Level Contest 7 - Topic 2 - THE WINNER

[zlaker]

WTF?! If you think it's that cold in Germany, then you don't want see what we call cold in Norway. BTW castlewars your review was unfair and I can see why it was ditched.

[MistakesWereMade]

I don't even see why the review was actually dropped just because I was in school and wasn't online until the review got dropped.

I really doubt you were at school for like 2 days

The reason why I don't like the fact Ace's level won was because it seems there was some propaganda to make Ace win, just because he's popular.

Baseless assumption. And no, this wasn't the reason ace won, it was because his level was legitimately good, and you gave it an awful score without justifying it.

To be honest, I actually didn't enjoy his level, but I am regretting giving it 5.5/10 because I just figured out now the first part of the Spark puzzle.

It's extremely easy to figure it out (yes, i played the level), you should have tried to figure it out before sending your review in

would personally say Sux should have won because I gave him the highest score.

uh

sure

[zlaker]

Did Ace even get a medal for winning the contest?

[Emral]

I don't care when in summer, as it's cold in germany all the time and I wouldn't notice a difference.

ROFL. Come on, it's not THAT cold in Germany, and it's not ALWAYS like that. The forecast promises warmer temperatures and more sunshine this weekend.

dang

I'm liking the cold weather.

[Darkonius Mavakar]

so i guess castlewars is the villain for tob6...?

(inb4 i get flamed after this)

About 10-15°C as it is right now is okay for me, too. But I don't need rain and even thunderstorms all day.

On topic, wasn't a different name for the contest episode being discussed before CC7 started? I thought "Tower of Biased" got boring or something?

For me, Tower of Biased is never boring for a Naming progress to go on so it should not be that bad.

It looks like we have a winner and I think the top 5 list spoiled it! When we revealed the top 20 list after we revealed the fourth tier results, I thought Ace would win and next time, don't spoil who might win if the list is in alphabetical order, it almost gives hints to who might win, but I'm gonna have to say, congratualiotns Ace!

how does an alphabetical order give any hints on who will win?

[bossedit8]

...next time, don't spoil who might win if the list is in alphabetical order, it almost gives hints to who might win...

I sure did noticed about the Alphabetical Order but not the spoiling to the Rank's Order. Glad to use it like that by the way.

That the people's names on the list were in alphabetical order and I thought Ace would win because he was the first person on the list, I assumed that he might win and he did

[bossedit8]

I have to agree on this.

Also, I hope the ToB SMBX Episode will be stand out as Epic like a lot of the previous ToB Episodes.

I didn't think so at all. Though I can understand that you had this feeling with the list.
But, you see, how would you mix a list of only FIVE persons so that there's no hint about the rankings?

[Mable]

I like how Ace got pushed into the 1th place by changing Castlewar's his review and stuff.

Edit: Wait what happened actually? Did Castlewars his review got throw out oonly there or on every level?

[SuperWingedYoshi]

Only on that level, as far as I can see.

[Chad]

I really wasn't expecting to place this high. I originally estimated somewhere between 20th and 30th place for my level because I feel like I didn't do enough with it. I kinda agree with Valtteri, some parts are generic and the Magikoopas aren't perfectly functional. The latter was something I realized before submitting, but I tried a few different things with them and couldn't really think on how to improve them further.

But wow, second place? That's pretty awesome, thanks guys! I think the reviews imply somewhat lower scores than what I got, and I actually would have won if not for the controversial review (only lost by .055), but I'm not complaining at all on either point. I understand the decision, and 2nd is still pretty darn gosh good. Especially 2nd out of 80.

The background was interesting as well but it hurts my eyes: actually the colours and the moving backgrounds, especially with the Snake Blocks, are a literal eyesore

Eh, sorry about this. I was a little afraid that would be an issue. I tried darkening the background so it's not so dynamic, but then it just became nearly invisible. Hope it's not an issue for too many people.

as for the boss, it requires the player to be quick as one false move can cost them the level as the spikes keep spawning.

I'm pretty sure I put a sign by the boss door that tells you that the generating blocks can remove the spikes. Did I forget to do that when I submitted it?

My only complaint would be that I died from trying to spin-jump on a Kamek (I MEAN UM...MAGIKOOPA) and simply bouncing off.

The Kameks replace Spinies with jumphurt=0, my bad. If I'd thought of this, I'd have made it a Shy Guy or something. I was going to, but I didn't feel like messing with the death effect and didn't think I'd need to.

I can't wait for you all to see the levels, there's a pretty awesome collection this time. I think this is the best contest we've had.

[Mudkip]

I feel sorry for Chad.
He always gets the second place
:'(

[XuticX]

congratulations ace. surprised that no one got at least a 9.0 though :/

[RudeGuy]

I feel sorry for Chad.
He always gets the second place
:'(

though if you arrive in the 2nd or the 3rd place, you'll recevie a prize.

[Shinbison-Kof]

Congratulation Ace (despite before being removed the review of castlewars, Chad was '1°' XD) and congrats all participants, and also top 10 and top 5! (also congratulation Sux ).
I Saw that the points of top "10" are very next: 8.554/8.9625...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the level was fairly long and the lack of a checkpoint means the player will have to redo all the hard work

This level was far too long for my liking and to make it worse it lacked a checkpoint

PS: My level has check-point ... O.o
