A Hat in Time (Custom Level)

A 3D platformer all about going through platforming levels and challenges to collect time pieces. Below I created a custom level using the game's level editor, which acts as a modified version of Unreal Engine. 

Inspiration

This level is inspired by two other custom levels created for this game, with them being Time Rift Zone and Balloon Bash. Time Rift Zone focuses on speed by using a Sonic hat mod to make the player go faster, and Balloon Bash focuses on platforming with balloons. The main idea was to combine aspects from both of these levels, focusing on platforming with tons of speed without relying on other mods to make that happen.

Blockout

Since I had an editor to work with, I did the blockout phase within it, adjusting platforms and balloons each time I played through it. This allowed me to quickly make changes to the level as I could immediately see what worked and what didn't. Since the balloons in the game are fairly small, it was extremely important to iterate upon the levels so I can place them in a way that allows the player to keep their momentum and continuously chain more jumps.
