Description Hello, here is a map I made. I hope it is not too terrible!

I agree.

It was too cramped and difficult.
The drones moving within the 2-tiles-width-corridor-spaced-over-3-grid-spaces, along with standard ring-around-the-block-formation made it astonishingly tricky to maneuvre oneself over to the gold; the addition of mines and other enemies has made the gameplay of this map subsequently an endeavour that requires diligent, not to mention rigorous, timing and execution. The player's requirement to eye the rocket and the thwump, enemies that are most of the time considered to be more potent than the "predictable" zap drones, actually cause said player to at first disregard the latter, until is confronted with these droness devious pathing. This will evoke such thoughts: "wait, what the fuck? Aren't those schmucks supposed to go thatotherway??", followed by an arbitrary exclamation indicating the player's recognition of the drones' intricate treachery hiding under the guise of predictability, which leads to the discovery that it is in reality the tileset that creates the illusion of drone dumbedness, and henceforth thrusts the player to the conclusion that the drones are equally as dangerous as the rocket, thwump, and mines combined.

My criticism of the rest of the map follows:
Personally, I think the abovementioned gameplay of the bottom portion is the driving factor that really sells this map; in my opinion, the tile theme is nonparticular and the gameplay of the top portion of the map is a generic collection easy-in, easy-out, trap-the-drone, and dip-for-the-stuff-floating-above-the-enemy gimmicks that are not unusual for new mappers, which I assume to you be, Zvarri.

4/5.

Fun stuff

welcome to NUMA!

p.s. make races

Wahahaha.

Nice one, Rhekatou.

the mine placement around the gold made this difficult to manuever around, having said that, the tiles are nice. Drone placement is great, and fun to play, change the mines and this will be great.

welcome

remember, don't feed radium; he's cute, but he'll only want more.
