Judge comments
Sturg
A short but sweet bit of level. You could've doubled the length of the level with another set of colored block pathways to traverse, but no big deal. It doesn't do anything ambitious, but you took the terms and ran something simple with it. :)
Zatsupachi
This. Was Pretty Short. Basically 4 mini-challenges at the star. There's nothing stopping anyone from just tanking a hit and use invincibility frames on the way out of the challenges-- which kinda diminishes the difficulty, though I am thankful for that since you have to do these all again if you fail just once.
Rameau's Nephew
Er, the Pokeys don't actually block anything, so you can just run right through them, completing the level in seconds. Assuming we decide to humor them and pretend they're simply impassible objects, though...Well, the level's not really a maze, per se, so much as a 4-way branching corridor, each branch requiring you to complete a rather simple obstacle, hit a switch, and then complete a more cramped version of the same obstacle in reverse. It's not the worst, but there's not much to it, and even the legit version of the level's over pretty quickly. The trick for bypassing the filters at the start is an amusing touch, though.
+ Intro screen is amusing in multiple ways
- Level's a bit short and insubstantial.
Other: Every good treehouse is made of 80% blue dirt.
