Maybe in CC8, where he submitted Automatica.

Sent in my level. I really hope I place better this time. Good luck to the rest of you.

I just noticed there is approximately 17 or so days left! <16 really with today being the first> and maybe more since some can submit after the deadline if they do not care about a point reduction!

We won't disqualify you if you send us a Kaizo level or something comparable to Kaizo, but the judges aren't required to complete an unreasonably difficult level and it will receive a low score. You've been warned.

So does this mean, making a Pipe Maze Level, is a waste of time? (Not spoiling anything because that's what's the name of the level is called!!!)

As long as the pipe maze doesn't have a shitload of enemies, unfair death traps, and jumpscares, you should be all right.

Also, let me just say this: "Kaizo" doesn't mean "hard". "Kaizo" means "rage, unfair, nearly impossible, hard".

My name hasn't been bolded. I'm wondering if Valtteri forgot or if it's because I'm being accused of making dupes (which I haven't).

He did say on IRC I was banned from the contest but I don't know if he was joking or not.

Guys, the point of this "Don't submit levels that require an unbelievable playing / puzzle solving performance from the judges" rule is supposed to prevent people making Sharp Objects are Usually Deadly clones, as well as kaizo levels in general in which the player is 99.9% likely to die. A really complicated Pipe Maze kind of level that has a load of warps and is essentially a giant maze isn't kaizo, it's a normal level. So yeah, that kind of Pipe Maze level can make it through without getting disqualified.
