Description :'( [nmaps.net]

This map was featured on 2012-10-22

It looked easy when I started playing. I was wrong. It was challenging. 5 drones in a perfectly crafted room is an effective killing method. Fortunately, this map is also an effective method to have a lot of fun, because this map does drones right. In this map, the drones aren't annoying, they're just hella fun to dodge. The difficulty created by the drones made the map strangely not frustrating; because of the way the drones worked, you never die in the same way. Good work, Ferox. — lfaber

There is an alternate version to try out - albeit harder:

I found if you jump toward the top part of that room right off the bat, that you can get 2 of the drones to merge... then it becomes more manageable.
The gold placement is uninspired as well, and the aesthetics were rather generic. The ending had great flow, though.

I

remembered this immediately!

I don't have time to play the map unfortunately but I just wanted to say that the reviewer makes a good point about a hard map being easier to stomach if you die in many different ways.

congratulations Ferox!

I say this because I always look for improvement.

I hate it when people call shit and then don't explain why.
The least enjoyable seeker drone map I've played in ages.

I call bullshit on "you never die in the same way", every close call in this demo saw at least five deaths before I got the demo. :P

Incredible

I loved the way you used the antennae drones, they were challenging but still manageable.
I like how I died over 50 times but never got frustrated, mainly because I never died in the same way, and because it was so fun to dodge those drones.

Oh, and here's an AGD after 57 deaths... :)
