Make a Good Mega Man Level Contest

23.05.2016
The good news: A festival is being held in honor of Mega Man and his tireless heroics! The bad news: Dr. Wily shows up to ruin the fun, and basically everything at the festival tries to kill our hero. Mega Man must conquer an array of eclectic challenges in order to restore peace! Inspired by the Super Mario-themed Make a Good Level contests, this is the game that launched the largest and most ambitious Mega Man fangame series ever. In contrast with later installments, MaGMML1 is built in Blyka's Engine, contains a small number of contestant-submitted levels, gives the player a limited number of lives, and has relatively few extras and special features. The judging rubric, copied from Make a Good Level Contest X2, is borderline incomprehensible. The special weapons, decided by popular vote, are somewhat redundant due to how the voting was set up. Arguably the biggest distinguishing feature, however, is that the game is absolutely full of bugs. Regardless of the quirks, the game still built the foundation for the bigger and more polished games that followed it. Five people judge levels based on certain criteria, levels are placed into tiers, Wily levels are made by the judges, and everything is compiled into a big game in the end. On top of that, the game is full of humor (intentional and otherwise), and there are several memorable (and infamous) levels that any fan of the series should experience at least once. History must be preserved! Play at your own risk - there are loads of glitches and the whole game is full of jank.

The good news: Mega Man's heroics are once again being celebrated with a festival, this one even bigger than the last! The bad news: Actually...things look pretty safe this time, and it's highly unlikely that Dr. Wily will try to destroy reality as we know it with a gigantic space cannon, so there's probably no bad news at all. Just enjoy all the creative, wacky, unique, and unusual simulations the festival has to offer, and say hello to that mysterious figure who seems to be watching you... MaGMML2 expands and improves on MaGMML1 in almost every way. Built in Mega Engine and subjected to more extensive playtesting, the game runs smoothly (you can actually ride Rush Jet this time!) and offers several new configuration options. The judging rubric has been refined, and judge comments cover the highs and lows of each level in greater depth. A new collectible and many more assets were available to the level designers, allowing for even more variety in the gameplay. Several features have been added to keep things fresh, and there's enough bonus content to keep you entertained long after you've completed the contestant-submitted levels.

Challenger is a frantic single-screen shoot 'em up. The player is in their craft at the bottom of the screen, shooting bursts of three shots at 45 degree angles at flashing polygons. When hit, the polygons split into smaller ones. Your task is interrupted by incoming squiggly lines which will destroy your ship unless you hit it before it reaches the floor. Furthermore, a walking car or robot creature sometimes enter the screen, giving you bonus points if you locate your ship below it. As a safety measure, you have a smart bomb that damages everything onscreen, as well as the ability to change sides to the top of the screen if it gets too crowded at the bottom.
