If you haven’t played the amazing Bangai-O Spirits game by legendary developer Treasure, do yourself a favor and read the many, many excellent reviews, then hurry out snatch your own copy today. Bangai-O Spirits (BOS) breaks all the rules by combining the puzzle solving genre with old fashioned shoot-em-ups (shumps) then unlocking all 160 levels right from the get-go, leaving the motivation to keep playing squarely on the shoulders of the gameplay and level designs.

Luckily this isn’t a problem for BOS since you can create, play and share your own levels with the fantastic level designer included in right in the game. You can even use it to enter contests… if you’re a world famous game designer that is.

The latest contest by D3Publisher invited the worlds top game designers to put their talents to the test and compete to see who is the Master BOS Level Creator. Winner gets $10,000 donated in their name to the graduate fellowship at The Guildhall at SMU, the premier graduate video game education program in the US.

The best part is you can play all the levels right now, for free. Turns out we are the judges! To participate, first download all the levels and give them a play through. Woo Hoo!! After playing testing each one, be sure to vote for your favorites!
