Hello. It's about time I made my first "large, adventure like" level. All the ones before that were just basic levels I posted for fun. Dimension Vexture was my first posted level, VVVVVV In Real Life was my attempt at trying to recreate the main game, I am Back To The Forums was to show I was back to the forums, The LU Level was a collab level I made with a friend, and well designed rooms was like a little activity I made to keep you guys busy (nobody has replied yet  :victoria:  :victoria:  :victoria: )

Anyways, this level was something I have been working on for a week or so. I managed to beat it in 17-18 minutes with all 20 trinkets and around 70-80 deaths. I put all my heart in this, and I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did while making it. It also requires CE, apparently.

Story: You start off in a new dimension, wondering where your crewmates are. Then you enter the Tower of Power, and in the second room, there is a terminal that says "01" on top. This means that you need one trinket to proceed, which is collectable by going down, and then going back. When you go up, you arrive at the first floor, and there is another terminal here, this time saying "02", requiring 2 trinkets. You already have 1, so the next one is collected by going to the right, and when collected, destroys all gravity lines in the previous 2 rooms, and because one of them required gravity lines, it is impossible to go back (unless you use invincibility). So, you have to go down, bypassing what you just did. When at floor 2, there is a terminal that says "03", requiring 3 trinkets. You need to go left to find the 3rd one, so you go up, then left again to collect it, which will destroy the warp wall. Next is floor 3, which has a 4 trinket gate. To collect the 4th trinket, you need to go through a path of spikes, and at the turnaround, you will find the trinket. Floor 4 has 2 gates: The first one requiring 5 trinkets, which allows you to complete the tower, and the second one requiring all 20, accessing a secret lab with a Super Gravitron. Anyways, to get trinket 5, you need to go through this warp zone like shaft and then turn back again. Then you reach the top of the tower, which houses the blue keycard. To get it, go to the left, turn back, and then open the gate to the right, which should take you to a teleporter that allows you to finish the Tower of Power. You then get teleported to a warp station, with a terminal teleporter that takes you back to the overworld. Once you have the blue keycard, you can enter the Space Station, a place with enemies, platforms, and conveyors. At the end, you collect the red keycard, and you find another teleporter that takes you to the warp station room as well. When you have the red keycard, you open the gate to the time machine, which send you back in time to 2005. Back then, the dimension looked very different. The Tower of Power was under construction, and there was no Space Station but rather a tower like dimensional tunnel that takes you to the polar dimension, with 2 trinkets. When you arrive at the polar dimension, you have the option to go to the Gravitron, or use the warp token above to skip it. After that, you disable the dimension by using the stabilizer. At the end, you find another time machine that takes you to 2010. It also restabilizes the dimension. At the end, there is a warp token that takes you to The Tests of Courage, 6 challenges of different gimmicks. At the end of the last test you find a warp token that sends you back to the main dimension. Things are now very different from 2005. The Tower of Power is complete, but the dimension tunnel is completely corrupted and broken. If you go up you will find a lab with enemies and gravity lines. At the end of the lab, there is a terminal that deploys a space station, completely turning the lab into a space station somewhat similar to that of the main game. At the end of the station, you get teleported to the ship, where you get alerted from Vermillion that Victoria is trapped in the lab. Violet tried rescuing her, but she gets nausea from the gravity lines. The lab is rather short, with a trinket similar to that of the last trinket from the main game's lab. The teleporting fuzz at the end that takes you to an overworld. There is, however another one that can take you back to the ship. There is also a trinket. Anyways, there is another dimension tunnel somewhat similar to Space Station 2 from the main game. Like the first one, it has 2 trinkets. It also features a DTTHW challenge. At the end, there is a warp token that takes you to another polar dimension with another stabilizer. At the end, (have I said that too much?) you collect the final trinket, and then you go to outer space. You then shortly get teleported to the ending room, with me as the crewmate.

GOSH THAT IS SO LONG

Anyways, Levels:

Tower of Power: A tower with four floors and a blue keycard at the very top, plays Positive Force. The main gimmick is trinket gates.

Space Station: A simple space station that is 3x3. It has what space stations would normally have, conveyors, platforms, and enemies, plays Pushing Onwards. The main gimmicks are platforms and conveyors.

Dimension Tunnel: A very tall tunnel with a variety of tilesets and colors, plays Positive Force. Its main gimmick is autoscrolling.

Polar Dimension: An alternate dimension that looks like a grey warp zone, and has a stablizer that controls the dimension's stability, plays Predestined Fate. The main gimmicks are platforms and gravity lines.

Tests of Courage: Six tests of different gimmicks and tilesets, plays different themes. The main gimmick is a bit of everything.

Laboratory: A rather quick lab with enemies and gravity lines, plays Potential for Anything. The main gimmick is gravity lines.

Space Station 2: A second space station that somewhat resembles SS1 from the main game, plays Pushing Onwards. The main gimmicks are platforms and enemies.

Laboratory 2: A second and shorter laboratory with a gravitron and a trinket, plays Potential for Anything. The main gimmick is gravity lines.

Dimension Tunnel 2: A second dimension tunnel that somewhat resembles SS2 from the main game. It features a DTTHW challenge, plays Positive Force. The main gimmicks are platforms and conveyors.

Polar Dimension 2: A second polar dimension that is the key to finishing the level, plays Predestined Fate remix. The main gimmick is gravity lines.

Great level!

Really enjoyable, just the right difficulty, you except for the symmetry room, that was too hard for me. I need to practice and try again.

I love the time travel theme, really interesting.

Good job Uli, can't wait to see what you build next!

Thanks!

I can't put zip files here, so I guess you'll have to go into the editor and modify the room yourself.

Thanks again! The level is actually inspired by another level from 2016 called "Viridian to the Future" by VC7 and Vultarix.

And thanks again! Here's a hint of what level will be next: A level requiring amounts of exploitations and glitches.
