i tried it. ||there are some funny trolls, but i'm not seeing a way to beat the level. i assume that was the case with most other players. grCry ||

#

Thank you! Follow up question: ||did you get to the part of the level with a message? were you able to do anything with that?|||

subtle wharf
#

|| i did. i tried it, but it just lead me to another softlock in the lower right corner. so i tried to not hold right the whole time, but i'm not even seeing where the package and goal are to be able to find some other way to finish the level. ||

uncut crypt
#

||thanks, a big worry was that people didn't get the message or tried long enough.|| a question(also a hint, if interested): ||were you able to find something/a lead at the end of holding just right?||

Appreciate the feedback so far, I think it is a matter of clarity for next time.

subtle wharf
#

|| all i found after holding right was the dead end where there's a budd-e and you die and are trapped by invisible prize blocks in the lower right corner. i guess that's not a softlock... whatever you call that. a hardlock? lol ||

#

|| like i tried exploring down here, but didn't find anything ||

#

Responspe to image: ||yeah mostly just decoration||

subtle wharf
#

yes. that's where i end up. || is it not a dead end? because i don't know what i'm supposed to do there. i tried grabbing everything lol ||

#

[instructions unclear] grLUL

#

i don't know if it's possible that the latest patch broke the level some how? or am i just not getting the hints?

uncut crypt
#

It's still possible, I just tested it. I think it's likely just my method of writing hints/instructions

#

Here is the solution: ||Grab the other blue gem||

#

Really appreciate the feedback!

subtle wharf
#

||do i have to be flying in the air while doing it?||

uncut crypt
#

Would you be ok with putting a clip of that part, or streaming playing this? I understand if you can't

subtle wharf
#

sure. hang on

uncut crypt
#

||Ah, there is another blue gem||

subtle wharf
#

oh. || so there's a hidden one i'm supposed to grab? ||

#

ohhh hahahahahaha

uncut crypt
#

Yay!

#

||for both hints I softlocked on purpose so people would restart. but i guess i didn't specify in text for the 2nd hint like i did the first 1||

#

Thanks again for helping me debug/understand

subtle wharf
#

yeah, that's pretty obscure! i can see why the clear rate is so low lol.

#

|| i can see someone just reaching for that first blue jem and getting it by accident (i wonder if that's what happened for District Yellow), but i wouldn't have thought to try it myself just from the grab sign at the other softlock. ||

uncut crypt
#

||Didn't even think of people solving it by accident lol. I think I'll have to emphasis "Restart" or just tp people back to the start. Tho i'm not going to edit this one since it's already in the tower.|| Thanks again.

subtle wharf
#

no problem!

subtle wharf
#

A new troll builder appears??? Dang, I wish I played this on stream! I really like it!
@zenith notch is probably the best person for feedback on troll levels.

My 2 cents on it though: The trolls are funny, the setups are good (as far as I can tell), I really enjoy the ||"ummm actually you have to hold right at start"-meta. There were no obvious cheese/exploits I could spot (except for jumping over the yellow key door, don't know if that's cheese though). The only thing I had some trouble with was understanding the final clue (grab at blue jem) but that might just me being dumb as well. Maybe putting a path-box around it might help or smth. Denying me top dunk made me chuckle. grLUL ||
Hope to see more troll levels from you in the future! And I'll play them on stream next time!

subtle wharf
#

||i also got a good laugh out of the top-dunk denial. :)||

Thank you! I'll make sure to tag them next time.

|| I think you're right that I do need to make it more clear that something is a clue||

||Jumping over the yellow door, i did that on purpose for 2 reasons: 1. to make the key feel obsolete, and 2. there's multiple trolls with the vacrat/door, and one leads to becoming stuck there.||

I have other troll levels / levels with trolling, albeit maybe shorter. I think I have some levels that would go well on stream, i can recommend some if interested ( :

||The lectroshield troll also doesn't activate if the player grabs the lectroshield from above the platform||

||The 3x3 fire appearing over the yellow door isn't actually enough, people can still jump around that||

||The final hint is definitely too obscure. I only worked it out by solving backwards after beating the level a different way||

Overall I enjoyed the level, it has some good stuff in it :)

#

||electroshield bypass: i hadn't thought of that!

jumping over the fire: I didn't even know about that

3/3 for hint being too obscur, def will do better

Thank you very much! ||

#

|| there's a lectroshield troll?? Lol. I always just grabbed it. But also you don't need it. You can just bounce on the bumper once while you wait for blopfush flapjack to pass by ||
