I have a upcoming interview for a World Builder position for a upcoming 2D MMO.

I'm collecting and burning through as much content as I can, to get ready for the interview. What games(I'm looking for 2D games) have you played where the level design really stood out.

Please post any game where the level design stood out to you, it could be from visuals, technical or both.

So my first job in the industry has come and gone: I worked on the now canceled Pirates: Armada of the Dammed. Lay offs are part of the industry so I guess its best to get used to them early in my career (Hopefully the "sting" will get less and less each time).

While at Prop, I was working so much(loved every moment) I didn't have time to work on anything for my portfolio.

So now that I have time, here is what I have been working on -
