• Submit the levels to me, calica#0464 on Discord or through PM here, by 11:59 PM Pacific Time on February 28, 2021.  Extensions will be granted for a week if someone tells me you're working on something.
  
• You may submit up to 3 levels to the competition; if you submit more, only the most recent 3, or whichever 3 you tell me to judge, will be judged.
  
• Levels should be solvable and replays are strongly recommended.  If I can't solve the level in my stream and it doesn't have a replay, I won't be inclined to give it a good placement.
  
• You can have a map bigger than 10x100, within reason (let's say, don't go past 20 or so?), if logic/mechanisms require it, though as Ida says it'll be a bit disappointing to have the viewport shift that way (though in Lexy's Labyrinth you can set bounding boxes).  You can't extend the 100 though, because that won't be playable on CC2, though it actually will be playable in LL.
  
• If you have a 10x100 map where part of it is inaccessible to the player due to containing logic, again within reason (maybe no more than 1/3 of the map?); though if it's possible, I suggest making it possible to see such a mechanism after completion, a la Difficulty Switch or Strict Process.
  
• I'll probably stream the levels on Discord in early March and judge afterwards.
  
• If you have any additional questions, don't hesitate to ask either directly or in this thread.

Or, alternatively, can the map be totally 10x100 but part of it is inaccessible to the player due to only containing logic and related mechanisms...
You could disallow both of the above or allow both but let it affect your grading of the level or whatever :)

Edit: Actually, I’m taking the question back because I want to stick to the 10x100, both because of the challenge and because if you have a wider map the viewport will not be the same which is kinda uncool.

Jeffrey Bardon - Serpents' Tower

A solid set of Snake puzzles.  I really enjoyed solving them, well, at least the ones I actually solved.  The other two I'm sure I'll enjoy solving on puzz.link or penpa if/when that happens   I also liked the theming, and the dramatic serpent-themed hints.

Ida - 8 Bit Puzzle
Also submitted: Ice Climber CC Style, Fido

Congratulations, Ida! Several people submitted variety levels arranged next to each other, but I think this is the one I actually enjoyed the most.  I was about to say "I especially liked the" followed by the puzzles I like, but then I realized that might just be "all of them but the rovers ".  I also like the letter system meaning that you didn't have to do the whole thing in a loop when you start over, which is really nice during a stream or in casual play. (Though I might make the bonuses under the ice blocks 1Ks to make them more worthwhile for optimizers)

Ice Climber CC Style was a nice homage to a game I've never played, though I did look up the bonus level after the stream.  It was a nice race against time with a difficulty slider.  Fido was also a decent variety level, though the first few sections were way more frustrating and it sucked getting Fido mixed up with the other two.  Sad ending
