Rate, comment and enjoy!

It was enjoyable. Not bad for your first DDA. Experiment with different forms of propulsion if you can.

Not bad at all.

hey!

nice dda, really. But yeah, blue_rocks said it already - the main aims of dda. Considering I can't make a single dda, I'll put 5 here, as it's really nicely done!
It makes me feel really good by seeing people taking interest in DDAs.
Check out my maps, I submit only DDAs, mostly CTRDDAs (Chase The Rocket DDAs). Got 2 maps featured from the 14 DDAs I subbed.
You did the first thing right, which is needed for a DDA: making DDA in good enough space and not in a small box or confined area.
Lanchpads are good, but they are pretty easy to use, that is why they should be avoided; so as to grow as a DDA artist. You could use tons of other propulsions like trapdoors, normal door with locked door, only locked door, gold and bounce block (not accounted in gold delay methods), glitched tiles, gold with normal doors, gold with thwump, retreating thwump, corners of thwumps etc. Check out my maps or check out the DDAs of legendary DDA artists like:
1211 [nmaps.net]
Wizard2 [nmaps.net]
Clifty [nmaps.net]
Life247 [nmaps.net]

Do reply me on my Post A Commet [nmaps.net] map! :)

I don't mind gold delay unless it is excessive. Keeping rockets alive is a sub genre of DDA and isn't necessary. Thwumps are cool but not necessary either. Rockets and launchpads are a good place to start. I enjoyed watching this. 4/5

Speed run ;)

Hey :D

Thanks for your comment!
I see a nice starter dda, but it's 1:51am here and I'm barely awake.
I'll definitely check it out tomorrow, okay?

People here on this site have a very particular taste in DDA maps - they like thwumps, no use of gold delay, and keeping rockets alive.. usually.

I, for one, really enjoyed this one though! To improve it you could switch it up a bit more, instead of constantly using the same style of propulsion (Launch pad) you could use something else! Good job though! Make it more visually appealing too
