This is one of the better levels I have seen. However, it still gets critique, but not much.
While I am surprised that the Evil Eyes are unsuckable, which is good, the level still has a shading blur. You can get rid of this by selecting the inside part of the level, inverting the selection, and deleting. The mountains in the background could also have a little tweak. My suggestion is that you should blur them, or if you don't want to, go to the colourize in the image layer, and set the value to something such as 128,128,128. Also, the trees should be black.
But one of the other issues I have is, aren't we using StarCastler's first level?
Updated OCD, added spikes along the walls, centered the pipe, and changed to gooey goo's updated image. Hopefully this will be the final version
I also really like Sampson's first level, I vote for that one to be first
EDIT: By the way, we should be keeping track of the levels we are making, so we don't lose any. I've been keeping the ones for this project in a folder. Levels:
Sampson375 - Landing
Philiplolz - Sneak Peak Level
Jim2102 - Climbing
StarCastler - Cave Of Old Tech
Gooey Goo - The Mighty Blue Blimp (Concept as of right now)
First, when we post this on the chapter, this stage will be later in the chapter. Also, to fit the chapter, the art will need to be snowy.
(the pit, decorations, and possibly change the leaves to snow?)
Second, ADD SOME TIMEBUGS. I was raging at your stage because I had made 1 mistake, and I had to restart.
Third, you might wanna change the name. "Climbing" doesn't seem to fit the stage anymore.
Anyway, that's it. I thought I'D do the criticizing for once. (HA Gooey Goo!)

There's a thing called a time difference, like an 8-hour time difference.

Well, since this is a new planet, we'll need a couple new species of goo. Otherwise, it might not be as interesting.
While ivy could stay the same considering it landed on the island, other goo balls should be changed with differences.
Here's a temporary list:
- Frozen Pokey: An icy Goo ball. It has 5 strands, is undetachable, and burns when in contact with fire. It is also sticky. The goo ball is a light cyan in colour, and somewhat vaguely resembles a 5 pointed star.
- Ice ball: A base Goo ball. It's pretty much
Maybe it's too late to ask, but could we not use the beta mountain image for the chapter, or at least make the chapter more hill-like? I mean, AP used it, I used it after him, it's just a lot of snowy mountain chapters (and I think it'd be cool if there was a mountainous chapter without snow, but chances are we won't do that).
Hm... I see what you're trying to do... but all the levels in the first chapter don't have to be snowy! We could move toward ground and have some grassy levels (and move up or not again, depending on the story).
Plus, I have a level idea, but I'm waiting for philiplolz to release his new gooballs.
Alright well, i'm considering taking a break from this project, as my levels seem to be doing worse one version after the other and we just changed chapter 1 to snow, so now it doesn't really work
Sorry if you're having a tough time, Jim2102. But you will get there! And to correct you, you're not getting worse, your levels are getting better, bit by bit (and I think some criticism is mentioned at different times, despite being issues throughout). But seriously, I think you're improving, which is a good thing!
As for the other thing, maybe, since it'd be a mountainous region, the snowy levels could be higher up.
Thanks gooey goo. Yeah, I guess i'll just take a break for a few weeks from making levels, and start coming up with ideas and concepts
EDIT: I have an idea for how the game could end. So i'm 100% positive were going to use Sampson's storyline, correct? If that is the case, then here is my idea. After the gooballs defeat WoGCorp, they break into one of WoGCorp's facilities and find a rocket that can take them away from the planet. I have an idea, but it's kinda difficult to explain it at the moment. They use the rocket and take off into space, then a cutscene happens. "The gooballs were drifting through space, when, SUDDENLY, the rocket is pulled by the gravity from another planet, and the rocket crashes there, but luckily the gooballs survive, END CUTSCENE" (To be continued in a possible WoG 3/fan expansion, sometime in the far future?)
Hopefully, you guys like this storyline idea. I will try to come up with some more. Any suggestions are appreciated!

When the Goo Balls crash land, I think that should be a fifth chapter, like the NotWog2's third chapter.
My first level (for this chapter, possibly)

Criticize, if you'd like.
The link is private, you should make it public.
Also, the edit button exists. You should try it out
I made goomods.
Try it now.

Yes...we'll just have to see what happens I guess.

So... who's level is gonna be first?

I do have some comments on your level Jim2102

So wait, what is this first chapter anyway? How did we get to the snow?
The first chapter is called Sky-high Mountains, from the beta version of World of Goo.
Where were you? Did you not see the chapter ideas? We're doing Sky-High Mountains as our first chapter. (based off the beta WoG)
But, if you do change your art (make it snowy-er) then we could add it as a level for our chapter!
I'm sorry I've never really looked at the beta much, I just didn't understand how we got snow. I get it now.
Do you want the Frozen Pokey to explode or just pop?
It'd just pop. Maybe slowly, but it wouldn't explode. Same applies to the ice ball.
I made goomods.
To gooey goo-
You had asked me before if I had a prior account to this one, and yes, I did have one, but it was old, and I had forgotten the password.
So I made this new one. Just wanted to answer that (my prior account is Sampson373)
EDIT: Also, I'm making a chapter map for our game, not the buttons yet, though since it's not clear how many levels were using.
Maybe it's too late to ask, but could we not use the beta mountain image for the chapter, or at least make the chapter more hill-like? I mean, AP used it, I used it after him, it's just a lot of snowy mountain chapters (and I think it'd be cool if there was a mountainous chapter without snow, but chances are we won't do that).

Here's how we could sort these stages-
Snow-
1. Sampson375 - Landing (Jim2102 also agreed)
2. Unknown
3. Unknown
4. Unknown
Land-
5. StarCastler - Level Concept 8
6. Unknown
7. Jim2102 - Climbing
BtSnow-
8. Unknown
9. Unknown*
10. Unknown*
11. Unknown*
12. Unknown
*wanted these levels inside the hole of the mountain
(yes, it's a big post)
Hey, want a level inside a mountain? I actually just made one like that
Also, I can definitely tidy up that 'ol level concept and make it into a new level. I'll try to do that soon.
Thanks gooey goo. Yeah, I guess i'll just take a break for a few weeks from making levels, and start coming up with ideas and concepts

Ok yeah thats better, I agree

A basic idea what we could do for our first chapter.
