[p] [/p][h3]WHAT MAKES A LEVEL FUN TO RACE[/h3][p]To give your level the best chance of being one of the up to 14 levels selected for the monthly Zeepkist Super League tournament by our panel of judges, focus on creating a track that is enjoyable to race. Keep these points in mind while building and testing your level:[/p]
  • [p]Enjoyability: Is your level fun to drive? Focus on smooth, flowing racing lines that are satisfying to drive. Add interesting twists, jumps or obstacles that make the track exciting without creating frustration.[/p]
  • [p]Learnability: Can players of all skill levels pick up your level and complete it in a reasonable time? The Super League is open to everyone, so try to design your level so both newcomers and experienced racers can enjoy it and have a chance to set a time.[/p]
  • [p]Theme Fit: Make sure the level fits the theme requirements[/p]
[p]Levels are judged on their own merits, not based on who built them.[/p][p][/p][h3]BANNER CONTEST[/h3][p]We're also hosting a themed banner contest for our Discord server banner image where you can win the brand new Banner Contest soapbox cosmetic for Season 7!!
