Those are excellent ideas. I've got the challenge in mind. I didn't use any of your ideas, but maybe I used them all

As soon as Dirbaio confirms whether he'll make a contest subforum on his boards, I'll post the official contest thread there.

Here's the rough challenge if you want to start your brain juices.

Challenge: Make a level that uses all three areas, and uses a different tileset for each area.
Requirement: The player must start in area 1. The flag pole must be in area 3. The play must not be able to get to area 3 from area 1. This means that the player must travel through all three areas sequentially. Back tracking is allowed, but the only way to area 3 is from area 2.

Try to make it so each of the three levels make sense in a row, and feels like you're traveling across a landscape of some sort.
