Part 2

ok here it is. notice how certain small unneccesary items were removed without destroying the general feel of the map. It is not good to overload on enemies, so i replaced the chaingun with a rocket launcher and removed a few others. This focuses more on a certain theme of the map, instead of a mass bundle of enemies. The drones still don't look too good, but I think they are more organised than before. Certain bounceblocks got touched up. Feel free to ignore this, I am just changing this to personal taste, and what i feel would be more succesful ;)

yes,

that would be great. I understand the aesthetic part, but still there are ways to reduce it. For example, the mines scattered across the bottom and the drones. Let me show you an example on the next comment

@leonidas:

thanks for the criticism, i see what you mean that simplicity is a good thing, and yes this map is crowded but many of the objects are purely aesthetic so you never interact with them in the first place. also this map is not quite as crowded as overflow, even not counting the drones in overflow. should i just use fewer objects?

I guess

I owe you a death demo after that critique. :D

honestly,

way too much stuff. I am fond of your maps, and I think you are getting used to mapmaking now, with 19 maps, so I am going to have to judge you a bit harder. The thumbnail was pretty good, but way too much junk and randomness. I love your maps, overflow is one of my alltime faves, but please accept this critism of a 2.5.
