Thanks to those who updating your links.  Hope I wasn't too winy.  :/

I voted. Apologies to anyone trying to play my level when it's at a far higher difficulty than they can manage. I was planning on having a playthrough recorded before now but I don't have the time. Oh well, go into the editor or cheat if you must or do what you can.
SG's difficult KS levels:
Very Hard: Dark Sea, Industral Trap.
Lunatic: Dark Sea 2, Going Left.
Very Lunatic: Safety 1, 2, and 3.
Misc: AdvancedAmidst the Clouds, Candy Town.

Sorry about that, Headgrinder. I need to choose a better file host in case the KS archive fails me again.

How many votes have you gotten so far?

There have been eight votes so far, although three are awaiting adjustments before they will be counted.

Whaaat, that's it? I was thinking this'd be more of a big deal.

I have 2 kids and am working overtime... so I'm trying to get through them but it will probably still take me a few weeks.  :/

I have education and a large writing project. I've barely started on these. :(

Alright.  I have casted my votes.
Things to remember when writing figures of speech and sound:
The power of poetry comes from the ability to defy logic. Defy logic often.

Use a metaphor and tell us that your lover is the sky. Tell us that your lover is the sky. When you do that, we won't believe you. We won't believe you because saying so makes no sense, but we'll see a meaning. We'll see a meaning.

The other thing is the ability to be remembered. Love anything.

Love anything

Just finished Dark Sea 2 and the story mode of Tree of Life. Dark Sea 2 was definitely LUNATIC and I had to add a few save points here and there to keep myself sane... especially the end sequence. I'll be casting my votes shortly.

Am I the only person who played DS2 normally? :huh:

I do have to admit that there were times when it did make me want to learn how to cheat in KS.

Yeah, I haven't finished it yet, but it is one of those levels where I either cheat or I just don't play it.  I do NOT have anywhere NEAR the requisite skills.

I tried to do DS2 normally. I was over half-way when I finally gave in and whipped out the cheats. The problem is that once you activate them, it's impossible to stop yourself using them. :(

Once I die 20 times in a row, I turn them on.  :D  After that it is more like 10 times in a row... until I just want to move on.  But I actually have been getting better.

Oh, sorry.  Off topic.  :oops:

So I was watching willxinc's LP of The Tower of Lightning and I realised that all of the levels for this competition should be considered at least "Hard" and found that kind of funny.

Anyway, I'm curious. Are you going to cast a vote, sergio? Or are you just playing overseer?

I honestly can't think of a non-environmental level other than the original Nifflas' stories that would qualify as "Normal" by his standards, given how ridiculously easy they were.

What, Talps, _you_ need to cheat? I thought you could beat UPPER LEVELS without dying!!
