Description I was going to put some enemies in but I thought this might be better without them.

If you rate without playing than you can go suck some Koch [mathworld.wolfram.com].

(BTW the word Koch is funny because even though it looks like a snowflake it sounds like penis)

He disappeared, suddenly and without warning. The same mystery with which he lived in this community, the same mystery that lay behind his clever maps and innovative concepts: genuine, smart, and completely fresh after almost a decade of mapping. Mathematics, patterns, vectors, fractals, curves; transcendent beauty in the form of maps.

Mystery in spurts.

He was a fashion, a resurgence of innovation, a pillar of brilliance in his short but intense time here. I choose a map that properly represents his essence, but I recommend a carefree promenade around his back catalog.

I really miss you, friend. — zoasBE

First try AGD

The way you made this playable and all-gold-able is amazing too. Great map! :)

I love the review

Eto is a good friend and awesome under any name, and you absolutely do him justice :)

I deserve to be burned at the stake!

Ay

Zoas, if you still want to believe that Kaprekar is Traveleravi, fine, but please don't state it like it's fact.

it looks pretty spiffy but AGD is a chore

Congrats on the future, Ravi!
very cool map, the oneways confuse me

dude

Kaprekar is not one of his identities :|

very cool revi-

hey i had no idea kaprekar also was one of his identities

By the way, the review was proofread by Aidiera, I'm starting to love to you too! Thanks, bro!

And with his "back catalog" I mean not only this account (Traveleravi) but also his other project accounts:

elhombredelsombrero [nmaps.net]
~n~ [nmaps.net]
Etothetaui [nmaps.net]
Leonhard [nmaps.net]
Kaprekar [nmaps.net]

And still some other mysterious projects and things that you should find if you are quite interested and you're a ETOLOVER like me... :P He was, seriously, pure innovation, and collabing with him and working together with some of his ideas was always a fantastic experience. Thanks!

also 5aved this, good job. nothing to say here, maybe the exit switch could have been done better but who knows, GG

hey

INSERT_maxson924_text_here

beat you :P

This looks cool.

I have absolutely no critique in that regard. But in terms of gameplay, this is simply... boring. I certainly don't have anything against mines-only (or not even those!) maps, but I don't think it worked here. There wasn't any particular part that I disliked, it's just boring as a whole. The symmetry didn't help in that regard. Maybe something like a laser drone would provide more excitement, and also render the symmetry irrelevant because the beams would presumably trigger at different points on each side.

Since it looks so good and the gameplay wasn't awful, I can give 3.

...fastest AGD so far and is still improvable because there was one major mess up...

*Travele Ravi, sorry :P

Holy Crap

You guys are awesome.

Traveler Ravi

You? O_o .. Traveler.avi?

Cool! Thank you.

Not to be confused with the city: Kochi in the south of India cool map by the way. o_O
I wanted a whole map from you, but hey! Still really awesome!
There is the final object-set (I think) for that map, all the gold it's totally possible, and i like the bit differences with this original one.

You can put there the tiles at top following that figure/progression like on this map? Keep in mind that the 'line' it's a bit offset and asymmetrical, so in the tiles at top do the same. Thank you. ;)

HOW DARE YOU QUESTION THE QUALITY OF MY MAPS!

JK Thanks lfaber. And don't worry I like your humor.
HAHAHA. I'm joking. You're getting A TONS BETTER. LIKE, A LOT.
5/5
;D
oh and if you don't like my cruel humor, please tell me; I have normal humor too. (and it's exceptional)
XD

Trave,

This one have a lot of feedback because it's freaking cool! I want a map from you like this for the third MOSS column! You can?

Holy crap

this map did better than I thought it would. It does have a fractal look because I made it look like a part of a koch snowflake a kinda famous fractal

Nice fractal look

the play is a bit clunky because of the one ways.Might demo it

True.

you will never reach these highs

clap clap

well played gentleman

I mean for my pleasure watching you mourn at a corner, Jeremoon.

just a casual AGD

sub2000. Pretty decent and clean run, but still there is a room for improvements. Really like this map as I've said before. Not only the math-ish aesthetics, if not the feel dancing between these mines and the feel with those squared one-ways. Really cool to do a training for a precise movements, and think and plan as cutting unnecessary movements.
Great job Traveleravi, make more like this.
