just finished 'em all. it was alright. you've made better. they weren't inspired enough; nothing jumped out at me. looking forward to future bonuses though.

Played them all, were pretty cool, much like your last batch. Pretty awesome mostly, although a few duff ones.

On an unrelated note, I love your sig :P

While I appreciate the experimental nature, it felt to me that you were sacrificing gameplay for avant-garde a lot of the time and sometimes to the point of pretentiousness. A lot of the gameplay was far too awkward for my tastes too.

Some excellent moments though. I really enjoyed 'sturdy mylar tubing' and 'be scared_be very scared'. The rest I just couldn't get on with.

ok, ok. i dislike huge paragraphs so i just summed up some stuff

00: standard addictedancestor fare, with some cool tilework. a cool intro.
01: this is really cool. a sequel to 'rawanda' and with a cool difficulty regarding the AGD.
02: the single laser was used really well in parts, but i thought other times it was kind of a pain in the ass. this is still a really cool level, however
03: drones! i thought this was chaotic and sometimes cool, but it was a little difficult to move around in the sides.
04: woa,addictedancestor weirdness. this is a totally bizarre map, from the lack of anything deadly in the beginning, to the near-impossible jump needed for the switch. very cool.
05: i didn't especially like this one, the rockets seemed to get in the way too much.
06: interesting. i liked the sparse enemy placement
07: again, very strange. it was very difficult for me to jump up faster than the chaingunner, but maybe i am doing it wrong.
08: i played this before. it's ok, but i thought it was not very engaging.
09: typical barebones tileset and artful arrangement of bounceblocks. I could tell you made this from a mile away.
10: the lack of agressive hazards makes this really relaxing and cool to play. i liked the cross of trapdoors, too. very neat.
11: the way you name maps is really awesome. i liked this one.
12: not my favorite. the mines were too restrictive.
13: a really huge map, for you. it was a little bland but still a relaxing playthrough,
14: COOL GOLD.
15: the drone train was cool looking.
16: kind of bland, but still fun
17: very difficult, but it's cool how 16 and 17 kind of link together
18: one of my favorites from this pack. very cool chaingun manipulation, and the text was cool.
19: holy cow, was not expecting the lasers. the rocket part was slightly irritating, but overall it was an ok map.
20: holy cow, was not expecting one million rockets. this one is cool
21: this is very addictedancestor, in my opinion. i found it really hard to move around the bounceblocks, but this map drips with your style. very cool.
22: another one of my favorites. Just so cool
23: interesting. i liked this a lot, but it was a little confusing because i can never tell witch way the luanchpads are facing.
24: possibly my favorite level from you. very neat.
25: cool map, but the gauss was a little opressive, making it hard to jump into the spaceship cockpit.
26: i'm not a fan of intense dronepathing maps like this, but it was done in a very cool way. having a wall of squirming drones coming toward you was INTENSE.
27: kind of awkward and a little too difficult
28: it looks cool and all, but it got a little bland when all the rockets merged together. all gold was kind of tedious :0
29: Okay i lied, this is actually my favorite map from you, ever. good work son
30: not very enjoyable, but still an interesting little playthrough
31: i'm running out of things to say, so sorry. but this one was cool too. Just another map from you, really. you do a good job of keeping a standard of gameplay
32: I'm not very big into thwumps, so i didn't play this map much past the beginning :/ it was just too confusing and all
33: the rockets killed me, an assload. right at the top of the tree, and i couldn't get past it :(
34: brings back terrifying memories of Bricklayer, by Brickman. oh, god. i don't really like thwumps :(
35: the drone and switch was really cool. the gold was difficult. the two rockets were interesting.
36: ha, ha. i like this one. the rockets never felt too claustrophobic, and the map was very open.
37: didn't like the rocket. the rest of the map was pretty fun.
38: it was ok, but hard to play, in my opinion.
39: i like this one. you did a good job on it

overall, this was way cool. perfect for someone needing an AA fix. keep mapping, dude!

This is like going on a merry-go-round. On one side it's exciting and fin and on the other it's dull and boring. Could be improved but a few fun levels there. Keeo up the good work!

I'd just like to point out that merry-go-rounds have no other side.

The mappack was good, but many maps were very pretentious. My favorite was open air bunker battle for it's addictiveness, I got 113.45 I think.

  • [007] when you go to africa, coming back is more thrilling >> Ah, good map. The top gold is a bit tricky with the chaingun, but it felt great to win.
  • [008] the four towers of babylon >> Hmmmm, atmospheric, but the gauss suck. I would have prefered lasers.
  • [009] young shin >> Duuuuumb.

  • [023] spanish armada >> Lovely gold pattern.
  • [024] there are only a few hours left >> I remember this from NUMA.
  • [025] secret underground martian spaceship >> Meh, not that great.
  • [026] blue green battefield >> Also on NUMA. Cool map.
  • [027] a little bit of fun >> I hate gauss in cramped spaces.
  • [028] unknown faithful triad >> Good but not fun enough to highscore on.
  • [029] open air bunker battle >> Great one on NUMA.
  • [030] iSight a bucket full of cheese >> Weird, but the gold is fun to collect.
  • [031] S5 homeward catwalk >> Clusterfuck.
  • [032] forget the gimmicks, i want some attitude >> The beginning is so mean of you.
  • [033] fernest walker >> Hmmmm, you made it too hard.
  • [034] this is where it gets harder >> This would have been a perfect rocket/mine map.

  • [036] flyingfish >> Hard as balls.
  • [037] i may as well be a social commentator >> Laser didn't fit in.
