Okay so I don't have the results quite ready yet, however, I did do a little review for all the levels. Based on these reviews, you can kind of get a feel on who is the winner but nothing's final yet!
1. Day 0: To The Bunker
Designer - rockdet
First off, kudos to the title. It really suits the level and it's idea a lot, which I personally love. Now for the level, you must know me really well, because I absolutely love fire mazes.
I really loved the aestheics of this one. The level was beautifully crafted, despite that it's a maze. I also loved how certain chips couldn't be collected right away for the fireballs paths. It reminded me of Cloner's Maze (which I know is your favorite CC level of all time). The teleport mechanism at the end was a lot of fun too! I never thought of that idea before, but it's so simple. I honestly really wish it were for CCLP1, because I'd definitely vote this one in.
2. Drain the Ocean
Designer - geodave
This one was very enjoyable. When I first looked at it in the editor, I thought it was gonna be one of those "carry blocks across the level" levels, but I was wrong there! I was very tempted to get those 9 chips near the bottom of the level at first but good thing I didn't. It reminded me a lot about After the Rainstorm in CCLP2, but better and without the ram. The idea with the underwater magma vent was cool as well.
3. Just Stuff Goes Everywhere
Designer - M11K4
This level was pretty good. I liked the idea of the tornado, which is what I was told is based off of. I also liked how only certain dirt can be traveled through without cooking the level. I was very disappointed it was not made compatible in Lynx mode though.
4. Avalanche Mayhem
Designer - Michael (partially)
This level unfortunately doesn't really get much to say about it as I literally made a little over half this level, so only partial credit goes to you. There isn't anything in this level either that resembles an avalanche (I made the title up by the way). Only a few changes were made in this version. Creativity for this competition wasn't so good on this one sadly.
5. Hurricane Melinda
Designer - jblewis
I loved this level! Everything about this level was put together so well and every part of it has a meaning to the disaster itself. I love the design of the docks and the "maze" to the flippers. It's kind of like a destroyed version of Floating Plaza in CCLP3 to be honest (which ironically you made as well). The movie theater at the end was absolutely perfect for this level too. I liked all the puzzles included too. The only thing I didn't really like was the fireball at the end, but then again it was pretty easy at the same time.
6. The Big Crunch
Designer - random 8
I haven't actually solved this one yet, but I think I played enough of it to get a somewhat decent review of it (I got to 6 chips remaining) First off, I love the difficulty of it. Definitely is the hardest one I got in the competition. I like the idea of this disaster too, I never expected something like this. This one is definitely hands-down creative. I would probably make the hint a little more clearer on what exactly to do first though.
7. Remains
Designer - IceyLava108
This level was the last I received of the competition, getting it right when it ended! It was a lot of fun to play; I really loved it a lot. The design of it is so unique and different from most the others I recieved. One thing that really got me loving this one was actually going outside of the main section into the bomb ring. I did not see that coming at all and I remembered how CC1 didn't do that a lot, or at all for that matter. I laughed at the idea of the level's creation too, with Melinda burning your house down. It was an enjoyable level.
I'll post the actual results tomorrow.
