This is really nice

Simple and effective, with some interesting ideas.

It's a great map in general. As a first map, it's completely mindblowingly awesome.

5/5 as a first map

Perfect gold placement. There isn't a huge challenge but that supports the fun factor.

Slow AGD

bounce blocks under the lower inside gold would have been a nice touch

lactose3: you did essentially nothing wrong, this map just lacks flair. But more importantly, you didn't spam, the object placement is clean, and the gameplay is replayable.

i had some good firsts...

ZTHING

Pretty good? This is great for a first. Most noobies just spam like shit.
This map is pretty good for a starter... You should try different styles and layouts per map to challenge yourself and get better at this. Remember that your first map won't always be your best, so whenever you feel your map isn't good enough, try making a better one.

The technical term for "thingy" is map

Thanks for the tips fellas

Very nice

great for a first....
Welcome to NUMA!

ZTHING saves

that speech then copy and pastes it on to a message to all newcomers haha. anyways welcome to NUMA as viil said enjoy your stay decent first map

Okay,

about that gold thing on paths, he's right, don't, but also don't place it too off of the path either.
This feels very metanetish (that's a good thing usually). The rocket, gold, and mines were great. The tiles were bland, but oh well, you're new. If you have any questions, feel free to ask by posting on one of my maps. I don't rate up because this is a first, but this was pretty good, so 3.5^, so 4/5. Welcome to NUMA

ZTHING got to it first... and better...

WELCOME

I HOPE YOU ENJOI YOUR VISIT.

This map is quite nice for a first, but try add alittle more 'pizzaz' on the next one. Add different tiles, use c snap (or z if you wanna do some hardcore there), and make it vary from all the other maps.
Listen to the following and you'll improve quickly:

Don't put gold right along the path - it's meant to offer an extra challenge.

Most people start with tiles first then add objects, but it's up to you.

Usually, less enemies is better, fewer enemies can offer a challenge without making it frustrating.

1 enemy can do the job of 3.

Don't lock enemies behind doors.

Watch where you put your trapdoors. If they lock the ninja in a corner or a place where you can't get out, it's a bad idea to place it there.

Feel free to ask questions.

Just keep mapping - You'll start to understand what makes a good map.

Always listen to advice from respectable authors.

Don't hide enemies or items.

Don't spam items or enemies or maps.

Only post 2 maps on Hot Maps at a time.

Play other people's maps. . . a lot.

Learn new things, and try new ideas and concepts.

If you devolp a style that works, stick with it if you want to. If not, that's fine too.

Playtest ALL of your maps (Can't stress that enough).

Anyway, Welcome to NUMA
