raocow's talkhaus

The reason why the fun score is so high As you might be able to tell, I was expecting people to rate this much lower in fun and I was harsher with fun score in general :/. That's really the main reason why my scores are so low. Remaining People a guy Blue Podoboo Cloaytonem2 CrappyBlueLuigi Diggert...

This level was probably the most tragic level in the contest for me because it's incredibly well designed and MOSTLY super fun...but then that first half just keeps going, and going, and going. I couldn't beat this level without savestates because it was just waaay too hard. I WANT to love it but I ...

PFFFF the star block was a complete mistake. I just put it thoughtlessly there without thinking about it. And yeah, I really should have just disabled the timer. I made some modifications and I'll update the link shortly. And thx <3

This one also has existed for a bit and I never actually claimed A for it but we're all stealing level slots anyways. lol


Totally not stealing the gimmick from Baseball Mountain nope nope!

Made a while back, didn't bother to submit because of its level slot, but now aterraformer has cleeeared it for submission.

Yeah it's a stupid thing.

SMCsLevelEngine (difficult and long--it took me 3 game overs)

The solution is to be me and savestate before entering levels so you never get game overs

LIves are stupid anyways!!!!!

like it won't make anyone upset ?

Yeah, it's fine, I've been using some of the stuff there myself :3

Also if D's officially being cleared I'm claiming it :3 It's gonna be a collab level between me and Enjl. Also sublevels E8-ED.

I personally thought the secret exit added almost nothing. Putting a midpoint right there doesn't magically make it have substance, and the challenges weren't even THAT different. There's not much difference between climbing on some vines and hopping on blocks directly under the vines. Plus most of ...

I just had a different experience with SPYIKES, really. It just did nooooot give me a good time at all. Kincyr's is weird - I really like the concept, but the level itself doesn't really DO anything with it besides just putting a few slightly weird things inside the eggs - it would have been much co...

I've thought about it and I'd like to apologize for how hostile I've been with some of these level comments and stuff. I didn't really think about it when I was judging the levels because I was just so angry/disappointed after playing some of them but now I'm reflecting and I was reeally too harsh a...

So uuuh, fun fact about my judging...I rated difficulty based on how difficult the level was, straight-up. I only realized I did it wrong after I had already finished judging and it was too late. It doesn't really like super matter anyways, none of my scores really relied on the difficulty score and...

Hey hey hey it's my TWO least favourite levels! I was expecting just King of GETs this video but oops! rao forgot to get the secret exit. Y'know, the thing that quintiples your playtime and is the major reason why it's my least favourite. The entire level is slow, boring, and not fun at all. It's a ...

stuff I didn't deduct points if puzzles were breakable, I only deducted points if there were broken roms/midpoints/math puzzles/scrolling/sprites or some things were like actually janky. I didn't really use janky here in the context of "it barely works" I used it more like how Talkhaus us...

Maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't it be possible to drop the shells down the muncher pits and jump off them rather than using the Tap-Taps? Or does that not work for some reason? (I'm almost certain you could use that to skip the first Tap-Tap, but I'm not familiar with the details of SMW b...

I still don't even think it's that bad, if you stop and think about the puzzles instead of blindly throwing shells everywhere you don't really need reset doors :/. And apparently lack of reset doors automatically makes it some crime against humanity that's the worst thing to ever exist and is comple...

I still like this level >:T

I mean...I'd LIKE to think I made use of the full range of scores, though I won't deny that I was the lowest scorer here. Though I do seem to be consistently lower than the other three frequently so idk?? I just ended up being a suuuuuper harsh judge for this contest because I don't really enjoy rom...

That may or may not be somewhat accurate.

Everyone's talking about how talkhaus prefers flavor but I think that impression just came out of how much Horikawa judges based on it ;p I hated Parma's, it just felt really poorly designed to me because random garbage was spammed everywhere. I initially liked Willhart's but as time gone by I liked...

FrozenQuills' level is a great example of a good romp - it doesn't have like, super clever gimmicks or anything, it's just a level that uses objects cleverly and brings actually challenging design to the table. Also the palette reminds me of the NES SMW bootleg. Realzameer's level was the last I pla...

This sounds super awesome, I'd definitely be interested in a contest for this kind of thing! Looking forward to what comes out of this!

Counterexample: Pyro really hates some of my jump1/2 levels because they're hard. I literally only played an early version of OK TIDES tho Also I just realized that I was wrong when saying I scored the frustrating levels higher, lol. Like today's level, which I gave the fourth lowest score. And som...

Calling a one level video tomorrow :3
