--------------
destroyers grandmaster galaxy - destroyer1
--------------
RATING: 11/20
--------------
FUN: 5/10
It has some nice and difficult platforming in the beginning. It's bit short, though, and the rooms after the red coins seem unneeded.
--------------
GRAPHICS: 3/5
The graphics are okay. The ghost house looks pretty good.
--------------
OTHER THINGS: 3/5
N/A

----------------------------

--------------
The Lunar Crisis - Yoshi Boo 118
--------------
RATING: 17.5/20
--------------
FUN: 9/10
Well, this is one of the best levels I've played in a while! Great length, great challenges. TATANGA. Yeah. The chase scene is terrific. My only complaint is that if you miss the pipe at the end of the chase, you have to ride all the way back; read about negative offset in my block tutorial. :awe:
--------------
GRAPHICS: 4.5/5
It has Suyo's worst enemy, the cutoff lava. But I don't care. :awe: Graphics are top notch. You really made the place look lively!
--------------
OTHER THINGS: 4/5
+ Great writing and plot!
--------------
"Here, look at this diagram. I have scientifically proven that a large astromical body colliding with our planet is, indeed, a BAD THING!" :O
I found five 1-ups. :o_O:
----------------------------

--------------
Bowser's Space Fortress - Alucardx60
--------------
RATING: 13.5/20
--------------
FUN: 7/10
It's a pretty decent level. Good job with the sling stars!
--------------
GRAPHICS: 3.5/5
The field in the beginning looks really nice. The fortress itself could be a little more lively, but it does its job.
--------------
OTHER THINGS: 3/5

The Alignment of Fate - MessengerOfDreams/Venexis
--------------
RATING: 17/20

FUN: 8.5/10

GRAPHICS: 4.5/5
WERMS

OTHER THINGS: 4/5
+ Interesting story!

----------------------------

--------------
Platform Power Galaxy - mushroomario
--------------
RATING: 14/20
--------------
FUN: 7/10
It's a short and simple level. The first hidden pipe is pretty clever.
--------------
GRAPHICS: 4/5
It looks good! Great use of grass tiles and plants.
--------------
OTHER THINGS: 3/5
N/A
--------------
You said there were eight red coins...there are only seven. : P

----------------------------

--------------
Super Mario Galaxy - MRHOTDOG1234
--------------
RATING: 11.5/20
--------------
FUN: 5/10
It's a little short. The room after the left pipe is well-designed, albeit short. The acquisition of the Rocket FLUDD made the top right room too easy, and the bottom right room looks glitched...did you playtest it?
--------------
GRAPHICS: 3.5/5
It took me a while to realize I was standing on a pixelated Mario. :awe: Great use of grass tiles, too.
--------------
OTHER THINGS: 3/5
N/A
--------------


----------------------------

--------------
The Floating Planetoidss - Jac1
--------------
RATING: 14/20
--------------
FUN: 7/10
It's a very solid level, and has some good challenges, such as the lava part. Perhaps some indication that you have to go left after getting the Turbo FLUDD would've been nice; I found the up arrow a bit misleading there.
--------------
GRAPHICS: 3.5/5
The little planetoids look nice. The lava at the end looks a bit awkward, but I guess there's not much you can do about it.
--------------
OTHER THINGS: 4/5
+.5 Wow, I didn't notice that secret shine at first! o_O Cool secret.
--------------
Heh, almost died after getting the shine. :awe:

----------------------------

--------------
Armageddon: The SM63 Level - MICrophone

RATING: 15/20

FUN: 8/10

GRAPHICS: 4/5

Space Pipe Galaxy - Blakunosi

RATING: 12.5/20

FUN: 6/10

GRAPHICS: 3.5/5
Good job with the curved pipes.
--------------
OTHER THINGS: 3/5

----------------------------

--------------
Temple of Stars - zebtrestalala
--------------
RATING: 17/20
--------------
FUN: 9/10
The main level is a bit rough around the edges, but mostly good. At times I felt a bit lost and don't know where I'm supposed to be headed. Then again, you had the best use of advanced techniques in the contest (though you probably should've prompted the player to zoom out during the zero-gravity sections). The flying section was best. And of course, the boss was brilliant.
--------------
GRAPHICS: 4/5
Helios looks pretty wasum. :awe:
--------------
OTHER THINGS: 4/5
+ Great plot and writing! (But it's missing an ending. o_O)
--------------
The boss is "not your best"? Pssh.
By the way, it IS possible to beat. Rocket FLUDD does wonders; in fact, I preferred it over the sling stars. :awe:
----------------------------

--------------
Galaxy X - Animorph
--------------
RATING: 11.5/20
--------------
FUN: 6/10
You didn't need to make those switches last so long if they're used for warping.
--------------
GRAPHICS: 3.5/5

--------------
OTHER THINGS: 2/5
- No goal...
--------------
This level looks promising. I really like the hub/branch layout. Finish it!

----------------------------

--------------
Space Walk - Mr_SaxMan
--------------
RATING: 17/20
--------------
FUN: 9/10
I had loads of fun playing this one. Excellent pacing; it kept me interested through the whole thing. The unfinishedness made me very sad. :X
--------------
GRAPHICS: 5/5
This is hands down one of the best-looking levels I have ever seen. Great job! (Also, I can't help but notice that green goomba off to the side there. :awe: )
--------------
OTHER THINGS: 3/5

Finish the level! I will be waiting for it!

GRAPHICS: 3/5

OTHER THINGS: 3/5

Small design flaw: secret pipes not necessary, platforms can easily be reached with bullets, but no biggie.

----------------------------

--------------
Asteroid Galaxy - OldSchoolGamer
--------------
RATING: 11.5/20
--------------
FUN: 5/10
Too much tedious jumping and redoing sections.

Season Ease Galaxy - nin10mode
--------------
RATING: 17.5/20
--------------
FUN: 9/10
This level made me very happy. :awe: Feels just like a Super Mario Galaxy level.
--------------
GRAPHICS: 4.5/5
Major props for making a spring and winter version of the same stage.
--------------
OTHER THINGS: 4/5
+ Awesome concept!
--------------
Just a little tidbit: the level I originally planned (and mostly finised before deleting it like an idiot) for the first ever LDC (the fire/ice one) had the same concept as this one, except with a lava cave/ice cave (and less well done :X).

----------------------------

--------------
Galaxy Challenge! - PokemonXD
--------------
RATING: 9/20
--------------
FUN: 5/10
I like the concept, but it wasn't pulled off very well. Very unpolished.
--------------
GRAPHICS: 2/5
Tiles have some awkward cutoff.
--------------
OTHER THINGS: 2/5
- It looks like you misplaced Mario's starting location...
--------------
After the first challenge, you can very easily guess where the shortcuts are; some ground leading to the beginning of the challenge rather than a bottomless pit would've removed the need for shortcuts.

----------------------------

--------------
Water Galaxy - Marby
--------------
RATING: 7/20
--------------
FUN: 3/10
Overly simplistic. Stuck if you don't get all stars before shine.
--------------
GRAPHICS: 1/5
Blue bricks only. Awkward water boundaries.

Now this is a real judge. :awe:

Well good news guys. :P Turns out when I was awarding ribbons out for the first time I messed up and gave OldSchoolGamer (remember him? Me neither- come back!) a 6th place ribbon when he actually tied with Buff. So I'm promoting him up a medal. In the meantime, YB, prepare yourself for another ribbon! :D
