Intromania: I enjoy the "cats have nine lives" tie in and the minis were nice, but fairly standard. The art left a little to be desired.

Mercury Takes Over: Very creative and well made. I greatly enjoyed the depiction of the limited lives. However, I'm not musically inclined to the degree this world requires, and I am counting that a bit negatively - even though the difficulty isn't the classic type, a too difficult world will alienate some players and reduce their enjoyment.

Winner: Mercury Takes over. Even though Intromania's world was more approachable and more fun for me, Mercury Takes Over's was much more creative and very well put together.

SHUTU P: Fairly standard interpretation of theme that's practical but doesn't add anything to the level except post-finish decos/effects. Minis were decently polished, but nothing special.

bring peace: Basic interpretation of theme, but has a more important effect on gameplay than their opponent's world, especially with 1ups. Minis are basic and fallback mechanic is not well explained. Art is appropriate, but npc enemies look weird. Deductions for poorly functioning/breakable system.

Winner: SHUTU P. While bring peace implemented the theme better, SHUTU P had an overall more solid world.

Studios Ghibli: Fairly basic interpretation of theme, but multiple difficulties improves. Gameplay was nice, but got a bit repetitive, and the fact that the double jump wasn't made more explicit probably hurts. ingame art is quite nice.

[\quote]: Great creative take on the theme. Minis were clearly polished, especially with the challenge mode. Art has some very nice detail with decorations, but also feels a bit noisy otherwise.

Winner: [\quote]. Studios Ghibli's solid level and nice ingame art just did not match up to the creativity and polish that went into [\quote]'s level.

Radioactive Sunflowers: Uses theme well with building blocks to help you as you die, but I'm bothered by the cat has 9>>4 lives subversion. Minis are a bit standard, but the story, art, and overall presentation make the world quite enjoyable.

Dragons: Very basic theme that just feels like an arbitrary cutoff. Mini concept seems uninspired and needlessly difficult - especially with the limited lives adding insult instead of improving the level. Art style is simplistic and consistent throughout the world, but less isn't always more - especially with an ugly world border to top it off.

Winner: Radioactive Sunflowers. While I would have preferred some more interesting minis, their world doesn't really have any flaws.

Derps: Classic theme in a very appropriate setting. Slot and race minis seemed a bit too simple, but the poker minigame was better. There was some very nice detail art throughout the casino.

"dude i'm so tired end this already": Unexpected but nice interpretation of the theme, however the coinhunt concept isn't the most exciting. I'm sure there's a flow to doing great in the level with few jumps, but the openness of the world and how well hidden this path is just ends up being discouraging. The simple art style looks nice and works well for the world.

Winner: Derps. "dude..."'s world had a more interesting take on the theme and nice art, but Derps had better gameplay, and executed their world a bit better.

Three Musketeers: Wrong theme. Minis were built upon nice flows and little thinking which can be nice, but can easily be eclipsed with more interactive designs.

MusicMan: Classic theme in a very appropriate setting. Mostly standard minis are roughly grouped by difficulty, but there's some iffiness to the groupings. Great art is integrated very nicely with the setting and minis. Deductions for an easily exploitable system (/reset) and for having 10x as many coins as needed (so much annoyance with frequent restarts, which can happen regardless of exploiting).

Winner: Musicman. While Three Musketeer's minis may have flowed more nicely and felt more appropriately curved (even if the curve is fairly flat), Musicman blows it out of the park with integrating setting art and gameplay together. But even that doesn't compare to Three Musketeers seeming to have missed the intended theme for their bracket and making more of a "limited lives" world that "risk and rewards".

And now for something completely Different55: Theme is good and incorporated in a few various ways which is nice - the different55 mini games are good in concept, but could certainly be much more polished. However the art is not decent and not naming your world is just bad class.

beeef brocoli (served with oyster sauce): Theme was good at getting me to press my luck, and the rising stakes as you collect coins only makes it better. The minis clearly had a lot of thought put into creation and refinement, especially with the increasing risk factor, however the very harsh difficult and timer definitely detract from the world. Art was decent, but didn't do much either stellar or bad.

Winner: Beeef. Different55's world showed off a greater variety of risk vs reward and may've actually been more fun due to the more approachable difficulty, but the time and attention put into beeef's world paired with another great way of incorporating the theme takes the cake.

2 french 1 cup: Great theme that really emphasizes pushing your luck and puts it all in the players hands. Very enjoyable level that crams a lot into a small world: a variety of well built minigames and thematic art to set the zones apart.

CK and Unau: Another great interpretation of pressing your luck, and the various upgrades let you choose your preferred way to do so. Minis are nice and work well with the different upgrade paths. Art is as wonderful as always in CK&Unau worlds.

Winner: 2 french 1 cup. Both worlds are amazing and I wish they could both go through. CK and Unau have better art, but I prefer the concept in 2 french 1 cup. While both worlds give a lot of choice, the choice is more interesting and allows for more challenge in 2 french without giving me the pressure of a ticking clock.
