Once all 10 winners are decided or 90 minutes pass, the event ends.
Once a player wins, they no longer earn points and do not place on round leaderboards
💡 Note: If the 90-minute time limit is reached before all 10 winners are decided, the event will end early—even if fewer than 10 players have won.

Zeepkist Merch Store Now Live!!
Hello everyone!!
So people have been requesting one of these for ages, and it's always been something that I've been really interested in doing... so I figured it was finally time to set up a little merch store for Zeepkist and Zeepkist related things! :D
I took special care to take extra-high definition screenshots for all images that went on the products, so everything should be as crisp as the printing (or embroidering) allows!
Here's some screenshots of the store!!
I think my personal favorites have to the be the Burpi or Nebulade can-shaped glasses. I can't wait to get some of those for myself!
I'll likely be updating this store with more merch in the future :)

Level Contest - Narrow
Season 6: Theme 1
THEME: Beginner
Build a level with a maximum width of 3 blocks!! (3 1x1 blocks wide)
Looking for ideas? How about creating a side-scroller inspired level; playing with verticality; or a twisting course down a gentle slope.
SEASON 6 CHANGES
We've made a few tweaks to the level contests for Season 6:
Adjusted the baseline maximum author time to 60 seconds (reduced from 75 seconds)
Adjusted the required checkpoints to 3 checkpoints (increased from 2 checkpoints)

Level author name MUST contain the submitters' Steam (or Discord) username
The name of the level MUST start with "ZSL - " (e.g "ZSL - My Level")
THEME RULES
Level MUST no wider than 3 blocks (3 unscaled 1x1 blocks wide). The level does not need to be a straight line, but must maintain the maximum width throughout, for example your track can change directions on a 45deg/90deg angle (or any other angle/curve)
Level MUST have all decoration placed within the 3 block wide restriction
LEVEL RULES
Scaling track pieces is permitted (but the maximum width is 3 unscaled 1x1 blocks)

Level MUST be under 4000 blocks

Level MUST have at least 3 checkpoints. Consider adding additional checkpoints for split timing or where it would prevent a cut, as cuts do not make for good tournament tracks!

- Various fixes to leaderboard rendering - Various fixes to bad world filter not getting applied
Zeepkist Beautiful Beta - Version 16, Patch 71

- Updated Rewired, more controllers should now be supported - Updated the LOD system, which should give better performance - Fixed two glider skips - Fixed anti-aliasing being broken - Changed the text on a sign which explains what arms up does
Zeepkist Beautiful Beta - Version 16, Patch 70
Patch 70:
- awarded event cosmetics - added 12 new primitive blocks: Beams and connectors with conveniently placed pivots - added parking block as gatetype to blocks 2285 and 2286
Level Contest - Beginner
THEME: Beginner
Build a beginner-friendly level! Create a level that is easy complete - perfect for new Zeepkisters to enjoy!!
There should be no difficult speedchecks or mechanics that require advanced skills.
Avoid difficult speed checks on your level by adding insurance boosters to ensure players will be at the minimum speed needed for a track section.
This theme has a reduced maximum author time of 50 seconds.
Looking for ideas? How about creating what you think would be EZ-07 in the Adventure Mode; a level with twisting elevation changes like EZ-06; or create a track that teaches a mechanic to players (e.g wall riding, "Arms Up" or a change block gate etc)
