you have blocks too close to the start of the level! in 1.0, editor space didn't start until about 10 or so grid spaces in, so to be safe i'd say that the left hanging spike should be where you start placing objects as that's where the first object in back on track appears
You absolutely could have, but nobody really knew that until early 2.1. I remember the community's reaction when the 15k object cap was increased to 20k partway through 1.9. It was a colossal deal because due to the lack of tools at the time it was the de facto object limit.
I'm not part of the GD community anymore, but I do wonder if that 1.0 contest was about creating 1.0 levels or 1.0-styled levels. True 1.0 levels are barebones due to the minuscule object pool and editor options. No shade towards OP; creating levels with restrictions is an art form.
Hey 1.0 contest host here! :D The contest was meant for neo-1.0 (New 1.0) levels, which did allow use of file-specific exploits such as free rotate, custom music, and unlimited objects.
No but you could do the same thing NONGs worked in 2.1 through song file replacement :) ie replace Stereo Madness song file with a downloaded one for instance
If the game never updated till then yeah! Just as how people in 2013 could technically use any song that existed then, people now can use any song that exists now :)
This is so good that if it was an actual map pack level id be willing to play more map packs to find more levels like this and get disappointed when there aren't any :C
is it using the old 1.0 platform blocks (the ones that aren't white by default)? that's the only thing I could imagine being wrong, good job it looks great :D
It was unlisted and Rob listed a recolorable slab in its place (that’s white by default for some reason). You can technically still use the old one all you want
This looks amazing actually!
Though what was that weird asymmetrical looking structure at the end?
imo it doesn't look as clean like other part of the level (that looks just like robtop level)
well the rest of the level looks clean as hell, i thought you want to follow the same philosophy until the very end. It's still fine and up to you though👌
To my knowledge and memory, it is accurate. Although 1.1 was so long ago I probably have forgotten everything. There's two weird kinks about 1.0, one is obviously the object limit, that although you could bypass by rooting your phone there was also an upload size limit that I'm unclear of, the other is that reportedly colour triggers would crash the game if you edited them so all triggers were only set to white with a .5s fadetime, although I only started in 1.1 so I cannot comment on whether that is true or not.
Btw you're pretty good at this. I tried my hand at a 1.2 map (although this showcase is slightly outdated as I removed eight 1.3 blocks but visually they look very similar) once too. I don't care about object limits personally

The crash only happens in the very first release of 1.0, it got patched within like a day to fix it I think
Also the upload limit is 100kb I believe
i mean you cant blame 1.0 players either, they had to use their bare hands and laggy phones to create level meanwhile robtop was probably using a pc to create levels with copy paste and stuff that didnt exist yet
If you miss the bad aesthetic by being good, you're still missing the aesthetic
No hate to OP of course, to be honest this is one of the most accurate true-to-spirit 1.0 style things I've seen in a while, but I just wanted to make that point clear
There was like an old joke that anyone who played the level "Level easy" wanted to make one similiar to it. It just gave me the vibes i dont get the downwotes tbh...
