Here is a little story about this level's existence. I was looking around HiGuy's website when I noticed a really handy plug-in called the Platform Assist tool. This tool is a faster way to group moving platforms together. That alone led the level's creation. "Intertwined Ride" consists of riding an assortment of moving platforms and grabbing the gems while moving around sections of the platform. From what I've tested, it is hard, but not too frustrating. Obviously I'd recommend it to players who are looking for a good challenge or just curious on how the level plays out. Major props to HiGuy for that sorely needed tool. With it, I can make levels with groups of moving platforms.

If you are looking for that tool, here is a link to it: higuy.me/platformassist.php

That said, enjoy Intertwined Ride.

Platinum Time: 1:40.00
Ultimate Time: 1:10.00

You may notice some similarities

Yeah this level is based off of Diamond Motion Challenge, I forgot to point that out.

Today's level is a sequel to the relatively short "Progression". Progression 2 is a longer level and probably more challenging. The music that plays in the level is "Building the City" by master musician Buzzmusic. The skybox associated with the level is made by amateur skybox creator Threefolder.

Platinum Time: 3:00.00
Ultimate Time: 2:10.00

Double posting to say that the level has been patched with missing colored textures needed for the level. I double post when I have to point out a patch for a level.

I just tested Progression 2, and it was pretty good. Keep things up!

This next level is fairly simple. It is a straight track with walls filled with fans that you have to pass. There are speed boosters you can use to take advantage of this.
Enjoy Tempest!

Platinum Time: 30.00
Ultimate Time: 18.00

A neat concept, however I thought that the Ultimate Time was too easy; I got 12.450 on my first try.

Much like with Scalene, I wanted to make the PT and UT in this level easy enough for anyone who is casual at MBP.

I downloaded Progression 2 today, and when I reached near the end of the level, I see the interior is messed up.

I think the reason why its like this is that you're missing a texture. Its white when in low graphics quality, but its invisible when in high quality. Regardless, I'll patch the level with it if thats the problem. I'm guessing thats the case because that was supposed to be a crate.

I just got 8.614 in Tempest. There's a non-neglectable possibility to get sub 8 with a big burst of speed towards the ending.

Here is the latest installment to my "Skill Course" series. BM's Skill Course 3 is a level that was intended to be an expert level, but it doesn't seem to be too frustrating. That being said, I think this level is the best designed of the three.

Enjoy.

Par Time: 2:00.00
Platinum Time: 1:30.00
Ultimate Time: 50.00

This was a great level! It was a bit confusing to get around at first, but I quickly found a decent path (for sub-40) and now I know exactly where I'm going.
A couple things to say though.
One, the texturing you did with the the towers was kinda weird (I personally found it pretty displeasing in terms of appearance) with the alternating brown and green pattern. I would've just stuck with one texture.
Two, I think the amount of time before you get teleported again when you're on the telport pads is a bit too short. I'd change it to 2-3 seconds.
Three, I'd raise the Ultimate Time by like 5 seconds. It's a bit difficult.

Aside from that, sweet level. This is the kind of stuff I like to see. Keep it up!

The reason why the scenery is left as it is is because I didn't want the green diamond texture to be left out. I made a last minute move by using it as a means of scenery.

One thing that people complained about in Collector's World (literally every complaint from the webchat and discord to a certain extent) was that the teleporters took longer than they actually should. For this level, I wanted the teleporters to transport the players fast enough to each individual area. (Another reason I could think of is to beat the Par time faster, but that is just a minor detail)

Thanks for the review anyway.

This level is pretty nice, I like the diversity of the moving platforms being connected with the various challenges, I will probably get the Par Time with some practice (15 tries, 15 fails).
Was too lazy to make a correct review

Since PlatinumQuest is coming out in a few months from now, I thought it would be a perfect time to explain my first PQ projects I'll be working on after it's release. I'll be making two singleplayer PQ levels. One unoriginal level and one totally original level. First level is "Platinanium", which will be a basic skill course with the PQ elements added in. So there really isn't anything too special. The second is "Studiopolis", which will incorporate elements from a movie theater or cinema. Some of these elements include cameras, popcorn machines, and movie screens. I'm very certain that this level will become something where I can break the MB norm.

Aside from those two levels, a PQ level pack will surface. This pack will contain levels I made in the past and replicate them for PQ, while adding and removing things to improve upon the original experience. The pack in question will contain ten levels, much like in Gerson's Level Compilation.

All these projects are things I'm really exited to put into action right when PQ surfaces. I know that I've been making a lot of great levels recently, and I don't really have much ideas for more MBG/P levels at this point. So, I'll be taking a break from making levels until PQ eventually releases in 2017.

Since I'm taking a break from making actual levels, I'll be making remakes of other levels over the next few months until PQ gets released. This is a Bouncing Fun remake with more balanced Time Modifiers and a probably more balanced platinum and ultimate time. It also adds new scenery to differentiate from the original version of the level.

Enjoy.

Platinum Time: 3:00.00
Ultimate Time: 1:40.00

Oohh, this is an interesting idea to do. I like.
I'll watch the videos as you make them as well.

So I posted this in my twitter account, but I thought I'd post it here because it is the main resource for my levels:

[POLL CLOSED]

Double posting to say that the poll will end on Friday. So the link will be removed by then.

I will say that I took a head start on the second Ultra DLC. This doesn't mean I won't do the entry that didn't win, I'll just save it for a different time.

Poll is now closed. The second Ultra DLC pack will be the next remakes. Sanctuary will be worked on later.

I always liked the original Bouncing Fun so this level was really fun for me! I didn't really try to optimize it but it can definitely go sub 1 minute.

This is just a proof-of-concept level incorporating non-linear level design. The concept itself is extremely basic on its own. The purpose of this level is for you to pick and choose the path you want to take to reach the gem and the goal.

Enjoy.

Platinum Time: 16.00
Ultimate Time: 8.00

Love it, simple, clean and pretty neat concept if done right (in which case it was). You should experiment with this more!
Best time: 2.41 (Used mid path by collecting all TT's, maybe level was too TT reliant?)
I'm curious how would you balance UT and PT times. In this case I noticed that UT is the longest path done with no mistakes. So Should UT time be one of the longest paths or the shortest one?

You can choose the paths you want to go to get either PT or UT. I felt that setting the UT to 3.00 just for that one TT section may be unfair. Thats why it was increased to 8.00 to show more balance.

I feel like the UT should definitely be lower, despite there being other paths. Got 1.40s after a few tries.

When it came to Intertwined Ride, people complained about the level having too much memorization and trial and error. In response to these criticisms, I decided to incorporate the same idea and utilize it better. The moving platforms move back and forth infinitely, alleviating the reliance on memorization. Time modifiers are slightly harder to get, but they are optional. If you don't want to take the risk of collecting them, you don't have to. What I'm trying to say is Motion Square is much easier and better designed than Intertwined Ride. If you missed a gem, you can go back and get it using the MPs.

Enjoy.

Meridian, a level that got back to development since July, is finally ready to be released to the public. This somehow elevated multiplayer level is huge, so huge in fact that there are teleporters to take you from place to place with no wasted time at all. This level also has Architecture-esque gem spawns, meaning they spawn randomly within groups. With said teleporters and branching pathways, this level can be somewhat easy to navigate around.

Enjoy!
