Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to

The 27th Level Designer Contest!

It's INCREDIBLY warm outside. Sadly, Fire was already done hur! So what could be done to tell the weather that we do not like it (or that you actually do)? Correct, you stay inside, cool off and enter this month's level designer contest with the fitting theme...

wait for it...: show

Water!
(A banner might or might not follow)

This theme allows for a great variety of levels! Want to make a sunny beach? Make a sunny beach! Or want to make an underground lake? Make an underground lake!

As long as your level features water as one of the main gimmicks (read as: It doesn't have to be underwater all the time) you are fine!

And now the lame part!

The rules!

• Thou shall not make a level series longer than 3 levels!
• Thou shall not have or at least limit any profanity or heavy insults in your level! This game is also played by younger people!
• Thou shall not use a level made before the LDC start!
• Your level must fit the theme!
• Thou are allowed to work with another person, but only two max.! That means no team of 4+ people!
• Use the level vault to post your level in!

Judging

10 points: Fun
Was the level entertaining? Was the story well done and connected into the level? Were there extremely fun, frustrating or boring parts?

5 points: Graphics
Does the level have cutoff? Did it make you cry because it was so beautiful or horrible? Were the tiles and items used wisely? Do different tiles and items fit together or do they just don't look well? Is there decoration which is used in a good way?

5 points: Other
You start with 3 points. You add or subtract points here for stuff that doesn't fit in Fun or Graphics or was so awesome that it has to be noted here, like a very well done boss. Lag, loading time and sometimes music choice often influences this category too!

That gives us 20 points: Overall

time to maybe enter

WOOHOO!!!
Or well ...
This is also embarassing. Looks like the WITBLO11 Tribute can wait right now. And there's also stuff like exams etc. that I'd have to sacrifice a bit.

Nonetheless, I'm quite sure I will enter, I like the theme and I already have something on my mind, but implementing it properly will be challenging.
Good luck everybody and let it be a great contest!

Edit: Meanwhile I'm 100%ly sure to enter...

Yay, I was waiting for this theme! Count me in. Aiming for a 3rd place this time, so my trophy collection will be finished :3

Fantastic.

Entering, I'll try to make a non-series that's awesome that won't win the LDC but will be better than Hell's Rebellion. :3
...or is that impossible somehow...

I would like to settle for 4th, 3rd or 2nd this LDC, that's the aim. I might just go simple like I did in the 24th.

MP3, just go for broke. Try for 1st place.

I know damn well I'm gonna try that. :3

Just do your best. Have faith in your own skillz. You are the Queen of LDing for a reason.

I don't wanna win because I won the last LDC, and also I like the attention to go to newer winners. :3
I will try my best though, but I'll try my best with one level. Hopefully then something will beat it but it will still be WITBLO worthy and then I'll have plenty of time to make a non-LDC series so I can actually have a chance at winning WITBLO as that's the achievement I really want.

So yay, everybody's happy. d(^_^)b

If you wish...

Anyway, I'm gonna make the best water level ever. Just you guys wait. :3

Sure, why not.
