yell at me loudly for the block room

today, raocow learns what kaizo means (again)

you're just looking at the level upside down

that's because all the good puzzle designers ((and dare i say level designers in general)) know which of those two games is actually good

i forgot about the clouds. you are so lucky to have the clouds

I'm also not referring specifically to SMWC. Yes, there is a decently sized Kaizo fanbase on SMWC, but there are entire other communities based on it as well (see for example Romhack Races). There is a huge amount of love for Kaizo all across the SMW scene. And yes, of course there is still plenty o...

I think the biggest reason that levels like today's aren't fun for a lot of people is that they can be fun to solve but most people don't like constantly failing at something even though they know exactly what they're supposed to do. People who actually enjoy repeating the same stretch of level doz...

cave dnager is a fantastic level

the glasses room was funny and a clever use of the mosaic effect on the snes. good shit

i should mention that medic made the asm, i just made the level part. bless medic

since there's no ysp Creator list, i made fuzzy room, sumo grass room, cave room (i thought the maze aspect was really funny), and fake bowser room. and bowsber hall. crikies i will continue this train by saying i am responsible for both bramble rooms (which were originally one room but it was spli...

it's only a gauntlet if you make it one, since you can exit and come back at any time Assuming every room has an unmarked checkpoint, there's no way to know that, either, outside of taking an increasingly large risk. the game explicitly tells you in a message box that all checkpoints are saved when...

Speaking as someone who's done most of the levels, you know what I'm most excited about? Hopefully getting a full list of the ost in this game, because some of these songs are incredible. Not the full list, although a good portion of songs are here: https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=viewthread&t=10...

yo whens the "vanilla with vanilla tools" contest gonna get made cuz idk im just not super impressed with being able to spriteswap to your heart's content as long as you swap them to stuff made from vanilla assets. like sure, in the lunar magic menu you can select different spritesets and...

i think he was just hoping the walls would contain pork chops like in castlevania

i wish it was a joke

do you think there are 0x1F0 1F0's

thats called a "contest", maybe you've heard of it

for the record i would give this a way higher score if i judged it today. i hated things that were particularly difficult back then but have since come around full circle and am now of the camp that penalizing levels for difficulty alone is unfair. i don't think that level is without flaws, mind you...

1) Volume is very easy to change. It is absolutely the author's fault for not addressing that issue, as it implies it was not tested after being inserted. 2) That song is not even hosted on SMWC. It's a Japanese port from elsewhere. Thus the volume issue is even moreso down to the author's lack of p...
