Easy Level Contest

Annual Easy Level Contest

People don't make Easy levels enough, even though there's plenty of potential! This contest is meant to remedy that.

The goal is to make the best easy level in Costume Party. People make as many levels as they want, but they must fit these guide lines:

1) The level must be easy! Not bad, but easy no less!

2)It still has to be good. Don't do a "fall into the exit" level, they are bad. Winning will be rated on awesomeness, so make it interesting.

3) No time limits, also to prevent entries from just being action levels.

4) Levels must be turned in before Friday, Dec 4th. You are advised to turn them in a day or two before at least, so that there is time for them to get rated by players. Make as many as you like. Your level must be rated by at least 10 players and have a difficulty of 3 or less to be eligible to win, so the earlier the better.

5) Your level name must begin with "Easy:", so I can find them.

6) At Noonish my time on Dec 4th, I'll do a search in Costume Party, searching for "Easy:" as the name, and sorting by Awesomeness. The top 3 entries (that are by 3 different people) win! If one of the winning entries doesn't follow the rules, I'll keep moving down the list until I find a legal one.

7) Don't be a jerk. Rate the levels honestly! I know some people won't, but that should be factored in equally across them all, so it will work out.

Whoa... did you know that you only gave the player one heart in your "easy" level? It's 5 skulls for me!

P.S. to other entrants: Please keep in mind that easy is good, but levels where there is literally nothing stopping you from winning (i.e. no possibly way to die or fail) are deleted!!

I agree that not enough easy levels are made. The game is sorta like D:TG in platformer format. [Of course, it's a good game, just hard content.]

I'll make one.

Too hard

yourter12 · 11-29-2009, 06:21 AM

No fair! I think my level or any level shouldn't get disqualified just because of not enough votes.

***Jamul*** · 11-29-2009, 06:48 AM

Everybody do a search on "Easy:" and play and rate those things! I will.

Redbone · 11-29-2009, 10:07 AM

Why are levels disqualified of not enough votes before the deadline?
