Hey there, everyone. It turns out I made a level for this thing! Oh man! I've debated not showing it off, but in the end, I couldn't resist. The level is already complete and was before the original deadline, so it's in its finished state. Have a few screenies because why not:
Unlike last year, the difficulty is significantly toned down. This will sound really strange, but I'm not actually trying to win anything this year. This is an experiment to see how my early game level design (the kind I would use in my own pet project) holds up against the design philosophies of others, and this level presents with mid-game difficulty to up its impression without being overbearing. Weird, right?
I was also a little more aesthetically-minded this time, as you can see. I'm still going with the SMW-like saturated palette style I used last year to once again set it apart from other entries in that regard.
I hope it looks good! I'll be submitting this in a little while.
The palette choices look well done, and the night sky really seems to make the foreground pop out and look that much better. The level itself looks fair game, and I can imagine tricky jumps won't be a problem this time.
Oh wait, he did finish it.

Thanks, levelengine. I'm glad to see the reception has been positive thus far. And yeah, the level was done before I made the thread; actually, it was done yesterday before I found out that the deadline was extended.
This level was pretty fun, though I was surprised at how long it was. I didn't expect around...maybe 0D screens until I got to the midway point.
It was actually quite entertaining. It was; again, pretty long, but it's pretty good for an early-midgame point in a game. Maybe a parakoopa or two in the section with just some floating islands and some spike tops would do it good, since it felt a little empty. Good job otherwise though!
