Thanks guys. This is a rare time I've come back to something I've done and I'm still happy with it, glad you've enjoyed it too.

Fresh! (Not really)
Complex! (Not always)
Magical! (Impossible but I'm just saying)

Great work atob. I love all of them better than none of them. :)

Those were nice, I had them uploaded into my userlevels too, just never had that time, until today.

Gargoyle two-step was really fun.

Diversity and dynamic of play between maps is the one thing I'm really proud of with this pack. Did you actually play through them all properly?

http://nmaps.net/user/notkitt · Postby **notsteve** » 2008.11.16 (14:10)

yeah, i all golded about half]
it wasnt so much how they played but the fact they all looked the same
i dont really know how to explain it, but i got that feeling of repetition a lot

That's weird, for me the look is just as diverse than the play (it was a real conscious effort in the design process). Fair enough, though.

Dude, if diversity were strawberries, everyone who played this pack would be drinking smoothies.

That's the best analogy since "I have no pie." I said it on the old forums, and I'll say it again here: excellent pack, atob. Every map is fantastic.

Edit: To be honest, I saw that you had the last post here and thought, "OMG SUNSHINEscience BONUS EPISODES!" ;)

I had around three episodes worth of surplus maps from the SS sessions, but they I forgot to back them up when I reinstalled windows a few weeks ago. I've got a couple of them stuck in my head, plus I've a few ideas for some simple edits here and there. I might release a special edition at some point if I can think of enough to do to make it worth it.

Thanks for the comments, all of you.

I downloaded this pack a week ago, and put it in my userlevels. Didn't post, cause I was in awe at how good it was. I'm still in awe...

Two thumbs up!

Im guessing that this is the secret you were talking about when I stole your design. I can see why you wanted to keep it low profile. This is amazing! So many sexy maps in one pack.

The best levels I've ever played by a single author in a long, long time. Fantastic work, atob.

Pretty diverse, from what I've played so far, but how come the numbers are in the order they are in?
