Good looking room, with some nice layering. Now you have the rest of the month to release a full hack. Go, go, go! :^_^:

release a full hack. Go, go, go! :^_^:

Took the words out of my mouth.

[Boomerang]

Another GBA room, will probably do a Super room next time B^)

One of the big Nature rooms. The background is a little repetitive, but it's not as noticeable in-game with the water layer over it.

Ooh, that sure does look nice. However I'm not sure how well the blue background fits against the majority yellow/orange. Maybe you could try a subtle red for those tiles.
Also, the brown tiles around waterfalls/light sources are quite imaginative. I actually had a similar idea but I wasn't sure how to pull it off.

I disagree, I think the blue is a needed break from the other colors in there. Kinda balances it out.

Your room looks really good jefe962. You're definitely gifted when it comes to aesthetics and level design.

I'm digging it. HOWEVER, some of the spikes are seemingly floating. Take a look on some of the corner tiles, where spikes are. Not a big issue, but it's a turn off.

Well not to worry Glitch, I got a great room for you bud.

This took me 20 hours to make (not counting bathroom breaks, which would have doubled this amount)

[Quietus]

I think it actually looks pretty good because of its simplicity. Sometimes, less is more.

Also, I can't unsee the orange blocks being a creeper (in booties?). *HSSSSssss....* :oh:

Voted for Benki here, man is that a nice room! I always like a Brinstar fusion, and the palettes in this one look beautiful. Also, placement of spikes doesn't look awful, so points for that.

Boomerang has a fine room too, but it is just a tad bit basic for me to like the most. Maybe some more background objects would have done the room justice. Looks fun to play, though.

DMan has an interesting idea for his room, and the trees all look really cool, but everything is just so thick and hard to comprehend. Too much noise if you ask me.

Jiffy's room is very clean, but once again it lacks primary features. the big emtpy space in the middle of the room could have used some kind of background rocks to fill in the void.

My room is terrible, but at least CaptGlitch is now forced to vote for it  :heheh:

[Quietus]

Benki for me too. It's a quality vanilla room, and the small patches of CRE don't seem to stand out like a sore thumb, which can often happen in rooms like this.

Also, DMan has some really cool trees. :^_^:

[Jet3rd]

My vote goes to Digital Mantra. I like the atmosphere in that room!

[Miranda Gemini]

EZ vote for DMantra. None of the other rooms have much going on. When you consider the scale of DMan's room I think the "too much going on" is pretty unjustified. That thing is fucking huge and to keep that level of detail running throughout is some crazy dedication. That room is like, a bank of space on its own. Impressive stuff.

[LiquidDreams]

I vote for DMantra. I'd say Benki's room is technically perfect, the execution is flawless. But at the same time it looks kind of familiar to me, for lack of a better word. Probably the tileset, I dunno. I'm big on novelty and strangeness, and DMantra's room has elements I don't immediately recognize which makes it more interesting to me.
