Description I think it is. After yungerkid's amazing race that he made, and then da_man894's race, and then flagmydol's race, and magicrocker's race, I decided to step up my game. Tell me what you think.

Tied with your best, yungerkid.

hehehe

still tied. :/ i just don't spend as much time in ned as i should.
See if you like it.

It's good

but i do agree to some extent with atob

i think you now have a good enough grasp of flow to mix it up a bit ^^ - make something abstract (like about epigones races, perhaps?)

Demo Data

A safe race

It's a decent race map, but doesn't really have anything "great" about it. 3.5/5

yungerkid

I'm aiming for 20. :P

actually, flag,

by loopy, they're referring to the loopiness of the path, not of the tileset. and riobe, looks like this map is your parallel to Innocence ;) 19 rates and around my 47 comments. nice job!

unless of course

by loopy they just mean too generic, too much of a preordained path, etc...

well thankyou

i did too, if you'll forgive my lack of humility

but it was really railed at. cheesepuffs called it 'too loopy', dunno where that came from...

i disagree with atob and da-man that yours is too loopy as well. the jagged look turns what would have been a loopy race into something quite different.

The

endurance one. I mean, it's better than 75% of the so called "races" on NUMA. :)

in your description

Huh?

I don't understand.

hi

which one of mine were you talking about? none of them have gotten any good press lately.

lol

Wish it had as much rates as comments. C:

Ok

Shoulda made it longer and made it less loopy. Got it.

I like the tileset,

but the flow was rather ordinary and it was very short.

lol

No demo?

BAH

I like it and to me, this is a step forward. 5/5

I think the gold placement could of been done better, 'I would of taken out the gold that is partway in the tiles

(death demo)

Just felt

a little hectic, that's all. Calmed now. *yawn*

I did rate. But ratings are meaningless get your mind around that. Chill.

Again

you just tell me it's unique without telling me what's unique about it. That's the part I'm interested in.

actually

I usually say what I DON'T like, as that's usually much easier for me :3

Anything I don't mention is usually stuff I like.
but I was a little preoccupied in saying how this is unique. But here are what I liked:

Although the tileset doesn't look flowy, it is. I also liked the oneways. I always seem to like oneways :3

The downsides have to be the lack of any real danger in the enemies, and the extreme shortness of the race. I think you could have easily milked a few hundred more frames with this tileset.

But its unique, and I'm tired of all the boring races recently, so its a 4/5
There's no need to be pedantic about it ;p
What he meant to say is, the consensus views this map as better than most.
Ratings are nothing personal (at least I hope not, at least not anymore. I don't think there's been too many snipers lately).

I know

lol. That makes me feel good. :D

3

= Above average.

Means the consensus views you as better than most.

Damn

Down to a 3. Well, that's life, I guess.

exactly, atob.

people shouldn't just say "good" or "bad", they should tell specifically what was good or bad about the thing.

bleh

there is no .5s

#see

I just wish you guys would back up your praise with some details. I'd like to know exactly why you consider a map (any map) unique, flawless etc...

It would help, is all :)

Thanks everyone.

Appreciated. =)
I really liked it and its funky flow. :) ATOB - at least it is more unique than the other races... bye a lot! Give it some credit, man :| 4/5

Ahah!

That one is much more like it, imo.

The gameplay's a little too awkward for my tastes, but I certainly like the thinking.

Yes

But still, you two have a good point.

Riobe

If you're happy making these, then just carry on. You don't *have* to take our advice. There seems to be plenty of people here who love playing your maps and will continue to do so.

I'm just trying to inspire a little colour; sorry if I seem too pushy about it, I do tend to get carried away sometimes ;)

Yeah, yeah

Bland, generic, all terms I've heard before and am still trying to change completely.
It's very bland and generic.

It looks nice (imo)

when you consider it separately, but the overall style is so generic it makes it seem very bland.

It does?

I thought it looked good...
