Description You're the catalyst that makes things
faster; amylase will dry up the plaster;

it's a race by the way.

This map was featured on 2010-06-20

You'll play some maps for their replay value, and you'll play some maps for a flash-in-the-bang thrill. Amylase falls into the latter category, and pulls it off with a great degree of personal flair. Finding your way around a sprawling but intuitive obstacle course for the first time. Feeling the tension as seeker drones pass within inches of you. All of these aspects are executed in inspired, original and well cool ways.

Amylase gives you that vital surge of energy that you can only get in a single dose. So make the most of it while you still can. — Guitar_Hero_Matt

woo!

Looks cool though. 3.

ska?

so it's ok for you to punish us slow players? what about all the races which use drone timing etc. A fair few of those exclude vast swathes of the community.

But yeah, old map is old.

haha ska

I completely agree, that drone killed me like ten times, so I had to slow down my runs. I don't think mine's maxed though, so feel free to beat it.

hmmm

just realised this map is from 2008 - nevertheless...
also, GHM, why the hell would I play a map with no replay value? this does have a fair degree of it anyway, at least until the point you go to fast and die. may as well play a DDA if you want a map with no (re)play value.

thumbs down

this is one reason why :/ c'mon - we're not all as slow as you :/ don't punish fast players. you should know this by now mintnut.
2/5

Gonna play it later, I'm in school right now.

Hey romaniac

you take one frame, I take one frame ;)
Demo Data

Ahahaha

just realized it's not even chemistry, it's biology :P

Hey, calm down dude

Wasn't meant to be an inflammatory remark, and it wasn't even directed towards you. And why would you presume me to a chemistry major? I hate chemistry.

uh

"sorry 29403, but that was the stupidest goddamn thing I've ever heard, no offense. I remember from fourth grade that amylase is an enzyme that decomposes starch into maltose, and then another enzyme called maltase breaks maltose down into glucose and some other shit :P"

Well it couldn't have been that stupid since I'm in college and have never even heard of Amylase, much less what it does. When I first saw this title, I thought maybe it was a reference to a song or just plain random.

Not all of us are chemistry majors, or even really know much/care about science at all, for that matter :/
But instead I got this...

I actually sort of remember playing this when you subbed it.

one frame off!

love this map.

sorry 29403

but that was the stupidest goddamn thing I've ever heard, no offense. I remember from fourth grade that amylase is an enzyme that decomposes starch into maltose, and then another enzyme called maltase breaks maltose down into glucose and some other shit :P

As for the map, I was amazed by the fact that it was a race. Definitely worth a 5. I just didn't like how the chaser drone zaps you through the teleporter if you go too fast :P

Damn, I don't think I've ever written a comment this long.

damn.

okay, now this is just freakin' cool.
amylase /breaks/ down starch. It is not formed as a product, it is already there.

This is a great map, with very nice flow. I always like races that don't look like races. Well done.

29403 is correct

salivary amylase is also known as "ptylain"

good map
Demo Data

Wow

Sorry to repeat, but this really does feel like a race. It's really kool beans. =] 4aved

AGD

The flow here is really great; it almost feels like race.
Demo Data
Meh. Also isn't it flash in the pan? I mean, flash in the bang sounds a little... intense. D:

amylase

is produced when starch is broken down.

AGD.

The fact that you manipulated the drones so much annoyed me, but overall a one-of-a-kind excellent map.
Demo Data

Awesome

The flow is really, ungeneric, if thats a word. But the race itself is great, the atmos is cool, the teleporter was used well. I cant fault this, so have a 5.

Astounding.

The perfect race. 5.
Demo Data
I, and GEAH should form a music club haha :D

It's okay.

Not a huge fan of it. I don't play a lot of maps like this.

Pretty good,

But it felt like it needed a little more polishing in some places.
4/5.

This is one of my favorite maps on all of NUMA.

Bitesized and all of that other good stuff.
Demo Data
before watching your demo.

I enjoyed this.
Demo Data

Edited

so it's impossible to go too fast to beat the drone.

SH!T. I pressed 5.. DAMNIT... Zomg.. Sh!t.

Dont like it. Feels too messy. 3/5.

Intended flow demo.

Although feel free to use an unintended flow there may be. I don't think there is any, but you never know these days.
