This is amazing
Somebody actually read the manual before asking how to make a map. :D

Welcome to NUMA!
Have fun.
Laser drone spam is annoying. There are very rare moments that you should need four laser drones, because one usually accomplishes enough. (They don't have to necessarily kill the ninja as much as block certain parts off so the ninja can't backtrack/maneuver.)
The locked doors completely surrounding the exit door is a huge newbie mistake. Not only is it very aesthetically displeasing, but it's also unneeded. You should try and limit blocking off areas with locked doors to one - maybe two - doors. For example, instead of locking off the exit door, perhaps you could have swapped the exit switch with the lock switches, then block off the exit switch with a single door.
The rocket's placement was rather bland - it's quite easy to completely avoid him for the entire map by starting with going left - which is the best route anyway to avoid the laser drones. It's rendered almost useless for the entire game. It's better to give rockets a more global view if they're in an open space. For example, taking the laser drones down to one, swapping the rocket launcher with the laser drone, then trapping the laser drone to one tile with a direct shot through the doors would have been a very nifty way to handle it, especially if you removed the doors.
The tileset was simple and clean, and the areas between the arrows were nicely set up. You seem to already have a solid grasp of /not spamming the hell/ out of mines (which is more than I knew with my first map, haha) and you even made a nice jumping segment with the use of very few mines.
Having to jump for the exit door switch was pretty tricky - you should consider trying out a rocket instead of the laser drones there, so that the player can't just wait for the laser drones to move out of the way.
Overall, it wasn't terrible, especially for a first map. I'd like to see some more from you, really. Welcome to NUMA. =)

Very nice :)
I like the trickiness in getting the two sections of gold with mines. Could have had the rocket a bit more involved though maybe, and you probably don't need that many laser drones.
AGD, pretty slow really.
