The prompt is not "overtime" but "over time" (also even if the rubric was overtime, that would not be allowed)

Also if anybody wants to still join the contest, reply in the thread ASAP as the submission deadline is 1 week away.

Quick question: If I want to make the looping music I should write something in the luna.lua file or just edit the mp3 file?

Whichever you can pull off and/or consider to work better.

You must choose 3. If you choose any other amount, we'll have to count it as if you have chosen 0, and you will not be judged on any of them. This doesn't seem like that hard a rule to follow.

I am having trouble understanding these contradictions.

There is no contradiction. Both of us are saying that you need to pick 3. The contest rules state that you need to pick 3.

I went ahead and recorded my level:
At least it is beatable and isn't as absurd as last year's The Spirit Spire (6, 0). I still can't beat both of them. Both are very difficult and missing themes.

The Spirit Spire is very difficult with frame-perfect jumps and spikes everywhere. Yours is basically alternating between normal jumps and spin jumps given a confined space with dizziness effect, while simultaneously injecting all 8 themes by a fraction in the level because you got confused about "needing to pick 3 themes, but ShadowStarX told you on Discord that you can do more if you want" versus "needing to pick 3 themes only, and if you want to do more, you need to make a separate level from the thread".

What I was trying to say to Mechdragon is that he can design around more than 3 rubrics but he has to pick 3 for the voting. But quite frankly I expected 4 or 5 rubrics at most used in a level, not all 8.

My own level "Thwomp Showdown"
Toadette Route Video: show
Mario Route Video: show
Peach Route Video: show
FutureNyanCat's level "The Fourside".
Secret Exit Video and explanation: show
Note: Deathless is actually required on this one, it is not deathless due to my own playstyle here. To get the secret exit, you must kill three hidden boos with a green glow with hidden coins. The second one is a tad evil. Third is super easy to get if you make it to the end deathless. First one easy if you know to not grab the coin.

Apologies for the delay, but I've run into some technical issues and also got busier than expected in addition to that. I'd also like to say a huge thanks to Enjl for helping out with executing this final phase of the contest! Let the voting start! Here are the details.

Rules:
  • You must not vote more than once. If you submit multiple sets of votes, all of your votes will be invalidated, unless you reach out to me and ask to remove your previous submission to the form.
  • You have to use your forum username, or alternatively Discord username with its ID, to submit a valid vote.
  • The Google Form will ensure that you judge all levels' rubrics.
  • I will manually remove votes casted on your own level.
  • Playing the levels is not a requirement but is strongly advised. If you don't wish to play any or some of the levels, please check the videos linked in the playlist below!

The deadline has hit but I'll extend it further by 1 day due to the technical difficulties I've had yesterday and the day before and as such, I forgot to warn people regarding the voting deadline approaching and it also hindered preparation! The reason was that on Sunday a huge windstorm struck my country and I lost electricity for my Sunday afternoon and evening and I also had multiple, albeit shorter power outages yesterday and we also had to repair some damage.
So sorry for the inconveniences and please cast your votes if you haven't yet!

New deadline is February 2, 9 PM (21:00) GMT.
