The level alternates from dea...

Everything up until the midpoint in Blue Podoboo's level struck a chord with me - I thought the autoscrolling part in particular was really well crafted, but I can understand how people who aren't a fan of the barrel mechanics to begin with might not enjoy it. I am in fairly unanimous agreement with...

i heard about the transphobia stuff from xkeeper on twitter (the tcrf person). dunno if that was a different irc he got banned from or what. wouldnt be surprised His entire IRC channel got banned from that server due to his particularly hateful attitude towards a lot of people, not specific to his ...

OK real talk the fact that none of the judges were curious enough to bother with the dargadons says something about either them or the level, probably both, to varying degrees I personally went for the dragon coins and knocked down my score a little because of it (in fact, as you'll see below, a go...

I watched a video of that star and saw someone enter the pipe in the toxic pit to get up there. I actually assumed that was how you were intended to do it (i.e. go through the pipe instead of going up the usual way), but I guess that's not the case.

I like how you emphasized the disco shells an...

That's great that you think so, but all 4 judges are very much in agreement about the scoring of that level so that's probably just you :) This would hold more any weight if all four judges were actually qualified to judge :) Please inform us what arbitrary standard you have which makes us qualifie...

The first three areas of that level are very heavily inspired by an older level that yoshicookiezeus made for SMWCP2. The level starts with elites in a regular factory room, and then you fall through a glass pipe segment identical to this one, and then you go through a lava room with grey platforms....

the winner is actually the unlisted participant "smbxrulessmwdrools" but don't tell anyone

re: 7 Golden Statues: I've heard echoes that someone abused a script to spam-download the hack and push it to the top. I don't administrate SMWC anymore so I don't have database access to check, but it is definitely an outlier. That aside, I haven't watched today's video yet, but I remember the quiz...

Beat Owlboy. Fun game, but 100% not what I was expecting going into it. I was expecting an open-world platformer with flying/Aero the Acrobat-style gameplay. Instead, what I got was a hybrid Twin-Stick shooter and Puzzle Platformer, with Metroidvania/Openworld level design elements, that all work t...

I had to remind myself which levels were coming up, and .. well, tomorrow shouldn't be too bad, but the couple of days following that are going to be a special breed.

For what it's worth, I forgot that TVoC even existed, so I wouldn't have noticed at all. If he did ask and I didn't answer, then I/the other judges can't really hold it against him.
