It's a nod to a particular knight who had to kill one.

Ruins and Temples I would definitely like.

Given the popularity of Kancolle around here, why not Battleships.

(Yes, I realize we have already done Airships, but this is different enough, maybe some people could have some outside-the-ship areas underwater as part of the level.)

Lawl it's all people that hardly LD so I doubt that's a valid reason

But hey, it sounds interesting.

I think a cool theme would be having a level that revolves around cannons an firing to other areas and enemies. It probably could go towards Battleships or some other battle type LDC too.

(Yes, I know nobody's commented here for a month but I wanted to give an idea.)

The problem with that is there really is no background to the theme at all. You just place cannons and fire yourself about. Hardly a story.

Say it once, say it again.

Themes need to be specific enough for us to compare every level together, but also broad enough so that anyone can do anything that suits to their styles.

The problems with themes like cannons and stars and ♥♥♥♥ is that you can DO cannons and stars and ♥♥♥♥ IN themes like grassland and desert oasis or whatever. But that's not everyone's style, so you'd be forcing them into a gameplay style that isn't theirs.

I still propose a theme like "Power Caps" as well as I'm not against a theme like "Cannons". We already had Fire and Water. Those two also required increased use of a certain item as well as fitting gameplay with them. You can still make your beloved stories as well as others can make their beloved pure platformers.
