BaseROM Level Design Contest 2022 - Results


Before we get into the official results, let's hear from official SMWC fan judge Jonathan Frakes. Jonathan, what did you think of this year's BLDC levels?



Special Recognition

Before we get into the final scores, we should all take a moment and thank the engine that drove this contest, my cohost and friend  AmperSam. Not only did they build the baserom on which all of this started, but they went above and beyond to make sure that it had everything people wanted for the contest, both before and during the submission period.

Thanks, Amper. We couldn't have had this contest without you.

We should also thank our esteemed panel of judges for their efforts, deliberation and expertise: Nitrogen, Morsel,  Alex,  patcdr and mason. Thank you!

Ok, coffee break over. Let's pull back this curtain.

I'm not a doctor.

Wow, top 10? I'm surprised.
Cool levels this year! I hope this contest becomes a regular.
GG to everyone who participated in this contest! #thp{;)}

As for myself, 42/52nd isn't bad, especially for my first contest!

We've all really done well this contest, and may we have our trophies!
My best contest performance to date, just shy of the top 10. :O Gonna try and get it next time.

14th huh :D honestly higher than I expected but still good!
I am truly surprised that my entry didn't get disqualified.
Kirbo was here
I'm glad that they saw the reasoning behind my level idea here. I understand the criticism, and I thought I was just playing badly during my testing due to my brain not cooperating (thinking even a teen kid could do better) and some input lag I'm feeling (hence too impatient to do it tool-less until the last days). Perhaps I should have switched the
double boss bass
for more of the
swimming fish/dolphins
while still keeping the symmetry nature of big and small areas. But I thought going under was a good enough of a justification and thought someone could do the part better than me, so I couldn't resist that "What if" to see if I could prove myself wrong and not miss an opportunity.

I will say that I was pleasantly surprised by a couple giving me higher than 70 because I thought it was simply average overall, and I didn't have high hopes for it. 44th out of 52nd isn't too bad and is suitable enough given the simplicity and moderate thinking involved.

Check out my WIP romhack!

I didn't expect to finish 19th, but I'm happy.
Congratulations all winner!
I am yoshi9429 enjoying Lunar Magic and Touhou Danmakufu ph3 and RPG Maker MV.
I had zero surprises with the first place. That was a really clever entry.

Though to be honest, this BLDC had some pretty rad entries this time around, no joke. Congrats, everyone!
Windowless ride, feeling alive
Are you alive or just breathing?
Oh, 45th place huh.

I was in a rush trying to finish my entry which is why the level design is kind of lacking in terms of the main gimmick.

Long time listener, first time caller... Congrats to all participants! Will the levels be put into a collective download?
Ooooh, 23rd?? 8>

Proud of myself for breaking top 50% - feels like proof that I'm improving!
Thank you to all the judges for your thorough feedback. (and to mason for the generous 96/100, what the hell?? thank you!!)
line guide gimmick supremacy foiled by a visibility gimmick of all things???
in all seriousness though gbreeze truly deserved it. Congrats everyone else for all the cool levels, and thank you judges!
Yooo 18th? I definitely can't complain :O

In retrospect, my level has a decent amount of issues so I'm glad it scored as high as it did
And good job everyone else!! #thp{>_<1}
Progress Update!!
ok it's cool and everything but where's the collab hack

Congratulations to everyone who participed to the contest, there was a lot of cool levels and it was a pleasure to be a judge for this contest!

Oh, 36th. I should probably make my level maybe a bit easier next time and I can understand the judges feedback. However, I still had fun in this contest! Congrats to the winners!
