Generic Free Halloween Mod Points Post

In my last post I told you to play some Halloween levels in order to celebrate October. Of course this may be a challenge if you don’t feel like looking it up on YouTube, so I’m going to make generic filler to entertain you all. Let’s get into the post I guess.

#1 Sheol

Magmatic Sanctuary wasn’t the only level to use Panda Party. A level which steals the name of some demon did as well. The level is short and doesn’t have the best gameplay, but it’s more or less the design that matters. The beginning has some decent effects in the background, but nothing too special. There’s then the part where you put on a Jeff mask which I feel like looks surprisingly impressive. Then there’s the best part of the level in of design being the forest with the very interesting cloud effect that prevent the section from looking solid blue and black. Then the music is responsible for making the rest of the level interesting as the song gets to the Xtrullor excessive breakdown while you’re ok some random road. When you get to the drop the level sadly ends but the drops just sounds like a generic Xtrullor drop anyways.

#2 Halloween Blitz

This level is a rather simplistic one, but I still like it. It doesn’t use all that much decoration and the entirety of the level is green, but that doesn’t make the level bad at all. All that really matters is what the level does have which is a great remix of Spooky Scary Skeletons, as well as several interesting decorations like skulls, ghosts, and pumpkins. This is also a pretty easy level, but yet again the decoration makes up for the decoration. This was made over a year into 2.0, but that doesn’t stop it from impressing me even if it looked like it should came out in 2015. Good job to whoever made this level though. I’m pretty sure they got a feature from this and if not a feature then definitely a star rating. If only that was the case today

#3 Wysteria

This difficult of the levels don’t seem to be raising as this one’s entirely auto. This level was the second installment in the Triaxis films series which sadly only lasted 2 movies being this one and Behind The Fireplace. First off, the introduction at the beginning with the winding box is quite impressive. The dialogue parts aren’t too special, but just imagine all of the 3D lines it took to make the text and pictures. We are then greeted to the Willows Of Wysteria which is one of the best looking parts of the level with the gradient effect on the sky and just the overall look of the forest with the shiny trees in the front and the outlines in the back. There’s then some more dialogue as we transition to the piano section. Keep in mind that this only came out a few months after 2.0. Somehow Triaxis was able to make 4D piano keys to make a piano effect that looks very impressive to this day. Then the level has a dark ending with a bunch of dolls as well as Gracey dying after. Definitely an effortful movie you should watch if you haven’t seen it all ready. Oh wait I spoiled the whole thing.

#4 Ghost House

I would’ve gotten footage from someone else besides Partition but he’s all I was able to willingly find. Anyways, this isn’t exactly a Halloween level, but it’s a ghost level which is mostly associated with Halloween. Since I’m a Mario player myself, this level seems pretty accurate. The background looks like an actual Mario ghost house, the special blocks from ghost houses are there, and the decoration is definitely decent and Mario like except for maybe that pair of yellow eyes in the crack of one of the crates. There’s also some variety in the level where you are taken to some area with a wooden background with a bunch of crates, grinders, and chain comps and well as some confusing but interesting gameplay. There’s then a checkerboard background at the end which seems rather empty but luckily the darkness and background flashes are there to save the level fork it’s emptiness. Then the level all of a sudden has a solid brown background with the only decorations being some wooden platforms, boos, and cobwebs. Doesn’t stop it from being a great level though. I wish it got featured sooner then it did because it took way too long for Robtop to notice it.

#5 Tick Tock

Look who appeared on the list again! Tick Tock seemed to be ahead of its time with art that most would think wouldn’t be possible to accomplish in 1.9. There was only 4 colors back then but this level definitely took advantage of that feature with some sections that look like they were made in 2.0. My favorite part of the level has to be the wave section with the bricks that look like they weren’t even made in 1.9! This level is also similar to Wysteria in that is has a lot of scratchy and solid art which was common at the time. Some of which was very impressive like the windows and chandeliers at the beginning, the chairs and tables towards the end, and the car somewhere where I forgot. If resources were used this wisely back in the day, just imagine how wisely they could be used now. Of course we have a lot more to work

with than back then, but the level still used what it got not caring about limits. For crying out loud there’s was shading and even move illusions! Why can’t we have levels like this one nowadays? Triaxis and everyone else who worked on it did a more than excellent job. Also the dolls from Wysteria seem to be inspired by the ones at the end of this level.

I’ll probably be ing Halloween themed posts at least once a week leading up to GDA Halloween, a fan fiction I’m super excited to make but will probably turn out weak in the end. I have an idea for 1 more Halloween post. Hopefully I can think of more before October ends.
