"Busy" levels

[quiznos00]

But take levels like Wars?, Metastable to Chaos, Suicide, Lobster Trap, Teleblock and Victim, for example... They give you A LOT of space to work with, and that's sort of what I didn't like of CCLP2 and CCLP3. That's also why I love levels like Cloner's Maze, Stress Fracture and Time Bomb, while I hated levels like To Catch a Thief and Manic Depression, and also the Frog level everyone around seems to love...

Teleblock? A lot of space?

No.

Anyway, I've been trying to do make wide open levels recently, and they've been turning out pretty well. My latest level was originally smaller, but since it didn't take up much room, I decided to make it larger and expanded some of the room sides. I would encourage everyone else to do the same if they have small levels. Opening small levels to the outside is always neat too, like in Lemmings. I've found the amount of openness in Force Square interesting too.

Also, I really didn't find any of the levels you mentioned memorable or fun (except Metastable to Chaos and Victim), but I may be the minority. I'd consider Slide Step as the greatest open level.

Man, if only the map weren't restricted to 32 x 32 squares...
