I thought it was very irritating. The one ways did more harm than good.

This is what happens when you play N with those strobe lights that blink on and off repeatedly and make things look like frame-by-frame animations. Except not fun at all.

Well, I thought it was linear! Terrible rocket placement. It doesn't seem like you spent very much time on the gameplay of the map at all.

I hope that is a Quadradius reference. Chainguns really, really bother me, and I definitely think this map could have used a little bit more maneuvering room. But still, not bad. I like the one ways a lot.

Wow, those chainguns weren't threatening at all. Lacking in any kind of replayability. It's basically just a bad minejumper with some chainguns that pretend to help the map, but instead they don't. THEY JUST DON'T.

[unoriginal name]

Okay, right then. Seneschal and fuckfuckfuckfuckfwj; are out. Sorry for the slowness this round. Next theme is High. Again, interpret as you wish. Deadline is the same as always.

[Riobe]

I got a head start on it this time. :3

Hah, I had to pull out anyways.

I'm just wondering why Skyline does not like me? I mean, what did I do to you?

We both got kicked out this round...that means he must be cheesist >:/
Hehe, that was a cheesy joke.

I guess he decided to cut the cheese(cheez).

Should PALEMOON still be in this competition? He hasn't posted AGDs for the last three maps. 9_9

gloomp said on irc that we don't need to anymore.

Gameplay was very weak, given what the tileset suggested. I would've liked a less roundabout ascension.

Fun: 20/50 (minus ten for non-linearity, to wit the leftmost trapdoor is unnecessary )

It was rather enjoyable when not frustrating. I agree with mintnut that gausses were the wrong enemies.

Fun but rather bland take on the theme. I did like how once you got used to it, you could breeze right through.

You hardly used the theme at all, but it looked fucking sick and was quite fun to flow through.

[MattKestrel]

Wait, what? You announced the deadline would be same as always from when the next theme was announced. Therefore, 29th, not 26th. Surely? That was only a draft :/

I mean, that map was okay, but I made it assuming I'd have a week from the theme being announced to make a final version? Eh? Not to be whiny or anything :P

I enjoyed the layout, gameplay, and tileset, but I think the enemy placement was a little lackluster. That zap drone on the right side could've been used better, and it would have been cool if in the top left, you were aimed at by the gauss in that little gold cubby. Just minor details that would have made the map more impressive. Regardless of the map title, I didn't feel like I was very high while playing this. Heh.

The only thing being hung high here is your mapping prowess. But seriously, I thought it was a good concept executed poorly.

Quite an atmospheric map, like floating on cloud wisps. The map was far too short and stupid to be any good, though. Those zaps are more pesky than fun.

I think the bounce blocks made the map a little too easy and quick. A nice awkward map would have been better.

Very creative and challenging map.

[unoriginal name]

Hahahah, sorry GTM, I should've been specific. By "regular deadline" I meant it would be Saturday, as usual, rather than in a week, as semi-usual. Anyway, I'm afraid you (GTM) and maxson are out. Good run!

Now, on to the business of the final round. That's right, final. I'm giving you a week-and-a-half to craft the best linear map you can make. No theme, just try your dammedest to make your best linear map yet.

Also there will be a twist ending.

[MattKestrel]

Haha, no worries. I didn't think I'd make it on that tbh. I told maxson this would happen :3

I'll probably make a linear map anyways, not for the comp, but just to prove I can actually make a convincing linear map without going completely tunnels :P

LMC3 MAP OMG

Oh yeah, I guess I should post it here.

[Erik-Player]

Wow, the poll really changes things. This is gonna be exciting!
