10th Level Designer Contest

Ok, so out of popular demand, I am hosting the 10th level designer contest! omg epic

As you probably already know... the goal is to create and submit the best level designer level fitting the theme of the contest.

What is the theme you say? I'll get to that later, but first:

The RULES: You knew it was coming.
- One level per person, no level series or mini-series. Also, if your level is too big, it may hurt your score.
- You can update or change your level as many times as you want before the deadline ends. Just keep in mind that the last level you posted will the the only one judged. (Also, we recommend that you edit your old post instead of reposting it)
- No insults, profanity, or anything of that kind in the level. It must be appropriate for the PG level
- You cannot post an older level, it must be created for the contest. (That means you should not have been working on the level before the contest was announced. Which would give you an unfair advantage)
- You can team up with someone else and make a level together. Both of you will receive credit if you win the contest. If you use another person's level as a base (an unfinished level, or a template), you must ask them first, and you have to say who's level it came from when you post it.

How it will be judged:

There will be a maximum of 20 points awarded. The points are distributed as follows:

10 points: Fun
It is it the right difficulty? Is the level fun to play? Does it feel boring and repetitive, or does it feel new and fresh?

5 points: Graphics
Does it have cutoff? Stacked lava? Does everything in the level fit the style?

5 points: Other
You will start with 3 points, the judges will add or subtract points depending on how deserving your level is. If it is too laggy, points will be taken off. If an idea shown in your level is extremely good, points will be added.

The average of all of the judges ratings will be your score.





And finally...


The theme this time will be:

Try to make the best space/exploration themed level out there. Does that mean galaxy in general, or Super Mario Galaxy themed? That's up to you. This topic was also picked due to popular demand.

Curse the seemingly unnoticeable changes in rules. >:


Oh well, at least I can get a head start on planned galaxies that haven't been started yet.
