CLOUD CITY JUDGING

Ascension by APulse


THEME: 45 / 50 = great pagodas, loved the jump into the clouds, felt like a badass

GAME: 30 / 50 = the guns managed to get right in my face every time i was trying a badass precise movement.

LOOK: 20 /30 = floating pagodas are both flavorful and cool looking! It's pretty sparse though.

TOTAL: 95 / 130

Acrocity by lsudny

THEME: 40 / 50 = aah, nothing quite like a sunset on the horizon :3 they could be clouds, they could be buildings!

GAME: 35 / 50 = frantically running for cover was fun.

LOOK: 21 / 30 = what a sunset!

TOTAL: 96 / 130

Darth Caber by mammaletto


THEME: 28 / 50 = my blood ran cold as this new revelation came to light: LUKE AH'M YER DA

GAME: 38 / 50 = lasers worked great, the platforms were happily in all the right places to save my sorry ass.

LOOK: 18 / 30 = LUKE, DIDYA HEAR ME. While fun, it only loosely clings to the theme, kind of like how luke loosely clung to that trash chute in bespin :O

TOTAL: 84 / 130



Obviously Clouds by script

THEME: 43 / 50 = well, obviously! i may be (read: i am) being overly artsy here, but the juxtaposition ( check out my badass word ) of the angular sun and blocky clouds lends an urban feel to the clouds.

GAME: 32 / 50 = cute, clean, simple. Worked out p well bro

LOOK: 22 / 30 = I coudl totally see this being drawn in gray chalk

TOTAL: 98 / 130




Stack City by gloomp

THEME: 45 / 50 = a shimmering city in the clouds! it fits the theme guh-rately

GAME: 29 / 50 = pushing the blocks was frequently a ticket to death, especially in the beginning yo. perhaps less mines

LOOK: 20 / 30 = "Why is Cloud 9 so amazing? What is wrong with Cloud 8? That joke came off the top of my head, and the top of my head ain't funny!"

TOTAL: 94 / 130




Crystal City by ska


THEME: 36 / 50 = I see the city! i see the clouds! i feel like it's in a cave!

GAME: 33 / 50 = this is a pretty blazin' race

LOOK: 19 / 30 = feels very oldschool!

TOTAL: 87 / 130







Eye O' The Storm by Erik_Player

THEME: 42 / 50 = oh erik :3

GAME: 34 / 50 = it's so disorienting!! ;_;

LOOK: 25 / 30 = the eye o the storm looks cool as hell

TOTAL: 101 / 130






They came out of the moon by 1211


THEME: 38 / 50 = that laser certainly comes out of the moon

GAME: 37 / 50 = interesting paths, lots of stuff to do, going outside is dangerous...

LOOK: 26 / 30 = i dig the clocktower look

TOTAL: 101 / 130




Cloudsdale by maxson924

THEME: 29 / 50 = it's certainly a city...

GAME: 29 / 50 = the laser was a huge pain. Seekers managed to team up with the laser very well.

LOOK: 22 / 30 = ...not feelin' the clouds though

TOTAL: 80 / 130





Sky Saw by Tommy_Wiseau

THEME: 45 / 50 = i really liked the cloud of rockets present at all times coupled with the high velocity of the ninja

GAME: ??????? = i have no idea how to judge this section

LOOK: ??????? = or this one

TOTAL: 90ish or something / 130 = A pretty cool dda! you got bonus points for originality with the theme, but idk how to even place this D:







CLOUD CITY by kiaora


THEME: 43 / 50 = If you can bribe a member of Bespin's Wing Guard into taking you on a spin around Cloud City, you won't regret spending the credits. The views are stunning.

GAME: 31 / 50 = the laser got some suprising shots off. very satisfying to get all da gold

LOOK: 25 / 30 = looks like bespin, feels like bespin, tastes like bespin (loves like bespin :3c)

TOTAL: 99 / 130



Bespin Gas by flagmyidol


THEME: 43 / 50 = interesting take on the theme! i like it

GAME: 30 / 50 = i was reluctant to slow down and play all puzzle-like, but when i did it was pretty interesting.

LOOK: 24 / 30 = they certainly look like city blocks! lol

TOTAL: 97 / 130






When The Cirrus Came To Town by ChrisE


THEME: 40 / 50 = AWWWW, U A PUNNY GUY CHRISSY

GAME: 30 / 50 = very chill. pushing the blocks was satisfying somehow, kind of like hurling pillows at family members

LOOK: 23 / 30 = yep, it's a cloud city

TOTAL: 94 / 130




Cloud Rat by the23


THEME: 37 / 50 = interesting design made for a cool look.

TOTAL: 95 / 130





Tears in their eyes by Sunset

wait, "started already" meaning maps in progres you haven't posted?
as long as you haven't posted the map to NUMA before my post announcing the start of the second round, you can do w/e you want.

and yeah, you can get your maps playtested. but not by me. or any judges! (i think apse is going to help me judge this round) :D

PATTERNS AND TEXTURES

Dissociative Personalities in Constant Ambulation by maxson924


THEME : 33 The lightning bolt designs made a very fine pattern, but i was put off by the irregular gold! :(

GAME : 33 AGD seemed very boring to begin with, but when playing the map i felt compelled to grab it all.
Slighty too easy in areas, but a good feeling throughout. this feels like a wine tasting review.

LOOK : 23 that lightning bolt can make for some very cool patterns but as it is
now i feel like it's not complex enough.

TOTAL : 90



Above All and Beyond by gloomp

THEME : 42 YES! YES!

GAME : 39 this is a pretty hardcore mine jumper and i don't think the world has enough of those.
It was not overly frustrating in certain sections (good thing you edited that mine)
also dat floorguard

LOOK : 16 i am not going to lie to you this map does not go for looks

TOTAL : 97



Golden Hours by Tommy_Wiseau

THEME : 43 diggin' the progressive tileset and counting gold arrangement yo, you hammered nailed it

GAME : 32 very nice floorguards. I've seen this with normal doors but the locked ones work a lot better.
My complaint is that it's not particularly lenghty or adventurous enough, you've got that
cool tileset sittin there very pretty, but unused. Perhaps the concept could be expanded?? :D

LOOK : 23 it builds up!!!

TOTAL : 98





Forever by Apulse

THEME : 37 interesting take on pattermnz!

GAME : 35 Getting up to high speed and dodfging boolets was fun. No mines is an elegant design.

LOOK : 26 This has a very striking thumbnail. i wub it!!

TOTAL : 98



Red Shift by 1211 / trance

THEME : 36 aw yeah gurl i love the way you make modififeed zig zags gurrrrrl

GAME : 35 loved the lasers!

LOOK : 25

TOTAL : 96



The Pelican Initiate by Seneschal

THEME : 39 it's a veritable buffet of tasty patterns yo

GAME : 32 basically the bleu drones hated me :( everything was dangerously weird, i liked it

LOOK : 27 attractively foreign.

TOTAL : 99




A Year Without Summer by the23

THEME : 34 you went more with textures, i appreciate that

GAME : 33 the chaingun was over the top, just the (many) rockets would have been enough, i feel

LOOK : 23 interesting gold + mines + doors to make stuff look rough

TOTAL : 90




impending by ska

THEME : 29 not enough of either of the themes!

GAME : 33 it felt cluttered and weird to me

LOOK : 19 it just doesnt grab me when i look at it :(

TOTAL : 81




45 Years Later by flagmyidol

THEME : 35 straightforward repeating circles! they get the job done.

GAME : 38 so, this was originally a 29 because the lasers are hard
as fuq but after repeated tries i got a system down to avoid them
and it was really satisfying. thus boosting your score (and my ego!)

LOOK : 20 again, straightforward, stripped-down, stuff i liek

TOTAL : 93



Quintessence of Dust by script

THEME : 40 oh yeah babe tesselate me all day

GAME : 35 This map is elegant, stylish, and intensely difficult
it's sooo satisfying when you pull off the jumps right.

LOOK : 27 Really great.

TOTAL : 102



kiaoraroaehaweggjhh by kiakraberoarawraraaa
kiaoergh by kiaora

THEME : 37 "Good ol' transcendental pseudosymmetrical simplicity" - Tommy Lee Jones, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, 1904

GAME : 36 Well i for one enjoy my large blanka reas and lasers shooting me maps so have an amount of points

LOOK : 22 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XJUGYU75Fk

TOTAL : Ninety-Five out of One-Hundred-And-Fifty



Billow Brick by Erik_Player

THEME : 31 I see all sorts of small patterns and things, but i feel like they are too subtle!

GAME : 41 this plays fantastically

LOOK : 23 not too flashy!

TOTAL : 95


Tessel Eight by Pheidippides

THEME : 40 okay you have delivered in spades

GAME : 37 plenty of room to hide from chainguns, a cool climb up to the exit switch, fun times

LOOK : 25 cool how the gold looks all rough :D

TOTAL : 102



at the beach by Sunset

THEME : 36 “If you saw two guys named Hambone and Flippy, which one
would you think liked dolphins most? I'd say Flippy, wouldn't you?
You'd be wrong though. It's Hambone.”

GAME : 36 Well, it was alright! i think it lasted for a little too long, but it was p chill and neato

LOOK : 24 straightforward.

TOTAL : 96



Hear The Echo by lsudny

THEME : 32 i do not feel like the theme was prominent here.

GAME : 34 i do not feel like the rocket works at all :(

LOOK : 23 not flashy, but functional!

TOTAL : 89
