[timocomsmbx2345]

I wonder how mine went. . . . . .
i assumes the review something i didnt meepyglobix it up for
Honestly, i wasn't here for the glory.

I think my level is not going to be great. Because I tried to re-fixed my level multiple times. And I keep making it more harder so that it's going to have a great and awesome challenging level.

[Kixubug]

I agree, that explains a lot

[PersonNamedUser]

Of course, that does say alot

[Sorel]

Welp looks like I'm gonna need a bit longer than the other judges to get this done because school keeps me busy.

That said, I gotta agree with Enjl here. There are plenty of pretty good levels in this contest. Heck even some of the more rompy levels feel somewhat fresh and fun.

[Thehelmetguy1]

Guess this contest is just with a smaller ammount of participants

[PersonNamedUser]

So how's the judging coming along?

Why do people make secret exits when nobody knows how to make good secret exits?
All it does is make the overall product less fun.

18/31 btw.

I think it's enough if one asks the question. Idk why people feel the need to quote and reply the same thing again which happens often and it's usually like 5 in a row.

There are several ways to make secret exits good.
One type I like is requiring the player to play part of the level with a twist. For example, "don't touch the floor". At the end of the section the player will see the blocked off pipe, blocked off by a color-coded object on a moving layer or whatever, and will know what's required to get it.
Another type is putting down a pipe at the end of a suspicious, slightly out-of-the-player's-way path that leads to a section allowing to expand on the level's idea in another way. If your level is about P-Switch runs you could here put a section about avoiding P-Switches. Secret exits aren't an excuse to make ridiculously hard areas, though, because as long as someone places a collectible at the end of an "optional" path, it is a required element for 100%.

The two kinds can be combined of course and there are other ways to make secret exits. Main point is that they should be noticable if the player pays attention and be fun, fair and rewarding as an added entity in the level.

I agree with that. Most SMBX levels just have secret exits for the sake of having a secret exits, and don't seem to know how to properly intergrate them into the level in a fun and rewarding way.
