Art: 6/10
The art is nothing to complain about, but not all that impressive either. It’s quite simplistic both ingame and on minimap. But seeing as it’s black and white i guess that is to be expected.
Gameplay: 6/10
The gameplay is well crafted, but it’s honestly not my style. It’s also slightly tedious how the arrow paths seem to sometimes work quite well, but other times you fall seemingly without much reason.
While i understand that you made the “opposite” part mirrored to keep up with the theme, i would have appreciated if you slightly changed it (to make it feel different or be slightly harder) instead of just making it an clone and calling it a day.
Creativity: 7/10
It’s a good black and white concept, but i feel like you could have done it even better if you made some adjustments and improvements.
Theme adherence: 10/10
Definitely following the theme.

The art is well done, it fits well with the gameplay. What’s important in these types of levels is to make the art understandable for the player, which it is. Also it has quite some clever little extra details like the “future/past” couple.
Gameplay: 8/10
The gameplay is very good and clever, my only minor complaint is that the world feels almost too short. I suppose you could blame the world limitation, but i’d have preferred it if you used the excess black void in the middle to make more gameplay rather than use it as an seperation. The given world size is too small to worry about such trifling details.
Creativity: 9/10
The concept is very good and well executed in the little space you gave it.
Theme adherence: 10/10
Follows the theme to the letter.

Art: 7/10
The art looks amazing on minimap, but it’s suffering from problems ingame. The art makes certain tasks such as seeing spikes and arrows properly more difficult. I think the level’s overall quality would have benefitted from more focus on gameplay first and foremost, then creating the art around it. But don’t get me wrong, it still looks really good when not having gameplay in mind.
Gameplay: 6/10
How to describe this… The gameplay just feels… weird. It’s not really put that well together. For example i’m still not sure what the intended solution to the lava cave coin and return is. (Jump through the flames? Swim through lava to reach mud block/checkpoint? Both?) Also the spiked algae + fish coin was rather confusing, i did not realize there was mud inside that fish, making me unable to understand how to get the coin until i just jumped inside the fish thinking there would be invisible blocks, but then i realized the brownish colour inside the other brown colours was supposed to be mud. >_> Then the second coin feels like a throwaway as it’s very simple...
The high-jump/low-jump concept was good, but the gameplay could definitely have been improved.
Creativity: 7/10
It’s a great concept of underwater/lava contrast, with the jump powerups. But it wasen’t done as well as i wished it was.
Theme adherence: 10/10
Nothing to complain about here.
Total: 30/40
To sum it up: Ingame art + gameplay: not very good. Minimap art + concept: amazing.

Art: 1/10
Absolutely terrible, but at least you guys made something which might be considered “art” in some cultures of the world.
Gameplay: 1/10
Many annoying reset points, many bad decisions. The thing about joke levels is that i’d probably score them highly if they had some redeeming qualities or coherent gameplay, but this is just a mess. However i think through the cracks i can see that at least there was some level of ATTEMPT at making what we’d consider a “level.”
Creativity: 4/10
Not gonna lie, this concept of opposite day could have been done well, but that’s unfortunately not the case. There’s too much bad writing and broken gameplay. There’s nothing wrong with the concept itself however so i’ll give some points for that.
Theme adherence: 2/10
Can’t complain about it not trying. But the theme is supposed to be “opposites”, not “opposite” period.

[DID NOT COMPLETE LEVEL DUE TO FLAWED LEVEL DESIGN]
Art: 4/10
It doesn’t look very good ingame, on minimap it’s mediocre. The bat/bird things for example describe this level well, on minimap they look passable as birds/bats flying. But on minimap they have totem pole heads, blue hair and cloud cutoff wings. Much of the ingame environment is rather confusing to the eyes as well.
Gameplay: 2/10
Did you guys test your own level? The 3rd coin is literally impossible unless you do a pixel perfect glitch jump. I can’t imagine that was supposed to be intentional. You have to TEST your level before you submit it. That way you can catch noob mistakes such as this. Needless to say, i was unable to complete the level. Though i tried many times to complete the jump. If there’s an invisible portal or something that gets you in there then that’s not acceptable because i couldn’t find anything. As for the other minis i was not impressed. 2 points for effort.
Creativity: 3/10
I was unable to get past the 2nd floor of the creepy house thing, but i didn’t see much of an concept anywhere before that. Just generic noob minis in an haunted environment.
Theme adherence: 5/10
I suppose the opposites theme for this world is “haunted/outside environment? I’m not sure as i didn’t get very far, but the way i see it this level is pushing the boundaries for what’s acceptable a little bit.

Art looks rather fine on minimap and ok ingame as it doesn’t interfere with gameplay too much. The contrast negative world and generic world both look rather nice, so good job. I’d prefer slightly more focus on the ingame view in the minigames though.
Gameplay: 7/10
Pretty good gameplay, but i could break some of the minis, also i wish that the return trip was more interesting than just walking past the minigames you already beat. For example by adding new challenges using the cyan team blocks.
Creativity: 9/10
The alternating gravity effect gimmick is a good concept and it was also done very well, there was even some interplay between the 2 in some of the minis, which i appreciate. It’s simply missing a little bit on the gameplay department, otherwise phenomenal.

Art: 8/10
The art looks very good on minimap and ingame, but there are some ill-advised decisions such as putting invisible blocks everywhere to accommodate the art with the gameplay. I’d much prefer it these were left out as there were some annoying moments where i tried to jump only to realise that there was a invisible block above me, hindering it. If you want to use invisible blocks it should be made clear what is invisible and what is not. I really like how the negative world is almost like it’s being mirrored upon the water when looking at minimap.
Gameplay: 6/10
It starts good, but gets rather repetitive. It’s fine to go back and forth 1 or 2 times, but i had to go back and forth collecting switches through the same minigames constantly, it doesn’t help either that the negative world is almost identical except for the lava pool when put into an gameplay perspective, so i had to repeat the same bridge jumping minigame about 8 times. Also if you collect the checkpoint before the switch in the lava pool you get stuck, luckily it’s at the beginning so it didn’t feel that bad to reset. But be careful about these sorts of things.
Creativity: 7/10
It’s quite a clever way of doing the opposites theme, but the minigames are a little bit uncreative. Switch collection only gets you so far.
Theme adherence: 10/10
No complaints here.

Art: 10/10
I really like the ingame art of this level, it’s not intrusive in the slightest and it looks really nice. It’s also very detailed.
Gameplay: 8/10
The level was beat very quickly, i could literally just jump up the volcano and complete the level in less than 10 seconds. I’m not sure if that was intentional since there’s also an ladder inside the volcano which takes you up to the top, but that one is also rather easy to reach. The gameplay doesn’t pose much of a challenge, in that regard. But there are some blue bonus coins which takes slightly more effort to reach. This feels more like a fun little romp level that you’ll enjoy for 3 minutes before moving on to the next one so i was very unsure of what i should rate it. My eventual decision got made because overall i enjoyed the experience, as short as it was.
Creativity: 7/10
This level has many nice touches such as funny npc dialogue and art details which i want to give creativity points for. As for the very few minigames they are very simple and doesn’t offer much… Hence the score given.
Theme adherence: 8/10
The level isn’t exactly textbook example of how to properly implement the opposites theme, but it still gets a pass for it’s volcano/snowland contrast.

Art is good for the most part, but it looks a little bit messy at the bottom on the lava mine part. Focus more on the ingame art, especially on small worlds. Otherwise it’s good. Also i like many of the details.
Gameplay: 4/10
Gameplay quality is lacking because there are corner jumps and other precise obstacles which aren’t fun. This level is too hard for its own good. It would have been better if it was less tedious with more cleverly made challenges.
Creativity: 5/10
As i said already, the challenges aren’t very well thought out. And nothing really stands out, it’s all just descending into the mine while doing annoying minigames.

Art: 6/10
I often praise detailed ingame art in these reviews, but this time i think it’s too much. The hyper-detailed environment must have taken a lot of time and it certainly looks good, if not absolutely astonishing at parts. But having to play through them is a nightmare. It’s hard to see what is block and what is background, also the hundreds of closely intertwined colours made my eyes hurt from trying to navigate it. If El Triplete could chill out a little bit with the amounts of eyerape it would have made me much less reluctant to score the art so low.
Gameplay: 3/10
The gameplay is terrible. It’s way too hard and tedious, worst was the arrow wall in the first city section which felt like you had to get past it by using luck. I’d honestly prefer it if the gameplay was left out altogether, making it so that one could simply wander the art and read the signs at one's own leisure. At least you guys tried, but being completely honest with you El Triplete… Minigames are not your fortê, focus on art and story instead.
Creativity: 9/10
I honestly did not expect an Al-gore style speech directed at humanity like this level presented, but it could have worked rather well if the gameplay was better or removed entirely. As for the art it should either have been simplified or made easier to navigate. Anyway it’s a very clever concept, i’ll give you guys that. The writing isn’t exactly perfect, but it gets the point across for the most part.

Note: It was a close shave, but i think i’d prefer El Triplete to win, simply because their level has a lot of ambition behind it, and i’m curious to see where it takes them next.

Looking good for the most part, not sure i have any substantial complaints to be honest. It’s well integrated with the gameplay and has some good looking details as well. I suppose one minor complaint can be that the lava cave does look a little bit average-looking compared to the heaven part.
Gameplay: 7/10
Some minigames are a little bit annoying, like the upper rightmost one. But otherwise they are pretty well made. A tad bit confusing and average on parts, but it does do enough to keep you engaged. Overall an enjoyable playing experience.

The art works well with the gameplay, it’s a little bit hard to parse what’s solid or not sometimes, but otherwise it’s got an nice look to it.
Gameplay: 8/10
The gameplay is challenging and mostly enjoyable. Alternating between low and high jump works well. Some anti.frustration features such as a few more checkpoints would have been welcomed however. Also i wish the upper left quadrant’s water pool would just kill the player instead of making them have to waste time to go back to the checkpoint every time they’d fail the difficult jumps there.
Creativity: 8/10
The minigames are creative enough, but i’m not sure i fully understand the “time leaper” name. Are we travelling in time? It’s more like the player is just randomly teleporting between 2 different dimensions with low and high gravity. Also who is the king at the end? Yeah, the story is all over the place. The gameplay is good however, and that’s what matters.
Theme adherence: 10/10
Alternating between a green and purple world/dimension thing. Fits the theme nicely.

Art [Negated]
Art is not a necessary criterion for judging this level.
Gameplay: 6/10
There are some problems which hold this level back gameplay-wise. 1: It’s quite easy to get stuck if you bump into the pong line thing when you are popping out, which will teleport you to someplace without a reset, meaning you have to reset the level manually. 2: It’s either almost impossible if you did not catch the npc telling you about the preview thing, or it gets rather trivial once you figure it out. The problem is that you can’t really dodge based on reaction time, because the curse is way too brief to allow for that. Thus you can only win if you see where the location of the enemy pong line thing in the 0.1 second it flashes on the screen before shooting you out like a cannonball. It would be much more preferable for the preview to be longer lasting or to make the line bigger and giving more curse time to avoid it. Otherwise this level is amazing, good job on making something so creative for the concept. 
Creativity: 10/10
Very good level idea and execution.

This was a very clever way of interpreting the “opposites” theme.

Note: I found myself more impressed by Mutantdevle’s level, even with it’s gameplay flaws due to the fact that he tried to make something so clever. Thus i want to see what he makes next. It’s harsh for Studio Ghibli due to the fact that they also received a very good score, but that’s the nature of competitions i’m afraid. With me being only 1 out of 5 judges they might very likely win anyway. Good job to both teams.

The art looks good on minimap, but ingame it’s not exactly amazing per say. (Before you ask, yes i have a definite strong ingame art bias, hence why that gives you less points than Zoey’s level. Her team’s minimap looked bad compared to the ingame, but i value ingame looks more.) Though it’s cool seeing how the environment changes depending on which “side” you are on, which gives off some neat touches, such as how the sun is bigger in “decay” than on “growth” for example. I think the art would have been better if you focused on simply having 2 worlds rather than 4, thus giving you more space to work your art around with.
Gameplay: 6/10
Coin collection can be a good concept, but the minigames aren’t particularly interesting or creative. The main fun lies in switching between the worlds.
Creativity: 8/10
It was cool to see 4 different worlds instead of 2 like usual, but like i already mentioned. I think your level would have benefitted if you only had 2 different worlds after all. The aforementioned level sizes are too small to have 4 different worlds and making them all look and play well. Still a sound concept though. The growth and decay concept is something i don’t see often.

Also you need to add checkpoints, the way it stands currently you’re expected to beat two entire columns of incredibly annoying jumps without fail, or you fall all the way back to the beginning.

There was an incredibly stupid decision to add that gray part of the level which is literally just holding a key while the arrows slowly move you forward. Incredibly lazy level design, however after that part is a clever one where you are supposed to do the “opposite” of what you would normally do. Jump into a fire pit to progress etc... If you simply kept doing this concept instead of adding that incredibly bad gray part, you might have gained a much higher score as it was a objectively thousand times better idea, sadly it was not really executed flawlessly as the portals were a bit finicky.

It does make for a good contrast, but it could have been handled better.

A little bit frustrating having to go back to the beginning of the segment after touching the + effect, but otherwise it’s well made. Especially how you play through different parts of the level by using the up and down gravity effect. I do wish there were maybe some more checkpoints, but it’s also understandable when taking into account this world’s concept.
Creativity: 10/10
This level gives a very bold and interesting take on the opposites gimmick, the small story bits add to it as well.

I like the art. It looks nice ingame. It has an symbiotic relation with the gameplay which i always appreciate.
Gameplay: 8/10
Gameplay is spike dodging mostly, which i don’t have anything against if it’s done well. I wish the heaven section was a little bit more challenging, even if it doesn’t make that much sense thematically. But still pretty nicely done. The level feels very compact. One small gripe is the missing difficulty curve.
Creativity: 7/10
Not a particularly creative concept (ie dodge spikes) nor is heaven or hell, but the npc dialogue is pretty good. The saving grace is how well the art and gameplay is designed.

The gameplay is reminiscent of an exploration level seeing as it’s rather easy and there are very few real challenges except for the lava part, i feel like this could have been improved much more than what we see.

Exploring a ice and fire cava, with a bunch of signs explaining mundane little events. These signs are not really necessary and should have been limited, though some were quite funny. Problem lies in the gameplay as it’s not very inspired and is lacking any real concept.

Minimap art looks great, but the ingame doesn’t look very good as an result. It’s not the worst example, but very often worlds that focus on minimap art completely butcher the look and feel of the gameplay.

This level has the more classical variety of arrowmini gameplay which i haven’t seen in a while. Not my preferred style, but it works well enough. It’s lacking any real concept except for that one part with the music blocks and ladders.

Very varied but good gameplay for the most part, although that slidey mini was a little bit confusing, especially on the way back. I also got stuck in the red team door fire pit because i somehow didn’t collect the read team colour on the return trip, which left me slightly grumpy. Otherwise it’s quite fine.

Nice rendering of a painting. I would have appreciated slightly more focus on the ingame perspective, but that is an very minor complaint indeed.
Gameplay: 10/10
The sign in the beginning set the concept of “finding your own path” which was a nice encouragement of finding one’s own way to the coins. The gameplay was smart, simple to understand and fit the theme perfectly. Maybe a little short, but i won’t let that detract from the score at all.
Creativity: 10/10
Using the two different properties of the “worlds” in the painting to obtain the coins was ingenious. I really like the worlds that manage to make two clearly defined opposites that are still very connected through gameplay.

Interesting art direction you went for, i like it alot. Though some of the black void parts are a bit hard to see when you need to go through them. I think it would have been better if you added an dark but visible background for those parts.
Gameplay: 6/10
Most of the minigames are a bit of a hit-and-miss unfortunately, i didn’t really like the first double jump challenge as it was mostly luck whether you would have enough jumps or not when going through the double jump effects. As for the others they are kinda meh… Certainly not as interesting as the art decor. At least you tried an variety of different challenges.

The gameplay is ok for what it is, and how it used the theme… But it’s very short and i feel like it could have been improved upon by adding a couple more challenges, it definitely would have been possible using some of the empty parts of the level. The middle of the world is almost barren. Gameplay-wise. As it stands it feels a little bit empty.

The gameplay is very varied, but i feel like this level is missing some text, or art decoration or anything really to make it stand out more.

The fact that the keys can be trolled if there is more than one player in the world is not very good design, but otherwise it’s quite clever how we see portrayed the difference in philosophy between so-called “noob minigames” and “pro minigames”. I’m going to be perfectly honest though Sensei1, i’m a little bit disappointed with the gameplay in this world. With such a clever idea and excellent artistic abilities you should really strive to make the gameplay more like your usual quality. That part where you need to dodge keys for example is just bad design… Even if it’s intended to be an mockery of “noob minis” i feel like you should make the gameplay have an certain level of quality.

The art style is very classic when compared to the more contemporary styles of the other worlds, there are few backgrounds, tons of shader blocks, keys used for shading and heavy minimap focus, which for this small sized world just doesn’t work very well… I’d appreciate heavier focus on the ingame art.
Gameplay: 6/10
Excluding the use of some effects the gameplay is mostly based on arrowmini mechanics. I never really liked much this kind of gameplay and art, the feeling of fun simply isn’t there... So seeing this blast from the past doesn’t really fill me with nostalgia.

There’s a lot of overly precise BS which really detracts from the potential joy value of this level. One of these challenges Is basically: “Jump! wait 0.5 seconds before moving left!

The art has some good things going for it, but it looks a little bit messy ingame. Almost like you tried to make it look good on minimap. (even though minimap is so small it would be barely invisible) I think you would have benefitted from making it a bit simpler, or a different style.

The gameplay is fine, but nothing too spectacular.

Very clever concept of going through random rooms, the fact that the player can die easily is made less annoying this way since you’d be going through different rooms whenever resetting.

Art points for minimap question mark block. Otherwise it doesn’t look good.
Gameplay: 2/10
The gameplay fails due to the fact that the level literally becomes a time waster near the end. You have to gamble for 1 out of 24 effects, but to get to the victory trophy the requirement is to get every single effect at least once. Meaning you’ll waste ages on those last 3-4 coins. Something which may take hours. I did not finish the world due to this reason. Other than that, the gameplay is acceptable, but i got stuck sometimes due to getting an combination of effects that doesn’t allow one to leave the starting room. There are too many untested variations of effects which really makes it impossible to properly design an challenge room to accommodate them. Though you tried. Some points for attempted creative level design.
Creativity: 6/10
The concept is the best part of the level, i just wish it was done better. Fewer effects and better level design for example.

It’s a weird level. So much random crap going on that it’s hard to even think about what the player is actually supposed to be doing, it seems like one would have to either just rush past everything or stop every 2 seconds of progress to read another lengthy monologue… It’s too much. Also there’s a puzzle at the end which was hard for me to understand, which way are the characters supposed to go? By “last”, do they mean further to the left or right? It’s confusing. I could not solve the puzzle without cheating and looking at the switch system. Overall i didn’t have much fun playing this level…

Not sure i agree with having to do the exact same minigame 3 times each, how about making the switches change the gameplay slightly? Or using team doors for this purpose. Anyway ignoring that, the concept of guessing the food items and seeing it presented through disappearing switch doors is great. It’s a fun world to romp through for the story and art elements. It’s just too bad the gameplay itself is a bit average, and gets boring already by the 2nd time one would have to beat it. I wanted to replay to see the other endings, but having to do the same average minigames for the nth time is just discouraging.

Eye-rapey, but slightly less than what i’ve gotten accustomed to from this team. Good job on improving slightly.
Gameplay: 3/10
The gameplay is really frustrating and annoying with the spike hell, checkpoint starvation, switches, effects, tight jumps. Etc… I do have to grudgingly admit though, there is some serious creativity hidden among the hookjumps and eye-rapey art. Lots of unique setups and obstacles that really show that effort went through this level. It’s just a bit annoying having to wade through the certain bad minis… And the good but frustrating certain other minis! There is also some detective work which is funny, too bad you have to bypass super hard minigames to even progress on that laughably tossed in little gimmick you guys got. Let’s be real now, you guys wanted to make super hard minigames. So to justify that you three threw in this little simple “oh whos the killer? The guy with a knife or the guy with no hands? ohHOHO!

I don’t like the art much… It just feels messy. I wish it would have been made more smooth and easy on the eyes rather than this badly attempted minimap art. It has some creative vision behind it, but overall it feels too abstract and unnatural for my taste.
Gameplay: 6/10
The gameplay isn’t too bad, and like the sign says. It’s meant to be a difficult world, which it is. Mostly slidey minigames though, which is disappointing. The switch doors do “switch” things up a bit however! (oh god, kill me now for making that joke)
Creativity: 6/10
Having to waste lives to get coins and activate switches is a bit more unique than simply allowing the player to get every coin sequently. So props for that. The gameplay itself isn’t too much to brag about. But i liked how you incorporated the cat’s lives into the level.

PHD in instrumentation is required. No but seriously, it was so hard to play this level. The music is brief and indistinguishable, making it difficult to understand the difference between the musical tones. It doesn’t help that the hints are gibberish. How can a sound be “bright”? Am i expected to read 40 pages of wikipedia just to understand this complicated music theory? Maybe i’m just tone deaf, but for me the level required at least 10 people inside it just to explain to me how it’s supposed to work. I really didn’t have much fun playing this level.
Creativity: 6/10
It’s a creative concept, but it’s not very friendly towards anyone who doesn’t have pre-existing  extensive knowledge of music, i saw many confused people in this level who shared my sentiment.

It’s a RPG battle, but there’s not much strategy involved other than “attack monster, dodge monster” over and over again. Powerups aren’t really necessary as the dodging is easy on normal mode, and you can’t use them on the harder modes. It’s great that you guys attempt to make something creative like an RPG battle system instead of the regular platforming worlds, but often people forget that it has to be fun as well. This one is kinda “meh” as far as these types of worlds go.

Really nice, i love the casino themed art when playing the minigames and how it’s made into an representation of gambling.
Gameplay: 7/10
This is the most frustrating world i have played in a long while, i spent about 20 minutes on this level, even though it would probably just take 4-5 if everything went perfect. The problem is that due to the “risk and reward” nature of the system you’d have to repeat so many of the minigames to win. So imagine my horror when i entered the 100 coin gambling room and noticed i got a one chance 1x1 hookjump “joker” room. I was screaming.
Ignoring the frustration factor it’s a really good level, i only wish the challenges were made to be a bit easier.
Creativity: 8/10
Very creative and well made, but the gambling would have been more fun and less annoying you didn’t rely on just spike minis. I thought each different form of gambling would be unique, but it really just ramps up the difficulty of the spike challenges…

It’s way too hard like the sign says, i could barely get 7 coins in my best run. How are you supposed to reach beyond that? Anyway, i’ll be the first to admit, i didn’t really play this world as extensively since Diff’s world was clearly unfinished so i felt it was unnecessary to get that deep into this one. The concept itself of the temple getting harder the more coins one collects is genius, and i wish it wasn't that hard to begin with. But it’s quite difficult to make the difficulty curve perfect in a world such as this. Still a really neat level.

I had to give some points off for that lengthy boss battle, because it’s quite tedious and annoying. It’s heartbreaking to make it through the entirety of the level twice, only to die 10 times to precise switch block parkour and game over. After some practise i actually beat the level without dying once though, so there’s that. Let’s go to the positives, well... this level is a masterpiece. There are puzzles and creative challenges which almost makes this level feel like a zelda dungeon. Very good job!

I’m not sure i personally agree with requiring the player to “buy the trophy” and leaving no reward for collecting every coin using all upgrades… But it still leaves an opportunity to reset the world and attempting to waste less on upgrades so it works both ways. The diving is a really neat gameplay concept, but i feel like the gameplay isn’t fully up there compared to the excellent art and creativity. This seems an recurring theme with CK and Unau’s worlds where their score ranks high on art and story, but the gameplay usually isn’t the best part of the level. That reminds me, there wasn’t that much of a story on this level. Weren’t you guys masters on this? Make it better!

The level starts really interesting with having to seek out “hints” to be able to pass over the seemingly uncrossable bridge. This world is all about illusion challenges, requiring the player to think about how to achieve their objective. It all seems very clever initially, but it’s just too bad the bridge minigame is so obscure that even with the hints i was unable to figure out exactly what the hell you were supposed to be doing. With so vague hints, it renders the level unbeatable to me. Believe me i tried to cross the bridge, but i just don’t get how this obscure tight fit skipping mechanic is supposed to work.

This level uses limited jump power ups as a means to make illusion minigames. It’s quite an ambitious level which requires a lot of thinking and time on the players part. The puzzles are all very well designed and hard to figure out. My main gripe is that some of the jumps are a bit frustrating and the level itself is almost too hard for my taste. It’s also very difficult to guess which next coin or power up you’re supposed to be going for, which almost becomes a puzzle in itself.

Gameplay: 6/10
Seemed to be good initially, but the world feels bare bones compared to what i’ve seen from this team before. We’ve gone from amazing switch system levels to a level that sounds good on paper but a bit poorly executed gameplay and story-wise. Also it seems like the world wasn't properly playtested since 2 of the actual hints to which gift mom wants in the dark dream section is not even reachable. I just had to guess which green item she wanted out from the “everyone loves green things” hint. It’s also a tad bit annoying having to restart the level for choosing the wrong gift, since it’s almost required that the player must perform the guessing game to find the correct gift. Overall quite disappointing experience. I wish there were more content to interact with, minigames, NPC’s… etc…

I like that the team attempted to make different minigame concepts like the past Zelda-esque level, but some of the concepts are really bad this time and almost like they are lifted from a sub-par EE lobby world.

Art is really generic and looks uninteresting on both minimap and ingame.
Gameplay: 3/10
I was never a fan of this type of gameplay, and it doesn’t help that it feels atrocious, i didn’t understand what button combination you were supposed to be holding in the water section so it felt more like luck than anything. It’s extremely annoying to keep failing due to not understanding what magical button combination the gameplay creator expects from the player. The portal section is also very annoying… The saving grace is that even though i dislike this style immensely, there is at least an attempt at differentiation by having a new gameplay concept in each quadrant of the 4x4 world layout. The final minigame is just absolutely trash and borderline unbeatable with 2/3 blue coins collected, and i’m not restarting all those minigames just to get there with less. Very boring and frustrating experience overall.

I like what you guys did with the level. I’d argue it’s improved from its original form since it’s in a smaller world, making the one life concept much less frustrating.

Note: I feel like the execution of both levels was about equally good, but Muffin’s theme made a more creative sequel in my opinion since it didn’t just copy the style completely from the original and instead used the level as a way to introduce a different concept.

The spike challenges are coloured clearly so there isn’t any confusion gameplay-wise, that is good. Also the slimes look neat. It’s hard to ever disconnect the feeling of simply travelling through black and purple switch system paths the whole time though.
Gameplay: 5/10
Sigh… This level… It’s another RPG battle thing. After beginning with a textual assault to explain all of the features, which i really just hurriedly skimmed over and could still understand the level mechanics easily. There are a bunch of battles against “slimes” which translates (in EE terms) to dodging spikes and hitting the green spot to do damage. There is a also 5 second pause every time the turn ends because of the switch system. The main problem is that i really just don’t find this level fun, especially when in the later parts the spike dodging get’s unforgiving which makes the player die easily, meaning they have to reset the entire world which is already long enough to begin with because of all the waiting in between performing attacks and so on. EE really isn’t fit for RPG battles in my opinion, all this does is make me want to play a real RPG like Touhou Puppet Dance Performance rather than continue on with this kinda boring level. On to the positives, it doesn’t have any game breaking bugs as far as i can see, and there was clearly a lot of effort put into the level in making the switch system work and by adding extra features like the heal and double attack option, but even with all the effort put in i just can’t bring myself to enjoy this.
Creativity: 3/10
Making an RPG world in EE was creative some time ago, but now there have been so many that they need to be judged on their own right, and this level doesn’t do anything that which earlier RPG worlds haven’t done already. Not to mention all we are fighting are slimes, the story isn’t good either is what i’m saying.
I was not a big fan of the simple and repetitive musical piano note intervals so i muted the sound and cranked up this much more epic sounding music instead -> (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOhZLOTAfEI) It made the battle feel a little bit less boring than it honestly was.
Theme adherence: 4/10
Considering the theme of “exploring new mechanics” this level doesn’t present anything out of the ordinary, i have seen these RPG worlds many times in this and earlier contests, it doesn’t really have anything i’d consider new or particularly interesting. Low score.

Mostly awesome art and aliens. Looks good on both ingame and on minimap.
Gameplay: 5/10
A potentially great level ruined by many bad decisions. Choices DO matter in this case as you really should have “chosen” better design like removing the “only one life” for such a difficult level, it’s extremely annoying to make it through some surprisingly difficult challenges only to die trying to save some crew guy and restarting the entire level, i understand you can “choose” to simply skip the dangerous parts and just go straight to the goal, but most people would want to experience the level rather than just skipping ahead to the ending.
The difficulty really is unfortunate, for example the first minigame in the lower route of the spaceship, don’t you think it’s a bit too hard and finicky to complete when compared to most of the other minigames? Also the solution for the containment cell room is quite ridiculous for being on the supposed “easy” path.
“Sorry Musicman, i really liked many of your levels, but the gameplay in this one is positively lamerizing.”
- Quote by Ipwner (2016)
Creativity: 6/10
Many of the minigames are creative and i really like the challenge some of them bring, even if many are tedious and annoying.
The story would have been more interesting if there was some more deep and impactful decisions rather than doing the same “save crew member X or move on” routine almost all the time through the level.
Theme adherence: 10/10
The only choice that really matters gameplay-wise is which path to take at start. Other than that it’s mostly skip or not to skip minigames that affect the ending.

Creativity: 7/10
Very intense satire of postmodern America and pseudo-intellectualism. I loved it. The drawings and signs are really comical, i think this level would overall be much better if there either was put more focus on having creative gameplay and keeping out the trash or simply going all out with the story and art and forfeiting the gameplay altogether.
Theme adherence: 6/10
Ignoring all the fanfare and pep talk about how “choices matter” the joke in this level should have been that they really don’t matter at all, choose to kick a puppy or sing in a choir, nobody cares. Instead the player ends up in a hastily put together crap or good ending with either god or satan. It’s a really lame ending to the level’s pacing which felt cool otherwise. I think a better solution for this kind of level is to literally just go with the “choices don’t matter” route as a joke rather than giving us a weak lackluster ending which feels more like a kick in the balls than anything. Who’d want to reset the level only to get one NPC saying either “you suck you damn sinner” or “wow you rule you kindly person!”. Sigh...

Normal mode is too hard to really get invested into, while easy mode is a little bit better. I’m not sure what to say to be honest, on the one hand it’s very well done to make this kind of world in only 25x25 space, but on the other hand it’s not really that much fun to me. It’s a very simple and kinda dull concept i don’t find myself eager to repeat 999x times as is apparently required for godmode. 10x times for trophy was more than enough.

Art is quite good minimap-wise, the light and dark castle remind me of levels in the “contrast” round.
Ingame looks a bit meh, not many details other than the random “skater dudes” you woosh by on your skating trek. Nothing bad about it per say, just nothing too amazing either. But i will say it’s solid, so it warrants about seven points.
Gameplay: 6/10
The positives is that the gameplay has some new elements added to it once in a while, making it feel fresh all the way through. Also the concept of “portal hopping” is done quite well and it works like it’s supposed to.
Negatives: The level is too hard, i feel like the difficulty could have been toned down quite a bit without negating any of the enjoyability gained from this level. The fact that two of the last blue coins are the same very hard minigame (meaning you do the exact thing twice, except mirrored) is not very clever. You should have changed it slightly so it wouldn't be a clone of itself. Final minigame feels like a chore, more focus on enjoyability instead of challenge would suit the contest better in my opinion. Not saying the challenges aren’t well made, but that’s what i’d prefer.
Creativity: 8/10
The concept is really unique and cool, i also appreciate the attempt at spicing up the gameplay by having a more open “collecting coins” part as well as adding the usage of jump and gravity effects in the later parts. There’s however a bit of a penalty for not adding more ingame decorations and the cloned minigame in blue coin part.
Theme adherence: 10/10
Skating, and there’s no denying it. [Bit of an unrelated comment: I think Musicman banked on the theme being so weird that his opponents would be stunlocked!]

The art is a bit messy, i know you guys tried to add a lot of details, but there is a balance. The abundance of NPC’s, effects and so on really hinder the effect of the visuals, some of which are amazing. I really do like the look of the city section for example.
Gameplay: 3/10
Wow this level is pretty hard and disappointing. Let me start with my main complaint which i have just been itching to let out right now.
Whose genius idea was it to require 10 wins in the skating medley’s for each section with only 3 permitted fails? Especially considering many of them are ultrahard and some are random as fudge on whether you can clear them or not. You pretty much have to bank on the random number generator assigning you a more “easy section” at least 7-8 times or you WILL lose. This is one of the most frustrating experiences i’ve had so far, and it was a dread whenever i’d reach one of those hellish sections, what were you guys THINKING?!
And the level is hard enough without a time limit added to every single challenge, i can’t stress enough how bad this feels to play, almost the whole way through.
Suggestions? Make the “skate challenges” only require like three or five wins! Remove the time limits from everything! Make some of the god-awful challenges more easy and fun! Tone down the NPC spam! Etc etc...
Creativity: 5/10
Gonna have to be honest with you guys, this switch thing? Doesn’t work all that well, it’s so annoying having to hit that tiny switch on the road when supposedly “skating” from one switch block to the next. Musicman’s gameplay was so much better than this kinda random “haha you’re screwed!” parkour. If you guys don’t have a better concept for your level, at least make the GAMEPLAY good! All those random NPC’s littering the place saying random garbage (With some of their text being almost unreadable due to time limit on almost every challenge) and the pretentious sentences on the minimap really make this feel like a brilliant mess, it’s almost hilarious in a way. All this crap thrown in here really makes me appreciate Musicman’s style a whole lot more, at least the goal was simple and the challenges could be parsed since there wasn’t too much stuff cluttering the screen.
Anyway where was i? Oh yeah, creativity. How do i put this… There’s too much of it used on the wrong unnecessary parts of the level such as visuals and NPC dialogue, and too little of it used on what’s important such as gameplay and overall level enjoyability. Does that make sense?
Theme adherence: 10/10
I think Musicman’s vision of “skating” is top-notch, while this could have been good, except it wasn’t. I’ve never been too strict with theme score however, so i give the level a ten since it is trying to follow the theme.
Total: 24/40

Note: Finally the contest is over. =_=
I was so hyped when it started, but man it was quite taxing having to judge so many levels stretched over such a large timespan. If i ever judge anything EE related in the future i hope it’s a more traditional contest.
Anyway congratulations for receiving my vote yet again Musicman, i hear many people don’t “want” you to win apparently, but i don’t really get why. I think your levels are really good for the most part so why the hate? Well whatever. I’m finally done WOOO!

[Radioactive Sunflowers]

I agree that the gameplay in this round's entry is a bit lacking unfortunately, though I did want to do something more than having just a question mark in the world, or reach the end to find out who did something (as that feels a little theme-skipping to me, unless it's hint-and-guess which is what I did.. but with food! Heh.. I almost went with a robbery of the MusEEum, but Large to Medium, and with switch block machine.. couldn't really work it).  Ah.. I really wish this theme had came later with a larger world, as it's hard to convey a mystery when you can see half the world!  Vision blocks when??

For awhile I had considered purple blocks changing up the mini but I felt with what little gameplay area was left, it might've gotten messy pretty fast.. though team blocks did skip my mind.  I could have used those, oops..  With limited space to play through, I didn't want the world to be TOO short (I mean, it's short as it is), and hoped that the randomized samples could keep things mildly interesting.  Anyway.. this is probably a concept that'd be better utilized in a larger world.  Pending the other judge's votes.. if we move forward I'll focus more on gameplay again.  This time concept was favored but sadly a randomizer eats up so much space

Thank you for the feedback.  If I do remake this later in a larger world, expect less cramped design and more diverse gameplay!

Art points for minimap question mark block. Otherwise it doesn’t look good.  yeah well it was firstly hard to think of what to build where art woudld look good in too i orginay had the idea to make a mysterious maze wiht secrte blocks but then i would have NO art so i had to think of a better idea i came along wiht this but ha dot rush wiht time goo that i ha dmy plugit bot the platforms were firtsly randomly placed wiht basic gray and were adjusted a bit and i added some ofc only gray basic woudl look bad so sinc ei had like 1.5 hour left i decied to make them go from whit eto black
wiht shade so ti altealst looked better
Gameplay: 2/10
The gameplay fails due to the fact that the level literally becomes a time waster near the end. You have to gamble for 1 out of 24 effects, but to get to the victory trophy the requirement is to get every single effect at least once. Meaning you’ll waste ages on those last 3-4 coins. Something which may take hours. I did not finish the world due to this reason. Other than that, the gameplay is acceptable, but i got stuck sometimes due to getting an combination of effects that doesn’t allow one to leave the starting room. There are too many untested variations of effects which really makes it impossible to properly design an challenge room to accommodate them. Though you tried. Some points for attempted creative level design. well time qwaste havent really thoguht of that honestly
i wanted all effects and a few of the multi jumps and poisons ofc its luck based what you get maby i had to make thet blue coin a switch 1 too so you had more chanc eof getting 2 effects abotu effect combination i havent really thoguth of it i have tested multiply effects i wasnt sure of hence i added team doors for low jump/zombie i also added arrows for some gravity effects in combine wiht low jump then i laste rreleased low jump+zombie was **** and like unplaybale i did not want to fix that as it become a mess to add hrundgdreds of team doors what could make a solo effect unplayable slow speed+zombie havent really tested it either but i gues i guessed that it was possible havent really tested anythign wiht low grav as i thought it could jump hihg and over all the platforms btu i guess now i think about it that its quite hard to control low grav+high jump... had to test that sorry forgot to do that about the posions yes they ar emeant to be unplayuable atleats for the 1 sec one havent tested if you coudl be fast enough for 10 sec one and 30 sec one well i guess i could imporve this level later i am planning to make a laist of all my tournament worlds once its over so i will mostlikly make minor chnages to em while i have uunlimited time
Creativity: 6/10
The concept is the best part of the level, i just wish it was done better. Fewer effects and better level design for example. yeah i just wanteed all effects so it was more ranodm what you would get maby i could lower the requirements for winbrick to like 20 coins and add a crown for 24 coins i think then it doesnt take long and maby i csn think of more nicer platforms
Theme adherence: 10/10

So uhh… What happened Different55? Too little time? Too much pressure? It’s just a nightmare to play this...

Had a few too many days where my entire day was dominated by Other Things. Doesn't really matter now but if it had been finished it would have been a race against the clock to convince an impatient and very bored god that you're worth any amount of attention before he decides to chuck you in a box for time and all eternity, forcing you to weigh your skill against the amount of time you have left and against the amount of interest you still need to grab.

Instead it's half sketched out and the other half is scrawled in at the last minute and so untested parts of it are actually broken and it's none of the things I wanted it to be. Maybe I'll finish it some time after the tournament in a larger world.

Re: Norwegianboy's official reviews of EE Tournament worlds.

its good to know I have a +1 point for round losers 5, my world gameplay was garbage and so was the art, but I really didn't knew what to do at this point. At least I got +10 points for theme

Re: Norwegianboy's official reviews of EE Tournament worlds.

Huh, I thought out of the 5 judges that I'd at least get your vote, for some reason.  My opponent's world had a nice, simple aesthetic, but I found it too difficult to be fun, plus you mentioned the death limit was slapped on, which is something I wanted to avoid.  I wanted a more creative use of death doors/gates, after having played end quote's level which I thought was really cool.  Though I guess you didn't find their world as frustrating as I did. 

About hiding hardmode.. well.. most who've tried it were unable to beat it, mainly due to the first segment I guess, which is a lot harder to do deathless than I originally thought.  Second section is easy and the boss you just have to be careful not to bump into a bone.  Maybe I should've gone with the originally planned 1 life mode.

Won 3:2 tho.. that is much too close for comfort, hopefully this time I won't wait until the final day.

Updated.
A bit lackluster round this time in my opinion, the only level i really liked enough to give a high score was by SHUTU P's team.
Also 3 non-submits which is disappointing by this point.

Well suppose that's it then, it had less over saturation and focus on just having art that works with the gameplay.
Moral of the story: Try less next time.

Strange, does anybody know why CK and Unua didn't submit a world? Did they just not have any time to build something or are they not interested in the tournament anymore...

Re: Norwegianboy's official reviews of EE Tournament worlds.

Cirno and Touhou..? OW!  I've actually never played those games.. I get people calling my character Cirno a lot (As well as Elsa and Navi), but I never knew of her until much later.  Charlo is my own creation for a few years now

As for borrowed ideas.. It didn't hit me until after that the egg cracking thing had been done.  But it's diiiifferent, it's in a bowl, not a pan!!!! totally different..!

By one point, oof.. too close!  You betcha I'll work even harder on the next round if I make it.  Maybe less switch reliant so there can be more room for gameplay and/or art.
