Deadline: Over! 27th of March, 11:59PM UTC-8 (PST)
Theme: Anything Goes

Hello! This is the Fifth 25quared Contest - a special occasion; the next Major Index of 25 doesn't come up until 25 itself! You'll be able to brag that you entered this one.

This is where you design an SM63 25x25 level and post it in the Vault! After the deadline, our judges will rate the entries over a week, and then we'll be announcing the results and handing out some sweet awards!

Thank you, FF.

Nan's sig! From the previous Secret Santa event!: show
Rating standards: show
1 star: (0 - 5.75 in LDC) These levels need a lot of work. They're totally un-elaborated, and/or inherently flawed due to things like cutoff or enemy spam, or they're untested and there are too many bugs gameplay-wise, in short: Many many things went wrong in such a level.

2 stars: (6 - 9.75) These levels are not terrible, but poor. They're too short, lack scenery or they have errors and/or bugs but it's still barely enjoyable. Again, spend more effort and try to do better. (if it's your first level that I rate two stars, it's not bad. There's a long way you can still go)

3 stars: (10 - 12.75) These levels are about mediocre. They may be still a little bit short, the gameplay is fine but not very original and graphics are also solid, but not breath-taking. Try to keep improving!

4 stars: (13 - 15) These levels are nice, but not the best. Effort has been put into them, there can some professionality be seen in gameplay and graphics, they're a nice experience to play, but there are still things you can do to make it even better. Try to go the extra mile!

5 stars: (15.25 - 20) These are really great levels, those which, as said, I would give more than 15 in an LDC. These suffice many high requirements, and it already goes into subtleties if you want to make them better. These levels are successful all around. Bravo.

These are just general principles I try to follow when rating. Sometimes I don't leave a further comment when rating, most times I do, if you have questions about it, feel free to ask further.

Hmm...I might give this one a shot. I've got spring break so I'm sure I'll have time to do it.

I'm going to try to implement the disabled rotating blocks trick Raiyuuni posted about. I've noticed pros and cons about it too. It does well with decoration, but it puts an invisible barrier above or below the spot at which you placed the block due to the speed.
Well, if I learned anything from FMAB, to obtain, something has to be given in return. That's what happened to me with the disabled rotating block trick.
