Contest REMIX CONTEST 12 - Round 3 Starts!

Hello all, apologies for the slight delay in practice round feedback. I hope the feedback we've provided will help you build upon your practice round entries so you can grow into the competition in future rounds. While none of these scores count towards your overall total, hopefully they are enlightening and show what kind of effort we expect people to put it when making a "good" track. SilentFinger will receive +1 overall point for the feature of their track, spew.
Additionally, Ness ' judging was performed jointly with Volund , so their judging/cc is combined.
Hope all your round 1 entries are coming along smoothly! reach out with any questions about feedback or current/future rounds

Sltg28 - The Aftermath - 5.5/10
the background is a real highlight here, I like the depth it brings to the track. the art pieces throughout are nice, and I like the skatepark vibes of the foreground too. good stuff. but there was a lot of unused potential to add some mammoth objects.
volund note: cool detail go crazy this remix contest pls!

SpeedyDemon1 - The Great Sky Island - 6/10
love the little guys and the little world you've created here, very pleasing and I like how the ride plays. good use of the objects, nothing too ambitious but still pleasing.
volund note: im a sucker for zelda tracks (especially in remixes!!!!), and this is an adorable take on totk! the constructs and buildings are fantastic, really gives me the great sky island vibe too. wouldve given this an 8/10, hope to see more remixes from you!!!

JustAGDFan - Sample 3 - 7/10
love the tech vibes throughout. the first part with the bomb bounce and the tube was the most difficult part, not too friendly to non-spacebarrers, but other than that the rest of the ride is a fun challenge and a treat to play through. around two minutes of a good ride scores big with me, even if there's a lack of variety in the circle/cube background.
volund note: this is really sick keep it up

Clash06 - Momentum - 3.5/10
ride is a bit more frustrating than fun, but I appreciate the layout and how you've transformed the objects! keep up the cool transformations and just be a little more particular with the placement, and I think you'll be in a good spot.
volund note: cool concept, take it further in contest!!!!

TPlacella - RC12PR - 6/10
I appreciate the ambition of going for a 4 minute ride. I struggled with the layout, although I can appreciate the recycling, the usual fun of a recycled part is returning to a part with a different speed or different direction that opens up a new path. with no indication of where to go (numbering stars is not a help when I have to pause and scroll around the track to find them), it ends up frustrating returning to areas I've already been. so I'd work on your sign posting. like the Z --> between stars 14 and 15, that tells me to turn my bike around and go that way. that's not what you meant by it.
volund note: the ambition is great, wanna see a finished version for sure. just be mindful that recycling on its own is not always good - needs some intuitiveness as well once approaching a section ride from a different angle/speed/gravity for the WOW factor to land. see if you can tinker with it and remove the arrows pointing which way to go.

GreenJetPackNo.1 - Unsavorism - 7.5/10
fun little remix, nice and smooth with some interesting use of powerups to mix up the ride! cant wait to see what you cook up during the main contest, youve been releasing some great stuff up to now

narrowed - Even Flow - 8.5/10
very impressive! some neat recycling, great gravity usage, fantastic stabs at water and cloud detail. clouds in particular are a highlight for me with them stretching all the way up; feels like a mario level or something similar! did have some issues with glitching through the track and jumps not smoothly lining up, so be sure to iron out those tiny kinks in future entries, as i wouldve scored this higher if not for that. really fun, love it!

mR..A - Mammoth Returns - 9/10
youre one of the goats for a reason, very fun and love what youve done with the overlapping lines! not much to say, we all know it's fantastic, hope to see more from you throughout this contest

Egona - Deirdre - 3/10
yeah look, not your best work and i think you acknowledge that too so wont spend too much time on this. the chinese character is well-drawn (eli knows im a stickler for this lol), rock detail is ok but think youve done much better, ride was challenging and not in a good way. hope to see some finished remixes from you, dont let tiktok brain stifle your potential any longer ray:

E.d.e.n - Remix - .5/10
please dont just take these objects and upload them without changing anything. not a great look, and not in the spirit of this contest. get creative!!!!

loge_0 - Oxford Comma - 10/10
resident loge glazer glazing... whatever idgaf this track is so much fun, recycling and multiple routes LOVEEEEE... but the oxford comma is mid i fear. $loge to the moon.

pneumonoultramicro - Remix - 3/10
tough to play, but i appreciate what you tried to do at the start! just be mindful of how ppl look to play tracks (ie, long straightaway = going fast holding up), and how the top authors use boosts, gravities etc to supplement and enhance the ride, rather than patch up poor ride constructions. i have a thread on this - highly recommend a read! hope to see you remix more during the contest

SilentFinger - Spew - 11/10
ive done enough glazing of this, easiest feat of my life. beast mode.

Cool track, the background is well drawn. The buildings and water tower are nice highlights. The slight remix to the track was cool and rides well. To be really critical id like to see you try to integrate the foreground track w the background in a different way in future rounds…..

Sleek, simple, elegant. Fun ride. Nicely done, good track. The totk theme is cool and the temples are sweet. In future rounds, integrating the track w the background in a way other than floating islands would take this to the level

The use of the circles is cool and space filling, and I think you used the platforms to make a nice ride. Similar feedback to everyone else so far, I wish to see you get more creative with the platforms in future remixes

I really like what you did w the circles, the style matches how the platforms look and brings the track to another level. The platforms you made yourself also look great in conjunction with this.

Would love to see you branch out more in future round and try detailing some more!

You made something cool here and used the platforms in a new way to make a trial-y ride, which Im a fan of. It’s solid. A few hiccups here and there w directing the rider but otherwise it’s cool. Would have liked to see you transform the appearance of the platforms more

Nice job! Solid track, and you made the platforms more of your own w the light detailing. I can tell you weren’t trying for anything too groundbreaking here, and it came out solid. Excited to see what you produce in future rounds

7/10

Way to go w adding a background and putting the platforms in an environment that makes sense. All in all a cool, solid track. Would love to see more of this in future rounds. If anything could be improved upon, I’d recommend changing the look of the platforms.

I like the appearance of this one… nice way to shake up the original and make it appear new stylistically. Simple and elegant, can tell you were going for something lighter this time around. Well done

Some effort shown, though not complete. The changes to the ride and detail of the platforms you made are both good ones, would love to see this idea more fleshed out..

4/10

Good start, though I kinda think you just pasted some of the platforms and took credit for it. Would love to see you switch things up more from the original next time.

Really cool way of remixing the ride, really loved riding through the same track 3 different times. This track has a cool vibe going on. If anything could be improved on, itd be how light the detail is, though I recognize that it looks good as is.

The beginning of something good is here! Changing up the style of the platforms, even in as basic a way as you did, really makes it feel like a new track. Would love to see you improve upon these ideas in future rounds.

Obvious pinnacle of the round. Really well done. The messiness isn’t super unbecoming since its meant to be viewed at scale. Ride is really well incorporated. Really liked the idea of reusing the platforms as some sort of logo. Well done
