this is just fantastic. I haven't played all of the levels yet, but after skipping around and checking most of them out i can say that Graveyard Girl (REMIX) is possibly my most favorite one!
i'll post again when i have played/beaten them :)

Christ. This is spectacular. Imo, you should slowly trickle these into NUMA. They're too good for everyone else to miss out on.

Ace maps, man.
I had totally forgotten about our collab. It was even better the second time around.
Also, the collab with SkyPanda was great.

whoah, 99 maps!
Down to the loaded! I'll play in between studying heh
okay, played them all at least once. These are great, dude. You've gotten so good at this mapamaking thing. Tbh I didn't much like the remix of arc tick, but that's mainly because I kept dying :P
favouritos:
rocks float in silence - interesting use of lasers
overgrown/crowded - clean fun
TNAHSIN - cool name, cool map
a cage match with DNKM - clever idea
breaking and dissolving, shining - oh man this was hot
hajnal - so pretty

Beautiful pack. Pretty much every level was amazing. I can really see how much effort was put into this.
A+
Favorites:
the journey home - a looming tower ~ Interesting tiles, exciting gameplay
Alien Invasion AKA Midwest Abduction ~ gausses were a little dominating however the tiles were amazing
Structurally Sound - Everything about it was cool
Cure and the Catastrophe - wicked gameplay, tiles looked like something I'd make
Embrace the Toxins REMIX - loved the object placement (XDXDXD), tiles made it look really cool
Peacebone - <3
Graveyard Girl REMIX - Great everything!
Hiking Upside-Down - Very cool concepts, nice atmosphere
----
Excellent.

I'm not through playing this yet, but everything here is absolutely stellar. Great atmosphere, great style, and absorbing gameplay.
...Dangit, I can't pick a favorite.

I've downloaded, and I'll edit this once I'm done.
And the edit has arrived.
I love this pack, they're all really great. Some great aesthetic work with awesome gameplay to match.
Well done, toasters. Well done. :3

Oh, right! I forgot to look at this.
Man, I can't decide, but either this or pheidi's is the best pack of the year so far for me. Argh, it's painful to even think about contesting the two.
Lots of very fresh designs and a high quality consistently. 'looming tower', 'breaking and dissolving, shining', and 'tribal treasure' are my favourites so far.
Quality stuff, absolutely.

This is great!
Some of the levels are a bit hard for me, but I love it, absolutely!
Awesome job on this.

Most of the maps were either frustrating or gimmicky. I didn't see much creativity, and it felt like a collection of 10-minute scrap maps. It had decent moments though.
Favourites from what I played: Lounds and Beaps, Deadly Jargon, Big City Blues, Sharply Defined, Keep on Your Toes, Tunnel Rat, and Machinery of Life.

I appreciate the feedback, but I am disappointed to hear that. I actually did put quite a bit of time into this.

- it's a small map >> after all.
- a hop skip and a jump >> simple but fun.

- tropical tribal treasure >> spunk.
