Re: MaGL 3 results: chatter those teeth
I personally really liked levelengine's...? It gets kinda tedious and stressful sometimes but it's really not that hard and it's fun to do the obstacles anyways. Idk. Maybe I just had a different experience than others with it. I can see why people don't like the style of level design in the second half but I personally like it. probably because having seperate challenges all the time is how i make my levels too looooool.......

Re: MaGL 3 results: chatter those teeth
When I use a certain block/sprite/asm gimmick for the first time, I often experiment with it to whatever degree possible, while still thinking about how hard it is to do. I'm thinking back to some of the levels in JUMP which also feel experimental in nature, and feel very different from the traditional run and jump (say Perilous Pier's fast sliding section), or say Shouldering On. They all have their gimmicks and sometimes encourage the player to think completely differently about what the gimmick is.Le Neveu de Rameau wrote:The second half of this level seems an unfortunate poster child for what might be called the "academic" approach to level design; that is, it seems more interested in exploring the possible variations on a particular gimmick rather than providing an enjoyable experience.. I don't simply mean that the second half is too long, hard, and punishing (though is); despite the obvious effort that went into designing the individual setups, the second half as a whole just feels less well put-together when taken as a whole. Look at the structure of the two halves: the first is organic, with each challenge flowing into the next. It feels like Mario is progressing seemlessly through a genuine environment. The gimmick is introduced gradually, piece-by-piece, with increasing complexity. There's a good sense of motion and natural profession on all fronts, and it really feels well-designed and enjoyable.
more often known as levelengine

Echoing my thoughts on the second level - loved the gimmick, didn't love the length/padding.

Re: MaGL 3 results: chatter those teeth
i'll be really impressed if someone manages to top the sheer charm that dental desert had. something about a desert level but full of teeth and dental equipment is really charming to me. though at first i thought the toothbrush rexes were wearing face covering masks instead of being a toothbrush
levelengine's level was unfortunate. it had a great ol' start but the second half seemed to get a bit wonky. it seemed like a computer made it, generating some of the possible setups a challenge with fast platforms. fuzzies, shell kicking koopas, and weird heads could make. i did dig the whole thing with deleting blocks with the extendo block, i found it weirdly cool.

Re: MaGL 3 results: chatter those teeth
If the level stopped after that shell/springboard puzzle it would've been absolutely fantastic.
Re: MaGL 3 results: chatter those teeth
There only one other level coming up that I feel tops the desert in terms of charm alone. I also marked it as my personal favorite in this contest, so I'm stoked to see it played.Divemissile wrote:i'll be really impressed if someone manages to top the sheer charm that dental desert had. something about a desert level but full of teeth and dental equipment is really charming to me.

Re: MaGL 3 results: you are a cool spud
And thus MaGL 3 fulfills its "Luigi is dead" quota.
I, too, found Luigi's room genuinely sad. The setup suggests the whole affair is going to be played for laughs: "OH MAN, Luigi died again so they just threw him in cave this time, whadda dork! And this is followed by a cheerful and silly level, so you expect a punchline when you actually reach his burial place...but it's actually just sort of quietly sad to see Luigi's body lying there, and you can't help but share Waluigi's muted disgust at the lack of respect shown to his lover. This level certainly has the most unique and unusual emotional effect on the player of any in the contest.
And I don't care if you had to play the level again, that secret exit was magnificent.

Re: MaGL 3 results: you are a cool spud
maglovania was cute. i didn't like undertale that much, but the think the flavoring is nice anyways and it's a fairly well made yet repetitive level.
i love the waluigi level so much aaa. i like waluigi a lot (though most of it is just from his overalls being a pretty color) and the level was great and it looked beautiful too. i'm not sure if i like the secret exit not only being at the end but also only on the second playthrough. that's kinda lame. i also might have used the same waluigi graphics in the chocolate level design contest so i could be a bit biased

Re: MaGL 3 results: you are a cool spud
For as much as idol's level does right, the HUD was absolutely maddening to me because I just watched it slowly creep into position and died an old lady before it finally set into place. Seriously, I don't understand why it's so important to delay the life total for like five minutes after you picked up the life.
Also the water that was semi-transparent but wasn't really bugged me. It usually bugs me but I guess it was worse this time because of the waterfalls. That's an effect that really needs to affect sprites for it to not look broken, honestly.

Re: MaGL 3 results: you are a cool spud
Aw yeah Undertale level, let's go, bones everywhere for cool dudes on skateboards
Also on that tooth level yesterday: charming as all get out
But totally a wasted opportunity not to resprite Dr. Rabbit's cloud as a hot-air balloon.
Also Luigi giveth himself over to dark forces, the reason why he was unburied was because his corpse was used in an unholy ritual of terrible power
and now we join him in his eternal, mad rest. laughing at the edge of the world as everything burns
