[h3]THEME: Bubble Trouble[/h3]

• Build a level that uses the new bubble and soap paints for part of your level!
  
• Looking for ideas? How about a level inside a bathtub, an abstract garden with bubble trees, a bubble factory or a candy-themed landscape made with bubbles!
  

[h3]DEADLINE[/h3]

• Your track should be complete and submitted by Sunday, 22nd October 2023 at 18:00 UTC+1
• Submissions will be combined into a single workshop item after the deadline above
  

[h3]SUBMISSION RULES[/h3]

1. You can only submit one level (you can modify or replace your submission as much as you like until the deadline)
   
2. Level collaborations are permitted (this counts as a level submission for each individual creator)
   
3. The name of the level MUST start with "ZSL - " (e.g "ZSL - My Level")
   

[h3]LEVEL RULES[/h3]

1. Scaling track pieces is permitted
   
2. Level MUST follow any theme requirements set above
   
3. Level MUST be under 4000 blocks
4. Level MUST have an author time above 30 seconds
5. Level MUST have an author time under 1 minute 15 seconds (75s)
   
6. Level MUST have at least 2 checkpoints. Consider adding additional checkpoints for split timing or where it would prevent a cut, as cuts do not make for good tournament tracks!
   
7. Level MUST NOT have hidden finishes/shortcuts (e.g using no-collision or invisible blocks to hide a secret path that is NOT the intended route)
   
8. Level MUST NOT have alternative "risky" finishes
   

[h3]HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR LEVEL[/h3]

1. Join our Official Discord server
2. Upload the level to the Steam Workshop
   
3. Link the workshop item in the theme's thread in #level-submissions
