raptor, i must say, you have done us wrong by hiding so much excellent outstanding talent! Congratulations!

Oh wow. This was really close. Reminds me of that one NASCAR race where Jimmy Johnson didn't lead a single lap exept the last lap. Congrats raptor.

Pff, my level was the best by far.

I would say Gamepad is the best level BlackBird has ever made.

Personally, I liked KDE Desktop Environment better than Celtic Arena, although that could just be because I know all raptor's little tricksies.

I actually like 'KDE Desktop Environment' better, too; it plays really well.

'Celtic Arena' was a proof-of-concept map, and I definitely put the most work into it, which is why I chose it to be my contest entry.

I will shortly release all the maps I made, but I'm thinking I might first change 'Trefoil Retrieve' a bit to actually be playable...

I am considering trying to fix 'Celtic Arena' gameplay issues, but I may just leave it as is because I built it with the intent of having that frantic sort of gameplay. Any suggestions?

Also, BlackBird and Little_Apple - marvelous maps!

Congratulations raptor! Your map was beautiful and you deserved the win.

One suggestion I might make would be to add some kind of small distraction. This could be an asteroid, neutral laserbeam, etc. Even the smallest of distractions will have people going for it.

Shoutout to all other level designers -- this was a tough theme but you guys did it! Congratulations to all!
