Eversion Challenge Levels Playthrough

And here is a full playthrough of my Eversion Challenge Level Set.  It definitely gets tough.

Eversion Challenge Level Set


Eversion is an awesome platformer by Guilherme S. Tows available for free on his website.  There is also a deluxe version you can buy for cheap on Steam!  You play as a little flower(?) guy, and you whimsically bounce off cheerful goomba-like enemies as you make your way to the exit.  Pay close attention to discover areas where the sky slightly changes color and other music can be heard, as those areas allow you to evert to a parallel world.

I have used Fastcall22's level editor to make a complete level set designed for people who have finished the original game and want a new challenge.  I put a lot of love into it!
Here is a preview:






To play it, first download the original game, here:
http://zarat.us/tra/eversion/

Pay attention to where you place your Eversion folder, as you will be replacing some files. Also, I'd strongly recommend playing through the original levels before starting mine.



Next, download my maps, here:

Replace all the contents of the Eversion "maps" folder with the new extracted files.



After that, you need to download one more thing:

Replace the contents of the "scripts" folder.  These files are courtesy of Fastcall22's EversionMod, which allows advanced editing of the camera, doom walls, etc.  It's not necessary for simply playing the game, but if you are interested, the page for his Level Editor and EversionMod are here:

That's it!  Run the Eversion application and begin playing the new level set.  Thanks for checking it out, and I hope you enjoy it!

Hello!

My name is Kevin, and I love to design video games.  And by design, I mean in the barest of context.  I haven't done much actual programming, but I love to take advantage of level editors and the like.  I am putting this blog together to chronicle as much of my work as I can, and to make it more available to anyone interested.  Also, if I can figure out how to, I'd eventually like to post videos of playing games I enjoy, perhaps with commentary.  Thanks for visiting!



Work I'd like to upload and/or post video of, off the top of my head:

  • Eversion challenging custom level set
  • Lode Runner: The Legend Returns massive, co-op, nonlinear 75+ level set
  • RPG Maker game on PS1.  15+ hours of content, worked on for over 10 years, with maps made on an old AD&D program.
  • "Paper Game" - My overhead, multi-floor "Metroidvania" maze with powerups and puzzles, all hand-drawn on grid paper.
  • Timesplitters: Future Perfect maps... all kinds.  It may be impossible to make them accessible to the public for play, but I'd like to at least showcase them.
  • Super Mario World custom levels, resembling the originals with creatively ramped-up difficulty.  Unfortunately, I would need to remake most of them at this point, due to a tragic reformatting of my computer.
