Description The Statue of Zeus was made of ivory and gold plated bronze. Viewers of the statue were said to be in the presence of the mighty Zeus, while others just stated that if the statue were to stand up, the whole temple would fall apart.

Race Week was a wonderful project that was organised by im_bad_at_n. A group of race mappers were brought together to make just one race each, and they were released without the authors' name being published until the week was completed.

Statue of Zeus at Olympia completely mystified me. The interesting quirks in the flow and innovative use of objects made me think yungerkid, but in the end it was revealed that etdeshon created this masterpiece.

Incredible use of thwumps and bounceblocks, unique tile-based flow, and incredible momentum without using a single launchpad. This race is nothing short of amazing. — _destiny^-

This is extremely creative, but I have to agree with Ferox.

wonder why i'm still on this website

wonder why i needed the demo
It may not always be a race map, but most weeks it will be. The genre may be gone, but it will not be forgotton.

Wasn't that a race map by usaswim? It's weird how many race maps I can remember with a little nudge...
thanks! I'm not sure what happened, but evidently there was a corruption in the copy/paste process... this is a nice, short race. I like that destiny is taking on the resident race reviewer position. Keep it up...

Amazing

great Job

But seriously, 19 less ratings? Huge difference. Most maps got over 10 ratings the first time round, whilst this time only half of the maps got public ratings. I wonder why...

man...

i feel like raceweek wasn't as popular and fulfilling as it was last time. it seems as if no one wanted to comment on the maps this go round...

my demo

glad everyone liked it. took a while to make and perfect. :)

Not the most noticed week, but I felt that every race in it met the standards of a great race. Thanks to those that rated, commented, etc. but special thanks to the authors themselves.
