Storks and Apes and Crocodiles
Morsel/morceau made a kaizo: light hack, and I wanted to let's play it.
Note: Any suggestions about how to improve video quality are appreciated. For some reason the video's fine on my computer but has weird lines on Youtube.

This time it brings bombs and kamikaze · spiny. You may learn it.
Level 2
Heads up: Level 3's first half took me a long time to beat (1 hour 20 minutes), so the editing will be much more difficult. Therefore, a video might not come out tomorrow.

Just the first half of level 3 caused 310 deaths. That was when I realized let's playing this might not have been the best idea. Original recording time = 1h 20m.

Re: Storks and Apes and Crocodiles
This is not true, of course, since you can map the buttons to something sensible, such as left shift and left control, and use your pinky, unless you don't possess a pinky on your left hand, in which case I apologise for bringing it up.Since I am a keyboard user, I have to let go of most buttons in order to use the L or R buttons.
I notice now that there's a break in this level I can't believe I overlooked (
you can just stand on the last number platform and go under everything
).dont wanna jihad no more
Re: Storks and Apes and Crocodiles
My pinky can only comfortably reach the windows key, so I guess it's time to get uncomfortable.
This level was pretty fun for the most part, although some obstacles felt too difficult or unfair (low bounce on the flying koopa, not hitting the on/off switches twice, and one particular spike in the flying section).

Original recording time: 51 minutes. Since this was a puzzle level, I only cut it down to 30 minutes. Use 2x speed if you want. This was a really clever puzzle.

Re: Storks and Apes and Crocodiles
You slightly broke this puzzle (I thought of making the glitch you used part of the solution but decided not to as it might be too devious). See lazy's video or linkdead's to see what I mean.
This puzzle took about two weeks to make (which is a ridiculously long time for me) because I kept entirely redoing it as there were silly breaks or as I thought what I had was rubbish. In previous cases I have found it difficult to judge properly the puzzles I have attempted to make. With normal levels, the test is: When I play it, am I constantly engaged over multiple playthroughs? -- a test that doesn't apply to puzzle levels. Despite this, I felt I had to include a puzzle as my source (by inspiration) hacks had such levels, and I am genuinely gratified by the good reception the level has had from three separate players (but poor old Katerpie was stuck on it for two days apparently).

And speaking of feedback, did you really see no issues with
having an incredibly short music loop as your song for the first half of stage 17?
Like, really?- morsel/morceau

Re: Storks and Apes and Crocodiles
All I can say is that I liked the music and it didn't occur to me as an issue. After seeing some dismay at that music and some others (and I could listen to 'battle against a strange machine' myself for hours), I have changed these musics in an update of the hack that I am sitting on (and I'm not sure I'll ever post it because all of the things I've fixed so far have been rather trivial).

Re: Storks and Apes and Crocodiles
I mean, I like the song as well, but the loop is simply too short for it to work as a stage song imo, and the fact you're going to be spending hours listening to it worsens the problem significantly. As for the earthbound song, personally I like it too, but I don't really think it fits with the stage itself very well, although I suppose that might be the point.morsel/morceau wrote: ↑6 years ago All I can say is that I liked the music and it didn't occur to me as an issue.
