To celebrate the incredible array of levels you have created for this forum, we have started a small level creation competition.
The Objective
The theme of this competition is "Small World". Levels have to have size 14x14, and should be as compactly designed as possible. How much puzzle, adventure, challenge, and fun can you make into a small space? Get editing, and find out!
What are we looking for?
Fun levels, 14x14 or smaller (i.e. by using walls or empty space). Levels will be judged on
(a) compactness (remember, "Small World"!),
How effective was your use of space? How many puzzles/challenges/etc were you able to pack into the level? Clearly you can create a tiny level (just Stinky and an exit), but you'll need to balance level size and level fun.
As a little bonus level, we've attached an example of a 14x14 level with lots of different puzzles (warning: it's kinda tough!).
(b) inventiveness,
Did you come up with new ideas to create puzzles or action challenges? Clever little ideas? New ways to combine gameplay elements?
(c) fun.
The most important part, is it fun to play? Note that level difficulty is not a factor. Both very easy and very hard levels can be a lot of fun to play - and that's the most important part.
The Procedure
We will accept level creations until Wednesday, February 4th, 2004. E-mail your *.lev level files as attachments to our "infos" e-mail address until that date. We will post all entries on February 5th, at which point you can play and comment on the entries. Winners will be selected by us on Wednesday, February 11th, 2004.
The Prizes
What do you mean... prizes? You mean the excitment of competition in itself is not enough???

Rules, Rules, Rules... PLEASE READ!
1. Above all - this is primarily a competition for fun! No cheating, no copying, no other nastiness. Play nice!

2. One entry per person only! You are not allowed to submit more than one level... so test it carefully, and make it a good one!
3. You may not post the level for comments or feedback before the competition closes. We will post all entries on February 5th, and you can download/play/comment on all levels after that point.
4. While we will take all of your posted comments into account, the final decision on the three winning level designs will be that of Midnight Synergy only. No arguing!

5. Just in case (!), we must reserve the right to disqualify level entries if we feel it necessary.
6. All entries (unless disqualified for any reason) will be included in a competition level pack and also posted in the "Level Packs" forum. By submitting a level you agree that your level may be included.
Have fun, and good luck!!!
