A question - I was making a level for the duel with Four, but since that was scrapped, can I finish & use the level for this contest instead? It is only a third done so far, if that makes a difference.

A word of advice to everyone else - considering the non-restrictive style, try to veer away from predictable themes. Too many people went with generic ideas like plains for the 15th LDC (which is similar to this in that any theme is viable), and entries need to stand out in order to do well.
Will do sporadic level reviews on request - PM if interested. I will only do one level at a time. I tend to be rather critical.

What if I use a space theme? :troll:

Also 5 bucks says Nan/Mod will not let you use your level. : P

^That was unnecessarily harsh. Next thing you know the guy will be throwing away people's finished or half finished duel entries over someone else's mistakes :P

But, yeah, Volcove. It's been, like, the most constant rule in LDCs- don't bring forth a partially completed entry. I wouldn't allow it either, to be honest (but do complete it- it looks incredible).

On that note, just to make it clear- I AM NOT RUNNING THIS LDC. I won't even be announcing the results in the contest. I'm just going to be judging, and that's only cause I'd be playing all the levels anyway.

On another note, I've got a solid start on a sexy sexy level. :)

@ Yoshi - Still overdone, although it depends on how you do it.

@ Nan - Don't see why it justifies such a style of reply.

Wait I didn't mention it, but...

I'M IN.

With a two-levels-series that is going to kick a**es hopefully if school is not killing me

Dimension Infinity? Plastic Beach? That was nothing compared to this.

I'm sorry... I'm not gonna be talking like that anymore. It just seemed so funny at the moment, but I did't realize how harsh I was being.
Some day I'll fix my sig.
