Techno Jelly

[wind fox]

A long skull-like level based on Techno Hill Zone from the fangame Sonic Robo Blast 2, where the player must complete a series of puzzles and platforming challenges using the Grow ability and the different kinds of jelly they will find throughout the factory.

This level makes use of a new mechanic I discovered which uses object pins and an object on a movement path/sequencer: Conveyor belts!
If an object on a movement path or sequencer is attached to stationary object pins on all corners, it will pull the car in the direction that the object's center point had been moved to. Objects pulled further from their center point will make faster conveyor belts. Note that the conveyor belts in this level also use an intangible gravity field purely for visual effect.

WARNING: This level includes a sequence of flashing lights that may be harmful to those with epilepsy.

Par Time is 8:30.000.
Dev Time is 7:33.708.
Unique Challenge is Reverse Level.

I'm so fuckin scared right now

this is so cool i wish i was also the greatest human to ever live

[atomic karma]

THIS IS SO FIRE

the custom mechanics are fucking awesome

please make an easier showcase version, because everyone should be able to experience this peak

[wind fox]

But I thought showcase submissions were done now?

Although I wouldn't mind making a nerfed version of this level, because this one expects very good wall-riding skills. Especially during the reverse level challenge.

idk how to do this part

[atomic karma]

||there is a button on the left side of the long conveyor room that drains the liquid||

[umbral hazel]

this could probs be on the skull list

[sturdy radish]

It easier than 8-Skull I think

[wind fox]

After all, I did say this level was a "skull-like", due to its length and the amount of big wall-riding sections.

[hollow tusk]

if there were hazards to the actual sanctity of the run, it'd be a skull. but there's not really a way to die, so not quite

even then I think the level is more engaging and clever than it is a challenge

[umbral hazel]

no the halfway point lets you die

[wind fox]

In the Rising Green Liquid section, getting caught by the green liquid then getting crushed between the solid jelly and an object can kill the car. It's the only car-breaking trap in the entire level, actually.

Traditional Walaber skull levels don't really have any car-breaking traps in them, as their hazards make the car fall down to an earlier part of the level at best, or going out-of-bounds at worst.

@wind fox can i steal the convare belt idea?

[wind fox]

Go ahead.

[umbral hazel]

thanks

[wind fox]

Working on a mechanics showcase, I heard.

[umbral hazel]

as i feel like a level with this mecanic needs to be in the showcase

no?

not me anyways

[wind fox]

Oh.

[umbral hazel]

the cool mecinisums was a thing but i couldnt think of how to turn it into a level

[wind fox]

Right...

[umbral hazel]

if thats what you talking about

the one i posted like a hour ago

[wind fox]

Yeah, I was talking about that one.

[umbral hazel]

yea if you can think of a idea using it pls do make a level with it

[wind fox]

Maybe I could, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to make one as a submission in time.

And I submitted 2 levels so far.

Jelly Adventure, and Tilting Platforms.

I submitted the latter because there was also a unique mechanic there, and that the Switch would not have a problem running it.

[umbral hazel]

fair. i also have summited 2 of my own levels already

as well as the colabs outer then colab 3 witch bringies summited

[bitter harbor]

this is a really cool level overall! I love SRB2 so it's cool to see a level based off it. some sections like this and the rising acid(?) right after really annoyed me though. I genuinely just went into the editor and skipped this part after a while.

[umbral hazel]

yea fair i skiped the rising acid part
