J.B.'s CC1 Levelset Feedback Thread ("Walls of CCLP1" Complete!)

[jblewis]

The first full set release of Walls of CCLP1 (0.9.9) is here, with 19 new levels that bring the total to 149! I'm holding off on the 1.0.0 designation in case a few edits need to be made. But for now, enjoy the full set! Much like Josh's WoCCLP3, three versions of the set are in the .zip file to download: the intended difficulty order, the wall order (A), and the design order (B).

Okay, 30 levels in and I gotta admit this set is pretty challenging in a good way. Here's some thoughts on the first 6 new levels .

4. Secret Jungle Laboratory- The force floor stairs are fun along with that ball cloning mechanism. More fun than Traveler.

7. All Creatures Great and Small- Had that "Schemozzle" feeling at the start along with a decent toggle stopping puzzle.

8. Predetermination Time! - Nice joke level. "Chance Time" without chance which forces the player to play all the sections.

12. Aeronautical Engineering- The beginning mechanism is unique but I find it to be a bit annoying. Rest of the level was okay.

13. Quantified Nerves- Somewhat of a reference to Condemned Faculty with great force floor puzzles. Little tricky though but manageable

19. Manaan- Straightforward chip collecting level but the walker on (21,16) and the walker at the end were pretty annoying.

Hi everyone,

I'm pleased to announce that the first official set release of Walls of CCLP1, version 1.0.0, is live! For those who have been playing with the 0.9.9 beta release, there are many small changes listed on the download page, mainly time limit modifications. You can see them listed there if you'd like to know more. Thanks to all who have been playing through the set and to those who will be checking it out for the first time in the days ahead! I really appreciate your comments and feedback a lot.

Now it's time to delve into CC2 design a bit more before this submission deadline hits.

Just completed the set and this was a fun and challenging experience. Lots of great puzzles and overall fun game play feeling.

More opinions on the next 5 new levels.

20. Etiquette and Espionage - Very cool thief aesthetics with a great mix of puzzles involving them.

24. (now 53) Sand Through the Hourglass- Man, this level gave me trouble namely the 2nd half section with the red keys! Had to ghost the section through the editor since I was sick and tired screwing up that section. As of now I still don't know how to reach that hint, but overall really really well crafted puzzle. Haven't played the new version yet but hopefully not as rigid as the first version.

51. Ski Resort Town- This level is really cool, no pun intended.

68. Crystallic Fusion Dormancy- Very legit use of the "Suspended Animation" concept. Medium to hard level to me.

77. (now 78) Snowball Park. At first I thought this level was going to be an easy chip under block level but that twist made the level. I have to say that is pretty creative to make that kind of "pathmaking" puzzle. Although the hint is still the same, it would've been more helpful to tell the player how many chips to have left before the skates get stolen. However, I really appreciate that this level is now untimed. It is possible to do the level within 600 second initially but that would've been very rigid.
