Description Tileset [nmaps.net] by Conen__TG_.

This map is an experiment in flow for me, something I always find hard to get right. There's an intended path, but it is quite difficult. Because of this I left the map very open-ended for innovation by highscorers. Also there are quite a few objects to help recover from mistakes and to help with alternate paths. Finally once you get the exit key the only thing left for you to do is grab the optional gold if you'd like and find a way to the exit, there's no set flow for this part.
Please take the time to play through it a few times, especially with trying my intended flow path, which I think is the most rewarding.

As a flow map

I feel it didn't succeed...however, as a map, I thought it was excelent. I especially liked that you placed in some launchpads to allow travel back up.

It was a very unique playing experiance, I like your style.

4/5aved

like 179 says, it doesn't seem to come together...
Demo Data
But I do feel that this has far too many little stops and turns and waits for anything to really fall into place. In the demo you posted, your path takes routes that, far from being obvious, seemed improvised; I didn't really see too much flow. I could tell you were trying to flow, but to me it seemed that flow only really happened in snippets and pockets of the demo.

As an action map, It plays decent, but I don't really see enough flow in there for it to be the centerpiece of the map. 3.5/5

Interesting style...

intended flow route

messed up the beginning a bit, used one of the helper objects, then died at the very end
otherwise it's pretty decent
