Looks Great!
The projectiles do seem slightly slow… Maybe it would be harder with multiple monkeys.

The shield function without the stick seems to just turn off the arm's animation. For example go into a level without the stick hold shield and then jump, the arms don't move. Perhaps you need a stick or something to shield and it should be disabled without it.

The shield animation with the stick looks very similar to the ready to attack animation (I notice now the stick is slightly more vertical) I think it should use two hands on the stick in the shield animation.

Not gonna lie the e3 entity with arms is absolutely terrifying.

Anyways I like the new level art.

1) OPENING CUTSCENE:
- His eyes open, close up on the face. Next shot is slightly more zoomed out, showing him sitting up, and his eyes widen. The final shot is the widest, with character in the bottom middle of the screen. Meanwhile, the rest of the screen shows the beach stretching out for miles with shipwrecks everywhere.
2) The SHATTERED BEACHES area is discovered, and the PROLOGUE starts.
3) At the end of the prologue, the character finds remnants of a campsite, lit quite recently, and finds a diary entry. This diary entry explains how the writer has just been wrecked on the beach and that they were going to explore the island further.
4) The JUNGLE LEVEL starts.
5) Cutscene after that is him stumbling upon another campsite in a clearing, with a sword and a diary entry on the ground but shockingly massive crevices leading into darkness litter the clearing. He picks up the diary entry, but before he can read it, the ground making up the clearing rumbles and collapses, leaving massive holes in the ground, with monsters climbing out. He picks up the sword.
6) The FORBIDDEN EXPANSE area is discovered, starting the next level.

Hi! My name is Rez, I hope you are still hiring.
I would like to apply to be a level designer (Platforms and art) for Drifter.
If it helps I will leave a 1-10 scale on all of my skills:
Level design (Platforms): 8/10. Coding: 5/10. Art: 6/10. Math: 4/10. Music: 1/10.
I am very interested in collaboration because I have little music and math skill and need partners to do roles I cannot do, I also enjoy being with people.
I will be very active since I log in almost everyday, 9/10.
I consider myself somewhat skilled in forum posts. I can add scripts, bump threads, add links, and quote people, all without getting a headache!
But I do not know how to snip forums.
I am following this thread and the game since I heard about it 2 or 3 days ago.
My main reason for wanting to join is that I want to work on a big game, and see how it turns out. I have tried making games but they have ended up badly due to mediocre coding or lack of original music. Plus I think Drifter is very cool!
Hope you accept,
-Reznor

here's my idea of what level 4 would be:
Crystal Depths
The player finds a cave in the jungle. He looks up and see that its almost nighttime (is there a sprite for the character looking up?), maybe the color of the sky changes from blue to orange mid-way through the jungle level? Because of that he decides to enter the cave to see if he can pass the night in there. The player stands in the middle of the cave. He hears a rumbling sound and the screen shakes, then the floor collapses. You fall and roll down a really steep rock slope for about 8 seconds when you finally land on flat ground. TC (the character) struggles to get up and then you gain control of him. This level would be vertically oriented as you try to get out of the cave through the hole you fell down in.
I think its a good level idea. Tell me what you think!
