CylinderKnot's Level Collection

Hello, everyone! Welcome to my level thread. You can find levels in the style of Marble Blast Gold here. As of right now, most levels are in the style of level-editor courses. However, the most recent levels were built with Constructor, so they have custom level parts.

Download instructions for LEVEL-EDITOR courses:
1. Click on the download button without clicking an advertisement.
2. Start the launcher and click on Advanced or Settings.
3. Go to Open Game Dir or Open Game Files > platinum > data > missions > custom. If the "custom" folder does not exist, create it yourself.
4. Unzip the file and place the contents into custom.
5. Enjoy!

Download instructions for CONSTRUCTOR courses (levels with custom parts):
1. Click on the download button without clicking an advertisement.
2. Start the launcher and click on Advanced or Settings. Then click on Open Game Dir or Open Game Files.
3. Follow the instructions enclosed in the README file.
4. Enjoy!

Levels are in reverse chronological order, so the most recent levels are at the TOP of the thread.

What do these difficulties mean?
Beginner: Players who are acquainted with Marble Blast should have little trouble. (Easy)
Intermediate: Players with decent knowledge and skill can take on these levels, albeit with some difficulty. (Medium)
Advanced: Skilled players may struggle a bit with these challenging levels. (Hard)
Expert: Highly skilled players will find these levels quite difficult. (Very hard)
Master: Only the best players stand a chance at completing a level of this difficulty; this difficulty is certainly NOT for casual players. (Extremely hard)


Fourth Era Levels: These levels are also available on Marbleland.

I finally had the motivation to release my newest level! "How High Is Up?" is quite the fitting name to say the least.

EDIT: Don't expect super long levels like this for a while.

Thank you all for bugging me to release Rail Rocket, which should be a lot easier than my other levels.

Here are my thoughts on all of the levels you've posted so far.

Weather wrote: Here are my thoughts on all of the levels you've posted so far.

​

Slope Inferno
- I think the jump at the end of the fourth interior could benefit from a wall or something just to make it readily clear that the purple platforms next to it are not where the player should go next.
- Challenge eleven is too bumpy; some of the platforms don't seem to be aligned properly.
- Challenge thirteen, although at the end, I think could use a checkpoint; going through two easy parts repeatedly gets annoying.
- I think challenges one and five are particularly creative. This is perhaps my favorite level from you.

Chaos
- Not a bad idea for the Super Bounce, but I feel it wasn't pulled off all that well, and the level could have been improved with more testing.
- The diagonal wall after the second gem can easily be gotten stuck in. I think you should avoid scaling platforms that are meant to be hit at a high velocity.

Arachnid
- Interesting idea and design.
- I think a different and smoother interior should be in place of the rings, perhaps MBG's Half-Pipe interior forming rings with two copies each.
- I want to say this level needs a checkpoint, but it probably doesn't. :​p

Inconsistency
- Checkpoints.
- This level is kind of cramped in places, and might have been more enjoyable without the minimum speed limit.

Rail Rocket
- Relaxing after playing Inconsistency. :​p
- I think the ramp to the left needs to be closer to the start, otherwise the super speed might give too much speed and the gem may easily be missed.

How High Is Up?
- Pretty darn good, but probably too hard for its length.
- The second super speed of the mud ramp in section three is too high.
- In general, hard parts should come right after checkpoints, with easy parts just before them, so much less time is spent repeatedly going through the easy parts.

Yay, first full post of feedback! I'll address various points and explain why things are the way they are.

Slope Inferno:
- While creative, I feel a bit unsatisfied with the first challenge. If I could go back in time, I would have made the slopes a lot more forgiving and reworked the bumpers.
- The idea behind the last challenge is to use the Super Speed when you're closer to the finish. Perhaps I should have given a little clue because, looking back on it, it's far from obvious.
- Lots of misalignments were present since I didn't know about rounding coordinates in MBP's level editor.

Chaos:
- Due to MBP's editor not having the convenient rotation system in PQ's editor, I couldn't get super duper creative with it. Perhaps this could use a sequel with new challenges.
- Yes, the wall where you can easily get stuck is a problem that I let slip through because I didn't know better at the time.

Arachnid:
- Sorry about how the rings are... half-pipes would have worked well apart from the platform extensions at the end, and tubes would not work because of how easily you can get stuck in them when scaled to be thin but large.
- Now that I think about the half-pipes, I could have utilized the platform extensions somehow... dang, a missed opportunity.

Inconsistency:
- I should have kept the "HARD LEVEL" tag, but I removed it because I wanted fewer than half the levels to have that tag since "How High Is Up?" was about to be released. I guess I can put the tag back now.
- The level is cramped in areas, but you need to go more slowly there and speed up before you fail the consistency.
- Without the minimum speed, I don't know what I would have called this level.
- I should have made the fourth tower a lot easier since the part with the tube and GM's was surprisingly difficult.

How High Is Up?
- The Super Speed is meant to be elevated slightly. If it wasn't elevated, the challenge with the mud ramp would be a lot more difficult.
- Checkpoints were actually a last-minute decision, but I didn't want to scatter them everywhere. Perhaps I should have reworked a few challenges.

Rail Rocket
- You can hit the GM after the Super Speed, and you'll collect the gem as well.
- That gem was originally placed closer to the SS, and it was very hard to collect consistently. Fortunately, you can aim for the base of the GM to collect the gem.

Thank you for being the very first person to give me detailed feedback on my levels, and I'll keep this in mind in my upcoming levels! Too bad I don't have any ideas yet.

New level! Bounding Box Bash involves picking up "invisible" items to progress through the level. Don't worry; the signs indicate exactly where everything is. Download the level in the main post!

Amalgamation VI (a level that is very hard to type correctly) is here! Unfortunately, Go'way won't be releasing Amalgamation IV for the foreseeable future due to a complete lack of motivation, so Amalgamation VI is here after being done for a long time.

The main post has been updated with this level.

Neutral Gear - it's finally here! You don't have to do ANYTHING to beat the level. Chill out and watch it unfold.

Preview: imgur.com/a/g7XnzO8
Download: www.mediafire.com/file/fnzg67tdaegi5p9/NeutralGear.zip/file

NOTICE: Because this is a Rube Goldberg level, the level may "break" at certain points. This happens because your frame rate fluctuates as you play the game. If Neutral Gear does not behave as intended, check your frame rate. The level was tested at 30 FPS and 60 FPS, so try capping your FPS at either of these if the level breaks consistently.

Frantic Obstacle Ultra Rush, more formally known as F.O.U.R., will pressure you with a four-minute time limit while testing how well you can perform with agility, powerups, and hazards.

All the levels look so similar, but how different can they be? A Slight Distortion takes five Marble Blast Gold levels and makes a few slight alterations that have a potentially big impact on how beat each level.

My last level before the new year (which is not the new decade because there was never a year zero) is titled "Is Up Any Higher?". This sequel to "How High Is Up?" aims to be longer and harder, but it is also a lot fairer than the original.

All levels released after this one will be built in Constructor except for special occasions.

Technically, there are two ways of counting decades. The new year will start the 2020s, but not the 203rd decade:

If anything is missing or incorrect, please let me know because I have not uploaded a Constructor level before.

When you can't decide on a good name for a level, do what any sensible person does by literally describing the level. Deca Deca Lengthy Corridor describes this agility level perfectly--ten tiles wide, ten tiles tall, and a lot of tiles long.

Is Up Any Higher? The Remainder is the true ending to "Is Up Any Higher?", containing eight challenges that didn't make it into the main level for technical reasons. The level was the intended ending, so it will not make sense if you have not yet played the main level. If you have not played the main level yet, I highly suggest that you play it before you play this level.
