I expect the mix-up with the "victory condition" rule will have impacted your score but fwiw I thought your level this week was really good. I had loads of fun with your levels throughout. :wub:

Tbh, I think some of the longer levels (like my own level) without checkpoints made dying tedious. Having to do a whole level again when you die right at the end is super annoying.

I'm annoyed with mine for that, as I'd finished it before trying to place a checkpoint, then saw it cleared the conditions so wasn't useable. I'd probably have made the boss fight autonomous if I'd realised or something.

Same which is why I made a split, but thems the rules.

Don't blame the rules, blame Nintendo

Are you going to take 2 hours this time? :shifty:

I got trapped by Bowser in the corner by the locked door first attempt, it was a bit annoying that I had to restart especially given the death didn't feel like my fault. Managed it on my second attempt but I think it killed my desire to try and set a speedrun record unfortunately

As always thanks to everyone who joined in with the results stream, which featured our first elimination! :cry:

First up the results for Round 5 were as follows:

Round 5 Results

So what does that mean for our table and who do we have to sadly say goodbye to this time? All is revealed in the spoiler below:

Round 5 Table

And so with one player down we march onward to Round 6 where we will see who is "On The Right Track" to victory and who has veered off course to become our next elimination!

Pedz

Shame we have to eliminate people, but I suppose it ramps up the tension.

Was mine too long or/and difficult? Too much going on? Constructive feedback would be helpful thank you.

Had an idea for the next level (thanks Orange 8-)

) started it and it’s kinda working, Would like to add in something but not sure how so I just need to look into how to get it to work (if it’s possible) and make it my own. Pleased with what I’ve built so far though. Should be a lot shorter than my last level.

Ive been screwed by item limitations :cry:

Pedz, your levels have been great for me, but it has been very tough ranking all the levels. I think I might have placed you high on a few occasions, as I have enjoyed them a lot. It's unfortunate you had to be eliminated first.

Now, let's take a think of the best way to use tracks for this next level.

Yeah I liked your level and I do think it was just the length of it without having a checkpoint where it compared less favourably to some of the others. Specifically setups where you have to survive a set amount of time become tiresome more quickly to repeat and there were 3 separate instances of those I think? I really enjoyed all the mechanical experimentation but perhaps it was a little overkill - a shorter level with more of a focus on just one or two of those ideas wouldn't have lost anything I don't think.

Interested what this is now!

My level is basically finished, just need to do a final pass/playtest I think.

Thanks Orange, appreciate that, I thought as much. Obviously when I originally made it, it had checkpoints but when I seen the rules I had to change it and didn’t want to lose all the work I had done.

You have used a lot of tracks in previous levels, took some of what I’ve seen

Hey Rubix, I thought your level was really good, it just as you say got hampered by the difficulty and removal of checkpoints. I tried a few times but could do the main route, so was only able to get to the end of the green course. I think having to sit and wait until each room did it's thing didn't help on the harder route (especially getting killed in the boss room and having to do it all again).

Also having so few of us in the competition doesn't help, because just a few preferred levels above yours already puts you in the lower end of the points awarded, where it may not be that indicative of the quality.

Thanks Victor, seems you both are saying what I expected when I had to change it. I think I started learning new mechanics and couldn’t stop.

I should have stuck to one design and run with it and maybe shortened the time you spent in each room.

My level had one comment but it was in Japanese. After screenshotting, posting to twitter, running through an online OCR tool to get a text file, and running that through google translate, I finally know that "Okamura" thinks my level was "difficult only with a little bit" but "fun and fun" :datass:

Sounds like the kind of feedback I get on my sexual performance
