Click the poster for the full size version


When judging levels, these are the things we are going to focus on:

2) Effort and Polish
3) Fun Factor

Awesome prizes:
1st prize : iPad 2 + your level in a future update of the game!
2nd prize : your level in a future update of the game!
3rd prize : your level in a future update of the game!

On the forums you find the Bike Baron section and under it, contests & fan art section.

There will be a thread for the entries. Do not make your own thread, just reply to the one we already have there.
In the reply you should say the level code for your level and your Game Center user name (not your account email, naturally). This way we can ensure that the level was made by you and not by someone else.

In case you don't have a GC user account, you can either create one or post your level code and real name as a reply to the contest entries thread.

Remember, in order to the level to show on our server with your user name, you need to be logged in GC when you start the game and create your level! You have until January 12th, 2012 (12.00 UTC +2 timezone) to post your entry.

After the submit time is over, we are going to publish lists of top entries in the competition, so that people can play and enjoy your creations!

The winners will be announced on January 24th, 2012. We will contact the 1st place winner through our forums for shipment details.

(NOTE: We have the right to modify your level before publishing it with the game, if seen necessary.) 

Everyone at Mountain Sheep & Qwiboo is very excited about the competition and we can't wait to get our hands on your grand designs! GOOD LUCK!


***IMPORTANT*** By submitting your level to the contest, you give Mountain Sheep, Inc. and Qwiboo full rights to distribute, edit and use the level in the game, public user level listings and featured user level listings. If two entries greatly resemble each other, Mountain Sheep, Inc. and Qwiboo has the right to favor the entry that was submitted first. ***IMPORTANT***

Featured User Level - Way of Sun

Ladies and Gentlemen! Tonight (and/or Today) we have a special treat for you: A brilliantly and crazily excellent level named Way of Sun made by none other than great Aigledor himself!


This level is long, this level is pretty, this level is challenging. It took me 18 minutes 48 seconds and some pieces of second to finish and I enjoyed every meter/feet of it!

Warning: This level is hard. And long. And fun!

Great Video Review of Bike Baron!

Check out this really well done review by CrazyMikesapps:

 


This is the first footage I've seen of the game running on iPhone 4S. I haven't got iPhone 4S myself because it's not out in Finland so it was great to see it in the video!
