ecmyers | 97 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Oh boy. This looks like an awesome challenge, and the elimination rules add an interesting wrinkle. No special rules for Böbl? I believe you can collect up to 8 ducks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadeye | 1,596 Homebrew Team · Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 @ecmyers if that is the case, we will add the duck requirement. Let me look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm counting on you to keep thinking that. I guess that's your excuse for me beating you last time? As much as you've won, you still never beat me and I'm sure that keeps you awake at night while I can rest easy knowing that I can do it again.

bertsampson | 345 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 You've never beaten me in a tournament either there big boy. Too bad you didn't put a little time into the HomeBrew competition, I could beat you twice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadeye | 1,596 Homebrew Team · Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 About a week left until starting this. I have been tossing around the idea of adding the condition of no death run for The Mad Wizard. I can go either way on it. Any feedback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadeye | 1,596 Homebrew Team · Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 Got about 9 hours until this kicks off. Didn't get any feedback about adding a no death run requirement for the Mad Wizard, so it will stand without that added. Good luck! Starting at 12:00 AM EST / VGS Time Round 1 (October 3 - October 16) - Remaining 6 players compete in: Beat the Mad Wizard (Optional, but offers immunity) We are returning to the land or Prim, but instead of flying over it, playing The Rise of Amondus, we will be navigating its landscape in The Mad Wizard. A metroidvania adventure staring Hekl (who you may remember from Candelabra Estoscerro) by @Rob Bryant of Slydog Studios. First player to beat a play through of The Mad Wizard and post a image of the ending screen in this thread will have immunity from elimination this round. High Score in Scramble Shoot your way through this horizontal shoot 'em up, by @KHAN Games of KHAN Games, to a high score. Make sure to collect fuel along the way to keep on flying. How do you collect fuel? Well you shoot it. Player with the lowest score, that is not safe from elimination (see above), will be eliminated from the Final Season. Player with the highest score will get a 2-second time boost to their time during the Final Round. TL;DR First player to beat The Mad Wizard is safe from elimination. Remaining players will need to post their high scores in Scramble. Lowest score is eliminated from the competition. Boost Bonus: Highest score in Scramble, gets a 2-second time boost to their time for the Final Round. Scramble Rules: One player mode 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
