Results time! The extended deadline provided us with one extra participant as well as allowing me time to make a level to share with you guys as well.
The winner is Ihavenoname248 with his entry Various Hues of Blue
. Though it happened to be the last level of the submissions I played, it displayed both some new ideas with ice blocks as well as sound design. In fact, you submitted three very interesting levels and it was not a question of if you were going to win this competition, but of choosing my favorite out of your submissions. I really liked Stuck in a Frozen Well
as well. It has a simple and pleasantly clever block structure (with normal blocks it feels very similar to some level I have seen). I probably would have liked Frozen Fortress
the most had it not been quite so difficult and forced me to play the same order of rooms just a few many times too many. (Basically, it's complex nature would still have warranted a little bit more work to make some parts easier to understand, not necessarily the overall puzzles.) I hope to play more of your levels in the future. Great work!
Second place goes to Chipster1059 with Fake Time Limit
. The level displays some really nice puzzles with ice blocks, but the concepts are pretty difficult to get just right. At least the hardest one is at the start, and is very new to me. The part that got the most minuses from me was the following one, where you nicely reuse a block structure from CC1, but unfortunately it feels a bit long. (I would have liked to have seen a way where I could push several of the blocks at once, and not need maneuver eight ice blocks separately.) Nice job!
Third place goes to Michael for throwing together 1 Tank, 5 Ice Blocks
. I enjoy small levels that showcase something neat (like a tank pushing ice blocks), so it earns its place in the set. You also probably deserve the prize for most Chip Cup points for least effort this month (though it was close with Syzygy).
Honorary fourth place goes to myself for just being awesome as well as making the level Nothing You Can Do
. It's the last level of the set, so it might not even be solvable, but judge for yourself in the screenshot of the download.
I was sure there was a fifth person who was making a level, but I guess they just love their level too much to share it with the rest of us.

You guys already have the Tool Box award, but Ihavenoname248 gets the You're Winner! award! I'll also update the Chip Cup thread with your points. Thanks to you guys for some fun levels!
