Levels You Would've Loved to See in CCLP1

[Ihavenoname248]

Well, here's my short list of levels I'd have liked to see in the final set that didn't make it (primarily mine, admittedly, but that's what I'm most familiar with!)


Alcknalkcxa - This is the one I'm most bummed about. No one else seems to like this one!

Cluster Two - As far as upper difficulty puzzles go, this would be right at home in a veteran pack... or late CCLP4. That ship sailed though


Decrepit Crypt - Had a good run, but ran afoul of other fire themed campaign levels such as Fire is My Enemy doing much better.

Internally Inconsistent - Wasn't deemed interesting enough for a pure sokoban level. I kind of agree, but at the same time I like how small variations in design can make a larger change in solving.

Puzzle Solver on a Tight Budget - Just wasn't picked as a time crunch level with Shemozzle and Air Bubble in play. Oh well.

Ragged Mountain - In hindsight, I should have pushed for this over Life is Not a Puzzle harder. (or Beautiful Struggle, which it plays more similarly to). Well, at least it's a lock for the next community pack, basically


Wastelands of Tabora - Pushed out by a combo of easier dirt themed levels in One Who Raids Tombs and Secret Underground Society, but honestly probably would have been a better late-game pick than the two levels mentioned under Ragged Mountain.

Josh's list:

Shuffling - got pushed over.

1 Speckles of Silver- Josh Lee

10 Skydiver's Maze- JB Lewis

12 Vertiginous Landscape- Josh Lee

18 What's Wrong with This Puzzle- Andrew Menzies

28 Roy G. Biv- Andrew Menzies

44 Compactor Reactor- Josh Lee

Here's some more stuff I forgot about that I'd have liked to see. Ultimately, Poly-gone was preferred to Speckles of Silver (though I actually had both and not Air Bubble in my original picks, due to Shemozzle+Puzzle Solver as time crunch). Skydiver's Maze didn't do as well as anticipated, and Vertiginous Landscape was another Josh campaign level and another force floor level.

What's wrong with me for forgetting What's Wrong with This Puzzle, which is still my favorite sokoban level ever- but unfortunately, it did really poorly in voting. Roy G. Biv would have been better suited for CCLP1 I think, but could have fit in CCLP4. The main concern was tileset incompatibility, where the gimmick fails depending on what people are playing with. I don't agree with it, but hey- it's still a great level!

Compactor Reactor and Cold Fusion Reactor battled. My inferior level won somehow. It was funny how Josh and I both were supporting the other persons' level here

Security gates by Markus O

Gravelways by Markus O

Tank you very much by Eddy Limb

Blue ridge corporate center by Eddy Limb

The incredibly safe maze by Andrew Menzies

All of these were bounced around at some point, too! Security Gates in particular I really wished made it in as it's a puzzle itemswapper that subverts so may expectations about how it's going to play out. Gravelways has some clever puzzles and would have made a strong 147 IMO, though Gimmick Isle and even Lounge Act had much better support. Tank you Very Much was a potential tank level, but nobody really felt strongly about it. Blue Ridge Corporate Center was similar for gliders and would have been a bold route for James to annihilate because it has glider cloners, and The Incredibly Safe Maze was the same for invisible walls, but Empty Rooms did better.

Collateral Damage, Cluttered Crosswalks and Forced Circuit were all close, but there were similar enough levels that they just didn't fit this time around.

[Sparkman]

I thought I was the only one that enjoyed Vertiginous Landscape.

I like the whole "gravity field" design it has, and I feel it hasn't been done all that much.

Gravity Well is good and all, but it doesn't have a campaign design within it like VL did.

That's exactly why Gravity Well was included- it wasn't a campaign level for the sake of variety. The two levels were very closely ranked.

I guess variety is a good factor.

If CCLP5 is a thing, perhaps VL might be a good candidate.

(It could also work in CC2 actually)

[Flareon350]

Okay, here's my pretty short list of levels I would have loved to see in CCLP4


Shuffling - this is the most obvious one and I was pretty much the only one fighting for this one to be included, but everyone else felt it was too rigid for the set. Not something I agree with but it still holds as a fantastic level in my eyes.


Dave's Warehouse - very underrated and unique sokoban level that I wish did better in voting.


Colorblind Dog - didn't do well in voting to be considered but was a very good key puzzle level.


Tanking Performance in the Tank of Tanks - was another potential tank level but was ultimately shot down early on in discussion.


Takedown - very nicely designed Zane campaign level and a fun one too. Despite doing very well in voting, it wasn't a strong pick for the rest of the staff. Admittedly, I wish I fought for this one more instead of Lockdown


The World Has Turned and Left Me Here - a very good puzzle/manipulation level I felt got unappreciated during construction. Looking back now, I would have preferred this over MSI.


Flock of Block - another awesome sokoban level, just didn't fight that hard for it (probably because I was busy fighting for Shuffling)


Sandstorms in the Underworld - probably the only level of mine I actually wish got in (aside from Ragged Mountain over Life is Not a Puzzle now) and this was a potential paramecia themed level. But I think the linearity of it is what caused it to not be considered. I don't actually remember.


Airport Security - deemed unnecessary due to Bodyguards/Bisection but I still believe this level did both concepts better and probably would have been the smarter pick looking back (1 level in exchange for 2? Yes please!). Did exceptionally well in voting as well!


Puzzle Solver on a Tight Budget - I think only Jeffrey and I kind of pushed for this level would have been a great time crunch level but Air Bubble was preferred (not that that's a problem with me).


Idle Contrast - amazing concept done right, compared to Suspended Animation. Some people didn't enjoy the simplicity of it but I loved it. Though, I now prefer Jeffrey's version of the concept, so you better submit that for CCLP5 consideration


Toggle Task - very good toggle wall themed level, just didn't do so good.


Conveyor Craze - why this didn't do better is beyond me. This concept is amazingly well-executed and was extremely fun to play.


An Exit to Remember - R.I.P. initial level 1 choice!

If I remember right, we determined we didn't need a full paramecia level because ??? and the level didn't do well enough as a campaign level aside from that, especially with the dirt theming.

Though this reminded me that I wish Way of the Paramecium did better- the final CCLP4 really did lack a tough dodging focused level... Greenian Motion, Seeing Red and Japanese Game Show come closest but the first two are more contemplating how to dodge, and the last doesn't really feel like a dodging focus when playing. But I do see why Way of the Paramecium did poorly- it's lengthy and difficult, even with being able to tackle the sections in any order
