Map Data

Description Another action puzzler which I worked quite a lot on. It contains a number of small sections most of which have a little trick. The level gets easier from the opening of the doors leading up on the right, partly because I did not want to make the map too long and I also thought that if you get up there you deserve the rest to be less evilly crafted.

Please rate and do comment on how you liked the level, are you satisfied with the overall difficulty, tileset, . What may arise as a negative point is that the middle bottom section is quite empty, which was my concept from the start to leave space for the gauss and the laser drone, and also to make an impression of the Scottish highlands (though that is less of an achievable task I guess :).

Good Level. It was hard to get everything right for the demo, but not as hard as the one I made for Expert's Challenge.
Nice Job.

good demo

must of been grueling.

Completion demo

I see your point coldcut, I will again make a lite version, changing the most problematic parts.

Here's a demo though.

Chaotix!

Go put on a skirt you bagpipe playin pansy, and stop stealing r' drinking songs!

O and Adam, no the map is not too easy. It's way too hard. And as proof no one has submitted a demo so far. And I doubt very much to see one. I admit I didn't play much of the map, running around trying to outrace thwumps doesn't appeal to me

Re:

Okay, it's all good then. It just got pretty annoying and it really did seem like some people rated highly in return just because you did. Maybe we drew conclusions a bit too quickly. Oh, and astro's exaggerating when he says we hate you with a burning passion. Just a little misunderstanding. All is forgiven. BTW, very well-crafted map. 4/5

Before I say anything else, I will make an apology and say that I will not ask for ratings from now on.

On another note, however, I do not feel that I have behaved in a way that did not let any of those who you mention to be "hating me with a burning passion" without coming to me and telling me your problem before attaching a wave of anger or hate to it. I do not think that I was or am the archetypal arrogant noob who shouts and curses at everyone who comes with a helping hand.
I thought that the way I have expressed myself with my levels and my comments here and on the forum would allow me to receive some kind of polite or even friendly comment if I was doing something that the community or a part of the community did not like. In this case however I was let to do what I did not think was wrong until I got two cases of notification that I am already damned and hated by the community, and that does not leave me with a positive feeling as I do not feel I deserve this.

On my rating habits: If you look at what I have voted and commented on other maps, you will see that I do not vote under 3.0, that is because I do not vote on levels I find to be below that quality. On the other hand, I admit that my voting is not consistent and maybe sometimes I give too high a vote (in the case you mention, yes, 4.5 is too high, mea culpa), but how I vote changes according to my mood and if I like a level I give a good vote. I happened to like that level and I gave a high vote. Yes, it was too high, but that is an opinion that is open to discussion.
My aim is not to lick the boots of others to receive appraisal. I have been making levels and addons for games since I was a small child and thanks to this community this is the first time I am able to get some feedback. No wonder I asked for it because I am highly dependent on what others think. That may be a flaw in me, but I work that way.

Bottom line, I won't be asking for ratings, but I really would have appreciated if someone would have come to me either on the forum, either in e-mail, either in comments to my maps before you/they started "hating me with a burning passion". As a human being I think I would have deserved that.
The bottom right wasn't very appealing, the rest was pretty much good, but a *little* too much gold :\
I'd give it a 3.75 if I could but that rounds to a 4.

On the other hand, Adam, will you pretty please stop asking people to rate your maps in your comments? It's getting annoying and is just the same as advertisement. Also, rating bad maps high doesn't mean you'll get high rates in return. You'll just get a ****load of retaliation from people. You shouldn't care much about ratings. Ratings don't indicate ANYTHING. I didn't quite appreciate you rating THIS http://numa.notdot.net/map/16327 map a 4.5. There's many more examples. And because of that, we the people on IRC hate you with a burning passion. Honestly.
Would you quite appreciate someone filling your favorite map's comment space with a bunch of advertising? Would you like to watch your favorite movie only to be disrupted by commercials? Probably not.


Please stop, I and other people can't quite stand it any more.

Scotland Rules

Ireland Sucks

Lol, well I've said my piece on that matter, great map Adam, heh and you wanted more ratings. Go Go Gadet 4/5

nice

I could do quite a few tricks on this one 4/5!!

Re:

Last time I made an almost impossible level so I thought now I'd start by toning it down a little, maybe I went too far in that :)

nice

fairly good... could be a bit more challenging though.

dc443: Thank you.
MUSLIMAN: Any suggestions as to how?

very good

doesnt look impressive at first but very playable.
