Description Submitting it at long last because MARS is definitely dead. Enjoy.

Tell-Tale Heart is Pheidippides at his best. Combining beautiful tiles, objects and gameplay, Heart reeks of awesome.

The outer corridor is a great example of how to make a minimalistic pattern fun and addictive, and the inner area uses drones so well, yet so simply, you wonder why you didn't think of it.

Presently I heard a slight groan, and I knew it was the groan of mortal terror. It was not a groan of pain or of grief—oh, no!—it was the low stifled sound that arises from the bottom of the soul when overcharged with awe.gloomp

A lot of fun.
Other than that, awesome gameplay, great use of enemies, and great aesthetics. The tileset, IMO, is the best tileset I have seen with a heart in it.

Finally understand the title. Tell-Tale Heart, by Edgar Allen Poe, right? It seems a lot of your titles are inspired by him.

I love the feel of this map. It's just, great, and fun. It even looks good as well. Faved.

It's nice to see a featured map that I already have in my favorites.

4\5

Only one zap instead of a pair would have worked, but what the hey this map rocks

Pretty nicely made.

Looks

A lot better than it plays, imo.

The outer sections are brilliant, but the middle section feels empty for some reason. Really doesn't pay off like it promises.

Still, it's a good map.

AGD.
Demo Data

Awesome!

did it first go though...lol
But its still awesome

5/5
This was the first map I ever played on NUMA. Left a great first impression. ;)

Anyway 5/5aved.
It was a good run, though. Besides, a snipe is just as much a recognition of quality as a 5 is. ^^

Pretty awesome.

Demo Data

Masterful.

Today, after ignoring Numa for what seems like forever, I logged back in, just to see what was going on. And after being dismayed by the N-art that seems to drown the Top Rated list these days, I found this map. It's good, dude. Real good. 5/5.

Horrible AGD

5/5 for the map, 1.5/5 for my AGD :D
