Bask in the...

cheese ball, tried-to-hard-to-be-funny, standard rules of game making breaking... etc.

Yeah, this is for the humor comp.  It's kind of like the Daffy Duck cartoon where Bugs is drawing the cartoon.  Perhaps I'm underselling my self.  I think it's funny, but I have an odd since of humor.   :crazy:

Very cute! I liked the beginning most of all, strangely. But the rest was good too.

Also, I cried a little when Juni mentioned the "Underwater Lab" tileset as the most overused in history, because that's what I used in Pestilence , and I didn't realize it had that effect  :sigh:

@lamarblake: glad it had that effect man!  :)

@yohji: honestly, I just heard someone somewhere say that on the forums and went with it.  I haven't actually played enough levels to know if it is true or not.  :) 

IMO the most overused tileset is tileset 6 simply because it shows up in every single noob level ever made. Er.. at least, I think.
Lurk more.

Tileset 6 is Not Quite Dr. Cliche's Underwater Lab. It's the set you start with when you create a new level, no wonder it's used so much.

Back on topic, I never thought such a badly built level could be so enjoyable. Clever and funny.

It is? I thought it was medium praise.

I forgot to comment on this when I reviewed the level on the competition thread, but I agree with yohji. The first part was funny as hell. The intro screen cracked me up XD The rest is also very good, of course, and the ending was great.

I'm curious, what about the beginning was funny?  Or how far in are you considering the beginning?

No, you don't have to go through that screen. Just jump up when you land on that small ledge and you'll be shifted to a different screen.
