Zeepkist

Level Contest - Gravity

THEME: Gravity



  • Build a level that has players racing under the power of gravity only

  • Level MUST NOT have any boosters, fans or slowsters (or other forms of propulsion - e.g hammer or windmill blade boosts)

  • Looking for ideas? How about a steep downhill course or recreating a real life soapbox racing course!

DEADLINE



  • Your track should be complete and submitted by Saturday, 3rd June 2023 at 18:00 UTC+1

  • Submissions will be combined into a single workshop item after the deadline above

SUBMISSION RULES



  1. You can only submit one level (you can modify or replace your submission as much as you like until the deadline)
  2. Level collaborations are permitted (this counts as a level submission for each individual creator)
  3. The name of the level MUST start with "ZSL - " (e.g "ZSL - My Level")

LEVEL RULES



  1. Level MUST NOT have any boosters, fans or slowsters (or other forms of propulsion - e.g hammer or windmill blade boosts)
  2. Scaling track pieces is permitted
  3. Level MUST have an author time under 1 minute 30 seconds (between 30sec to 1min preferred)
  4. Level MUST have at least 1 checkpoint. Consider adding additional checkpoints for split timing or where it would prevent a cut, as cuts do not make for good tournament tracks!
  5. Level MUST meet any additional requirements set in the level contest's theme
  6. Level MUST NOT have hidden finishes or hidden shortcuts (e.g using no-collision or invisible blocks to hide a secret path that is NOT the intended route)

HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR LEVEL



  1. Join our Official Discord server
  2. Upload the level to the Steam Workshop
  3. Link the workshop item in the theme's thread in #level-submissions

    Don't have Discord? You can submit your entry by linking it in the Steam forum thread for this announcement!
