Schmittd's Least Piece Comp. Congrats ID36!

[schmittd]

This competition will feature a total of ten levels. I will post them two at a time. And I'm relatively new to FC so contructive criticism on the levels will be appreciated. Insults, however, will not be appreciated so much. After adding up the piece totals for all the levels, the competitor with the least pieces overall will be crowned the winner.

Anyways here are the first two levels:

[jdccdj1]

Hey, rookie of last year, go to the other thread below.

[jonnychoob]

Go for it dude Just post the levels and a deadline when you want to start it. You can have a leaderboard as well to make things interesting, and a submission form can make things easier but that's up to you.

Try to set out the thread nicely as well. Here's a good example viewtopic.php?f=5&t=9707&fbid=l66hSnlhaaT

[schmittd]

alright, the first two levels are up

[Bisam]

I'm in !
And winning Square Root...

[Skips]

What happens if there is a tie for pieces?

Got a good solve for square root, but really bad for tri-package (which IMO is a better contest level).
Looks good

[schmittd]

In the event of a tie, I'll post two more levels for the tie breaker. And so on until there is no longer a tie.

[rianbay812...3]

Have a great tri-package, not so sure about sqaure root

[Jyo]

yeh... cudnt get a solve...

sori schmittd lolz

[uuuiiiooop]

I'm going camping for 4 days so I can't do these two levesl, sorry.. Hopefully I can still continue the rest of the comp after?

[schmittd]

first and second round results are up

[Skips]

Not even a longway badge for Back and Forth v2
I'm doing very badly in this tournament, but it's still good fun.

He's last because I dropped out.

[Skips]

Forgot to submit for the last round, got womped by both of you anyway . I think the levels were good, but the fact that it was continuous meant that people slowly dropped out.

[Jyo]

nice job ID

yoo hav some really sick solves in there my frend

[schmittd]

not that it matters anymore, but i just tweaked my design for suspense down to 3 pieces using an idea from ID36's design.
