This is the first map from my map pack Changing Faces. kkstrong liked it /a lot/ so I decided to throw it up here.

This map was featured on 2010-06-23

"What is the best map you have ever played?"
" 'down, down... UP!' by rocket_thumped"

This map has it all: beauty, highscoreability, form and function. Aesthetically, it is flawless. It has the best minimalism you will ever come across, and it is the perfect difficulty. It has the possibility for several routes, each varying in complexity. The mine placement is perfect, where it allows for perfect structure, yet inhibits to the perfect degree. The gold placement is equally perfect, just over the ledge is ideal in this type of map. I guarantee you won’t find a better map than this. — cucumber_boy

Absolutes are almost always bad, and hyperbole isn't much better, especially when it is a matter of opinion. When there are more that 200 thousand maps out there, saying that one is the best and stating it like it's a fact is just untenable.

That said, I did actually enjoy the map.

bit faster :)

yep

this was one of my shortlisted feature maps - it's a good action/puzzle crossover. Ironically though, rocket_thumped removed my reviewing rights!

"The mine placement is perfect, where it allows for perfect structure,"
^---what does this mean? what "structure" are the maps allowing? what does "structure" even mean here? why is the placement of the mine and the "structure" of the mines different? why is this review so bad?

oh well. this reminds me of shadow over khafre
when you put it in the context of an opinion that everyone else should hold. You /still/ couldn't sell it to me, either. Maybe throw in a free car?
There are many absolutes though.

Great map!

It's imposing and calm. Jerrod knows how to make a map.

it just felt like the review almost set it up for failure with its definitive praise

Hmm... Well...

It's fun. And replayable.

Yeah, lol at me. 4aved.
and hyperbole in your reviews, it's just annoying to read.

I don't know...

Nothing special imo.

I quite like this

Especially the floorguards

The sprawling single-shape maps generally tend not to be my bag, but this was pretty sweet.

<3 this

lol idk what I was thinking near the end

Great map.

This is a great example of how a map doesn't have to be difficult or complex to be fun.

Oh... =(

Doing it wrong!
