Bad call on my part. I would have rather had it stress-fully challenging than too easy, in my opinion. And yes, I ran out of time before submitting. If I had known there was an extra submission hour, I probably would have abused that and made more levels, but it was my first time. I definitely know what to work on the most next time.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@Shigor:\r<br\/>Thanks for the compliment on my theme abuse! Yes, I'm aware of the easiness factor. I'm bummed myself about it. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>All-in-all it was a fun experience and I definitely learned my strengths and weaknesses so I can do much better in the next comp. Thanks for the feedback, both of you!"},{"author_name":"summaky","author_uid":"1885","time":"Dec 25, 2011 @ 1:32pm","epoch":1324819620,"text":"I concur: it is too easy.
