Does anyone have a guess on why he made it and who he gave it to?

I'll give my theory after someone else does.

And this teaches us the heartwarming lesson, no matter how bad you are, no matter how much you screw up, someone has always done worse. I literally cannot believe how bad this is.

Apparently there are more changes in this game than I though there would be. The gargs really need to see a dentist, and it looks like the yorps have fell in a bucket of paint.

I dunno, so far I've seen far worse levelpacks and mods (has anyone played "Four Golden Crystals"?) than this. And I refuse to be artificially shocked now like Llass.

Aside from all the clean cut tiles, it doesn't seem that bad, no.

I'm not shocked per se so much as amazed. It reminds me of fanfiction. If there *is* worse out there, I'm not sure I'd want to see it.

Having seen a few levels, I can appreciate why the initial, unedited post was so critical. I'm glad it has since been revised; thanks.

Now that we see some in-game screenshots, a critical eye is certainly more welcome. "Clean cuts" is a nice euphemism for some of the structures that are clearly not visually coherent.

No matter how good the gameplay is, I'd have a hard time giving this mod much of a chance beyond what has been shared. :(

Now for the ice level!

Hmm.

You could make your own structure, you know.

That thing flashes from yellow to dark red. Yes, this mod actually has a story. I'll get to that later.

I have a feeling he didn't test this.

Here's the story:

Code: Select all

On April 17th, 3026, eight year old Billy Blaze was shopping at the hardware store with his parents.  He bought everything he needed for his new invention, the home teleporter.  He got in his Bean-with-Bacon Megarocket.  He meant to press "OPEN INVISIBLE BACK DOORS" to let his parents in.  His hand slipped and he pressed "LAUNCH".  Because he bumped the control panel, a fuse cracked and autopilot mode went crazy.  The Bean-with-Bacon flew in autopilot mode to the planet Mars!  He soon discovered he could survive without his space suit.  He went exploring.  When he came back with 1 life, the vorticons took 5 lives from him.  Help his ghost get 4 hearts back so Keen can be alive again.
So that's his excuse for ripping graphics. And that's what the weird ship part was. :crazy
