It's time again for new Featured Levels in N++! Yes, the amazing community of level designers has done it again, and the review team selected a few bright gems to bring some sparkle to your day.

Here’s what the curators have to say:

“These maps feature the winners of the MM07 mapmaking contest. This time the contest had the maximalist spooky theme of "WITCHY AUTUMN PUMPKIN." Why are we featuring October maps in early summer, you ask? Make it make sense, you say? I have no answers, but I hope you enjoy the maps regardless." -bigblargh

Check out these maps, and enjoy those fall vibes in summer! Big thanks to bigblargh, underwater amusement park, NateyPooPoo, Rivet, DarkStuff, HamSandwich, and kkstrong for your submissions and curation! And now on to the Featured maps: ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Name: starry pier Author: underwater amusement park Here you are. The gentle breathing of an ocean breeze. The shining stars that dance hypnotically in the depth of night. The thousand mile view that shows you the universe as you forget the world behind you. The bounding waves that could rock you to sleep. Just you, this perfect serenity… and a sniper rifle. -NateyPooPoo ————————————— Name: Tesla Coil Author: Rivet omg its just like so “intellectual”... like have u ever noticed how technical N++ looks its like got this kind of sci-fi aesthetic (if u REALLY think about it) it's like making a level with... like, yknow, a tesla coil (lol)... like about such a scientific concept like a tesla coil its SO FITTING you never even would have expected it... u feel me? -DarkStuff ————————————— [3rd Place | MM07 "WITCHY AUTUMN PUMPKIN"] Name: Unacknowledged Author: hamsandwich ————————————— [2nd Place | MM07 "WITCHY AUTUMN PUMPKIN"] Name: There's Pumpkin to Talk About Author: kkstrong ————————————— [1st Place | MM07 "WITCHY AUTUMN PUMPKIN"] Name: leave no evil Author: nateypoopoo —————————————

This month, we have a strikingly beautiful set of levels to Feature -- this is in keeping with the trend from the incredible N++ level design community :D Here’s what the curators have to say about these:

This batch of features includes the three winners from dMMc MM04, aka the N++ community’s regular mapmaking contest.The theme for MM04 was "HOME". The maps submitted for that month can be found by searching “MM04” in-game. The top three maps were determined by votes from N++ community members: 1st place - habitation mode: outpost [MM04] by NateyPooPoo 2nd place - reverie [mm04] by wolf 3rd place - You Are Always Welcome Here [MM04] by yahoozy These contests are ongoing, so if you would like to create or vote for dMMc maps, check out #contests on the N++ community discord. Thank you to everyone who submitted maps and voted on their favorites! https://monthlymapping.wordpress.com discord.gg/nplusplus

Thank you for the submissions, Damian, and to everyone who contributed levels (Qz, abho, yahoozy, wolf, and NateyPooPoo) and commentary (bigblargh aka sam, and DarkStuff)! Also, thanks to donfuy for creating this Monthly Mapping Contest, it’s super cool :D

Here are the levels, from the top screenshot above, to bottom:

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////  

Name: Alternating Current Author: Qz “Despite the best efforts of your physics teacher, comparisons to water pressure or moving rope fail to tell the full story of electricity. It can’t be accurately modeled by any other physical phenomena; electricity plays by its own rules. An annual average of two electrocution deaths are associated with consumers disassembling microwave ovens. Do not attempt to open or dissemble electrical appliances without training. You can be electrocuted and killed by capacitors even when the device has been unplugged. Do not attempt to save a person who is being electrocuted or you also risk electrocution. You can only touch them when they are no longer being electrocuted, at which point you must call emergency services and prepare to start CPR if they are not breathing normally.” -bigblargh aka sam --------------------------------------- Name: bag of chips Author: abho Just like a bag of chips, I keep taking handfuls of this level when I am well aware I should stop and take a break. It's the perfect junk food level: it looks hard but it isn't, it looks messy but it's very intentional, it's short enough you can just keep taking bites, and it's got a nice variety of simple flavors -- such as gatling, laser, and your classic zap, along with some sprinklings of mines. It's one of those simple levels I just can't stop playing. Om nom nom. -DarkStuff --------------------------------------- Name: You Are Always Welcome Here [MM04] Author: yahoozy --------------------------------------- Name: reverie [mm04] Author: wolf --------------------------------------- Name: habitation mode: outpost [MM04] Author: NateyPooPoo

Happy Spring! This month, we have even more amazing levels for you to check out, courtesy of the incredible N++ community. Here’s what Nate has to say about these:

donfuy’s Monthly Mapping contest began on April 3rd, 2022, and it is still going strong. That’s one year of mapping excellence from our highly creative and dedicated community! As of now a total of 186 maps have been made throughout 12 months of themes. Special shout out to SuperVolcano who took over for donfuy and kept this wonderful contest running into a new year. The theme for MM03 was “EPIC FINALE.” The maps submitted for that month can be found by searching “MM03” in-game. The top three maps were determined by votes from N++ community members.

1st place- “Final Flight of the Phoenix MM03” by frankytrees 2nd place- “MM03 - Vault Runner” by zakalwe 3rd place- “MM03 // basement darkness” by abho

These contests are ongoing, so if you would like to create or vote for dMMc maps, check out #contests on the N++ community discord. Thank you to everyone who submitted maps and voted on their favorites!

Name: My Land Author: NiceDay

Here we answer the question: "What if a tesseract sneezes?" Not that it's a question anyone asked, or one that particularly needed answering. Yet here we are, or rather, there we are, no wait, over there, hold on... Where are we? -NateyPooPoo

———————————————————

Name: weird trophy Author: sclews

In celebration of their excellence in level design... and for their affinity for rewarding linear experiences... and their fine-tuned drone patterns... and -- this list just keeps going doesn't it? -- their mastery of mine placement... and, uh, and their propensity for turning their regurgitated luncheons into ninja-killing contraptions... and -- is that appropriate to say here? I'm, yeah I'm going to skip that one. And their railing against Buddhism -- we give awards for that? Uh, yeah okay so this is for sclews. Uh, we give this trophy to! Sclews! Alright I'm done here, this thing is really awkward to hold, too. -DarkStuff
