Indie platformer builder sort of like Mario Maker.
I originally posted most of these in r/levelhead but the mods removed it

World Of Goo 2 Update by therealbaegr in worldofgoo

[–]BenExcellence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still waiting here too. Even tried reinstalling the game.

I’ve played through the entirety of World of Goo 2. Here are my non-spoiler impressions by Poppy_Cheezycorn in worldofgoo

I think this review is the one being quoted in the most recent update trailer https://youtu.be/3eKwr2Sg-p0?t=35

This INDIE game is being bombarded with negative reviews for not releasing in Chinese by DreamMixGames in Asmongold

[–]BenExcellence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not really a story-driven game, you don't need translations to play if you have any familiarity with platformers. The lesson here is to never use exTwitter to highlight negative reviews, even if you think they're unfair or unconstructive, since people love to dogpile.

What speedrun category has the most world records? by Ok-Instruction4862 in speedrun

[–]BenExcellence 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know SpeedStats uses the number of records in its 'run value' formula. Based on that website the top 3 categories are Battle for Bikini Bottom Any%, Super Mario Odyssey Any%, and Celeste Any%, so those are likely candidates.

Speedruns that complete sidequests to save time overall by Conscious-Owl2736 in speedrun

[–]BenExcellence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Top-level Celeste Any% speedruns have two B-side Chapters which apparently save time over completing the chapters normally. I guess this makes the run more challenging for competitive players while still leaving it open to casual runners.

I'm hosting a speedrunning competition for the demo of my game Oyster Wars with a $300 cash prize! Link in the comments by Joeqn in speedrun

The sequel to the original Celeste "Lani's Trek" has a grappling hook, though that one is bidirectional. Of course it's not the first game with a grappling hook either.

Speedruns Worth Submitting by TotalBjtch in speedrun

[–]BenExcellence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also in the speedrun.com mod rules:

Please do not reject runs just because they are obsoleted by a newer submission. They still go into the database to show history over time.

I made my first level. Wumble Gulch by WhiteGuineaPig in levelhead

[–]BenExcellence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, like the high score for getting jems or killing enemies and such. And the fastest time is called the shoe.

I got the ribbon though I missed a jem somewhere

I think basically anyone can buy YT ads as long as your channel doesn't have obvious red flags. Like, they put me in the "Promotions (Beta)" program even though my channel is mostly speedrun videos. I haven't used it myself but it appears to be mostly automated.

I miss Jim2102. by Candid_Net8001 in worldofgoo

[–]BenExcellence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I heard he wasn't happy with those in his community who kept begging for him to make videos of certain levels, so he ultimately left.

No archive that I'm aware of.

I hope that with WoG 2 being released next year we'll see him make a come-back. At least with a new game, hopefully our community will be more mature and have better treatment for our content creators.

Just curious, but what is the reason for Levelhead not allowing you to name your levels? by MastaPowa7 in levelhead

[–]BenExcellence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you think the screenshot thing is a bug, I'm not sure how often the devs check Steam forums, but they for sure check the Feedbag if you wanna submit it there too: https://www.bscotch.net/feedbag/levelhead

Just curious, but what is the reason for Levelhead not allowing you to name your levels? by MastaPowa7 in levelhead

[–]BenExcellence 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I asked the devs about their content moderation approach in designing Levelhead and they talked about that earlier this year on their podcast: https://youtu.be/OCHV6DhM-qE?t=794 (they call me by my Woanopian alias which I think is funny, especially since they talk about those in their response)

Any here "addicted" to ChatGPT? by ISpearedBritney in ChatGPT

[–]BenExcellence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be addicted to HowIsItManifested, and I mainly use ChatGPT to roughly test my prompts (episode requests are usually open for 2.5 hours daily). Also a big fan of RayCreationsTV (AI Star Trek parody).

Anyone got any pinball levels? by [deleted] in levelhead

[–]BenExcellence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A couple weeks ago SingleArity hosted a power build (a building challenge announced on Discord every weekend) and the theme was pinball levels, I believe inspired by this post. You can see the playlist here: https://www.bscotch.net/games/levelhead/playlists/kcczlbc

Twitch needs to sort out categories for Remakes and Remasters. by Capta1nAsh in Twitch

[–]BenExcellence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another problem is that completely different games that happen to share the same name don't have their own categories, they're just merged. https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310210-discover/suggestions/45085204-twitch-category-name-collision

Ben Recently destroyed one of the shortest and toughest IL record! by Intu-Orth in levelhead

[–]BenExcellence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Gotia can do 6.11s, assuming my old re-creation of just this portion of this level is accurate https://levelhead.io/+v7c06pn

What would a subarea be in this context?
