raocow's talkhaus

I don't know whether to be amused or sad that raocow managed to completely and utterly forget that upward throws are a thing for a long time :( I blame SMB3, and SMBX making upward throws practically unusable!

It'd have been better if world 0 was locked behind the star coins and then the replays unlocked bits of world 0. Then raocow at least wouldn't have had to do it all at once which would probably go over a lot better. The real issue, as far as I see it, is just that immediately after beating the game...

I guess the author had no choice but to make them suck to preserve the extreme accuracy exhibited by everything else in this game. I have not run "making fun of 'accuracy' as a supposed design goal" into the ground enough yet actually, a lot of the Daredevil Comet sections in the original...

DAY 14: 1st ------------------------------------ WINst - idol - neil degrasse tyson Nimono: Design- 38/40 Comment: A really fun, well-designed level overall! It does have some problems with timings causing you to get hit or get way too close to it for comfort, but overall, very nice! My favorite par...

I don't know what this one did different to stand out amongst those ones. Well, it used Waluigi nyoro~n I dounno though. I haven't read Nimono's judge's score's list('s) It was basically carried by me and noivern loving the feel of the level nyoro~n It genuinely had nothing to do with Waluigi for m...

ye it's my level. If I remember correctly I was inspired by Kerkec's entry in magl3 which is a fun hectic vertical platformer. Thus I made a level only out of vertical sections. Meanwhile the theming was inspired by vldc9's Hotel level by Frost . And finally the room raocow missed is really just a ...

DAY 13: 3rd / 2nd ------------------------------------ 3rd - Blind Devil - Summer Hammer Time Nimono: Design- 35/40 Comment: I felt like there could've been a bit more exploration with this level, and hearts seem few and far between, but overall, what you have is still really fun. I love it! -------...

I MADE AN ASM is my personal favorite of the contest; I love how clever it is using minimal chocolate. I have a feeling most will like it more than the top 3. i dunno, yours was pretty good, too :3 I'm not sure if the other judges found the crash in sunset vista, but I do know that I at least ended...

DAY 11: 7th / 6th ------------------------------------ 7th - lolyoshi - A GRINDR EXPERIENCE Nimono: Design- 30/40 Comment: This level was really, really hectic, but really, really fun! Nothing felt unfair or anything! I loved it! Although, I must admit that towards the end, your creativity... falter...

DAY 10: 9th / 8th ------------------------------------ 9th - Pseudogon - Cloud Voyage Nimono: Design- 24/40 Comment: ARGH THOSE PIRANHA PLANTS THAT TRY TO SNIPE YOU WITH GRAVITYBALLS. There's also a part at the start of the second half where you can get permanently stuck and must wait for time to ru...

DAY 9: 10th ------------------------------------ 10th - HFD & TLMB - unnamed (I'll call it Mario the Magician) Nimono: Design- 14/40 Comment: ? I was left wondering what was going on through the level. It worked alright with your gimmick, but it left me...wanting. Also, your next-to-last room do...

DAY 8: 11th ------------------------------------ 11th - Skewer - Sica & the Dark Princess Nimono: Design- 5/40 Comment: HOW!? How were you supposed to realistically know how to get by some of those instakill lasers!? ESPECIALLY the hall of them at the end of the FIRST midpoint room! Like... What...

i am late because i was too lazy to go open the files for this :D DAY 7 - 12th ------------------------------------ 15th - Divemissile - DEATH AND BEYOND Nimono: Design- 28/40 Comment: Very interesting puzzle level you have here! I enjoyed the death aspect, though I'm left wishing you'd used it a bi...

I think it's quite well designed. Would fit very well in JUMP. I'm late replying but I agree with this and I think it's a shame a bunch of the judges gave it unfairly low scores for design. 5/40 12/40 5/40 3/40 Yeah it needed a tutorial and could have used some midpoints but it's otherwise very wel...

DAY 5 - 17th / 16th ------------------------------------ 17th - DaSpongeBobMan - Yoshi Berry Orchard Nimono: Design- 26/40 Comment: A very nice SMB3-SMW-style level! A bit plain, but definitely fun! BUT WHERE'S MY YOSHI!? I WANT MY YOSHIIII ;_; ---------------- Creativity- 8/30 Comment: While it was...

Also, wow, that second level. I cannot believe it got ranked higher than the previous levels, since that just seems extremely frustrating. :gravytea: Would not recommend yeah it's entirely due to the fact that chocolate contests favor what can't be done in vanilla over actual design- while design a...

DAY 4 - 19th / 18th ------------------------------------ 19th - Kaito - Iggy's Sky Fortress Nimono: Design- 10/40 Comment: Pretty plain level design. Flat platforms everywhere, not too many obstacles, not even that many enemies. It's also pretty short. ---------------- Creativity- 10/30 Comment: The...

The links are broken, but the comments DO survive to this day!!! In fact... I might as well post them each day if you guys don't mind!! Until then, please permit me to show you... THE COMMENTS!! Nimono's Comments - https://www.dropbox.com/s/pc1q209y6e8j12c/CHOCOLATE%20ISLAND%206%20SCORING.txt?dl=0 ...

I noticed that no one has posted judge comments, so I thought that I may as well do it myself. Then I realised that one judge hasn't even posted the comments and that none of the other comments survived to this day. Have some numbers instead Also, that second level slightly reminded me of Chateau C...

Where's the Green Switch? I won't consider the LP finished until it's found! the green switch is a myth. it doesn't exist. It's nowhere to be found. I even made sure to remove the Green Switch's programming from the game so no-one can trace it. you'll never find it. evil laughter. you MONSTER!!! bu...

DKC2 would like to have a word with you

That star really should've been called "Dance with the Onion" :/

So originally if you fell off in the Roulette, you died, same as the Pinball but this time the change hurt it, you STILL only get one chance to grab it once you reveal it, only now it's way more annoying! WHY did Kaze not just think "Oh, I should widen the platforms so you actually have time to...

Looking at those Mecha Koopas from Sunshine, I just realized that the FLUDD Hover Nozzle from Course 2 hasn't reappeared since then. In fact, the only powerup to have appeared multiple times is the Fire Flower. yeah as far as I can tell, Kaze does that a lot in this hack- introduce a gimmick, then ...
