Description I'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe me,
They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely.
I'd show them the stars and the meaning of life.
They'd shut me away.
But I'd be alright, alright,
I'd be alright,
I'm alright.

I'd tell all my friends about the beauty of this map but they'd never believe me. The tiles offer hints of flow and connection while the object placement offers clues as to which way to go. After experimenting for a good 15 minutes, trial and error after error after error led me to the route for this map and increased the gameplay tenfold.

Because we rely a lot on demos for races these days, I'd suggest playing this map without looking at one. The end result of finishing this race is worth every minute of avid discovery. — origami_alligator

Completed for the first time (since long long ago) as I listened to the song for the first time.
One of the first maps I remember enjoying.
This is why n will always be my favorite game.

Classic

old school awesomeness. They just don't make them like this anymore.

Still

Awesome.
With a capital A

the pure lenght of this race deserves a high rating, but the perfect use of open space and the super-smooth flow put the lid on it.

That said it looks really ugly. But who cares? 5.

OMG

smoothest race EVER!!!! 6/5!!!

what can i say?

5aved

soooooooooooo

close!
Demo Data

Demo Data

Demo Data

Chek out the demo

5/5aved
Demo Data

love

the use of space
it seems pretty much all of it was used
skipped a lot of it
Demo Data

Agh.

I've told myself twenty-odd times now that this will be the last time before I go to bed that I play this map. Hasn't worked. But wow. This map is AWESOME fun. Definite 5/5aved from me. I love it. Wicked use of space and objects, it's like playing three different maps with the same tiles.

i like

how you can mess up and still keep going with the flow

Awesome.

I like how the tiles are used only when they are needed, and not for aesthetics. I hate when there's a little hole in the wall...
excellent. It WAS ugly, though.

ah yes

always loved this one.

but, as usual, i have a complaint. if a 'loopy' race is featured why not a MARIJNENANDRIES race? he STILL has no features.

returning to this

wow. this is brilliant, it may be a bit loopy and whatever, but you've pulled it off to well for me to care. 5.
Demo Data
Very fun.
Demo Data
Loved the multiple paths, use of one ways is brilliant.
4.5^

wow

wow i got addicted even though it was like watching a replay tape of me constantly dying. but unlike other levels where i constantly die, i liked it. strangely enough, thats a 5.
Best race map (in fact, best map) I've ever played. I'm favouriting this.
Demo Data

skipped a bit

of the level in the demo. AWESOMEAWESOMEAWESOMEAWESOMEAWESOMEAWESOMEAWESOMEAWESOME etc... 5555/5
Demo Data

Wow...

best flowing race I've ever played. 5aved.

awesome

flying through the air
Demo Data

yungerkid is laffs

i chuckled.

First try AGD.

I accidentally did a loop with the top-right once.

Not bad, the use of space was great.
Demo Data

so did i

but that was years ago

I missed somethig,

didn't I?
Demo Data

very long

always fun. 5
Still full of greatness.
this was fantastic, 5/5 from me. Also, good song (Great while stoned).

5aved

I love that the flow comes out of nowhere

I noticed that too

That's so original.
I love the fact that if you miss the top right loop, the track actually takes you back there, as if to tell you that you missed a bit. Class design.

wow

i thought i had beaten it, but i didnt :(

Excellent

Great flow, fast pace, good number of enemies, overall great race. 5aved.
Demo Data
I love how you used all the space in such a great way. I feel like the ninja really explores the entire map fully and that danger is ever-present but never overwhelming.

Faster
