ohh
so race doesnt really have to be flow but instead kinda like a time concern level where u have to do it fast right??? in that case i could make better race lvs

Other enemies?
Check this [nmaps.net] Riobe map out. He's by far my favourite race mapper, and this one shows good use of laser drones, as does his 00-0 in the RacePack (I forget the name). That link also has some thwumps used well in there. For more great use of thwumps, this [nmaps.net] is fantastic inspiration.
See this [nmaps.net] featured epigone race for some good use of zap drones, which are not often seen. Another Riobe map, this [nmaps.net] one, offers some good ideas for working with floorguards.
So there are some ways to use other enemies. Also, all of those offer a great lesson on flow and the ability to open a tileset up to so much more use than just loops, like what you've got. Reusing parts of a race midway through makes the race seem so much bigger, and offers more freedom for the ninja. Trying to make a loopy race like this long means you have to cram tons of loops into the map, whereas all the races I linked you to earlier are lengthy without being cramped or repetitive.
I hope this helps in your race-making.

Not a fan of your races at all, really.
This is the third one I've seen - I'm just checking now to see if any of them have anything new in them at all. They're so unspectacular and average. They're just loops. There's no danger to them if you play them right, and no difficulty, either in finding the flow or following it. There's no innovation anywhere, and you seem unable to use any enemies but rockets, gausses and mines even remotely well.
I'm going to keep looking, though, at your newer ones, to see if you've improved at all.

Fun map
Liked it a lot, though the gold path is slightly confusing in one area, and it turns out it's cheatable, if that matters at all. Here's a demo.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!
first try again =D
LOVED the thwump part, didnt like the end though... i found out that the 4 tiles are not good in races when used like that.

Well, I think I know what you mean. ITs because that area is corssed over 3 times, so i made 3 paths o' gold, making it seem confusing...well thanks anyway
2009-04-25
yeah I know it does,
I'm just saying don't have it so needlessly in some places, just in some confusing places, so that it will lead the player to where he/she needs to go

MattyMc 13, the gold does lead who where its supposed to go.
2009-04-25
a big improvement over yourr other races
and I really like this one, other than the fact that there was a lot of gold. Try to make patterns of gold in certain areas where you might need to direct the player. Otherwise, good job.
4/5
4/5

No, the whole point of a race is flow.
It's not that your races are terrible, it's just that they're boring. They don't use anything innovatively or even difficultly - they're just loopfests. If you want classy races, play any -^destiny_ or Riobe race, especially the Riobe Race Series (search rrs to get them, there are ten of them, and I took a bunch of the examples in my earlier post from there). You'll see what I mean by difficult and interesting.
Also, it's like Destiny said on one of your earlier races - loops tend to bore people. They're just running. Loops that are broken up are better, and no loops, but instead a different style of flow, is best.
You're welcome for all the references, and I hope you do try to make some races with those ideas incorporated - you could probably do great things with race maps with a little effort.
