Map Data
Description I'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe me,
They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely.
I'd show them the stars and the meaning of life.
They'd shut me away.
But I'd be alright, alright,
I'd be alright,
I'm alright.

I'd tell all my friends about the beauty of this map but they'd never believe me. The tiles offer hints of flow and connection while the object placement offers clues as to which way to go. After experimenting for a good 15 minutes, trial and error after error after error led me to the route for this map and increased the gameplay tenfold.

Because we rely a lot on demos for races these days, I'd suggest playing this map without looking at one. The end result of finishing this race is worth every minute of avid discovery. — origami_alligator

the pure lenght of this race deserves a high rating, but the perfect use of open space and the super-smooth flow put the lid on it.

That said it looks really ugly. But who cares? 5.

Agh.

I've told myself twenty-odd times now that this will be the last time before I go to bed that I play this map. Hasn't worked. But wow. This map is AWESOME fun. Definite 5/5aved from me. I love it. Wicked use of space and objects, it's like playing three different maps with the same tiles.

i like

how you can mess up and still keep going with the flow

Awesome.

I like how the tiles are used only when they are needed, and not for aesthetics. I hate when there's a little hole in the wall...

ah yes

always loved this one.

but, as usual, i have a complaint. if a 'loopy' race is featured why not a MARIJNENANDRIES race? he STILL has no features.

I accidentally did a loop with the top-right once.

Not bad, the use of space was great.

Wow. Flowy to the max.

I love the fact that if you miss the top right loop, the track actually takes you back there, as if to tell you that you missed a bit. Class design.

Pretty much amazing.

I love how you used all the space in such a great way. I feel like the ninja really explores the entire map fully and that danger is ever-present but never overwhelming.
