Mirage is what happens when you take a handful of the most original authors on NUMA and put them together in the same room with a copy of N and lots of drugs. They may have made The Mirage Explosion [metanet.2.forumer.com], a sprawling, 8 column event of a mappack, but the entire net weight of all those brilliant doesn't equal up to their masterpiece, Tribute to Balls. Its name may not suggest it, but this map is a sublime monument to the possibilities of N. I'm not grandstanding here; I really do believe this map is that good.
Also, ballllllllllllllllllllllllllls.

@im_bad_at_n
Luckily it's not your choice on what is reviewed, but the reviewers'. Gloomp chose this so we must respect his decision.

Good lord, skippy101.
That's a lot of a webpage to take up with crap.
The only thing I didn't like was that the oneways occasionly got in the way if you ran into the tile they were next to, but that was hardly ever.
4.6823/5, using my patented nonexistent calculation method.

One of my all time favourites.
Very fun. I wish my comp was better... :( 5aved. Some things I really didn't like: Guass in top right, just annoying. Walking up the slope with the gauss firing at the perfect angle to get you. It just feels cheap.

Maximo did.
.
"the stupid 1way platforms had no reason to exist and were absolutely not artistic in any detailed form"
The one ways were put there to block the doors which release the drones, making it more of a surprise.
"the mines serve no purpose"
I disagree. They add style and function.
"gauss placement destroyed the already absent flow"
There's actually plenty of flow on your way to the exit. Watch a demo.
"As for the door keys behind the exit key, come on man, that is so annoyingly frustrating, especially when connected to releasing a mass-produced wave of drones that inconveniently block the ninja's path and ruining the fun for the second phase of the map..."
Haha wow. You missed this map's point completely.
"I did that when I was a stupid noob."
Sad face.
"I felt i had to write the above extended review because this angered me that it was featured... "
Thanks for your opinion! We love comments.

skippy was so angry about this map
he gave it a 3 (ABOVE AVERAGE)
2009-06-04
You know what angers me, skippy101?
Your face.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I
like the way the map can be run backwards but overall it was ridiculously pointless. the stupid 1way platforms had no reason to exist and were absolutely not artistic in any detailed form that even was an unneeded obstacle due to the fact that it could glitch as if you hit a wall. Recessing, the mines serve no purpose and the gauss placement destroyed the already absent flow. As for the door keys behind the exit key, come on man, that is so annoyingly frustrating, especially when connected to releasing a mass-produced wave of drones that inconveniently block the ninja's path and ruining the fun for the second phase of the map... I did that when I was a stupid noob. And as for the beneficial side, well, its pitifully small. Other than reversibility, the gold placement was good and the tileset looked finely decorated to an extent.

2.5/5 ^

You're the shit, gloomp. Thanks for the feature.
2009-06-03
I must admit...
I think I might have twitched when the map became crawling with drones.
Love it. Nice feature.

2009-06-03
Thanks for the spoiler.
-_-
2009-06-03
I didn't expected that.
Even without drones, it plays beatifully.
2009-06-03
OMG
There is a trap to the button to activate the door ! It is vicious ! But I like it ! 5/5 for the map !
2009-06-03
