Evil_Sire said this isn’t a race map. I say it is. I say it’s one of the freshest races I’ve seen in a long time.
It’s the flowy, linear action map. wulfgang manages to pack more artistry into this map than that wall of boobs at the Tate Modern. It’s an awesomely distinctive painting, with lines sculpted in complex, elegant strokes letting the ninja move freely.
wulfgang reveals not only immense flair, but also a mastery of the nuances of racemaking. It may not be big, bold, or a wall of boobs, but it remains beautiful in its own right.

This map still rocks my socks
I don't think this will ever age.

I agree with Seifer
Don't be an ass, eganic. Have some respect for the opinions of others. Some features are by well-known authors, others aren't. There's a difference between "let's feature more lesser-known authors" and "there should be no features from well-known authors". Good god man, you're not even trying to be constructive. It's like you don't even care whether the map is good or not. You just saw the author's name and decided the review was stupid. And you know what? That's just as bad as the people you're accusing of featuring only well-known authors. :\

eh. bit of a let down tbh
3/5
2009-09-02
a bit quicker
I also like to see classic old maps or maps from unknown authors featured but doesn't 'predictable' mean that it's deserving? Can't we have it both ways?

i dont like predictable features
i prefer a blast from the past or a map from an unknown noob.

This is wonderful.

I'm so impressed with this.
One of the best races I've ever played, I think.
5.

faster, although I messed up.
I do find this a good race, but there are a handful of problems. Firstly, I can't maintain my fastest speed, I always need to slow down somewhere (the first floorguard, the eight tile where the first floorguard is, the top HR area, the jump right after that, and the quick wall jumps at the end).
But other than not being able to keep a fast speed and tha random bulge and isn't really needed un the upper left, I like this. It's pretty cool and interesting

Interesting
This is definitely a race, it's just that the flow is a bit abstract and there are maneuvers that require precision, like an action map. As such, it's pretty good, but... well, what can I say? I'm just not much of a fan of precision in races. I did enjoy the flow-finding parts, though. Overall, 7/10.

It's just a conceptical race.
With cool linear-tilesets and flowish gameplay, it's easy to make this. :/ 4aved.

This is pretty cool.
2009-09-01
Bits of this seem really inspired.
But other areas didn't play or work aswell.
2009-09-01
One of the most subtle races I've ever seen.
You can even play it as an action. Extremely savvy.

Was this spurt of races temporary?
Or will you be staying with the genre permanantly?

AGD
With the top left section, because i dont like cheating ^^
This is why you are one of numa's best-ever race mappers. 5aved.

Just felt
like putting up a faster demo.
I wish I'd put a switch in the top left to make it necessary.

No.
It's _your_ definition of race. I categorize this as action since you can play through it like a normal action map. I didn't say I don't like it.
2009-05-23
The top left
is badass.
2009-05-22
Wonderful
The gold is used sparingly, very flowy (definitely raceworthy). Every mine is a well-calculated danger as well as the floorguards. Very fast and intense and everything is well placed. It seems as if the natural route, the tiles, and the enemies all blend together for a perfect race (although I messed up the floorguard at the bottom right). AGD

ERm
Not to racy. Good at being action, bad at being race. I do like how the floating floorguards are becoming increasingly popular.

u know,
i often try to make wulfgang-like races.
but i can never do it :'(
any tips? : P

amazing as always...
it could've done with a little more gold i guess.

Yay!!!
Another wulfgang race :). Stylistically awesome as always, if a bit similar to what has gone before. I felt it could have perhaps used a bit more gold?
"Race" covers all manner of things, and this map certainly falls in this category. I wouldn't say a race has to be linear either, though it usually is. A race to me is just a map where the focus is more on nailing the flow than anything else.

What is a race?
If it's not a flowy, linear action map? That seems like _the_ definition of race.
2009-05-22
This is a race
and it's a very hot one.
2009-05-22
I wouldn't call it a race.
More like flowy, linear action. Still cool though.

wow
its a very cool race dude
