A CRUSHING, SOUL SHATTERING TROLL Level

[@SomeRandomPuzzlePiece]

Oh, something actually kinda somewhat interesting about this level, I originally wanted the part at 31:42 to just be an actual BLJ cutscene thing so I made that track, tested it out, tried it out and saw that it flug me backwards instead of working and was like "okay, in what world could I not use this as a troll?" Edit: Another kinda interesting fact, the subworld checkpoint room uses 54 sprites, I even brought my switch to school and used sheets of paper to take notes on how every contraption in that part worked, it broke a lot but also does a few more things that the video doesn't even show, if you don't grab the flag at the end it CP1s you and takes you through a whole new little path where after the CP1 you play the first part again and the level can be beaten from there without doing the entire level

[@donovanloreman]

This is the best troll level ever. I could hear Dave losing what was left of his sanity

[@SomeRandomPuzzlePiece]

I mean that's not really what makes a level good

[@albinocat]

@@SomeRandomPuzzlePiecethat’s what makes a troll level good tho

[@SomeRandomPuzzlePiece]

@@albinocat What makes troll levels good is basically a mix of creativity, outsmarting the user, frustration when intended but not overly done, and the difficultly coming from outsmarting the trolls and not how hard they are to dodge the second time. This is an early version of the level that kinda fails all of that

[@albinocat]

@@SomeRandomPuzzlePiece idk I thought it was pretty cool at least, it is a bit too confusing though, I will say that

[@SomeRandomPuzzlePiece]

@@albinocat Yeah, well for working on this for a year I was kinda disappointed with how it turned out, and especially with what I put DGR through here. To be fair it was still in playtesting, but, you know

[@jacobydefense6432]

Great level. Great video. Dave is so kind he lets us all enjoy his suffering weekly.

[@pkmntrainermark8881]

It took Dave way too long to try just picking up the Bob-Omb...

[@SomeRandomPuzzlePiece]

Yeah lol

[@Reaktron88]

This is one of the most evil troll levels I have seen. There might as well not even be a safety coin because you will key death anyway, or sometimes double keydeath, and go back to the first version of each of the rooms. It is very unclear where you are supposed to go after getting the keys, and you realize that the the red coins are useless the second time because you actually only need 1 key, which is given for free. And after all that the level just gives you a hint to where the ending was and you could have beaten it much quicker.

[@SomeRandomPuzzlePiece]

Finally someone realizes the true silliness of the after keydeath sections

[@Reaktron88]

@@SomeRandomPuzzlePiece But wait, you're the creator? So you made this troll level intending for it to be really silly and bad?

[@dave6012]

Not even kirbs could snipe that record 🏆

[@SomeRandomPuzzlePiece]

Actually, this is random but I think the WR would involving intentionally dying during the level. I think for the WR you would go through 1 room after CP1, get CP2, jump over CP1 and then die. During uploading I would be able to beat the level from CP2 in just 16 seconds due to the knowledge checkpoints

[@MightySeagull29]

One of the best parts about DGR is his facial expressions. Absolute gold

Newsies is super good. I played Jack Kelly a few years back and had the time of my life.

"don't put that in youtube" is dave's code to his editor for "definitely put that in youtube"

That was a fun and awesome stream as always! Also, as always, thank you Chris for the edit!

[@saraross8396]

I love Newsies, but I saw it when I was older, around 13 or 14 maybe. Your kids are probably a little too young to appreciate it now (the overall story is a bit grown-up after all), but perhaps they'll enjoy it when they're older.

I’m not even sure that softlock was intentional, Dave is just good at finding them 😆

[@SomeRandomPuzzlePiece]

It wasn't intentional, Dave played an early version where that softlock hadn't been found yet. Funny enough that area that he got softlocked in was designated for a hint in Version 1 that Stevo thought I should change, so I tweaked that area but left the unnecessary space because I didn't thinking about it, it's removed in the current version 8, but VERY VERY technically, Stevo put that softlock there :P

Technically they're allowed, but I didn't intend to put them in this level. DGR played this level while it was still in playtesting so he found a softlock that I didn't realize was in the level until he got softlocked

This is the purest form of trolling: simply make conditions to trigger assumptions in people, then reveal they were wrong, then do it over and over and over again. Only someone who knows all the secrets could clear it in a decent time. That’s possibly how the dev made it through this monster they’ve created without losing their sanity.

[@SomeRandomPuzzlePiece]

Bro the CP room made me lose my sanity more than Dave lost his, I had like "Physcopath notes" on all the ways the different paths and contraptions interacted and I took 6 pages of notes on it while making that part

[@SomeRandomPuzzlePiece]

Oh, and yeah, it's designed so if you get CP1'd at the end you can beat the level after that first cycle without rebeating the whole level, so it is a lot easier if you beat the level in one try
