Posted: Thu Aug 31, 2006 9:59 amVery nice. Almost no reused ideas, no excess of timers, no mass tensioned rubber. Liked the bottomless carts and that little rubber "kick" at the start. Also liked how everything crashed out the way so you didn't use timers to destroy it.
Possible improvements: Make the portal smaller. There isn't much need to have it that big. Maybe move it up in the air as you know the metal bar will go under it.
Overall, very nice. Nothing groundbreaking or super-amazing (like, uh, Force Clockwork, Clepsydra or Rube Goldberg's Revenge) but nice and original - you didn't fall into the trap of having 50 or so timed tensioned rubbers, just like most of the other levels*.
Admittedly, I was slightly disappointed by the end rubber-interconnected-with-anchorpoints. I would've prefered a 1337 Drop-esque rollercoaster-type or a chain 2 flexible catcher.
So, uh, 7/10. Using the "I just made it up right now" rating system.
