Map Data

Description Tell me - is this map fun? Interesting? Hint: Hit the switches from left to right, AT THE CORRECT TIMES. Too EARLY or too LATE and you LOSE. GOOD DAY SIR.

I think the top part looks really pretty, and I am very proud as to how damn well I made the bottom part work -- it should be absolutely perfect and foolproof and beautiful and I did it all with exactly 3 doors for each drone detour.

By the way, fair warning: the drones will come back if you spend too much time messing around after you've safely evacuated them :)


note - please try to press the button when the drones are up inside the bounce blocks, which are there such that the drones' position is a little more clear in your peripheral vision. if you press the button very close to too early or very close to too late, one can slip through while the other is detoured, thus creating an unfortunate situation.

Concur.

I agree with all of you - I will definitely re-explore this concept but in a more interesting way when I get to it.
I was mostly worried the timing was too FAST at first, so I added a lot of extra time for the player to hit the switch in.

Thanks for all the feedback :)

Great concept.

This map could be improved a lot though. Or you could make another map but better based on this concept.

Interesting idea

Kinda agree with bufar though... the cheatableness if fine (must people will try to play this kind of thing correctly, i think). still good stuff

Sorry if I answered a question that was not the same as your question xD
by simply adding a well-placed mine in the button room...

I just didn't want to cause possible deaths in there :( So maybe some more one-ways blocking off the 'around the drones' path.

lachyboy ---> You have to copy everything in 'Map Data' into your userlevels.txt :)

Good job! i want to add this map to my user levels, as i think the concept is fantastic, and you pulled it off well, by i don't know how to add levels. can you help?

It's a great concept, but it gets a little boring waiting for the drones. Also, it definitely is cheatable, I just don't have the time to pull it off right now. Just add a third drone and you should be set. Maybe a fourth just in case, but I doubt anyone could time it that perfectly.
It's probably possible - but totally uncool >:o

If you manage to do it though I'll have to quickly make a fix for it.

Gimme some feedback :)
