Description This is a collaboration map between me and lord_day, and very fun too.

This map was featured on 2008-09-16

Simplicity. Minimalism. Episodic. Three of the trickiest words within the context of the all-hallowed NED.

To carry off the aforementioned with any kind of worthy style, an author needs a firm grasp of the finer points of map making in general with a strong understanding of the use of emptiness as a device. It's about using space with art and without clutter; creating brief excitement with subtle depths and nuance; understanding more and applying less.

It's a Zen-like philosophy with an intricate yet softly spoken science, and here's a perfect example of one if its theories tested and proven. — astheoceansblue

Not a perfect map

But so close to being. 4/5.

I hate not being able to rate 4.5
but I did accidentally report yungerkid's comment
sorry about that

derm

great
Demo Data

yes

it has a similar feel
yours is probably better though

Ah

I come back to this :D
The tileset and objects are increible. The drones are a fun insight of what the power of THE POWER OF CUCUMBER is really capable of.

agree w/tk

nothing else to say...

*sigh*

It's wasn't featured because it was made by well-known authors. I won't say it never happens, but that seems to be an incredibly overused excuse on Numa nowadays.

It's beautiful, and it plays fantastically. Great map.

And this is now

one of my top 5 favorite maps

This is amazing

it lacked nothing
the gold is beautiful
so are the tiles
They are not limited...stupid people
tiles are designed to perfectly suit the objects, not be a great tileset usable for anything
This is stupid it has a 3
5ave from me, regardless of its current rating, it deserves that rate, I'm not antisniping and whatnot
also there was once a featured @ 2

too easy

but very fun

AGD

Sub 800 yeah ;D

Average

3/5
Didn't like those three zappyz...

New AGD

I did this a while ago, but it was when I was a noob.

splinter

no, the things stated in the review are the things atob believes apply to this map.

Oh

And the review could have been applied to any map. Seriously, it said nothing.

Distinctly average

I dont mean to troll, but this really is nothing special. If it wasnt by a famous map maper it would never have gotten the feature.

No offense to cucumber/lord_day, they are both great map makers, this just doesnt stand out in any way.

3/5. Like I said its not terrible, just nothing special

AGD

its a fun map
Demo Data

Incredible map

Perfectly balanced gameplay, the enemy placement and gold works beautifully together. Great looking too.

My only slight gripe is the way the rocket follows you on the bottom level, sometimes it feels a little clustered with the floor guards, drones and mines.

The review was very nice as well, with a great sense of dry wit.

pretty schweet

there's an overlapping piece of gold in the bottom right and one of the seekers constantly ruins my runs!
158.175 (got 156.625 with one missed gold <_<)
I'll rate 5 cos it is very good and u can't rate 4.5 anymore.. seriously i hate it..
Demo Data

good simple fun

and top notch review, atob

This is my AGD

stupid nReality

making me look stupid.

me and darkshadow, 886 I believe?

faster.

the bottom right could have been better. 4.
Demo Data

I remember this

pretty fun

Nice

Good one..
4/5

AGD,

also on NReality. I got some pretty cool close calls near the end - I thought I was going to die those times, but I didn't.
Very fun, though I think the bottom-left could've been used for something more. 4/5.
Demo Data
Sums up this map so well.

When looking at the thumbnail, you don't expect to find any fun in getting back up in the rocket section, or getting the bottom left gold.

Devious subtlety.
i thought it ould be worse. 4/5
pretty awesome.

AGD

quickest here this time.
