 5.

Any plans for MM to do a Christmas themed stage download? I don't mean costumes..i want a whole theme like the others!

I thought I'd have a bit of a quick mess around with this last night, finished the first curators levels and attempted a few challenges...then I decided to check out a few levels online and some random fella ended up joining my game. At first I thought it was someone off my friends list, then noticed everyone was busy playing other levels. First thing he did was slap a sticker of a bird on my face and then proceeded to slap me around a bit. After a brief scuffle things became much more civilised and we went through the first bunch of levels, showing me how to reveal more unlockables (doing stuff that just didn't occur to me!) and doing a few of the two player tasks. It was such as pleasent experience...now I just have to get my missus to create a sack girl

[PrayforMojo]

I really wish there was a way of disabling the alarm that signals when you're down to your last life, because my nerves just can't take it anymore. I'll be glad when the story mode is over, so I can muck about making levels and go back to playing less stressful games like Dead Space!

[Number45]

Some of the levels on this are just brutal. I honestly can't see me 'aceing' most of them.

Thanks.

I can't wait to get in to this online properly, only a few more weeks until the Sony Headset gets to me....
