These levels seem kinda rushed though...

Especially if the LDC's only been opened for two days.

@ Blab ...well, you have a point on how bold and italic would be helpful in making sure there's no misunderstandings in the way we perceive the instructions... you know what, you can do that. Just no colors/fonts and stuff.

@Mp3- not neccesarily, this is an easy theme. But, just a tip, guys- you have plenty of time for editing. :3

@Mazes- actually, there are some good mazes in SMW- I.e. the ghost houses. And it's not neccesarily left-right, in SMW, Ludwig's castle was more of an S Shape. In fact, SMW2 has a lot of these levels. So go ahead, do it in any shape as long as it's a platformer.

@skjung- no, of course not! But the right music choice may get you an extra half point (or lose you a half point if, say, you put SM64 Princess Peach Castle theme in DOOMLAND II-THE SEQUEL OF TERROR. :3 Also, the merit or scolding is on the JUDGES' part. Not to be planned by you.

Update: Mine is...5% complete. :3

It's getting there, though. I'm putting more effort in this level than even I thought I would!
Crazy, I know.

Now it's going to be some pretty simple platforming, but there's going to be a bit of a twist to it which I will not spoil here. Will leave that as a bit of a surprise if you don't mind. :P

And thanks for the verification, MOY.

Mine's getting there... I have to finish it before I go on holiday. But can I just ask something - does it have to be long and interesting to win or can you win by your level being short, fun & original?

Also, do level mods still get to enter as long as they're not judging?

The whole thing I'm pushing here, MP3, is to do whatever you want! I'm not gonna discriminate, one of my favorite levels of all time was short and clever! You pull it off and you could win! And any of the judges can enter if they don't judge themselves, hell, I'm entering!

OK lol, thanks. I was kinda confused to start with - but I definitely have a clear idea of what I wanna do now.

Err... mine's really slow loading but once it's up and running it's not laggy it all. I can't change it, because my level's already 50% done and if I try to erase some stuff it takes as long to erase it as it does to load it.

Mine is...0% done. :troll: But I'm starting right now.

Also guys, don't rush, the contest started fairly recently and some are already done! Take you time.

I wish I could. I'm going to have to go back to school soon, and I haven't read the books I'm supposed to read over the summer yet. :/
