Description Well, I love how this one came out. It's a pretty new style for me and I love it. Unbelievable, I in no way had ATOB in mind while making this, but it came out pretty ATOB-esque. My apologies. Anyway, This was a very light, fun challenge. More gold caches and areas. Just for fun :).
Demos are always lovely.

It's alright.

No problems :). I just wanted people to know I'm an original guy and make original maps and not to judge me because of this.
im also glad that your taking in well and not crying and sniping me now. And trust me, i will be looking at your next map. I may off gone overboard on the comments, but i just had this built up in me for awhile, sorry you had to be the victim...

Also...

Filter, Traction, En route, Stem cells, Pipeline, and many other maps of mine were original! I researched ATOB's maps and found the one that this was "emulating", but really, were any of the others copies? Potato and Pulp were meant to emulate their styles! Really, I hope you don't view me as a "junkie" for good authors. I have my own style, I really do. And this is pretty much the first map that I can recognize as a knock off. Sorry, but I feel that this map caused people to immediately disregard me as an author. Please don't view it that way.

Dude...

Its fine that you have your own opinion.
But honestly! I didn't have him in mind while doing this!
I really really didn't!
I'd really appreciate it if you guys believed me. This is a great community and I don't want to be expelled or hated because I made a map which people think that I ripped off of ATOB when I didn't even try to!
Please... I don't think this is top rated material.
I don't think this is my best map by any measure. It was just meant to be fun!
I don't even know what to do now. Its up to you to believe me, but I can tell you that my next map will be better.
I was looking at the toprated page, and found some nice things. First, i am extremely glad that some other authors are getting recognition such as 99turtle99, -x-, xdude_rox and heartview. Silentdemon of course has his mandatory n-art along with dragonmoon. Then i tried to gather styles. I found out that recently simplicity has dominated it along with cubish type levels. It strange how people always five these levels when they always show up. I used to be guilty of this, but i was just learning to be a good/decent mapmaker. And now i have moved on. I dont think that these maps aren't great, but it seems that original maps wont reach the toprated for more than a day. Fire exit is a great example of escaping this trend, and i personally love it. But, maybe, i dunno, im tired and irritable and see the same damn authors. They are great, no fucking doubt about it, but it seems like they **always** get a 4 or 4.5 rating no matter how original or unoriginal the map is. It would be interesting if Atob or krusch submitted a n00b's first map. What would happen? Would it be an original great map with a 4 or 4.5 or would it get the rating it deserved? Think about. I dont care if yall agree, but i just want you to think about it...
but i wanted to put this picture in a large scale for all of numa to look at, not just you.
but like 9400 and krusch, these maps are complete rip offs of astheoceansblue. I was very impressed that you searched numa and watched good styles and greats. It was very refreshing, but now you've beaten the dead horse and some good mapmakers are getting really pissed off or even envious that n00bs or atob fans are grading you so high.
I cant rate right now cuz im not at home, i would really like to see a map where you just locked yourself in a room and made your "own" maps and style. I personally created a nice tileset style that was working for me, but now, even though my ratings haven't gone down, i think its time to revamp my repetoire. Im not some old jealous guy of a newbie with good talent, im a 15 year old kid pissed off at someone taking credit for stealing styles.
Atob created this style. It is very acceptable to make a mape every once and awhile that reflects someone else's style. But five or six straight maps is pushing it. I still think you are a very good author from your pipeline and next two maps, but i personally think this must change. Numa has gotten to be one dimensional in the types of maps people like. If you look at the top rated, you'll see what im talking about.
I'm sorry if i've pissed the whole community off, just respond. But dont go nuts. Its just my opinion.

Anyways,

Faster completion.

don't take them tooo serious. it's just that every map, from the time it's top rated, only will get negative comments.
And start a more original style.

I'm really sorry.

I didn't want it to turn out unoriginal.
It's not the best map on NUMA by far. I just thought that it was fun and worth a submission. I didn't intend for people to stop liking my maps over this.

fehh

this is ok, but i don't realy like this style or for that mater the object placement. try for somthing better, like what you had in your earlier maps,
maybe you could try restricing what you use (for example only mines and gold) or the tiles. this might help creativity.

Eh...

I say go with a more original style. I'm starting not to like your maps, as they aren't that much different than other author's maps. Try to find a style that isn't so conforming.

First completion!

My only complaint is the downward facing launchpad in the place where the ninja starts. It was quite an annoying one. Other than that, very well made level. Keep up this style!

Here's a completion under 900frames.

But..

This is just unoriginal and unintersting. How could this possibly be seen as the best map on NUMA?

I just don't understand anymore.

nice title

very original

BTW....

Methodic...did you notice that you are the top rated author on Numa??? Noice!!
lol...jk, but check this demo out...

Really good

Clean, and elegant. Some parts are kinda tricky, like getting up to the exit. Which is good. It was well balanced and fun. Great job.

Ha.

Nice name. That alone grants you some points (or not). Darn cool level too.
But...you know this can't go on forever, right? I mean, you have to come up with at least one mediocre map once in a while! lol

You always

Impress me with your ability to make maps! God I love you! This is an example of a nice simple, enjoyable map! Great work my buddy. This obviously deserves a 5!
