Lights, Camera, Action!

These Balloons are Useless!! has all the makings of a killer action movie. Adrenaline-fueled chases and heart-stopping close calls with death as the hero charges headfirst through fiery explosions. The frantic and exciting pace is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat.

One of my favorite levels of all time.

agd.

kind of fun, but the rockets I found unnecessary. 4.

And then a boring pseudo mine-jumper? Each part felt a bit awkward, and the map as a whole was very fragmented, short and gimmicky.

cool

beans

ooh

I didn't realize they were rockets since I play with my sound off, but the title makes a lot more sense now that I can hear it. And here is a faster agd

Awesome

perpendicular jump got annoying though :/

it makes the map

put sum snipers in dem caves.

i think

the rockets represent popping balloons

Nice map

Cool theming, good features, but there was an unfriendly clash between the two sections imo. 4

oh yeah,

the guy who told me to stop making maps.
whatever, dood.
nice mine arc.
To see this phenomenon in action, look at Abhor the Mountain by Yahoozy.

hm

I quite liked the change in pace in the second half. Everyone prefers different things, I guess.

Also, the bounceblock-mine combination was cool.

Mintnut is right,

in that the map dies in the second half.

Hmm

It's a very interesting feature. But the map seems to die halfway through and just give up trying to hinder you at all.

Also, is it just me, or is the laser drone laughably slow to react to your presence?

Faster AGD
