Did the 30 minute blitz. Rolled desert theme, using enemies and arrows with the rest forbidden. Don't know if coins are fine but the level seemed barren and kinda bad with just hills, buildings, and enemies, so I added them for flavor. Don't want to screw anyone over playing Endless or whatever. Name: Deserted Desert

Also thanks for the comment on the other stage, I totally missed that you could just get stuck there!

Random Stranger posted:It's time for more jam levels. If you check the spreadsheet I went a bit more esoteric with my interpretation of what "Try Switch" meant. I made that level on a ten hour car ride whenever I wasn't driving - a good example of why you should try the Switch. As for the difficulty I mean, not everything has to be kaizo hard.

There used to be a goon widget for the first MM that spat out a level theme, a couple of terrain features, a gizmo, and an enemy to use in your level. It was a really cool little widget and I think we could do with that remade for MM2 with added features like night/day and clear condition. I love just making levels but sometimes it's nice to have a bit of guidance because I know I made some levels that I otherwise never would have made using that previous widget and they were some of my best. In fact that widget was what initially taught me to limit myself to only a few course elements at a time.

I've yet to see a map tagged multiplayer versus that was actually good for versus. More often than not they contain tons of elements that are loving awful in versus. Do people really not get that boss fights with keys slow everyone down to the same drat spot?

DalaranJ posted:It's time for a trial Blitz run. Blitz 0. Okay, it's my Blitz Naught entry, My rolls 1,5 so Sky theme, clouds as my brick (convenient), mushroom power up. No bloopers, beetles, or arrows allowed. I decided on one hour as my build time. Here is is: Wreckage Re-Entry 65J-N1K-3FF So, this needs a lot of iteration, testing, and refinement. I think you can tell from how sloppy the coin trails are. A tip: you can steal the logos from the Mushroom Kingdom space program in the opening section and you might find it useful. Regarding the requirements, you may be asking, "Where are the mushrooms and clouds?" and to that I reply, "Who do you think is playing the music?"

Made a level using the Cranes and flowing lava in the game, I tried to make this one harder than my past ones (I stink at precision jumps so it took me so long to clear, I also learned that when clearing a level with a check point for upload you have to beat it first without the checkpoint in use.....)

I made a new level but decided if I'm going to post levels, I need to be better about trying other people's levels off of the randomized spread sheet from the first page. https://randomactsofmario.com/ DH 1-1 By: Dieting Hippo 9CJ-9N5-LMF This level was a lot of fun, I like a slightly harder version of the first level. It started to get a bit hectic at the end with the Koopa Troopas. I'm amazed at the clear rate on this level. Duel on the Bridge By: Svdl F9J-VLB-JSG A lot going on in this level. A brief bit of platforming. At the start I thought I was going to have to chain cannon ball jump to go up and felt like an idiot when I realized the lower one was just barely in my jump range. Enjoyed the use of check points. The little bit after the duel was unexpected but cool. Spooky Night, Holy Light By: SamFausr 9CX-9Y1-WSG I played a good chunk of this level without realizing you can briefly light up the room by crouching. I hated it for all the blind jumps before I realized that. After it became a better level, difficult but fair. Right before the first checkpoint, I was getting mad about lack of check points. Great timing on that one. Buzzy Buddies By: someone awful. WGH-G8K-XDF This game reminds me of auto scrollers from Mario 3. In a normal game, it'd be a fun change of pace level you could play for an alternate map route. Nice and relaxing level. See the Saws By: Cheetah7071 GVL-H6F-T8G Loved this level, especially once the underground Thwomp bit started. The end was a little mean but also hilarious. Perilous Pipes By: The Lobster 00M-D0Q-WJF This level was great, loved the aesthetics. At one point I wanted to try to bounce across the first section just on goombas but gave up after a few attempts. One bold attempt had be trying to bring the Koopa Troopa shell along. He woke up and that will probably be the highest death that has happened on that level.  I decided to try another attempt at a multiplayer themed level. I wish they would make it easier to play local multiplayer. Spacebump fucked around with this message at 20:29 on Jul 4, 2019 |

Some goon level reviews! Bombs in the Clouds by nrook KFR-K84-X0H I liked this one. Using the flying cannons as both lofts and obstacles was a good idea, and it was fun to use them as stepping stones to secrets above. It's nice that you didn't punish people for falling, but I kept catching glimpses of the ? blocks containing vines and jumping down there in search of powerups and secrets. The Last Shack on the Left by E.G.G.S. KMD-8TT-PYG The second, dark area is a pretty good example of something that's a lot easier for the creator than for a new player. It seems like death is all but guaranteed on the first try or two, because it's not clear where to go in the darkness, and the autoscroll doesn't give the player any time to swing around and probe the limits of their little light sphere. Once you know the locations of the claws, you can blast right through it without a problem, but learning those locations costs you a couple of lives and the level doesn't give you any 1UPs to make up for it. Don't Switch the Switch! by Mega64 DLY-J79-LXG Took a lot of tries, since it's a puzzle level that kills you immediately if you don't solve the puzzle in time, but it was a great idea, with a variety of puzzles sharing a consistent theme, and kept me engaged enough to keep trying until I won. Airship Rumble! by Chronojam PK6-XLJ-4BG The part right around the checkpoint is really painful. If you respawn from the checkpoint, you have to backtrack to get the key again, and you have to go through a mole-spewing pipe to continue, where grabbing the powerup actually makes it worse since you have to chase the mushroom right into the swarm of moles.

Good stuff! Fun concept and I feel like you iterated on it well as the level progressed. The dry bones in the second half were trolly as hell but I'm also just kind of bad at the cranes.

DalaranJ posted:Please provide feedback and the format of the blitz, should some of the items be removed from the random pull (like I don't know, Arrow Sign?), should everyone get enemies as required, should forbidden be removed? The concept of forbidding things is good, but with a large palette just forbidding one thing isn't great. Maybe if for enemies and devices it was three or four things that were the only ones a player could use or were verboten it would feel more structured.

I am hit with instant inspiration for what I rolled on my Blitz stage. I hope it plays good cause I gotta go fast when I start  Also yeah just banning one thing is kinda weak. I see that I can't use cloud platforms and just "ah, guess I'll just use some semi-solids instead". Only thing I'm stuck on is how to use mushrooms but... I think I have a way. God I'm excited to see if my idea works as well as I hope.

Thanks for your review! I was just dicking around when I made this one and I stumbled across that aesthetic and decided it was really great. It took me quite a while to clear but that was actually because my cycles were off. Once I fixed them it still took me a solid 45 minutes, haha. You have to clear it without using the checkpoint first. It was a fun level to make! ThisIsACoolGuy posted:I am hit with instant inspiration for what I rolled on my Blitz stage.

So I generated SMB3, Desert, Night, Steep Slopes, Ice Blocks, Spinies, and Bumpers. Christ. Welp! I'll work on that once I'm back from the family thing. OK, saw the post about the Blitz once it was quoted. My second enemy is Muncher, my powerup is the Invincibility Star (... OK then). My forbidden items are Cheep-cheep and the checkpoint flag... Oh dear. More clear: Style: SMB3 Theme: Desert Day/Night: Night Terrain: Steep Slopes, Ice Blocks Enemies: Spiny, Muncher Gizmo: Bumper Power Up: Invincibility Star Forbidden: Cheep-cheep, Checkpoint flag There used to be a widget that did this.

Boom Boom's Fortress 27S-180-YNF This one is a vertically-oriented level with a focus on sawblades, thwomps, and spikes. It's relatively short, and not too difficult. There's a checkpoint right before a section that might be tricky for some. Give it a shot and let me know what you think.

This is my first sky level, I’ve mostly stuck to designing castles and airships and wanted to branch out a bit. It’s all about blinking blocks! Since this is my first sky level I’d definitely appreciate feedback, I honestly can’t tell if it’s too easy or kind of bullshit. https://twitter.com/pkfortis/status/1146874758123810816

Here is a review from me: I went to pick a random one from the list and got Pixeltendo's 1-3 Thwomp Tromp well I liked it so much I had to see what else he made well an hour later, I've played all your levels and they are amazing! I actually had my wife play them as well and she thought the same thing. Some levels were harder than others, but themes were on point and none seem too difficult. My favorite ones were: 1-3 Thwomp Tromp - MQK-LMW-W8G: The theming the was on point, I enjoyed the land of the Thwomps and the different ways they were used in the levels 2-1 Shred end- 997-KJN-TSG: This was another one that had great theming and the right amount of difficulty. Ones that were eh: 2-4 Race Space - M8X-14B-V6G: I understand this one was for multiplayer but it has too many extra noises and went by way to fast.

My blitz theme was desert with mushrooms and clouds. So I made SA Blitz Jam: Flip the Shroom DN8-KCV-0KF  I didn't quite hit the half-hour cheetah speed (despite my username...) but I hit the hour timer with plenty to spare. Level should be fairly easy because it doesn't kill you when you screw up (...usually). The idea could be made into a very trollish kaizo stage but this one just did the most basic ideas with it and didn't go for anything tricky.

My second level: Snowpeak Descent! Slide down the snowy peaks and investigate the ice caverns. L72-QWS-2JG. As before, any feedback would be greatly appreciated, especially regarding difficulty. I'd like the difficulty of my levels to be similar to mid-game SMB3 levels, and I don't want anything that feels cheap. I'm looking forward to playing more of the ones you all have posted too. Keep up the great work!

I was tinkering around, experimenting with fast movement platforms, realized I was making a sucky auto level and tried to salvage it. Man, it really sucks when you draw some cool ideas on paper and they turn out to not work as intended. This one's hella short and features conveyor belt and claw mechanics (SMB3, Snow): N4J-V3L-VJG Anyways, I've been working on a larger vertical level the last couple days now but I can't decide on a name. I'm thinking either 'Mounting Madness', ' Antarctic Ascent', or 'Shoggoth Summit'. Something along those lines. You can probably guess the theme. Any ideas?

I wouldn't call it difficult (though I did manage to die twice) but the first half has a lot of waiting for things to happen. It makes it easier to become reckless and make dumb mistakes. Skipping every other platform did help however. The second half was much better. And the section near the goalpost got me good, I didn't know there was a floor there. Thought I wasn't gonna make it.
