I was about to freak out badly because I realised I was late to this and then noticed it had only been up a day and I have pretty much a month to make a level. Brill <3 I really have no excuse this time lol. I will start the brainstorminggg

No of course not lol. That'd just be a giant lump of tiles. Whatever you make has to fit within a 25x25 region, though, an area of 625 tiles.

If you really wanted, you could only use half that space... or even less. But 25x25 is already a heck of a challenge, so I wouldn't recommend it. :p

Basically, as long as your level dimensions are 25 by 25, you can put as much or as little in it as you want.

Okay, cool. I didn't want to completely cover my level with twisted wire. That would get messy.

Although, if you WERE to cover all unused space with twisted wire, and had a story excuse for it, 25quared WOULD be the best format for that (not bogging down the engine with anything larger).

Fun fact: Boolord's Mini-Quest did indeed fill all space, even though a significant part of it was background tiles

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.

I think I might be done. All I needed to do was reduce the lag and get rid of unnecessary objects once I finished the layout. 20 frames seems okay. WAY better than 7.

Honestly I'm not planning to do this right now, in the meantime I'll be coming up with a SM63 level soon. But I'm not going to really touch this contest.
