hot garbage level design contest 3!

hot garbage ldc 3 is here!!!



starting friday, march 28th at 8pm edt, i'm gonna be getting on stream to kick off another hot garbage level design contest!!

the basic idea is that a bunch of us get together and make a bunch of stupid stuff, no prior romhacking experience necessary! quick and dirty level design, questionability, and having fun with it are highly encouraged!!!!! to give everyone a fair shot at making something, i'll be live on stream and in discord to help any newcomers along, and the entrants will have 24 hours to build and test their hacks, with a viewing ceremony on stream the next day. the winners will be voted on via a google form after all entries have been submitted, and an award stream will take place the next week on friday, april 4th, at 8pm edt. i'm super excited for this, and i hope to see you there!

contest rules:
-vanilla only
-24 hour design/submission period
-infinite lives or life farm required
-must be rta-viable!
-submit here or in my discord
-levels due saturday, march 29th at 8pm edt

voting:
-full zip of entries will be posted here when voting begins
-top 3 favorites get a point
-1 week voting period, closes april 4th, 8pm edt
-1st 2nd and 3rd will get a small prize!

important links:
-twitch
-discord

hopefully i haven't forgotten anything important, but if i did then that's okay, the whole point of the contest is just to get out and make something new! hope to see you there!

Glad to see a contest on here, be sure to use the Submissions Open tag when it's ready for submissions!

oh hell yes. my inner little timmy will love this one

kicking it off on stream now! feel free to stop in and say 'hey' or ask some questions :3

stream is over, i'll be back on later around 8pm edt to look at some entries! if you have any questions i'll be checking this thread, but feel free to poke me on discord dms or in my server. after it wraps up and all the entries are in and zipped up, i'll post the full zip here and in my discord, as well as a voting form for entrants or players to pick their favorites. good luck everyone!

My level, tentatively titled Poop Poop Pooper because you can spell it with vanilla tiles

Some notes (HEAVY SPOILERS)

PICK YOUR GARBAGE (updated with a new level name more related to the theme, a removal of one uninteresting room and various changes)

I couldn't resist to make something convoluted and messed up. Hopefully it's hot garbage (I'm sure it is) and fun to play (I'm sure it isn't).
Made with Lunar Magic 1.63 for no peculiar reason.

omg thank you guys so much!! just a few hours left to submit, i'll be going on stream later to close everything down! i'm excited to play both of these

Garbage temperature of this entry is yet to be determined

Garbo Ghost - HGLDC3

Tapeworm

set out to make trash but ended up making old school kaizo...not sure how that happened. Only my 2nd finished level and the 24 hour time limit helped me actually finish something

Wanted to make more for this, but 24 hours is not a lot of time so it will do.

warning: difficult

sup worlk rorld

second exit is questionably rta-able (((:

i'm not gonna sweat if there's some broken stuff and people need to resubmit btw! i'll mark it as submissions closed but if you already have something just put it in the thread anyway.

deena
akawo
mithrillionaire
the gremlin
pandarf_

i think this is all the entries that were submitted in the discord and not here. thanks to all the participants for making such a great hgldc!!

oh and one update, i'll be getting the zip and voting form together in the next few days (probably not today as originally anticipated) but feel free to play through and write some notes down if you want!

alright so here it is everyone!

full contest zip
voting form

votes are open to anyone who plays or created the levels. i mainly ask that if you vote you give all the entries a fair look-through and maybe take some notes! also please don't submit multiple voting forms to "stuff the ballot box" so-to-speak, this is a friendly contest and messing with the votes would just be annoying! if something whacky does happen, i'll make a new form with email confirmation enabled but i hope it doesn't come to that.

once again, thanks to everyone who participated, this was an amazing contest and every single entry is worthy of a prize!!

and that's a wrap!!!

in a 4-way tie for second, we have
SpaceGlam, Deena, Pandarf_, and BlueRibbonHighLife!!

but coming out on top, with a level that was a delightful mix of garbage and good level design is

HwailaLuta with the level Wet Hot!!

I'll do a small award ceremony on my stream and say a few words about the winners! Thank you again to everyone who participated, everyone's levels were great and you all deserve prizes!!

I've got one last wrap-up post myself after the award ceremony, but otherwise feel free to post any thoughts on this contest, its rules, levels, or maybe even thoughts for future ones! i'm excited to host again someday soon <3

This was fun to partake, thank you for hosting!

What's the full ranking if I may ask?
