Advice...

People often complain about non-obvious flow in races :/... Sadly that is mostly, because they have no imagination, aren't experienced in race-playing, or are just too lazy, to play the map a little longer when they don't see the flow right at the beginning... Such a shame :S...

However, the flow is pretty nice, especially for a first race, but it should be a little more obvious... That can be done by using more tiles which limit the area in which the flow could be - or by using gold which shows the flow path... You should always post a flow demo, if its a race, that reduces confusion...

Some enemies which come near to you, but don't really kill you ("close calls") are always good, too, and gold delay in races should be generally avoided... hmm... You could work a little on aesthetics (more tiles can help here, too!^^ ).

... Also, that mine which killed me at the end sucks. >.<
... But don't be mislead by all those improvement possibilities, this is pretty good for a first. :]

tend to have an intuitive flow... This map just seems to be a mine avoiding map. I have never made a race so I can't give much advice to improve this. From a player standpoint though, that first big drop is really good, but after that it doesn't really race for me.
