Thanks Killswitch. :) Yeah, I would've made it longer if I thought I'd had enough time between when the LDC started and going on holiday. I think I did really. :facepalm:

Hey, I thought I'd pop in and drop off the LDC review

Fun: 8.5 out of 10 = 4.25/5

Comments: Great platforming. I had a lot of fun playing this level, a lot of fun. About the gimmick- I think it was smart to make a gimmick; a lot of levels have them. (I.E. in SMW2-Yoshi's Island, every level had a specific gimmick.) It was incredibly subtle, but nice and intriguing. The platforming, for the most part, is the star though.

Graphics: 4 out of 5
Comments: I think the graphics were quite well done- you did the right amount of vegetarian. The tiling was lacking in a few parts, and combined with the beautiful vegetation, looked kind of odd. Butterflies add a nice touch.

Other: 3 out of 5
Comments: The level did take a long time to load up, and once crashed Flash. For me, 30 seconds. -.5

However, the level had the least lag thus far out of all the entries. Ran beautifully. +1

The sign is funny in its mistake- it says "Follow the Butterflies" like we didn't already read the title. But it's just funny, no points taken away.

Watch your downward platforming- it's very easy (and I've made that mistake too) to make it so your downward platforming can be skipped over with a well placed fall. -.5

Overall: 15.5 out of 20=4/5

Ruling: A well done gimmick with great platforming that needed some tiling touchup and a bit of work on making sure it loads well, although that's hard to avoid.

Thanks for my review MoD. ;) I read this on the 14th LDC thread too - I can't believe how I just missed out on 6th place.. :facepalm:

Don't feel bad. You got 7th, and it's only your 2nd try. Me, I got 19th. WOO! I'd give a rating, but apparently I have to do something before my ratings are accepted. (Probably get a level or several up)

I know, I'm proud with 7th, because I figure - my first try I was disqualified and my 2nd try I'm 7th? Surely I'm improving. XD

Well let's be fair, your level was disqualified not because it was poor, but because it didn't fit the theme. I have a feeling it probably was a good level. This wasn't so much an increase as it was you continuing to be good at it.

Do you win those 4th, 5th, and 6th place medals by entering multiple levels in an LDC?

I'm not quite sure what you mean.. basically you win those ribbons if you come 4th, 5th or 6th in an LDC. (depending on the amount of entrants)

Nope. If you have more than one, then it was from entering into multiple contests.
