SNaPaN-MaGL X - HUB PART 1!!

[Dog In Da Grass]

Absurd second star? ;P My level only had one star, but it could be reached though either path.

Edit: And then you tried to "Fix" it? That's the problem right there!

Or did it actually throw off the star count or something?

[Pikabread]

The problem is that if you put two stars on the same layer of the same section, it doesn't work properly. Pyro fixed it so that each path leads to a different star by separating the sections. As long as there are two stars in your level placed, that's what it'll be counted as. If it wasn't your intention, apologies from both of us.

RESULTS!

Overall the contest entries were super good! The hub will be up in a few days, depending on how the development of the postgame goes. I also need to add in a few Lua things. Now the results!

Comment: Atrocious. Absolutely fucking atrocious. The level looks like vomit, with random reused MaGLX1 assets (RANDOM METROID FUSION COMPUTERS), and the music is all directly lifted from X1 as well (besides like, two tracks). On top of that, the second star is absurdly stupid (jump off the cliif in the too many forts section?!), and the level is just an unfun trainwreck in general. Also, you're told someone wants to meet you on the second floor, but you never get to the second floor, and suddenly you're fighting Luigi. And the level talks about drugs. The "skulls" on the medicine don't even remotely look like skulls. Also, fun fact: This level was unbeatable in its submitted state!! The SMB1 cross blocks in the secret section were added by me. They were not there before. The jump was impossible. Just...fucking awful.

Comments: This level was interesting. I like the flavor and the hint at an interesting backstory going on, but there’s very little substance and each area hardly has anything interesting going on besides the atmosphere. Interesting musical choices but some of them don’t really add to the atmosphere, particularly the lava area’s felt out of place. The graphics are a nice use of vanilla but they often feel cluttered and don’t have a consistent palette or theme. Also, to be honest, when I think of factories I don’t really think of test facilities, but maybe that’s just me?

The ‘joke’ here though, the second half of the normal exit caught me off guard and I appreciate it. The second half is really confusing until you realize what’s going on though, and it’s too easy to die in the office imo. I really dislike the method for getting the second star, haha. I’m glad I found the Mario block by accident. The graphics and music were unremarkable but not bad.

Comment: Man, this level had great potential. Each of the level ideas were interesting but… it felt like each section just kind of ended. They were short, tight, threw out interesting ideas and didn’t overstay their welcome, but they just didn’t feel like much. Of course, their short nature made it so that replaying the level wasn’t a chore, but they were just unsatisfactory. The graphical theme is very eye-pleasing, and the music choices are fine but they get repetitive. Also, to be honest, the google thing just seemed like a lazy way to tie level ideas together without really taking advantage of the title :/

The Paralars gun and flamethrower were really funny, and the zero-gravity skull rafts were neat. However, the actual level looked kind of bland, just clouds over a SMB1 night background, with a ghost house at the end. The resprites were neat, though!

Edit: And then you tried to "Fix" it? That's the problem right there!

Or did it actually throw off the star count or something?

The issue was that you put two star objects, so it appeared as 2 stars in the debugger instead of one. Also you put like a bajillion normal stars in the star vault and I had to fix that too.

[Mabel]

HOW DID I NOT GET LAST PLACE REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[Minnakht]

Commentary on my level:

"Weirdest thing I could make"? Really? That's not it at all. Weird would be like the random Wart projectiles or similar.

My level was an exercise in having a "puzzle" with a random solution. I don't think it's possible to make randomization like that in vanilla - if you just make a lot of choices, it's fixed which one's the correct one, and thus you can just know by being told. Once found, it remains found.
Here, the methodology is fixed, I don't know what it'd take to have random methodology, but the answer is random, so you have to go looking for it if you want to get the secret exit.
It's really more of a tech demo than anything. Blame procrastination. I guess I could've had a better idea for a random solution puzzle, too, but I didn't. I'm not good at making puzzles. It takes an evil mind to make a complicated puzzle. Puzzle barely looks like a word by now.

Imagine Dog in the Grass's level, but with like 30 character switch blocks resprited to all look the same, only one of them is a Mario block and you can only hit one and it says in the ToS which one is right, different every time.

Also SMB3 graphics because that's what I roll with when I can't make chocolate graphics (and I rarely can, for lack of skill). The non-vanilla music is from a Professor Layton game, because puzzles.

Also I agree Ivy underwater ice flower is fun.

I hope you like it and play SNaPaNX

I'm surprised that I didn't get last with how much I rushed it, haha~

Glad to see that, had time been on my side, I had a neat concept going. :D

[S1eth]

Yes. I finally got to see my level played on the internet!

What does "2 munchers" stand for in terms of difficulty? Because I thought my level was, as Ivy stated, "unloseable".
I personally couldn't die unless I tried very hard to. Did something break? (you have 7 hits, and even if you fall in the bottomless pit, you just take damage and don't die)

[snoruntpyro]

What does "2 munchers" stand for in terms of difficulty?

Medium difficulty. The bullets were pretty difficult to dodge. I just went off memory, which just made me think of the crazy bullet patterns, in hindsight the level just took like 5 minutes to beat so I'll change it to one muncher (easy).

[Dog In Da Grass]

The problem is that if you put two stars on the same layer of the same section, it doesn't work properly. Pyro fixed it so that each path leads to a different star by separating the sections. As long as there are two stars in your level placed, that's what it'll be counted as. If it wasn't your intention, apologies from both of us.

Yeah, it was because I only wanted one exit. in hindsight I should of removed the "secret" star and just of used the regular one for both exits.

Also this is still really good for me despite only working on this level for one afternoon. I didnt have time to add fancy graphics or flesh out the level design but it worked out for what it was!

[Dragon Fogel]

Wow, I did way better than I expected. Some comments.

The basic idea I had here was "ghost-and-skeleton war over the skies". The main point of the arbitrary side switch is so that you can encounter both types of enemies. I also wanted both sides to provide you with actual help, so the ghosts give you a gun that shoots ghosts and the skeletons give you a skull raft. I turned the gravity off on the skull raft and liked the results.

The secret ending isn't very complicated in concept; you just have to get all the Dragon Coins. Not hitting the switch for the ghost gun gives you a shoe when you reach the dinosaur skeleton, which I found helpful for getting the one after the midpoint. I don't think it's strictly necessary, though. That said, the main reason I did it was that I realized the first half was perfectly doable without the gun, so I figured I'd provide a reward for doing that.

Most of the sparkles are to indicate hidden platforms. There are a few under platforms that are event triggers, which is how I can have a Dragon Coin appear after collecting all the red coins while still being on the same layer as the other Dragon Coins.

The event-triggering ones are supposed to disappear after their event activates, though, and they did when I tested it. Don't know why they didn't here.

I kind of threw this together, but it was fun to make, especially putting in the various mechanisms for the secret ending.

Also, whoops, apparently I put the fiery Paralars for the boss fight in backwards? Sorry about that.

I'm glad people had fun playing my level. I don't think it was my best work, but I'm glad I made it anyways.

[Mikkofier]

Ok, level commentary time:

I was going to use Mama always said life was like a ?-Block. You never know what you're gonna get. as a name. The level would have featured hitting certain ?-blocks that would send you into all sorts of wacky situations.
Then I noticed the deadline wasn't as long as I thought, panicked, then made a level with a penguin instead.

[Pikabread]

Mikko's would've been my second choice for a favorite, honestly.

[GenesisJames]

I guess I can do a bit of creator commentary.

This level was originally going to be longer and contain more secret areas. The low-density room was going to be the standard for the length of each "test", and each half of the level would have two tests to speak of. I already knew that I didn't have time to do any custom graphics since I joined the contest late and my computer situation wouldn't let me, so I used my knowledge of vanilla graphics to create some (hopefully) nice environments.
The room with the saws and roto-disc that connects the outside area to the midpoint room was supposed to be placed between each test as a connector, but time restraints prevented that.
I was originally going to do a few more layer things to give the level more variety, but it was too late. I tried to make the two floating layers that I had work in different environments, thus creating the molten and magnetism rooms.
I knew that, since I had such limited time, I needed to do something to add more flair to the level. I love Wario Land 4 and its music, so I worked around some of my favorite tracks from the game. The last room uses a song from the Genesis version of Aero the Acrobat, which I always thougt sounded really desolate yet tranquil, so I decided to use it in the under-construction magnetism room that was still somewhat untouched by the factory.
The story was admittedly tacked on in a final effort to tie-in the factory theme. The good thing is that I didn't overdo it, haha~
I dunno if you showed it, but there was going to be more hidden rooms like the one you find by going up the pipe with the vine growing out of it. However, once again due to time constraints, they were never implemented.
Hopefully that gave you some insight on my thought processes behind the level! I liked designing it overall, but it's far from my best work. Maybe I'll go back to it as a bonus thing when I have a lot of time to make levels and fix it up to make it how it was meant to be.

[S1eth]

Now that I got to watch the whole video

I'm disappointed in these people who just submitted super simple names.

"Sunken Sanctuary" and "Haunted Skies". That's me. Be disappointed.

Donald Trump Castle and Anal Bibles would've been interesting

Suddenly I regret not submitting Round Six as the full name, "Round Five: Round Six".

If you're going for references nobody will get, might as well go all the way.

Commentary for my level:

[Lunikyuu]

I started typing this forever ago and then I got tired halfway through and forgot to continue it until now, oops!

Oh man, my level won somehow?!?!?! I was super duper not expecting that! I'm super glad peeps enjoyed it though. I almost gave up on this and saved it for A2XT because I got burned out toward the end and didn't have time to complete everything a I wanted, but the deadline extensions toward the end convinced me to push through.

The inspiration for this level came sort of late in the contest. I came up with the general plot of Sheath following a cookie through a mysterious portal fairly early on and knew at least one location would be in space, but I didn't figure out the main gameplay or how to incorporate the time part of the name until the last week. One of the previous ideas I thought of was a level where you alternated between space and different time periods (like prehistoric, ancient egyptian, colonial, future, etc.), but I felt like the level would drag on for too long and I wasn't particularly excited about making a level with that many sections and that required that many custom graphics.

I wanted to use the time portals a lot more in the level, but I ran out of time due to the aforementioned burnout. That's probably the main reason why I didn't expect this to rank so high. The part with the shop mini-sidequest was something I couldn’t let go unfinished though. One idea I had was breakable blocks in the past that would make things either easier or harder in the past, but vice versa in the present. I really wish I had found a way to implement those looking back. Another idea I had was a section with two paths and a switch before them, unblocking either path and you would have to choose one to go through in the past, then later be forced to go through the one you didn’t choose in the present. (The explanation for this would be an alien kid telling you that one day the switch block won’t work anymore and that one day they want to get up the courage to hit it once before it stops working.) Also on that subject, it was supposed to be implied that the ice blocks in the past would melt over time, but I forgot to put an NPC to hint that, oops! Maybe it works better without the explanation though? I dunno

The secondary gimmick of Link’s fairy-on-ladder shenanigans was something I thought of because I figured as long as I was using Sheath, I could find a way to use obstacles unique to her. The section with the three long horizontal lasers wasn’t originally a reference to a certain game, but I realized it seemed similar to that fight after I had come up with the idea. I wish the angular flying podoboos were a thing back when I was making this to complete the theme. I put rupees in front of the banzai bills to give a heads up of where they would be, and I tried to put the first one a bit further back so that the player would have the opportunity to recognize that that’s what the rupees signified. I made the middle rupee red as sort of a reward for the player in case they wanted to risk getting close to the banzai bill’s launch point. I don’t remember if Pyro showed it off, but there’s a conveyor belt below that section set to 32x speed that will whooooooosh the player back to the beginning of that section if they fall.

Sheath's general silence was partly due to the fact that I didn't really feel confident writing for her, and partly because I was referencing A2XT Sheath who was mostly silent.

The only lua I used was a script to make the rainbow blocks auto-adjust to the right color on level startup because I’m lazy and didn’t want to place all of them individually. I also used a character filter, but it looks like that wasn’t necessary.

Also to clarify, it’s not that I don’t like my level, I just really wasn’t expecting it to do so well, haha. Super flattered and glad it did though!

also here are the names I actually submitted:
