seriously? Tim-tim was giving bad ratings because the jumping was too difficult. And no one has reported beating house escape, except me and my girlfriends who made the maps. My games are damn hard!
Slimes has gotten lots of people saying that they're stuck on certain levels. So I think the difficulty level was perfect, if not a little too hard. And the levels where you use the pipes as platforms/to block spike guys is how you're suppose to beat them. ( though there's more then 1 way to beat almost every stage, I did that on purpose ) Also some stages ARE designed to have too many pieces just to mess with the player, or to make things easier, you decide.
That mouse stuff sounds cool.
O and the npc layering is super hard for what I want it to do. I'm speaking of light fight, not slimes here. Light Fight's main flaw that stop it's production, was the laying of npc's. How can you stack, say, npc 7 on top of npc 5 and then switch the layer order based on the y coordinate of the certain npc copy.
That said, can slices do this? I haven't tried.
The layering I meant to mention for slimes was the more overall layer:
strings over
slices over
overhead tiles over
npcs over
normal tiles over
under tiles
I'd like to be able to switch this layering order, but it's not THAT big a deal really. |

Haha, just messing with you. I need to try Tim-tim again.

Yes, Slimes had many hard levels which took me a long time to solve, which was great. I just wish that they weren't so many levels, even high-numbered ones, which only took me 5 seconds to solve. It was a lot of fun, which was why I wanted more!

Yes, slices can do this easily, with the "Y sort children" or "sort children" commands.
You can do it with NPCs too, theoretically, but it is so damn painful that AFAIK, I'm the only one to try, and I gave up.

Fear not, it will be possible - the slice system is just unfinished at the moment. And you can already move slices nearly anywhere else. "sprite layer" is just a default parent.

Spoon's already played through all of these, but to give everyone else a chance:
http://www.castleparadox.com/gamelist-display.php?game=985
There are 10 custom levels and several of them are unforgiving. You'll need to backup your original save before you use any of these, and then replace the current one. I divided them into separate folders to keep the levels organized.
Echoing Spoonweaver's hospitality, I'm willing to help if you're stuck on any of these.
And before you ask: Yes, Custom Level 4 is beatable.
Let me know if you like these.

I've gotten a depressingly low amount of submissions for the user made levels section of slimes.
If it helps! One can unlock level creation by using Pepsi Ranger's saved games.
(At first I wasn't going to reveal this, in order to keep the reward for beating the game from "non-winners" but I'm planning to unlock the level creator to everyone in the update anyways so what's the harm, right? Also, plans for a new reward are in the works. )
If anyone has anymore bugs to report or suggestions please let me know. |
