#level concept

[mixing0]

As promised, here are some of the ideas I have in mind for my Sugary Spire level concept: "JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!!"

Firstly, since this is the Sugary Spire equivalent of Oh Shit!, you gotta have the pipes in there.

However, because the level takes place in a lab, I changed them to elevator shafts. Big suction tubes that take you from place to place.

Unlike the completely opaque sewage pipes, these ones will be see-through, and allow both you and other enemies to see exactly where Pizzelle is. (Shown here by a Gumslime, not exactly the best example...)

The second gimmick of the level is the Jetpack, which will work exactly the same as it did in Freezerator. Depicted here are a few design alterations I thought of.

And these are the replacements for the ice blocks! I've changed them from ice to giant hard candies that Pizzelle smashes through with the jetpack. They come in many flavors and colors, but offer no real changes.

And finally, the new enemy for the level: Guardfruit! (Hyphen to be determined.) He's a big, burly grapefruit dude with a strong punch. Why is he here? Who hired him? Nobody knows... but what we do know is that he's pretty much the SS equivalent of Mini-John.

Concept for a level series I want to make in the upcoming game, Restiched!

Just got an idea for a Sugary Spire level theming.

It's pretty much the antithesis of Oh Shit! in almost every way, and possibly with a bit of Peppibot Factory in there as well.

The level is themed around an overly sanitary research facility, and would use the same pipe mechanics found in Oh Shit! to traverse the level.

Both levels are meant to be an eyesore but in different ways. Oh Shit! is an eyesore because everything is disgusting, whereas this level is an eyesore because everything is... horrendously clean and tidy.

As far as new mechanics go, I thought about something involving mirrors initially, but that seems like it would be a bitch to try and implement, so that didn't go anywhere. However, this could possibly still be implemented as part of the look of the level rather than having a functional purpose.

I think something spoofing off of the Pizza Box transformation or the Sticky Cheese transformation could realistically work for the theming.

I don't have a name for this level concept, much less a type of candy or sweet to base the design off of, but I like what I have here.

This is an idea I had of what If I had a Level in Psychonuats.

Most of it is how I look in my mind Vs reality. Like when I’m happy about myself I’m like the ideal version of me: a colorful princess with could like hair straight out of a fantasy world.

When I’m sad/depressed I look paler and zombie like.

In reality I look in between those two people.

My Level would share similar themes with Mabels bubble from Gravity Falls. It’s about how escapism can help in moderation but you have to face the real world at some point.

Game play wise it would have a similar mechanic as Reality 2.0 from Sam and Max. We here on the same level it changes between my imagination and the reality of the mind. The level would be a childhood playground mixed with places like pump it up. But when Raz uses clairvoyance from my view the mind looks like a dnd fantasy world.

The dnd world looks real except the occasional foam sword and giant dice forming hills and mountains in the bacground.

For example:

Foam pits=water

Bouncy house= castle

Swing sets, punching bags, monkey bars etc= platforming obstacles

Climbing walls= mountains you have to scale by climbing or wall jumps

The censors look normal but in the fantasy world they look like goblins with clubs.

I would see Raz as a healer mage.

Level #2

In this level the mechanic of the standard engine is explained. After equipping the standard engine, I.D.O. can now roll up small hills and if he get’s some momentum he can use slants to jump over pits and holes in the ground. If he were to fall down the hole, he would respawn at the beginning of the level.

Some gameplay elements for a temple of sound. When you activate several tuning forks the glass wall shatters.

Finally finished a new full illustration. Remember my illustrations with the little elephant Bamboo? This time he's back in some new adventures and ideas! -Currently I’m trying out some 2D game backgrounds and level concepts. What do you think of it? C&C are welcome.
