Wow, it has been a long time. Why are the previous LotW winners not listed (I mean, before LotW was restarted)? Perhaps many of those people are not here anymore, but I think it is good to remember them.
Does Jiggmin have any whereabouts of LotW anymore, or is he just on another giant rampage of neglect?
What is PR2 like nowadays? Can I still create a level or will all the new level features make me balk?

Good to know this competition is still going!

"Why are the previous LotW winners not listed"

- I lost the list back when the original JV website went down. If there is a list somewhere I'd love to highlight those levels in the OP and possibly make a separate thread highlighting those levels. PM me if you find a list!!


"Does Jiggmin have any whereabouts of LotW anymore, or is he just on another giant rampage of neglect?"

- Not sure what you mean by this. Are you talking about whether he's aware that LotW has started up again, or that his involvement in LotW is nowhere to be seen? If what you meant is the latter, he has never been directly involved with LotW at any point in terms of running it, and has only helped provide the prizes in the past. I was the original LotW contest host.


"What is PR2 like nowadays?"

- It's still quite fun, just not nearly as active as it used to be. Sort of to be expected though with Adobe Flash Player no longer around and the game being over 12 years old. There's a lot more of a trap level presence within the community than there used to be, and a lot less of a racing presence. That's not a bad thing though! If you're interested in reaching out to people to try and get a race going, you could always join the Jiggmin's Village Discord server: https://discord.gg/ZJDPKy9V96


"Can I still create a new level or will all the new level features make me balk?"

- I'd imagine you'd be able to create a new level without much issue nowadays. There's not a huge difference between the level creation tools now and how they used to be. There's just a lot of convenient changes, and very positive additions. Nothing too crazy. I guess the biggest change would be the implementation of Art 0 and Art 00 if you weren't around from back when they were implemented. Otherwise the other biggest and most recent addition would probably be Teleport Blocks. Those might take some time to get used to implementing in your levels. In terms of this competition, it's fine if you don't use the newer features. If you end up making a new level, I'd definitely recommend submitting it here!

Looks like Dexterity made this list. It is great.

It has level of the week, campaign of the month, speedrunner of the week, racing levels and more. I've been slowly playing all of them.

This level uses teleport blocks to help maneuver around the inside of a horse through its map artwork. The level, although simplistic at times, gives a decent challenge for those who enjoy speedrunning through racing levels.

Rhombus (Hard) by krekle

This level combines smaller frustration-like gameplay elements with gameplay that utilizes various super jump glitches and jet pack sections to create a very enjoyable and challenging experience.
