[Vid Inferno]

Dang ol' yo, man. I'm getting into the level editing business, and this is pretty fun. Feels nice to have a level completed and try it all out, and I thought I should probably throw my levels out into the crowd instead of them gathering dust with all the other five-stars.





Running Hell



Starring Runman! Note: There's a beholder around those flaming pipes. It gives you very little vertical room to jump over those saws, so you've got to jump as far as you can for the bandage, or as small as you can to make it to the gap. I'd still like to tweak the level a bit.


Election



Conveyer belts! You go super speed in one direction, and you're going the wrong way the other times so you can get back! The shooting sawblades make it so you've got to take slightly different paths than the first time. It's the harder of my two levels, even after I made it easier.


Pictures don't give the levels justice or explain them well enough! Try them out; you won't regret it!

That's all my levels so far! I'll be putting them out every once in a while, so expect to see me again!

[Phleabt!]

loved it..keep up the good work

We have another one, called Election! It's funny 'cause you run for an election. Get it? Election? Runman? It's a pun. It's one of those things you do when you do wordplay. Don't you just love wordplay? And by extension, you love puns, don't you? Yeah. That was funny.

No, not really.

Go ahead and try it out. I'm considering making a Runman chapter.

Bad Cave Story joke and pornography reference, good job bro.

It's called election, not erection, and I just thought it was a fitting name, since after all, I like Cave Story and you're running in Hell.

I appreciate the constructive criticism, though! It was terribly foolish for me to spend all that time making my levels and not putting the same thought into my names! Next time I make a level that sounds vaguely like an erotic word, I'll respect the people who have erections in their thoughts and I'll make something less likely to distract my homosexual playerbase.
it's a joke; i swear to god if anybody takes this seriously i've lost faith in forums forever

The jumping you have to do to avoid the eyeball in that Hell level is way too precise. I didn't manage to finish this level and I don't really feel like beating it neither. Too bad, considering the rest of the level played okay (although the level really needs backgrounds)

Election is way too long for its own good. The level probably should end with that shed where you find the key, don't make the player backtrack through all of this long stretch again, this isn't fun. Also, what's with the schizophrenic decoration in the level? The indoor sections look pretty good and detailed, but the outdoors section is a barren wasteland laden with an ugly brown sky. Put the same kind of care for exterior areas than you did indoors, it'll make your levels way more attractive.

Also, please put camera boundaries in your levels. There's no reason to not place them ever. Also, in the intent of making a Runman chapter, you may want to zoom out the camera more to take in account Runman's speed and encouraging the player to make good use of his quickness.

It's called election, not erection

Wow I never said that, stop thinking like that mister pervert.

I like Cave Story and you're running in Hell.

I hope you played the PC version and not the Wii one.

Wow I never said [erection], stop thinking like that mister pervert.

I don't know where you got the "pornography" reference, then. I honestly have no clue. Also, I never played the Wii version.

Anyways, to the earlier dude, thanks for the criticism. Any words to help improve my levels are appreciated.

Yeah, Election probably is too long. I was kinda fond of the backtracking-on-conveyers idea, but all in all it becomes too difficult when you have to repeat the first stretch over again. I'd probably tweak it to make the level a bit better, but shortening the track would take redoing a lot of the level. I'll either toss bandage girl at the end, or call it a learning experience and move on to something else.

The only reason I didn't have better backgrounds for my level, though, or the camera wasn't adjusted, is because I honestly didn't know how. I still can't figure out the camera, only managing to spawn myself off-screen at this point. Layer 6 background tiles, I figured out halfway through Election, hence the sparse backgrounds. Still haven't added animated backgrounds, which I could use. That's mainly a fault of my own laziness. I'll figure this stuff out eventually!

As for Running Hell, maybe it's just me being the person who's tested it way too much, but the jumping didn't really need to be too precise for the jump. Start a dash with the shift button and jump across all three saws in one jump with a tiny tap. It should be easy to get into one of those gaps. To get the bandage, jump over the first saw and jump as far as you can with a dash. Walljumping immediately should land you up on the ledge. Maybe I can fix this up a bit with a second version while I add backgrounds to it.
