    First level from my "Keepin' It Retro" level pack, inspired by GregB's concerns the new game isn't old school enough ;)

    Finished it :) Level 4 was the hardest until I realized I could get straight to the end without triggering the door... then I did it in 12.3 seconds. Great for a first pack, I've been impressed by everyone's stuff so far, not found anything boring yet.

    yeah i like that one, cause the point of that level was that your first life is VERY important (i know you can restart ;))

    my favorite was level 3, it was much more complicated but i decided that i didnt want people to get confused.

    I just finished my first pack... It's pretty easy... I'm not that creative, so don't be too harsh :p But, anyways, search : xSouRx :)

    Done! Rated it easy, but still fun to play. I like some of the designs... kinda tempted to steal the wood layout of level 3 for my next retro level :p

    Just pumped out another level called "Laser Mazes". Look for it in the hard section. And I made it so you can't cheat :p (at least, I think I did).

    I put as much polish on it as I could. Hope you enjoy it :D.

    Not sure if I should just start pumping them out or keep with my tactic of taking it slow :p

    Yeah, I didn't want to rush on this one but I really wanted to see it being downloaded :p.

    I spent so much time on the centerpiece for levels 1-4 that I forgot to make the final level pixel perfect :|. Oh well.

    Just finished it, no cheating. I have no idea how you set some of those times though, I beat your level 3 time but the others are about twice as long :rolleyes:

    Oh, and level 5 was evil, don't ever do that again :p

    I love the fact that you can't rate a level until you complete the pack, so there won't be low rating just because someone can't beat a level.

    Yeah, I messed up on Level 3. :p

    :D

    Level 5:

    See, it's pretty clever. We wanted to avoid the scenario with actual apps, you know when you delete it and is asked to rate it. Another good thing is that if no-one plays through it, it will never get rated, and hence will not get to the top lists either.


    I'm loving your levels, keep it up!

    I don't know if there's any more optimizing you can do on the editor, but it seriously hates me trying to do any kind of intricate detail and starts going super slow... I even got a few graphical glitches. Maybe I just need a better computer :p

    ...but I suppose I was pushing it kinda hard, I had about 50 6x6 squares because sour asked me to give him credit if I steal his level layout ;)

    A suggestion for the editor: add a "make new from level" option or something to that effect. For levels 1-4 or Laser Mazes, I made the centerpiece the exact same every time, and I was thinking it'd be a lot easier if I made a blank level with just that, and there was an option to make a new level from that.

    Yeah I was also thinking a "load last save" button would be nice. Sometimes I'm experimenting with something but I'm not sure if it'll work... if it doesn't I have to either click on a different level or close the page and open it again. It's not too much bother but if you're going for useability it would be helpful.

    Oh there is more we can do. The good thing about the editor is that we can update it right away, it doesn't have to be approved by Apple.

    What are the graphical glitches? If you can describe it or have the possibility to send me a screen shot I'd be very thankful.

    Hey guys, I've almost finished with my PAC MAN level. Here's a few screens, I'd love to hear some feedback before I publish it. :) It'll be my second level pack. Oh and I sorta borrowed the laser part from Mew's level, thanks!
