Abandoned Nuclear Facilities, Expedition Through an Urban Metropolis, Mountain Climb, Valley, and Blocky Robotics were cool.
The rest of the pack seemed very underdeveloped and unpolished.
And the Rock Cried Out is impossible I'm pretty sure.
Rearden. Metal. is just a tileset.
When the Powerlines Went Out was a cool idea.

all of it together made a very weird and interesting trip. It was cool to go from completely developed map to an impossible map, and then from there a map with only a ninja and a door and then from there to a tileset and back again.
individually these are kind of underdeveloped but it was way cool to play them all in a row. a true 'episodic' experience
The Astronomer's Welcome is my favorite map from that

And the rock cried out-Palemoonish 4/5

Not bad for your first map pack, I might take a look at the expansion too.
*EDIT* I forgot to mention, the episodes were WAY too short

Pack was nice, others before me said what needed to be said.
Extension was good but short. :/
Botanic Garden is also incomplete. But I like Vineclimber. Nice and flowy.

I really like the idea for this poll. It goes well with presenting a pack.

Well, thanks everyone, especially Z3phyr for their feedback
I am not editing this one,as it will make life too confusing
however, I may come out with a second edition, featuring the best (as voted) from this pack, some personal favorites (all the kinks will be straightened out) and extra levels, including the extension
My latest map, 'Diamonds. Kill.' will also be added to probably the first episode
It can be found here:

I cant acess NUMA for some reason, so i cant really look at your latest map.
Looking forward to getting back to my pc and getting back into NUMA
