Obstruction Complete + Review!!!

First of all:

*inhale*

aaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I SPENT WAYYY TOO MUCH TIME ON THIS LAYOUT DJLRJWLJWJW

ok sowwy .n.

But anyways I stalled on this layout for months and months with short periods of productivity in between. Ever since Anuar asked for this layout earlier this year I’ve been on and off this layout whether it’s building, bugtesting, or ing.

So I’m glad to finally have it finished.

~~Now, on to the level~~

Overview:

Obstruction is a grey-colored, dual filled, somewhat-buggy layout that I’m proud to call my best work.

Most of the level is spent is 4x speed since the song is fast (what do you expect from an F-777 song). And even in the parts between the drops, which are typically supposed to be slow, the level is spent in 2x speed.

The level is split up into five parts, those being:

1. The Intro

2. First Drop

3. Second Drop

4. The Intermission

5. Final Drop

~The Intro~

The beginning of the level is a slow sections that has many vehicle changes. Back when I started this layout I tried being unique and building outside of the grid but it just ended up looking bad.

~First Drop~

The first drop for the most part is symmetrical duals. It stays like that until you come across a Wave/UFO dual. The wave in this part is a bit tricky but it’s still pretty fun. After that there’s an asymmetrical spider dual and then a simple Cube/Ball dual afterwards.

~Second Drop~

The second drop is when the level gets fun (mostly because of the song). In this part I used lots of orbs, portals, and, most importantly, s l o p e s! I really like how this part turned out in the end, it’s definitely my favorite part of the level.

~Intermission~

The intermission is the “slow” part between the second and the final drop. This part has lots of frustrating timings that caused most of my deaths while ing. I’m not really happy with the way this part turned out but it’s the best I could do with slow gameplay.

~Final Drop~

The final drop is the last part of the level (obviously ya stoopid catto). Here, the song goes all out and just goes crazy, so I had to match the layout with it. The final drop has crazy asymmetrical duals, lots of portals and bounce pads, and some fun sync. I think the duals in this part are the fastest I’ve ever built.

Who’s Involved:

Since I’m obviously not finishing this level, there are other people who are working on Obstruction.

Anuar

The level will be decorated by Anuar. He has said that he will probably decorate the entire layout himself but eventually there might be others helping.

Tato

Even though I put time into clearing the layout in one run, I am not going to be ing the finished version. That job goes to Tato. Even though Tato isn’t active anymore in GDA, he still took up the role as verifier while the layout was still being built.

Conclusion:

Anyways, that was Obstruction. I think it’s the best layout I’ve made so far and I hope to make greater and better projects in the future. I’d like to say good luck to Anuar while he’s decorating all my weird structures (sorry for all the slopes. I’d also like to wish good luck to Tato while ing the full project if it ever comes to fruition.

Thanks for Reading. Buh-bai!
