raocow's talkhaus

I'm pretty sure the subtitle for the series as a whole could be:
Vip; original to a fault.

Having said that, I liked the advanced ghost house here.
Didn't look overly unreasonable.

I think you're supposed to use your dash to go under most of the Thwomps, not try to jump over all of them. I was going to post something similar to this. I noticed rao tends to jump over Twomps in other games as well even when suboptimal. It's probably mostly automatic after it being the best solu...

Point of order for all occasional players, there will be 13 free new packs for playing when the explansions comes out the 26th. Might be worth it to at least log in and check things out if you're busy during the week but planning on playing in the future. More importantly there is a Demo inspired ca...

I liked the use of p-switches in "Differences".
Multiple secrets to progress and hinted at in differend ways.
Looked like a really fair and rewarding puzzel.

Also happy new year in advance to anyone reading this as I probably won't be around the next couple days :3

If your name showed up in the credits, allow me to profoundly thank you for this great experience.
And to everyone who participated or was otherwise involved, thank you all as well.
It truly was "good times".

Best level. It is so good I'm not sure anything I have ever seen even comes close? Might be because of the recency effect but I legit can't think of anything. On the one hand raocow is still bad at noticing/testing things out. On the other hand, maybe vital gameplay elements need to be spelled out t...

I still stand by my last post. And agree with the general sentiment regarding the last screen.

Only thing I have to add is that it might have been "alright" if it had no enemies and relied solely on the gag signs.

I get the feeling that too many people decided that, with only one screen to work with, they needed to trap the player as long as possible. Even ignoring the obvious outliers, most screens seem to start from a warp, loop around and exit with a warp. Maybe it's just me but I thought the idea of this ...

Zelda looks like a lot of fun to design levels for. Hype working as intended there. RE: locating where Zelda will return, I would suggest a magic portal grafic similar to this: http://www.zeldadungeon.net/Zelda03/HeartPieces/23.png And best smash champ is obviously King Dedede. Looking forward to se...

I really enjoy going "Aww look it's that guy" at this part of the contest.
Both of todays levels could have been terrible and I still would have liked this episode.
And then they were actually pretty neat and clever to boot. Good stuff.

'Behold', There Is a Ring! Look! for favourite level for sure. Absolutely adored it.

Todays level gave me a megaman battle network feel with the hidden duders.
Nice fitting music and not that big of a map to explore.
Enjoyed it a lot.
Don't understand why it had 2 exits but that wasn't a big deal.

I've had some time to think and there's some stuff I can say/recap from rewatching raocow + tidbits from the dev commentary video I linked above. PS this is a ton of text: The only cards I used were Shock and Flashfires, with a passive, if impossible-to-judge influence from the Dryad to be represen...

So I found some time to play my level and skipping the end is indeed pretty easy. I even made sure that you couldn't get stuck but maybe I should have been less 'friendly'. I didn't know how to glitch through properly before but after trying it again I figured it out. To put my abilities into perspe...

Developer commentary time First of all, I'm very happy with the reaction to my level. Horikawa summarized my main intent perfectly; so I'm glad most of the theme was apparent and appreciated. The changing of the castle as it melted was the most important concept for me. Sometimes the ice being ther...

Thx for the response you two; I somehow decided that multiple rooms would increase exponentially with each fork. The secret definitely works best as a sequence. Also I kinda liked the slime on the stairs because it made a non-threat suddenly dangerous. You already have the option of rushing by befor...

Question:
Could you go in the moat without going on the cliff?
And could you go in the flower witout going in the moat?
Most importantly was the star in the block without going in the flower?

I like the progression of there not being a secret star.. promise.. for real... ok fine.

Welp, speaking of being able to spot talkhaus design :3 Good peach platforming design on the first level. The firebat was also appropriate because it was a bat and swoopers are also bats so there. Super cute penguin resprite and great name use; funny and super silly boss fight. I'm with Sturg on the...

Piggy level was cute and looked pretty fun and doable. While it's hard to say without actually playing it, I believe all it needed was a midpoint. Like Tenlade said 2 pages ago. Have the piggy hit a switch and walk off screen; next screen the "same" piggy keeps walking right. Too many shor...

Can you make the boat go up and down too with those blocks? It could be used for a "Marisa and Alice's Trap Tower" themed level. Edit: Being able to trigger events easily just by walking on a block could be useful too for puzzle levels. Yes, that can be done 'relatively' easily. Wasn't th...

I liked the concept of the boat ride. The different places to stand on were really clever. Then getting the switch to change the boat options for the ride back was also neat. I think I prefer the slow speed for better control but then maybe make the trip shorter. Also just use the green switch and g...

See my Personal Fun Factor for this was only a 6/25 (an F-, given 12.5 being a C), but I figured most of that was me being legitimately awful at the game, so I ranked Other Person much higher (at 14/25 or a C+, given 12.5 being a C). Perhaps I over-estimated the abilities of other people? ^ Remembe...

raocow: 0 - puzzels with solution spelled out: 2 Today we had some conceptually super good levels. I really liked the overhanging theme of bridges. It's pretty much using the same floor block but in the end you have a bridge town. If you then add a common enemy like a cannon, the inherent flavor is ...

Like with a lot of things, I believe you're never completely finished with a level. You just reach a point where you're happy with it. I think people that say their level wasn't finished never got to make a section that they had already planned as opposed to needing more time to work on specific thi...

A Blue Fortress Level The level progresses nicely, though I'm kinda baffled about getting that last dragon coin, too, unless that jump is possible by freezing the paratroopas. Good name adherence, also. Probably requires spinjumping off the small Boo. There is a springboard at 3:24 ~ 3:34. Ps. 179:...
