"First, these are not rules, that would be too restrictive."

I say go for it! This seems to be a good month to submit several levels too, so why not make a few with ghastly mechanisms outside the box you're confided to yourself?

This is important to remember too. If your level requires you to use something outside the 9x9 area we're not going to hold it against you as long as you don't totally abuse it*. This is even more true if the level is good - we're going to have a better opinion of a level that doesn't follow all the rules but is an absolutely outstanding level as opposed to a level that fits the "rules" to a T but really isn't all that good.

*Such as by having chip run circles around the outside of the level before he enters the 9x9 area - I think we can all agree that would be against the spirit of a 9x9 level concept.
