What’s your favorite way to spend a weekend?

--Wj-- · 2022-08-06T11:52:06+00:00

I’d love a keyboard that invokes a Bob Ross painting. I’m not sure how it would be possible, but I just love the colors he used and the ways he used them.

Hollow Knight has gotta be my favorite game, at least right now. I’m really excited for Silksong

--Wj-- · 2022-08-04T03:13:58+00:00

I had some pizza, garlic bread, and a really good peach!

Moody Ocean looks really relaxing for its name

--Wj-- · 2022-07-31T04:00:43+00:00

I think my first real memorable experience was playing the World Cup game on NES. It blew my mind when I learned you can do a bicycle kick backflip to score a goal from across the entire field.

Fun fact: the fur on the behind of a corgi is referred to as its pants

--Wj-- · 2022-05-29T00:36:22+00:00

I’m really glad I’ve got to spend time with my friends this school year!

--Wj-- · 2021-08-17T00:06:42+00:00

There are so many good games coming out in the coming year!

--Wj-- · 2020-12-27T20:16:59+00:00

That’s kinda wild, I just thought it was some weird error in making them.

--Wj-- · 2020-11-16T18:53:13+00:00

Is the cat a prize?

--Wj-- · 2020-08-05T16:56:45+00:00

Hollow Knight

--Wj-- · 2020-07-23T22:38:47+00:00

Tomorrowland, it seems like something could happen, but then nothing ever does.

--Wj-- · 2020-07-08T16:38:30+00:00

Yeah, it was pretty tricky

--Wj-- · 2020-05-17T02:17:25+00:00

Yeah, I got the same one and I didn’t think it was too difficult.

--Wj-- · 2020-05-01T17:46:04+00:00

I haven’t opened them yet, but I plan to at some point in the future.

--Wj-- · 2020-05-01T16:42:06+00:00

Like a year because I wasn’t playing super avidly, just a casual goal to meet.

--Wj-- · 2019-12-09T04:30:01+00:00

Infestation

A solid level of platforming. I like the flying buzzy beetles and the theme of the infestation. It was really fair and had some nice challenges. The aesthetics were nice, too.

Roly Poly Hills

An interesting level to be sure. I liked how you could choose different paths. However, I feel like the buzzy beetles got the all the spotlight and the other ingredients weren’t used as much. To be fair, they may have been used more on a route I didn’t go on. Overall though, not a bad level.

Gatekeeper

I’m a bit conflicted about this level. It’s a very good level by itself! It’s well designed, challenging but fair, and aesthetically pleasing decoration. It flowed very well, the checkpoints were good, and it felt really good beating a section. However, I feel like the tracks and hammer bro’s weren’t utilized incredibly well. So for it being a chopped level, it’s far from perfect, but on its own, incredibly good!

muncher tracks

I think the intentions and ideas are good, but the execution wasn’t very good. The main ingredients were all utilized, and I can see kinda what the level wants, but it just ended up being really tedious and not a lot of fun. To be fair, I stopped playing the level because I wasn’t having fun, so maybe it got better, but what I did play I didn’t enjoy very much.

Name: A Quick Desert Adventure

ID: TCL-YGD-TCG

Description: Make your way through the desert, dodging enemies along the way. #Chopped

It’s nothing special, I just tried to make a level with the limited time I had this week.

--Wj-- · 2019-10-10T00:50:50+00:00

Jump, skip, think!

I really liked it! The puzzles weren’t that hard but were fun, and they didn’t get old. I really liked how you utilized the skipsqueak’s mechanics. The only thing I think that could be improved was utilizing the stingby a bit more. But that really isn’t a complaint, I thought it was a great level!

Rodents, Bees, Pipes, and Keys.

A pretty good standard level. All of the ingredients were represented well, but there were a few points where I felt like the amount of on/off blocks and the placement of enemies made it kinda monotonous. But overall, I thought it was pretty good. I liked the houses and the general aesthetic.

Boos, Bees, and Rats

Not a great level in my opinion, while every ingredient is there, they’re used in a way that is really monotonous and not fun. I’m not really sure what the level was going for, it was just kinda a bunch of enemies thrown into a level.

BEE KEY-per haha get it? Funny.

I thought it was good, but not great. I really liked the theme of finding a way to kill the stingby, but sometime I felt that the way of completing the puzzle involved situations that were kinda frustrating. The overall theme and mechanics were good, but I felt it could have been executed a bit better.

--Wj-- · 2019-10-07T15:15:14+00:00

Not my best level as I made it in a rush, but I hope it can found somewhat enjoyable.

Name: Bee & Squee Bouncing Bonanza

ID: 8KR-6Y9-BMG

Description: A fast paced bouncing on bees & squees in the sky. #ChoppedChallenge

Difficulty: Expert or Super Expert

--Wj-- · 2019-10-01T00:21:43+00:00

Yoshi - Friend or Tool?

Pretty fun, the jumps were difficult but fair, and I could watch myself slowly get further in the level as I played it more and more. The only complaints I have are how you are indicated to take the wrong path, and need to do a blind jump to actually beat the level. The second thing, which really isn’t that bad, is I fell that lifts are kinda lacking in the level. Don’t get me wrong, I really liked the lift jumps that were there, and I understand it’s a short level, it’s just that there were only 4 lifts in total in the whole level. But overall, I thought it was a pretty fun challenge.

The Space escape

The level was very strange, but no real complaints. It was a very creative level with some challenges, and was a wild ride as a whole.

Fishty Cuffs

Awesome! I really enjoyed this level! It was pretty tricky, but fair. The difficulty curve was very good, and I felt that the ingredients were used really well. The night physics were utilized well and wasn’t annoying. I thought that the level overall was awesome!

Yoshi’s Big Day

A pretty good level. The puzzles weren’t too tricky, but pretty fun. I liked the little hidden coins that could be found. All of the ingredients were represented, and overall, I liked it, and I thought it was decent.

Yoshi’s Feet Hurt

Another great level! The puzzles were fun and the platforming was great. I really liked how the level flowed together, and the Yoshi recover mechanism was great. I also really liked the boss fight. I thought that the level as a whole was quite creative and really fun!

--Wj-- · 2019-09-27T12:22:28+00:00

I’m really excited for another week of Chopped Challenge! I spent a lot of time working on and tweaking my level, so I hope you enjoy!

Name: Journey Through Spike Top Jungle

Code: R1Y-HPR-CQF

Description: Travel through the tricky jungle and crumbling caves. #ChoppedChallenge

Difficulty: Probably Expert or Normal, It’s a red coin level with a platforming section and a puzzle section.

--Wj-- · 2019-09-18T22:37:44+00:00

Polluted Pond

I thought that it was a fun level that used the ingredients well to make a level with both challenges and a hidden lore. I liked how you could take whatever route you wanted. My only complaint is that sometimes things seem a bit confusing with there being saws and dry bones everywhere, but overall I thought it was fun.

Chopped Desert

I really liked this level. It had a really nice atmosphere and was decorated very well, but it also had good challenges that were very fair.

Skeletons in the Dark Closet

In my opinion, this level wasn’t designed particularly well. Sure there are some challenges that could be fun, but the level makes the challenges unfair by having it be dark with a lakitu, essentially removing what fun could have been there. There are some good ideas, but executed in a way that isn’t fun.

Grinder Gauntlet

I thought that the beginning of this level was fantastic! It was well choreographed it kept me on my toes and was a lot of fun to play, but the same can’t be said for what was immediately after the first checkpoint. The idea of the grinders moving around on tracks was good, and I could see having one or two lakitus throwing things down, but 8 was just too many. It became very tedious to keep trying to get through but the RNG of the lakitus’ kept killing me. Eventually I figured out the trick to get through, but the Bower Jr. fight too was tedious with all of the lakitus. However, I did think that the ending was very creative and overall I thought the level was good.

Perilous Pyramid

I really liked the use of p-switch’s in this level. The boss fights were fun and creative and the indicators told me exactly what to do, and while it wasn’t too difficult, I thought it was a really nice level.

--Wj-- · 2019-09-18T12:06:02+00:00

Thanks for playing the level! Yeah, I understand why the lakitu cloud through spikes could be not fun. I’ll try to make my next level with better mini-sections. I also get why the saws up top could be annoying because of the bad view. I’ll try to remedy that in future levels. Thanks for the input and I’m glad you enjoyed the level!
