Build a level that has players racing around a city environment!
Looking for ideas? Try building a level that takes place on rooftops, in a subway, a city park, through a busy street lined with skyscrapers or in a post-apocalyptic city ravaged by kaiju!
DEADLINE
Your track should be complete and submitted by Sunday, 7th May 2023 at 18:00 UTC+1
Submissions will be combined into a single workshop item after the deadline above
SUBMISSION RULES
You can only submit one level (you can modify or replace your submission as much as you like until the deadline)
Level collaborations are permitted (this counts as a level submission for each individual creator)
The name of the level MUST start with "ZSL - " (e.g "ZSL - My Level")
LEVEL RULES
Scaling track pieces is permitted
Level MUST follow any theme requirements set
Level MUST have fewer than 4000 blocks
Level MUST have an author time above 30 seconds
Level MUST have an author time under 1 minute 30 seconds
Level MUST have at least 2 checkpoints. Consider adding additional checkpoints for split timing or where it would prevent a cut, as cuts do not make for good tournament tracks!
Level MUST NOT have hidden finishes/shortcuts (e.g using no-collision or invisible blocks to hide a secret path that is NOT the intended route)
Don't have Discord? You can submit your entry by linking it in the Steam forum thread for this announcement!

Ctrl-Z update is here!!!
Hey everyone!!!
I know I said I was going to work on Zeepkist 2D and then sound, but I suddenly had a tingle of inspiration and decided to add Undo and Redo to the level editor instead!
Zeepkist v15!!
And that's it! You can now Undo and Redo in the level editor!
It saves your history while testing, so you can test, go back, and still undo and redo to your hearts delight!
There's also no hard undo limit, I suppose it's possible to reach C#'s max List length but no idea, if there is such a limit it should be pretty huge :)
Changelog!
New Stuff - Undo and Redo functions in the level editor - Two new character colors, unlocked by default - New players randomly get one of the default zeepkists assigned, instead of having the blue default zeepkist by default
Happy Zeepkisting!
That's all for now folks!!
The plan from the previous update still applies haha, do some more Zeepkist 2D stuff, sound update, then bump price :)
