This level was made by Zgucon over at newgrounds, and is actually an improved version of what was apparently his first attempt(which you can find buried in the reviews of the Seppukuties game at newgrounds, but I prefer his latest version) It's a breeze to get through the level, but getting the A rank requires you to do a little bit more thought and understand the core game mechanics of Seppukuties, but isn't too much harder.

This is one of the few levels that took me more than 2 or 3 tries to figure out how to beat. It was made by MrBlueDragon at Armor Games. Once you figure out how, it's not too bad though, the hard part is recognizing what is actually a dead end and what is actually a neccesary sacrifice. Now if you REALLY want to challenge yourself on this course, try beating it with only 1 death. It CAN be done.

Here's my level. I originally planned to add more keys semi-randomly, but decided to go with this. Opinions and suggestions are welcome.

I beat it with an A rank, though it took quite a few restarts to get it.. I suppose I should shoot for 0 lives, but getting that mid-height, far-length jump when you're coming off of a slope is really difficult.

It's interesting, sometimes activating a key will help a little, but sometimes not. I did find it quite irritating that getting the first red key would essentially kill all chances of getting the acorn.
The only thing I can really recommend is to put more random keys down BELOW, so that you can still push a troublesome platform back in position, but only at the cost of a life. Specifically, make sure the number of red keys is even, to avoid having that platform locked into a position that makes the game unplayable.
I know it sounds a bit hypocritical considering the levels I've made, but the ability to create an unbeatable scenario in this game is a major turnoff; Structurally it's very simple, even though it's quite difficult to navigate successfully, but because of that simple structure, I was left feeling like I was constantly repeating a single task. This heightened the frustration of finding out the level had fallen into an unbeatable scenario.

Hope that helps.

New level up, this one is by Firedraco from Newgrounds. It's not too difficult to figure out, for some reason it stuck with me. i'm not entirely sure why. Definitely good for those peope who are finding my levels to generally be too hard for them.

I missed a few days, so I'll be providing a VERY special level in roughly 6 hours after I finish posting this level:

consequences is a lovely level by Freakeye, over at newgrounds. This level is an excellent balance, not quite too hard, but not too easy either.

You can do a LOT of amazing things with seppukuties, the level editor is really incredibly flexible. However it's not perfect, and there are certain things that it just won't let you do. That doesn't necessarily mean that those things are impossible to do though.

As it turns out, every seppukuties level text code is not encoded at all. This means that it is possible through experimentation to piece together what each individual letter and number in that character string means. This also means that you can directly modify the code, sometimes even breaking rules that the Seppukuties level editor enforces.

Well, it'll be easier to just show you:

Factory. Nice. A rank. Respawning keys! Continuously moving platforms! I don't know how you do it. Moderate difficulty. I felt you could've shortened those top platforms a bit to make it a little tougher. Also maybe higher the lava ceiling then add some spikes here and there to put it to good use. Sometimes the platforms would stop moving after an indeterminate amount of time. I think you have to get the red key a certain amount of times to prevent the platforms from stopping, but I'm not entirely sure what the trick there is.

I think i died a little inside

I actually passed level 2 without killing an animal, i tried with level 2 but.. but.. i couldnt do it =(

Sorry I've been gone so long. finals were kicking my butt over the past week. To make up for that, I'll be doing a triple header today, and with some of the best levels I have to offer.

First we'll kick this off with a level originally by someone else that I modified, the original was a fairly simple level by this-is-eskimoe at newgrounds:

It's reasonably designed, but I felt so much more could have been done with it. So I modified it to become this:
