Do not use: Lightpost (Nope! Can't have that... I need my lightposts.)
Do not use: Roach Egg
Make this interaction the main focus of the room: Rattlesnake uses snake movement.
Force player to avoid this interaction: Tar prevents Platform on Water from moving. (X)
Include this interaction in the room: Every 10 turns, Floor Spikes stab.
Include this interaction in the room: Staff cannot cut Tar. (Y)

X+Y = Not gona do it...

Do not use: Disarm Token
Use: Seep
Use: Water Skipper
Include this concept: Multiple-stabbing tarstuff
Force player to avoid this interaction: Briar can be blocked by Broken Wall.

This seemed easy enough. Just wanted an unusual partner for the tarstuff stabing.

Make this interaction the main focus of the room: Mud cannot grow onto Rock Golem.
Force player to avoid this interaction: Clone cannot be placed on Mirror.
Include this interaction in the room: Brained monsters do not consider Rattlesnake's head an obstacle.

Mud can't realy grow on any monster(including its babies) but why not, Clone on Mir... and Rattlers getting in the way of all the smarts.
Yeah, screw this...

Make this interaction the main focus of the room: Every 10 turns, Water Skipper Nest spawns Water Skipper.
Force player to avoid this interaction: Engineer builds Water.
Force player to avoid this interaction: Red Door opens when all Trapdoors are removed.
Include this interaction in the room: Evil Eye and Rock Giant activate On-off Pressure Plates simultaneously.

Prevent Engie from building and focus on things that spawn every 10 turns... That ALMOST screams fun... Oh why not!

Side note:
The entrance was modified at some point to allow retrieval of the sword for clean up purposes, but was restored later due to breaking
the whole flippin room. But being the [insert insult here] I am, managed to submit the wrong version and/or export of the room.
(thats what I get for having 4 exports on my desktop and refusing to sleep I guess)

At least my mistake spared people what, like 3.5K moves?

Make this interaction the main focus of the room: Guard can attack across a diagonal Gentryii chain.
Force player to avoid this interaction: Pit slows Briar growth.
Force player to avoid this interaction: Water Skipper Nest can move over Water.

People with weapons, Pits and Briars and also Skippers. This sounds familiar... and also 4 D LOVE of GOD! Skippers AGAIN?!! It's as if "The Random Number God Hates Me"
But I guess it could be the theme for the rooms.

I liked the trick with the potions. Given how powerful clones can be, destroying them isn't something you think about doing before being absolutely sure there's no way to take advantage of them. Also a more interesting way to use the potion rule than just leaving it out of the room. Luring the gel baby out of the way was really obvious compared to everything else in the room, probably not really even needed if you'd wanted to simplify it a little. The challenge was pleasantly tricky. One of my favourite rooms in the contest.

The room contains the right kinds of elements as specified by the rules, although it looks like it was thrown randomly together. Still, the room was actually pretty fun to solve. Disarm token wasn't needed and I don't actually know what its purpose is. There might be some interesting alternate solutions that use different elements on the east-side pressure plate (soldier or even a group of roaches?!), but I didn't attempt that too much.

Hard to approach... and in the end I didn't solve this as stated in the hint scrolls. Not really sure what to think about this. Not my favourite type of room.

A decent room, even if it's very execution-heavy with little thinking. Time limit was easy, staying off red doors a fair bit trickier.

The brain really only changes minor details in the execution. The solving process is essentially the same as in 1N1W. Didn't change my rating.

Some interesting parts like growing the adder (which I later found wasn't even needed, ha), but mostly I found this quite straightforward and not all that interesting. Curiously managed to do the challenge by accident without knowing about it.

One of the better rooms with a kind of hard-to-see trick in the final solution. One small improvement would be if the ideas had more synergy with each other - currently one of them only applies to the first pass, the other only to the last pass through the room.

I appreciate clean puzzle layouts a lot, which is why I gave this some extra points for style. Apparently there are ways to break this room, but I did this the proper way and found the room did what it was supposed to. Obvious Larry room based on aesthetics. A shame it only uses 2/4 ideas, as that probably costs a lot of points in the voting.

Somehow I got stuck in the Halph room for way too long. The rest of this is pretty easy. I know this is a gimmick entry that uses as many rules as possible, but I think it'd still be better if there was more interaction between different parts of the room instead of merely a chain of minipuzzles.

Somewhat unique room design - I don't remember a puzzle exactly like this. The main reason I didn't give a top score is I probably broke it in several ways by putting a keg on the dagger, not using the top-right corner, not thinking about putting a keg on the firetrap (although that would have saved one keg), etc... it just felt wrong. I wasn't quite sure in the end how you were meant to do some parts of the room. Staff not triggering bombs wasn't a relevant rule, at least in my solution. Certainly an interesting concept, but could use some finishing touches.

It's very easy to solve this room unintentionally, which unfortunately breaks all the ideas too. You can kinda tell how some parts are supposed to work, like using a golem for the bottom orb, but... I didn't feel trying to make sense of all of it.

The beginning is the trickiest part, but since there are so few options it doesn't take long to find a set of moves that breaks the orb. The mimic is a weird addition, since it's not needed unless you're doing the challenge and actually feels like it breaks the left half of the room.

The concept is neat, but as a whole this is a lot more tedious than it needs to be (even if the solution isn't very long if you're efficient - mine was 700 moves and I'm sure you could do better). I wouldn't play this without unlimited undo even with all the checkpoints, since you don't want to waste any moves trying to save your progress.

Another one of those rooms that's much easier to break than figure out legitimately. Didn't use p-plates or the orb in top. It looks like you're supposed to use the builder to drop the giant into water, which sounds terrifying, but I didn't actually want to try it...

I didn't find clearing the gel very fun, just because it involves so much trial-and-error dancing with the stalwart. I see blorx used the golems as a setup for this, whereas I ignored all of them and used the wubba. Still was hard to do. At least killing the waterskipper nest was more fun to figure out than clearing the gel.

First of my two rooms. It's a bit messier than I like and not something I'd expect everyone to enjoy. The decoy part is what I started building around and I quite like how it turned out. Tahnan complained about the wraithwing part and I can definitely see where he's coming from. This room might be better if I split it in two or trimmed the best parts of it into a smaller room, but in this instance I decided to stay more faithful to the given rng rules.

Fun room. Especially the part with the eyes and using a clone to finish the last one is a very neat trick.
One of the ideas forbids touching orbs, but the solution actually involves doing exactly that. Not sure if there was another solution or if it's just a weird interpretation.

My second room. I felt guilty about making that other crowded room, so I made something that less experienced people could play too.

Not a fan of this room, because it's so heavy on dancing and finding the right sequences of moves. Ideas weren't used in most creative ways either. When it's impossible to drink any of the potions, they might just as well be any other element.

I liked this more than I thought I would. Very tactical construct manipulation. Thumbs up!

Very good room. Only thing that feels unnecessary is the near-perfect-tight timer. I know it was a rule and I didn't reduce points for it, but when there's only one solution (and no too slow alternate solutions), the timer just forces everyone to get the same score. Still, it's one of my favourite entries.

The only room I skipped. After watching the demo I can't say I was close at all. I'd already spent quite some time trying to get the time-clone to behave in the monster chamber and was starting to get frustrated. The room might have been salvageable if the demo revealed that I'd just missed something obvious that made everything reasonable and fair... but that didn't turn out to be the case.

This room gives you a lot of freedom and I wouldn't be surprised if there are multiple nontrivial solutions. I think I still mostly followed the intended route. I'm curious if you were intended to lure the snake to the orbs like blorx did (it's not necessary). It's a decent room, even if nothing too memorable. The platform rule is implemented in a cute way. Trapdoor rule is breakable, since you can kill the eyes even if the red door is down.

For some reason this turned out to be annoying to solve because of all the dancing around the enemies, even though it doesn't look like it would be. Decent trick using the arrows to trick the guard into middle at least.

I don't have anything bad to say about this. It's clean, tricky and each step was fun to figure out. Easily my favourite room in the contest.
