Played much better than it looked

I think that's the only problem with open race maps - they're a bitch to pull off aesthetically. I dont think that either open or enclosed is actually better than the other. Either type can be brilliant when pulled off right, but i think open is the hardest to do that with.

If you're going to continue creating open race maps, just make sure they are aesthetic - it's the hardest part but almost as essential as the flow.

try not to make the theme so restrictive.

i think you need to let loose a bit with the aesthetics while you create the flow, you would be surprised how good you can make it look afterwards. I didn't even start playing around with tiles on the Fury of Ra until after the flow was done, and i think it turned out pretty well, without sacrificing flow for theming.

having said that there were some pretty fun parts in this, so i'll give it a 3.5^. for your next race, try making something a little less open, just so you can play around with the tiles more and experiment. if it doesn't work, by all means go back to open races, but i would like to see a bit more variety :)

Finding the flow was not difficult, but it took be about 30 tries to beat it.

Had troub

finding the flow without your demo. That's a plus, in my opinion.

Original, challenging enough and not too straight-forward.

here's my demo

to prove it's possible and to show the correct route.
