Description Whoop! My first DDA. I've decided on being weird and calling them DdAs though, cos im funny like that. I think this is OK-ish, but I'm sure i'll come up with better in the future. This will probably be the last map I release before Christmas so, Merry Xmas, Happy Hannukah and a Great Big Turkey!

RCE and all that.

I'm pleased to see that, unlike many other first DDAs, you didn't rely heavily on launchpads. Trap doors are more interesting. Unfortunately, long lines of trap doors are not very exciting. They're a cheap way to build up speed and they're very predictable.

It's also good that you experimented with gold delay. While you didn't use it that often, the times you did use it were a bit excessive. If you find yourself using lots of gold delay to avoid an enemy, perhaps you should try a different route. Sad as it may be, you may need to backtrack and delete some of the previous objects.

Enemies are always good, but don't add an enemy if it's not going to be used in close calls. I liked some of your laser work, but the gausses and rockets weren't in any good close calls.

Over all, this is very good for a first DDA, as it goes beyond the usual launchpads and mines. Continue tweaking your effects and exploring more propulsion methods.
-0.5 for launch pads
-0.5 for gold delay
-0.5 for no constent ecxitment
-0.25 for not colectiong all gold
-0.5 for not many close calls

2.75 is your total BUT

+0.5 cause its your first


so i think 3.25 is your total


3/5 basicly




GOOD FOR FIST dont get me wrong

Cool DDA

for a first, 3.5
