Answer 1

Blutile?

Answer 2

Resistance / Existance is bluetile.
I also thought of Bluenacy.

Answer 3

Bludicrous is even better

Answer 4

Oh, nice!!
I may actually use this...

Answer 5

Grayzy

Answer 6

Once again I don't see the fun in these levels. So many parts here require such crazy precision that they might as well be random.

Answer 7

What parts?
Seriously, the level isn't supposed to be crazy precise to the point of frame-perfect keystrokes. And it really isn't.

Answer 8

http://sadpanda.us/images/1657746-K76Z7TN.jpg These three I found to be way too precise to the point of feeling almost random.

Answer 9

The second one, I definitely agree with you, I should have put a normal platform at the bottom there. Soz.

The other two, they're easy once you learn how to do it.

Answer 10

Actually i'd say that i only agree with the 3rd one after playing it as much as i have. 3rd bit is way 2 random. other 2 you can learn to spam your way thru.

Answer 11

To anyone who has or will complain about difficulty: THIS IS A LEVEL MADE TO BE DIFFICULT if you're going to complain about it DON'T DOWNLOAD IT

Answer 12

there's a lot of good ideas here. but i think there's really no reason to make the level THIS fucking hard/annoying. an extra 1-tile gap here, a few more platforms there, and this goes from a "fuck this dumb shit" level to a "wow this is really challenging me but i shall rise to the challenge" level. the former is honestly not very playable. certainly not enjoyable. the latter is definitely both.

Answer 13

Well, sorry that you don't like it man. But still, my SD has proven the fact that the level IS playable. And, in all reality, I didn't even die that much.

The level wasn't made with easiness in mind, it was made with (relative) fairness. And if I can have three well respected runners think its fair, then yeah.

And I started making this series with a vision of "high difficulty, yet enjoyment". So it's kinda shit to hear you say that :(

Answer 14

dude the majority of the ppl commenting here don't think that it's a fair level at all. people way better than me.

i totally understand what you're trying to achieve with this level; i just think you overshot it.

Answer 15

I'll try and make the next levels fairer to the player. But the thing is, when I try to do that, I make the level 3 or 4 flames, and 5 is what I'm after. Guess I'll just have to find a balance. I may get another playtester...

Cheers for the feedback though!~

Answer 16

as a tip for difficult levels, I found teaching a hard or unusual rythmn difficult enough for people but still fair. I don't mean an irregular rythmn. I mean a rythmn but one that is not used/practiced into the hands. Also, lots of extremely quick button presses is bad. The reason the climb is hard, is because you need to jump and jump again in about 6 frames to not die. That's too over the top to have to do multiple times. 2 times max, and that's if you wanna make people grind it endlessly.

Answer 17

I am going to download it, watch the replays, and never attempt it.  Well, maybe once.

Answer 18

Don't watch mine :O

Answer 19

What were the prizes for the last one?

Answer 20

Thor got a copy of Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe, Takari got a copy of Dust: An Elysian Tale, and  Dice got a crapton of Humble Bundle gamea.

Answer 21

Hold the phone, there's prizes? I might just try to get this level right then.

Answer 22

Do it!!!!! :D

Answer 23

Requiring a super for the final jump is really dumb. Esp when there are parts you can mess up future parts at without knowing. Hit 1 wrong prism thru a wall and you HAVE to super to make it. Then you can't super at the end.

Answer 24

Nope. I made it possible so that you wouldn't need to use your second super until the end.

Answer 25

Please re-read. I didn't say you needed to use it the CORRECT way, however if you accidentally mishit a prism and make it to the next checkpoint you lack aircharges and are forced to super to get there. This happened to me on 2-3 runs and as this level has no entertainment value i didn't feel any reason to give it another shot.

Answer 26

The part with the dustblocks that you have to traverse the spike tunnel with is just stupid, it feels like you ran out of ideas to make a difficult map so you just threw in things to piss people off. Every single time I attempt that part (and mind you the beginning was easy for me) I clear the dustblock in the first slot which makes my character fall down too low and I hit the spikes. Every. Single. Time. To be honest I like a challenge but this is just plain stupid. Try taking some of the ideas in the maps you've made (the difficult parts that people don't hate) and fine-tune them into a level that combines difficulty (you already have this) with enjoy-ability (you don't have this). I mean, correct me if I am wrong, but I seriously doubt you make these levels with the sole intention of pissing people off.

Answer 27

Why do you think I just threw that in to piss people off? I personally think it's a brilliant idea that I haven't seen used yet. And, I'm working on 2 maps for this series at the moment. One which is easier for lower level players (so that they can say "I finished one of the Terror Difficults to an SS!), and another which is sort of a continuation of the series. But yeah, I'll try and make the levels more enjoyable in terms of gameplay (I personally find difficulty enjoyable, haha). And if I wanted to make these levels with my only intention being to piss people off, I would have uploaded an earlier draft of this one. Or put more giga pillars in.

Answer 28

Thanks for the feedback though!~

Answer 29

Pretty sure DustGirl can't even complete it, saves me an afternoon of frustration.

Answer 30

She sure can, bro.

Answer 31

Yeah, I found a work around. zzz

How do you consistently do those upward hallways with the spikes next to them? Just spam jump? Time it? Its one of those parts that I just can not do without it feeling like I just lucked out. Those parts frustrate the hell out of me.

Answer 32

Is it the vertical climb with the 3 prisms & the spikes?

Answer 33

Yeah, similar to the one in incyanity.

Answer 34

Ah. What you do is hit the prism at the very bottom, then jump onto the wall. Just before you cling onto the wall, hit the prism. Wall climb, then do a really quick double jump, and hit the prism before you cling to the wall again. Repeat.

Answer 35

I might make a quick tutorial map.

Answer 36

Yeah, I dunno maybe I'm just too slow or something. I just have a really hard time on those. Ah well.

Answer 37

Here, have a proof of concept.
http://atlas.dustforce.com/1965/prism-climb

Answer 38

I mean, I can spam pretty dang fast, but I couldn't do that maybe more then 10% of the time.

Answer 39

Same. Felt unusually inconsistent.

Answer 40

Just don't think I'm good enough to SS this beast Magnet sorry. ><

Answer 41

Those are honestly fairly learnable, However the bit right after them is ridiculously luck based because if you happen to hit 2 of the dust bits with one light at last 2 you can't make it to the longer one. The upwards prisms bit is def not random tho. I've proven it to myself if nobody else.

Answer 42

Yeah I'm just bad at them, some people are bad at gigawalls, some at petablocks, but for me its spikywallnexttoyouprismaboveyou bits...that may need renaming.

As far as the random blocks, I agree, its worse for Dustgirl though as there are a couple parts like that because of how low her neutral light attack hits. You can hit those blocks early in a few different places in the level and there is not much you can do about it, then you just kinda die. That's one of the main reasons I just said screw it to this level lol.

Answer 43

I feel like if everything was literally one tile wider, it would probably be a lot more fun to play...

Answer 44

that is exactly what i said.

Answer 45

Keeping it in mind for the next level. Cheers.

Answer 46

In all honesty, i would probably go for the SS if it wasn't so stupidly annoying trying to keep your combo up right before the one slope boostey part. I can't seem to land in it right, and i don't die. Just no dust to keep combo up... This level was in all honesty MUCH more enjoyable then the last however i still feel that certain bits are a bit unreasonable and the combo problem makes it not worth the effort.

Answer 47

half a year later i actually complete this thing

Answer 48

A year later I actually SS this thing

Answer 49

Sooo... is there a prize for third place still?
