Description Wanted it to feel like you were climbing a mountain...
Not sure if I succeeded, though.

Ever wanted to know what being a mountain goat feels like? Neither have I, but fortunately for those who haven’t, it’s a pretty sublime feeling. GreenEggsAndHam can’t turn you into a goat, but she can show you what being a superfast ninja goat feels like. It’s a long ways to the top, but being a cool ninja goat, it only takes a few bounds and you’ve climbed Everest. You can do loops and flips from the peaks, too; no rock is too unstable for your agile goat-feet. And, with a mighty Himalayan bray, you’ll reload the map and play again. — yungerkid

my only wish

Is that the map area could be 4 times as big to expand this.
This is a map that was designed, and it shows. It goes past the usual mapping standards... one of the best alterations of conventional gameplay I've seen on a map, and on the whole it doesn't seem to miss anything really. Just an airy puff of air that few maps can reach.
For those who haven't not experianced being a goat, it's sublime, yo.
and i knew that at the time, but i thought it still worked well. it is not a double negative; take out the "neither have i" at the beginning of the sentence and the meaning becomes quite clear and is clearly not a double negative. "neither have i" does not change that situation. it does, however, introduce a second negative, and the fact that the two negatives refer to the same thing is somewhat confusing. but it's not a double negative because the negatives don't stack on the same thing. i'd say it works, grammatically, overall.

Nah, squibs, that's just bad grammar. For more or less the reasons you mentioned.
Joy to play.
the rest was awesome! 4.5^5/5
The 'mistake' is what follows. By then saying "those who haven’t", a double-negative is being invoked. While it's unconventional, it is still fairly grammatically sound, unless you want to be really anal about it.

Slow AGD

Ninja goats, haha. Love it. Love it. Love it.

excellent map

and excellent review

...

'Ever wanted to know what being a mountain goat feels like? Neither have I,...' I feel like that neither is a bit of a mistake.
and i kinda miss claire ._.
This is a great map, and the review is cool cos it involves goats.

I wasn't sure about some gold, looping back if I miss a piece of gold isn't something i like doing... but still, the rockets are a great way to spend a wednesday morning.
nice feel though.

those

who, like me, haven't ever particularly wanted to know, but now, by playing the map, will.
and excellent map of course.

For those who

have*?

That was so fun

So clean and simple. The rockets were a perfect challenge, and the jumps were just fun. And of course, the aesthetics were great too! 5aved.

Sweet tiles, sweet objects, decent review.

I REALLY like those trees.

Yay

I was going to feature this when i was a reviewer, must have forgot. Glad you did it!

Ahhh, I love it! Thank you so much! Here, this AGD is incredible. It's not fast, but it's fun to watch. I fool the rockets so many times. Great gameplay, it does feel remniscent of crawling over rocky landscapes.

But gameplay is lacking. It's really difficult to make these angular rocket jumper types and keep them interesting enough.

Must stress: it does look puuuuurty :)

3.5/5
