Description: This is The Junkbox. It features my contest entries that would never see the light of day after the contests had ended. Most of the levels didn't do well, but I feel they make okayish levels for a playable hack. I hope somebody out there enjoys them anyway. If not, well... I tried.

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.1

- A new eventless flat OW - We all know that the Earth is flat. Why would I even try to deny it? The OW being eventless was inspired from VLDCs & Notte Luminosa.
- Small fixes to existing levels - These were contest levels. It's hard to change things without going too far off the deep end. So the likelihood is levels you thought sucked in the previous version still suck, since the level design hasn't really been changed at all.
- Save prompts - You no longer have to beat the whole thing in one go. You can actually take a break.
- New level - Yup, that's what gave me an excuse to even update this thing.

Cool hack, but I'm not too sure about that easy difficulty. This doesn't feel like something casuals would be able to do with little difficulty.

i really Love the Whole idea of a Hack and i try every 4-5 Months to get into it
Unfortunately everytime i try it the hack i choose is way to hard for me so i give up
i normaly choose Hacks which say "Normal difficulty"
most of the time..they arent...

so...this time i tryed this one to get into it
and i have to say that it was to hard for an "EASY" Difficulty
i expect from an easy Hack that its a litle bit harder than the normal games
but this one had verry often Levels that were to long
the checkpoints were bad or not there at all
and some places had trial and error
or have expected from you something like
"dont kill the Koopa you need his shell,otherwise you cant pass the enemy"
"dont lose yoshi or you have a verry hard time"
and the spikes insta killed me...
and i dont think you should see something like that in an easy hack...you know...a hack..for poor beginners like me
they often kill koopas without taking their shell... :D

the best example would be the last Level
it had no checkpoint..was like..10 Minutes long..and had some cruel moments were you likely will DIE on the first try..and its pretty mean if you dont have a checkpoint even tho you were like 5 Minutes in this Level
so i had to set my own checkpoints with Savestates allthough am not a huge fan of the Savestates

but like i tryed to explain above..i am just a noob who trys to come into this whole hack thingy...so what do i know right?^^

the Levels aside from the difficulty were verry creative
each one had their own enemys and trials which i really liked
i really liked the music and the ideas in it
so dont get me wrong..i had my fun
but am not sure if i would have completet it without the Savestates :D

i give it a 2 out of 5

i made a Blind Lets Play Video out of it
my Youtube Name is the Same as here
(am not sure if am allowed to link it so i wont do it xD)

so yea..thanks for the 1 Hour Entertainment^^
maybe i see you again with another hack :)

Lazy's comments on the previous submission are well thought out and roughly the same as mine, so I'm just gonna paste his here and comment on the new level:

Since there are only five levels, I'll just quickly comment on each one.

Summertime:
The idea of using 5 tile high pokeys as a gimmick was cool and I appreciate the reset houses you can use in case you lose your Yoshi. However, I felt that the level ended before it really started. You could've done a lot more with this idea (for instance: eating pokey segment while avoiding projectiles, getting off Yoshi in certain spot to spawn in short pokeys, custom pokey sprites etc.).
Also, the venus plant after the first pokey hopping segment is very hard to dodge. At least there's a reset, but it felt unfair nonetheless.

Holy Heavens:
The "no spinjump" sign isn't very clear. I didn't understand what it meant at first and promptly died because I tried to spinjump. A crossed out A would've been much better. Also, whenever you disable the spinjump button, make sure it makes you do a normal jump instead of just doing nothing. It may sound silly, but it is very helpful for people who try to spinjump out of habit.
The level itself was good, though the fire flower is incredibly overpowered. Again, you could've done more cool stuff with the nipper sprites (guiding a nipper up a stack of clouds comes to mind).

Bowel Relaxation:
Pretty rompy level, dunno what to say about it. Good job placing the swoopers in actually threatening places most of the time - it's something a lot of hackers neglect to do. It's a bit silly how the invisible mushroom blocks are solid before you hit them. Also these fake buzzy beetles are illegal

Alternative:
Simple but fun. The sparky placements were awkward sometimes, but it's not a big issue. I don't get why the thwomp + moving block + sparky obstacle was used twice in a row tho.

The Boney Crew:
This would've been a lot better if you had used a faster autoscroll. My experience with this level was basically just waiting while dodging bowser statues that were barely a threat. Towards the end it goes into some slightly more interesting setups but it doesn't last very long.


Stomach:
It's all very same-y. The horizontal sections are all waiting and jumping over the same obstacle with only minor variations, and the vertical rising blocks aren't even a threat until the very end of the level. It really needed some variation in the enemies or some twist in the gimmick to keep it fresh.

The first level is hard. I couldn't beat it.

I can make a video playing this hack?

There's also I Come In Peace by levelengine, which have same "include contest entries" idea, so it's nothing new.

Yeah, the idea isn't exactly a new one. Many people have done it before. It's hacks like those that inspired me to make this.

I've seen that idea in Contest Maniac.
