Miika - Apple Limbo

            A very fun Gravity Well style level that was a very nice break from hard puzzles. Although last in the competition this is by no means a bad level, it was quite enjoyable, however in terms of the competition it did use the least original frame components out of all the submissions.

Chipster - Super Button Bowl

            A nice tricky puzzle that made great use of the original level components, quite fun to try and figure out, although the struggles with the last bowling ball and the ice-railroad section do bring it down a bit.

ʐ̈ee - Target Triple

            Ultimately we do have to be fair and judge the levels for just this competition, which is a shame because this is an excellent display of level creation made for 3 constraints at once. An excellent puzzle, although the hard mode version is quite tricky (not a bad thing we're just not good at puzzles).

Chipster - Now Look At This Key

            Oh this is a good resource management and routing puzzle, trying to figure out the best path to take for each key and lock makes this a nice challenge, especially with the bottom section having a few traps that could kill a run with bad planning. Although we do wonder what the ice-railroad sections are for as they're not needed to complete the level. Great use of original frame components.

Jeremy - Darkened Sanctum

            Who put puzzles in our puzzle game. Excellent level, each area adds a new layer to the puzzle that has to be detangled, and they all combine into a wonderful small area puzzle that is a joy to solve (even if we didn't). Excellent use of the original frame.

ʐ̈ee - Ethereal Chip Secret

            Touhou Project in CC2, an excellent use of wires, the original frame, and of course the competition theme. While it is notably difficult, its not so much that it discourages play, since the patterns can be memorized and worked against fairly easily and then executed. Good work.
