24th Level Designer Contest

Hello everyone! I'm hosting for the second time.

The theme of this contest is...

THEME: show
Image

Yep, a Jungle/Forest theme. After last time with the Alternate Dimension theme, it's time I used something more simplistic. (Thanks for the banner BTW Amp)


Now for the rules, very similar to the last contest's rules:

-Level series are allowed, but I will allow a maximum of 5 parts.
-Make sure the level fits the theme. Expect disqualification if it doesn't.
-Limit the profanity. Younger audiences play this game.
-Collaborations between 2 people are allowed.
-You cannot have started your level before the contest; it must be started from scratch.


Judging


10 points: Fun
Did the level entertain you? Was the story good, when existing, did it ruin the gameplay too much? Were there some extremely fun, annoying or frustrating parts?

5 points: Graphics
Does the level have cutoff? Did it make your eyes cry of luck or uglyness? Were the tiles and items used wisely? Do different tiles and items fit together or do they just look ugly? Is there decoration which is used in a good way?

5 points: Other
You start with 3 points. Points get added or reduced for everything which doesn't fit in any of the two categories or just stands out. Lag and loading time also give or reduce points here. Some judges also give/reduce points for a good music choice.

You judge out of 20, which will be the overall score. Judges may or may not leave a comment below the final score.

The judges for this contest:

1. Yoshi Boo 118
2. Nwolf
3. lordpat
4. MICrophone

Backups:

PM me if you wish to be a judge, backup or otherwise.


Deadline:

The deadline for this LDC is July 1st, 2013, 12:00am EST. You have more than a month, and the level should be done by the end of June. I will consider extensions based on the circumstances. As usual, post levels in the separate Level Vault.

Standalone Level Designer

Good luck! (and please don't turn this topic into an argument about the LL contests not being here yet, I can promise you they'll be coming very soon!~) :D

Thanks for making this just when I was almost done with a Jungle-themed level. :?

Regardless, I think I'll make something new for this. No promises though.

I will be entering this contest for I have the possibility of getting a medal and having fun, which is after I make a level that is good enough. Expect me to work on a level that is Jungle-themed, since that is the theme. ... ... ... ... Why are you even trying to read through the strike-through?

Count me in.

I don't want to say much, because it distinctly says not to go offtopic about LL, but I just have to say this.


Why another SM63 contest? It's not like the LL fans haven't been begging for one since the update.

Now this most likely means that LL won't get any contests until this one's over.

I'd join this if my computer didn't express its distaste for SM63 every time I run it...

Runouw said he was going to host the first one, but he hasn't been online for over a week, so I don't know how that's going.

I think I'll give this a shot. I won't be able to work on it much until college is out.

I know, but why can't we host 2 LDCs at once? I doubt anyone has a problem with it. The users just have to make a simple decision of
"do i want to make a level in LL?"
or
"do i want to make a level in SM63?"
