How long should I wait after submitting before assuming it was denied and starting over? It's been a couple weeks.

Ah, informative. Didn't realise there was a guide for this, so no doubt my submission got rejected. xD

Oh well. I may try again some other time~ thanks for the heads-up on how this works!

I have played this game more than other fairgrounds games. I am going to attempt to make one. This guide is helpful. Thanks.

[quote]How long should I wait after submitting before assuming it was denied and starting over? It's been a couple weeks.[/quote] ^This. I'm actually curious if the admins are even still approving the levels or not. Been waiting a long time to see if my map got approved or not. Also it'd help clear the que of rubbish if they changed the editor so that you had to play-test the map before you submitted it to the que. As far as difficulty goes this should keep maps like rainbow vomit from even entering the que for admins to approve, since the person making it would notice how stupidly hard the map is and either not be able to submit it or otherwise just decide to change it before sending it in. Not allowing people to build in the last 2-3 rows at all in the editor would also be a good idea, since no maps with orbs that low are (hopefully) not getting approved anyways. Little more work for whoever made the game to go back and edit the editor, but it'd save a lot of time going through bad maps. But ah well, game's still fun. I just wish there'd be less maps with patches of orb colors you can't even get to that are only there for artificial difficulty. It's rather annoying.

^^ Mine has been waiting for several weeks also. I followed all the guidelines for submitting it, so it at least should be reviewed at some point... is it because there are too many people sending in puzzles?
