Level of the Week! (PR2)

[Dangevin]

Hello! This is the official Level of the Week contest thread for Platform Racing 2!

Level of the Week finally returns after a multi-year-long hiatus! If you're not familiar with how Level of the Week works, I'll get you updated. Basically every week you guys can suggest your own levels (or someone else's levels) in this thread. If you or your friend's level are made very well and it's fun to play, that level you suggested may win Level of the Week! Want to know how to submit a level? Keep on reading...

Important Announcement

An update on communication, delays, and a timeline change for winners (VERY IMPORTANT): https://jiggmin2.com/forums/showthread.p...7#pid88667



How It Works

Simply leave a reply down below listing off a few things. What we'll need to know are...

• The creator of your submission's PR2 username:
  
• Your PR2 username:
  
• What the level name is:
  
• What the level ID is (this one is optional):
  
• When the level was last updated:
  
• What type of level it is:
  
• A description of the level (this one is optional):
  

The rules for this contest can be found down below in the Rules section of this post. Make sure to read them! After 6 PM CT rolls around on Fridays of each week, submissions for that week are closed, and a new submission period starts for the next week.

Any level can be given the title of Level of the Week. However, newer levels are a priority this time around. We'd really like to see you get creative with the new tools added to your arsenal like teleportation blocks, custom stat blocks, or the change made to the moon hat (low gravity baby)!


What we will be doing is every weekend on Sundays, the Judges and I will be playing throughout all the submitted levels made by the users of JV. Once we come to an agreement on what level should win, I will make a post announcing the Level of the Week on the same day. If you see us on during the time we play each level, feel free to join in on the racing!

As for those who are interested in playing each Level of the Week, the winning level that is picked for the week will be where the artifact hat is placed on Thursday's (at varying times so it's fair to everyone living in different time zones). Be quick to play the level and find the artifact first on the given time each week, or miss out on potential big rewards like bonus XP or the elusive Bubble Set!

One very big change that will happen from time to time is the inclusion of something called Theme Weeks. The submission theme for certain weeks will change so that there is more variety from time to time (not all the time though). Examples of Theme Weeks range from Deathmatch Level Themed, Artistic Expression Themed, Holiday Themed, or even Artifact Challenge Themed for weeks where a selection is based around if it would be a good, challenging Artifact to obtain. Some weeks there may be a change to who gets to pick the Level of the Week. Examples of these would be a Staff's Choice Week, Community Ambassador's Choice Week, or a Community Choice Week. Be sure to look at this post for updates on when these themes take place as it won't be a common occurrence.



Rewards

Who would want to compete in a competition without rewards!? (Maybe you just like competition? Hmmm?) Anyway, there are quite a few rewards for those that end up having their level(s) win, and even a reward to those who help submit the winning submission!


IMPORTANT NOTE: The account that created the winning submission will be sent a Private Message (PM) on Platform Racing 2 asking what prize they would like, and on what account they would like it on. If the owner of the account does not respond within 3 days I will be putting the appropriate prize for the amount of times they have won on the account that won. The account listed under "Your PR2 Username" in your submission post will obtain the prize for submitting a winning submission. Additionally, these rewards apply to submissions that win the current version of the contest and not the previous version from years ago.

• If you win Level of the Week, you will be rewarded with the elusive Dog Set! This is the only way you'll be able to obtain this set, so keep trying even if you don't win the week you submitted your level! 
  (Note: You can give this reward to a different account if you'd like!)
  
  

        What the Dog Set looks like:

        

• If you win Level of the Week two(!!) times, you will be rewarded with 1,000,000 EXP! That might help you level up a bit I'd imagine.
  (Note: You can give this reward to a different account, or you can exchange this for a Dog Set on a different account if you'd like!)
  
  
• If you manage to win Level of the Week three or more(!!!) times, you will be rewarded with 5,000,000 EXP with each additional victory and a place on this post's Hall of Fame section! If you manage to do earn this reward, all I gotta say is... you make some pretty good levels. 
  (Note: You can give this reward to a different account, or you can exchange this for a Dog Set on a different account if you'd like!)
  

• If you somehow manage to win Level of the Week five(!!!!!) times, you will be rewarded with a permanent Artifact Hat! This reward cannot be claimed more than once per account, so once you have reached five wins, you will not be getting anymore Artifact Hats based on a single account's win count.
  
  What the Permanent Artifact Hat looks like:
  
  
  
  
• If you help submit a winning level (so not your own level, but someone else's), you will be rewarded with the Bubble Set! Thanks for showing off a great level, we appreciate it! 
  (Note: The account listed under "Your PR2 Username" in your submission post will be awarded this prize!)

Past Winners

As you may know, Level of the Week used to exist years ago. However, it was deleted once the original Jiggmin's Village disappeared. Luckily though, @Dexterity managed to make a list of the past winners of Level of the Week.

Rules

• You must submit your or someone else's level using the format listed in the How It Works section of this post
  
  

• Levels that are created more recently have a more likely chance of winning since we want to highlight levels that utilize newer features. However, levels made prior to this contest starting up again can win too.
  
  

• You cannot submit trap, frustration, unfinished, or troll/empty submission levels unless specified in a submission theme for a given week (example of troll levels: Just drawing an egg plant in a level containing no blocks and no way of finishing).
  
  
• You must submit your level before Friday at 6 PM CT.
  
  
• You can submit up to 1 level per week.
  
  
• The levels must be submitted on JV via this thread OR the Level of the Week thread on the Jiggmin's Village Discord. That way I can sort out which levels the judges play in an easier fashion.
  
  
• Submission changes must be made up by Friday at 3 PM CT. If you'd like to change your submission, please make a post stating what the level you made before was and then what your new submission is now while still following the submission format. Making changes to your submissions after this time will move your submission from that current week's list to next week's list.
  
  
• The submission has to be an original and finished submission. Copied levels will not be accepted and will eventually lead to a banning from the contest and your prizes revoked if given any.
  
  
• If you win this iteration of Level of the Week, you must wait a week before you can win again. (You can still submit a different level from a different creator during this time period however.) The same level cannot win twice.
  
  
• The account you submit must have been online in the last year in order to be eligible to win.

JV staff. You've done it again! Ignore traps and trappers at all costs and categorize us with "troll/empty levels".

We wouldn't have TRAPS included in level of the week, would we?! Levels that actually takes a lot of skill, time, thinking and creativiy to make in this game. 

Sorry, but this is closeminded :/ we really gotta submit a theme week for a chance

Have fun making art levels tho ^^ <3

"Levels that actually takes a lot of skill, time, thinking and creativiy to make in this game."

1. this is so cringe
2. you might wanna type your rant properly if you want to be taken seriously
3. being able to draw something cohesive and atmospheric plus having a fun, interactive level are def things that need skill, some thinking and creativity, don't you think?

You crack me up. I was thinking about submitting Quiz time 3, but how could it hold a candle to perfection like QuizTime II does?
Anyhow, I guess I'm entering into competition with myself either way. I'll submit-

• Your PR2 username: Overbeing

• What type of level it is: [b]Puzzle/Skill[/b]
  
  
• A description of the level: Difficult, but I wouldn't categorize it as a full Frust level. It makes use of some of the updates that PR2 has had more recently like Custom Item blocks and Custom Stat blocks. It tests your skills and knowledge as a player.
