Answer 1

geeze this level is hard! It's really fun though. I only made it past the smiley face (the second time), and gave up after around 40 minutes :(

Answer 2

I really wasn't aiming for a hard map. I was trying for a nice balancing act between the spikes while staying afloat via prisms. I wanted the map to get harder as it went on, however I think I may have made it too hard since the check points are so sparse.

Answer 3

While I like difficulty, the segments are just too long in my opinion.

Answer 4

I intended the segments to be long. My goal was for the player to have a super move by the end of each one. I can see how having them be too long can be a bad thing though.

Answer 5

You can very easily shorten the length of segments while still having 100 dust by the end of every segment by using more of the dust platforms that you would fall through.
The map is great though, I do really enjoy it, I just think too many people will become demotivated by the last segment and never finish it, which is a shame.

Answer 6

Such a fun map. Totally going to spend an hour or 2 trying to SS it.

Answer 7

Cool map although sometimes I got confused by the colors.

Answer 8

Woo! This is a hard map, but at least I'm comforted by the delicate sugary goodness of cotton candy :)

Answer 9

finally got the SS lol, took me long enough.
well at least I got the number one time =D

Answer 10

Dustworth defeats the evil version of the map..!
That only took several hours more than it should have... =p

Answer 11

I didn't think it was possible as Dustworth. I watched your run before the SS where the final prism behind the clouds messed it up. I probably should've just put that prism out in the open instead of hiding it. I only have it there for any% runs, but I wanted to make it a little hidden. I really hope that it wouldn't screw up someone's SS rank run, but I guess that wasn't the case.

P.S. - You can actually drop down trough the clouds in case you missed that prism.

P.S.S - I'm sorry.

Answer 12

Hah, yes. That run was a bit sad.
I did know the prism was there, I was just so excited about making it to the end that I activated the super too early. =p

100 minutes in and I'm starting to think it might not be possible with dustkid.

ok definitely break time now
I was kinda hoping to have "S D 100:41.518" on the rankings

Answer 14

I just tried it, and Dustkid can SS the level just fine. =)

Answer 15

Managed it after a second session.  Dear Atlas community:  if it's comparable to a "Difficult" map, you shouldn't be tagging it "easy", "medium", "tricky", or any difficulty-related tag other than "hard".

That said, I think this is a notch below that level of difficulty, and a lot more fun... but seriously, two more checkpoints.  It's artificial difficulty; it doesn't noticeably change the challenge of SSing the map, but makes it exponentially more time consuming to practice the hard sections.

Answer 16

Really enjoyed this level, good difficulty + nice color scheme/variety.  I finally SS'd it today after several S/A's.  I did have my first SS run ruined by that hidden prism though since I used my super before falling all the way down.  Would definitely have been nice if it wasn't a goal prism, so I could have gotten an A/S atleast, but its impossible to hit from inside without it :/.

Answer 17

I finally SS'd it :D

Answer 18

I can't believe I haven't played this before now. Super fun map, though pretty frustrating.

...Make a harder one :D

Answer 19

SS'd after 3 deaths on the final drop!! (rage)

Really well designed map! Very fair difficulty, beautiful colour scheme the only real flaw is the lack of checkpoints, although this can be solved by simply practicing in the map editor (which I didn't actually do because I'm stubborn xD). Very good job overall, please keep making maps similar to this, I look forward to grinding them. xD

Answer 20

Phew! Finally got sub 1. Love this map!

Answer 21

I have never raged at cotton candy before.  10/10, awesome level.
