Oh yeah, damn. My judgings:
Nworlds:Fun –
6.75/10. I really enjoyed parts of this but some just felt really frustrating and it was hard to feel it enjoyable at times, especially in the secret room. But most of the first section was quite fun which is why I didn’t mark you down too much.
Graphics –
4/5. No cut-off, well done. Though some of the cave tileset was a bit uneven, maybe take more care placing it next time?
Other –
4/5.
+1 – Hardly any lag or loading time, congratulations.
-1 – Some parts were very difficult (especially in the secret room) and I also died a lot of times there. But only some.
+0.5 – The length of the level was nice.
-0.5 – I think you needed some more blue coins in the first section.
+1 – The music fitted the level well in my opinion.
+0.5 – I liked the originality of the shadow lights meeting each other.
Overall – 15.25/20.
DarkBlaze:Fun –
7.95/10. I really enjoyed this. Though I really struggled to find the rocket FLUDD and therefore didn’t get round to finishing this level. Still, it was fun.
Graphics –
5/5. No cut-off as far as I can see. I think you really succeeded with this.
Other –
3/5.
-1 – The effects of the music fitted OK, but I felt that the level wasn’t very fast in places and the music had a very fast pace.
+1 – However, there was no lag and that boosts the score back up again.
Overall – 14.95/20.
Star king:Fun –
9/10. I enjoyed most of it, both levels were very interesting and really made me feel like I was actually at the seaside. xD
Graphics –
5/5. Graphics were outstanding. No problems whatsoever, no cut-off and the use of tiles and décor was exceptional. Full marks. :]
Other –
2.25/5. (sorry! :3)
-1.5 – Big loading time, it crashed my computer once.
+0.5 – It was organised nicely.
+1 – The music fits gorgeously. Seriously, the only word I can describe it. :3
-0.5 – In the first level, there was an easy way of avoiding the whole challenge and getting the shine sprite and I think you wouldn’t have even needed a FLUDD to get through it.
-0.25 – Some of the items in the second level were half visible because they were so close to the level transition.
Overall – 16.25/20.
SuperMIC: Can’t judge it – keeps crashing my flash plug-in … :/
nin10mode:Fun –
7/10. It was fun near the start. But it just got less and less fun as I proceeded through the level because it gradually got harder and harder. In the end I couldn’t finish it. But yeah, that doesn’t prevent it from being fun.
Graphics –
5/5. Great décor, great tile choice, great everything. I think you did amazingly well with the graphics, definitely your strongest point here.
Other –
3/5.
-1 – Some parts I swear are impossible. I just can’t get past them, no matter how much I try.
+0.5 – I love some of the contraptions you put in the level. It really had a good effect on the level.
+0.5 – Elements of the music fitted the level. Especially the fast pace of the music against the fast pace of the level really worked. Though I couldn’t tell what genre it was really so I’ve left it as just a small boost.
Overall – 15/20.
The Masked One:Fun –
6/10. I quite enjoyed it actually. The level itself had quite a good challenge and though very hard in places I think it was quite alright.
Graphics –
1/5. Sorry for the low mark. But there is a reason. I just kept seeing cut-off everywhere on the grass tileset. And there wasn’t really any yellow coins whatsoever in the level, only blue coins above the lava. Also, the only decoration I saw was on the grass. I think you could’ve put some by the lava too.
Other –
1.5/5.
+0.5 – The music fitted alright. The rock music suited the idea of turbulence but I’m not sure if the tempo suited it greatly. That’s why you only got half the mark.
-0.5 – There was a bug in one of the level transitions. I couldn’t get through to the other side and instead I was just hanging in the sky. :3
-1.5 – I don’t think it was properly complete. There were some areas where I really don’t think you finished. Especially the part with the shine sprite, that didn’t seem finished at all.
Overall – 8.5/20.
Troll-Haunter 3457:Fun –
7.5/10. That was really quite fun actually. Not very, because I got caught in the glitch and had to start again, and it did lag quite a bit. I also lost my way round the place, but I suppose that made it quite fun actually. :3
Graphics –
5/5. Great graphics, no faults. Nice décor, well done.
Other –
2/5.
-1 – This lagged quite a lot for me. D:
-0.5 – Really annoying glitch at one point. I could not move and I had to start all over again.
+0.5 – Nice silver star challenge.
No extra marks – I didn’t quite get how the music fitted … but I won’t take any points off because I did think the tileset was a good choice. Don’t know why, but yeah. :3
Overall – 14.5/20.
NanTheDark:Fun –
8/10. I really enjoyed that.
There’s just one bit I didn’t enjoy – one of the last areas in the second level. It was an amazing section, but the bullet bills nearly killed me several times. But that’s the only down point really.
Graphics –
3.25/5. Most of the graphics were good, but there was some cut-off near the lava (in the first level) and it was also mainly geometric. Volcove gave me the tip on trying to vary the different shapes and types of cave tiles and it really helped me use the cave tileset in my level.
Other –
4/5.
+2 – Oh my God! Is it just me or does that music totally suit the level? That’s the best fit I’ve judged out of all the levels so far – that’s amazing actually. Had to boost you up to 5/5 for that. That is … wow.
-1 – It lagged quite a bit in one of the sections unfortunately.
Overall – 15.25/20.
Karyete:Fun –
7/10. It was fun, because of all the items to move around on. I think you did a good job with that. Though I wish you made it a bit longer because I think that there could’ve been much more to enjoy.
Graphics –
3.45/5. I’m not quite sure what to say here … the graphics of the items and the shapes and sizes are pretty good, but I think you needed some proper tileset in there. I know it wasn’t really the style of the level, but with some more bricks and tiles it could really transform it. Good effort though.
Other –
4/5.
+0.5 – No lag, good effort with items, though the level was quite short.
+0.5 – Good music, fast pace fits with the fast pace of the level.
Overall – 14.45/20.
JSlayerXero:Fun –
7/10. I really enjoyed this. I nearly gave it a 10/10 it was just I think that it reduced in enjoyment at the fact you didn’t finish it. I might be over-reacting, but that sort of ruined it.
Graphics –
4.75/5. Most of the graphics were excellent, there was just a bit in the lava section where the tilesets were a bit all over the place. But other than that everything was excellent.
Other –
1/5.
No marks awarded for music – I don’t know, I wasn’t sure whether to add on points because it sounded alright to the ear but I wasn’t quite sure whether the two themes fitted together. So I’ve just left it.
-3 – Not finishing the level. I know we entered you in anyway, but still, if you wanted to get in properly you would’ve needed to work by the deadline. And it looked like you had only completed 40% anyway, from your post in the vault.
+1 – No lag or loading time problems, well done.
Overall – 12.75/10.
Koopa Troopa:Fun –
4/10. Yeah, some was fun I’ll give you that. But come on now. Half the level was almost impossible and the other half didn’t resemble any skill in challenges, which I can tell you were trying to do. Though collecting were really the thing that kept me entertained in this.
Graphics –
1.75/5. It was clean in some areas but half of the level was just random tiles and challenges next to lava. Then there was a pretty bad effort at a tile challenge in sections of the level and that was almost impossible to get through. Nowhere near enough décor and sticking to one tileset throughout is pretty boring.
Other –
0/5.
-2 – Explain this to me now. How does this music fit the level? (I had to work hard to refrain from using the F bomb here :3)
No marks for lag or loading time – This is because of the size of the level. There is no way you can get enough in a 50x30 level, and that’s the reason why the level didn’t lag.
-1 – Enemy spam especially of big bullies. It makes that area an almost impossible challenge.
Overall – 5.75/20.P.S. No offence. :S
Volcove:Fun –
8/10. It was quite fun, although there were some parts near the end where I just wanted it to finish because it was quite a long level. But that’s just me, I’m not the biggest fan of very large levels. (although I like making them myself
)
Graphics –
4/5. Nice use of items. Except I wish there was a bit more of actual outside tiles. Though I did love the décor at the end with the shine sprite. But some of the castle wall tiles looked a bit like they had cut-off. For example, you didn’t round off the edges and there is a tile for that.
Other –
4/5.
+0.5 – The music fits the level in my opinion but I think the speed of the song is fast and compared to some areas in the level it doesn’t really fit. It’s like they cancel each other out.
+0.5 – Nice use of items, it made the level much more worthwhile considering it was quite long.
Overall – 16/20.
MessengerOfDreams & Venexis:Fun –
9/10. Oh. My. God. These levels are just so fun. I sitting at the edge of the chair through each of them. Great effort, great storyline, great levels. Nothing else to say. But, although I know you’re supposed to die with the shine sprite, I really didn’t enjoy dropping miles and miles to get absolutely nowhere … (in the second level)
Graphics –
4.8/5. Remarkable graphics, no faults as far as I could see. (though once or twice I think I saw a few mix-ups in the castle tiles for bricks. But that’s it.
Other –
2.5/5.
+0.5 – Didn’t quite understand the music … though it was rather haunting. I think it fitted alright.
-1 – You did warn us about loading times but by the end of it I was just so frustrated with it, so sorry. :3 Then there was that little bug that you warned us about but that wasn’t a huge problem anyway.
Overall – 16.3/20.
I will still do the LDC entry SMIC, but I'll only fail it. I can't believe this has happened on Christmas Eve ...
