Description *READ BEFORE PLAYING/VOTING/COMMENTING* (especially the second part)

Sort of a race. It's a race in that you have to complete it within ~33 seconds, due to the Psy-Turret (courtesy of Evil__). It's mainly a platformer though, but you have to go fast. As with some of my other maps, while I have a fairly large amount of mines, they are very largely just used as boundaries. I designed the course so that it should take you approximately 33 seconds, give or take. I have playtested it; the tile on the far left requires speed to get past. Essentially I just wanted to make a timed level using the Psy-Turret, so I threw some things together and fine-tuned it to make it fun.

EDIT: There seems to be a bit of confusion about this map. The point is to complete it before the "psy-turret" targets you. The "psy turret" is a turret, located miles off of the screen, that takes approximately 33 seconds to reach you, no matter where you are on the screen. If it shoots, anywhere, you die immediately; so complete the level quickly. I credited Evil__; http://numa.notdot.net/map/31016 . Seeing as I credited him and all (and he said that was okay), it would probably be wise to look that up before making any rash decisions. The Psy-Turret is that which you "have no f'ing clue where that gauss is shooting from." It's that gauss. You shouldn't see it, or you should only see it right before completing it,otherwise you're too slow.

But Nice Concept ... I'm Fairly New To N, And Was Wondering If You Could Critique / Demo My Maps :P

so you mean that the "psy-turrent" can shoot through the map? 4/5

Hmm

Evidently it doesn't work the same in userlevels...

Cool!

That is a really cool concept!!! I did it with like four or five seconds to spare!!!

Really cool map man!! 4/5

Lawl

Awesome demo, TBP. That was very enjoyable.

Ha! i did it!

This demo cuts it REALLY close. I was only on the exit for three frames before the thing shot.

Very cool concept though! Not quite a race. Experimental, perhaps?

...Yeah...

WTF is a psy-turret O_o
The part at the end is somewhat frustrating; I have no f'ing clue where that gauss is shooting from and it just feels kooky.

Psy-Turret?

...wtf is that?
