Map making competition #1

[deta]

Hello!

I'd like to start a small map making competition.

Rules:

• You can use any tools you want! Use whatever editors you're most comfortable with!
• You only have to create one map.
• You have 3 days to complete/make the map.
• So your map has to end with a boss/climax. It doesn't just have to be a big enemy, though. It can, but you can also be creative! The player has to overcome a big obstacle at the end of the level.
• Custom content is allowed! You can create custom content before the competition starts.
• You also can use any other content you want.
• You can't start working on the map before the competition starts.
• Playtesting is allowed.
• Your map has to be of the following theme: Underground

When?:
I'd suggest next weekend. From Friday the 5th to Sunday the 7th. (5th to 7th October, 2018)
You can start working on the map at 12:00 AM on the 5th and have to be done and post your result into this thread on the 7th, at 8 PM your time.
If you're finished earlier you can post it before.

Judging:
I would like to community to judge the finished maps! At the end of the competition I will create a poll, with all entries, and everyone can vote for the entry they like the most.

What do you guys think?
If you want to participate, just post a confirmation in this thread. You can still join, even if you can't come up with something at the end.
If you just have something unfinished at the end, please post it anyway, because it could contain something interesting!

Winner:
Mipha

Map Pack:
You can download all the maps of this competition, compiled in one zip file right here:

Rules:

• Your map can only contain 7 different sprites, although 1 has to be the player sprite and 1 has to be a boss sprite.
• You can't start working on the map before the competition starts.

First, too bad i can't work on the map before, i was making a nice challenge map that could go on the competition .
Second, may i ask why the limit is only 7 different sprites? That is way too low.

And i want to participate, althought i am not sure i will have time in 5, 6 and 7 august.

After some discussion I have removed the sprite limit. The only limit is now time. You have 3 days to complete a map. You are still allowed to use custom content and stuff.

The challenge is in october, not augst.

Sure, count me in

I think the rules should be published exactly the same time as the competition starts because then people cant cheat.

For example a map type, genre or something like that.

That's a very good point!

This is my first competition, so it's a learning experience, too.
I already announced the rules. However, I'm going to add one more rule! This rule will be announced on october, the 4th at 8 PM CEST.

The theme for this very first competition is: Underground

The challenge starts as soon as it's 12:00 AM/0:00 your time. As soon as it is Friday you can start working on it. The deadline for submission is on Sunday the 7th, at 8:00 PM your time.

Sorry for the comparatively huge file size, decided to include the whole sprites folder just to be sure nothing's missing
