The Good, the Bad, and the Sackboy…Episode 1

by wexfordian

The character portraits and camera angles at the beginning are innovative; I like how the level introduces your Sackperson. I haven’t tried the two-player section, but its very existence makes the level seem more professional than a typical community level.

The moving barrels that launch you have an obvious Donkey Kong Country flair. The web of elastic bands and the clips that you drag along one platform are really unique. Each of these and other interactive elements are intuitive to use because the parts that you grab are made with the same red and black material. This consistent highlighting is one thing that makes a level more playable and fun.

The design and functioning of the train is professionally done, and the creator has included a helpful block in case you fall off of the train. I think this level is the best of the trilogy.
