Winner of the 5th LBR Trophy Competition!

What a way to start off the year!

The twist added for this month’s contest is that those that implemented real water in the gameplay would receive bonus points. We noticed that the eager participants did not take this possible advantage lightly. Some of these levels were truly spectacular. We must admit, this is THE FIRST time that we (the judges) had such a difficult time proclaiming the winner. Do not get us wrong, we have had great levels in the past, but we never experienced judging like this. We carefully debated about all the scoring aspects back and forward for hours on end to finally determine the winner.

Now, without further delay, the winner of the LittleBIGReviewers’ January Level competition (‘A New Year for LBP’) is:

“LBL:LRRS and the Sneaky H4H3r!!” by Mnniska CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! You won the LBR Platinum Trophy

Overview:

From the quirky looking level icon to the well designed characters, this level is very charismatic and well polished. Every aspect is truly professional.  Especially the segments where the author simulates a story being read and the  part with the custom made level title with the crown placed on top. The firefly swaying on front of this sign was a nice touch of detail. Mnniska never seizes to amaze us with his colorful visuals and creative mechanics that compose his varied gameplay .  The Little Red Ridding Hood story is well adapted, developed and is nicely carried.  Little Red Ridding Sack (LRRS, as the title implies) is quite innocent and naive while the Big Bad H4H3r is astute and deceiving.  The way he expresses himself as he relishes the hearts he finds along the path is greatly executed.The emotions of each character are highly cherished due to the noticeable dedication that was placed into developing them. The selected voices suit them perfectly. Since you portray both characters, the author colors you with black paint to help you differ when you are playing each character accordingly. ‘Help’ signs are thoughtfully placed throughout the level to aid the more novice players in the puzzles. It is quite rare to come by such a piece of work. Water was nicely used at a portion of the level thus allowing the author to receive the appropriate points. We played this level on several occasions and are highly anticipating the sequel.
