Rayman level 08: Pencil drawing workshop

 In Rayman´s Designer engine, the A to B typical goal of a platformer videogame is also accompanied by a primary task of collecting blue orbs called "tings", normally 100 tings you must collect if you want to reach the goal sign and consider the level finished. As that, you can take advantage of the mechanic by creating obligatory paths that could be left behind if it wasn´t for the obligatory collectibles that the blue tings are.

I am explaining this because all of my levels designed here have this property. As a special trait exclusive from my creations, I also made another optional collectible which are 100 dark blue tings scattered across the map. These dark blue tings have the function of guiding you across the level, they aren´t mandatory to collect and don´t affect the game whatsoever.

    Another vertical map, short and focused in one or two tropes. This time on two, as the name suggests, this level has a lot platforming with the event from the IMAGE.MAP pencils (moving or not). Also, as a secondary tract, it also has plenty of "falling enemies" trope here.

The level starts with a block group of erasers, with the lowest bottom of the map being flooded by moving ink (instant death), here it gives a tease of what´s about to come with two moving pencils "floating" on the ink river. Rayman has to  go there for collecting one ting (and a superpower if he wants too). Once returned to safe land (rubber land), it´s time to ascend using the first line of pencil platforms. We´ll reach the first checkpoint here. And after that is where we´ll have to avoid the first falling enemies.

The remaining of the stage will be a series of jumping from pencil to pencil left, right, up, right, left, up again path. Only at the end things change avoiding falling pencils instead of falling ball enemies and moving across bouncing rubbers.

Video showcase. Wanna learn how to draw by pencil?

Then this is not the video you were looking for!! (Still, I can teach you, though...)

Ok. This level has many pencils. And it rains Ying-Yangs bouncing balls too!

PS: Screw the legit gameplay!
