Description You make me shine so hard.

This map was featured on 2012-07-14

Diamond isn't much to play; it's not supposed to be. It may be a decent highscore map, I don't know. However, this map encompasses something about N that has kept me playing it for years, something that very few games have. The game itself is fun, no doubt about it. But the scenes that surround the ninja bring out the true beauty of enjoying N. Would you rather have dinner in a dank alley or a blooming garden?flagmyidol

This review helped me to pinpoint why

Great review.

i like

it. hi lord_day :D
but hey, lord_day has really some /playable/ maps...
but, hey, if the alternative was nothing, might as well

AGD

Heres a cleaner one ;)

it's okay

he wasn't trying to make any gameplay, so you can't even judge the map for being boring

faster, but can definitely be improved with a better wall jump at the end. i don't expect this run to last, but i do think this is the fastest route.

Today is not a day when you get to complain about the map choice, as the alternative was nothing.
It's simple and elegant, yea, but that's pretty much it. There are literally no other defining aspects I can find other than it being fun to look at it and simple. Its gameplay is short and the tileset could've been used for more.

Or maybe I'm making mountains out of molehills and should just learn to enjoy the simple things. Hm.

Cool map :D
Demo Data

I was playing this

a couple of days ago: it's good, and pretty of course, but a shade too slight - doesn't quite have the charm of, say, Shadow of Khafre, for instance

damn elegant.

Something confusing: the usual 'write review' button was gone in favor of an 'edit review' button. Never seen that before.

I might steal some stuff.

Nothin' special. Mines would've helped, or a gauss.

Very well made.

It was lonely without you here.
The gold and tiles were placed pretty carefully. I really love the look of this map, the gold and tiles both follow density waves, and the faux rectangle is what creates that. I appreciate that there is no gameplay value here, but I wasn't trying to create any.

er

it just felt like 'hey let me spray some gold on some basic tiles in hopes of creating a great map'
