Description I strongly recommend ignoring the gold on your first try.

This map was featured on 2011-05-26

This map reminds me of the movie "Hop". Not strictly because it's a carefree place where hopping around is the only method of transportation, though it may seem that way at first.

No, what really relates this masterpiece to the aforementioned motion picture is that it's a land of self discovery, where surprises wait around every corner you come across, shooting adrenaline through your veins. It brings out the best in a player, navigating the deceptively dangerous obstacles until you reach the grand finale, and realize how much fun you just had.

Also, like the movie, it's DAMN AWESOME.

lol, ahh i cant stand my older maps! they remind me of how nooby i was! also congrats on this feature dude.

Like the thwumps

in the lower half, but the mines seemed a little impromptu.

But I'm no person to complain about objects not fitting the map, people tell me the same thing all the time.

FTAGD

I respectfully disregard your advice.

This thing is sweet. The start and both mine chambers play amazingly (though I was worried I wouldn't fit under that mine in the first one) and even the staircase ending is stylish. Really nice.

fastest AGD

I remember hop...

Piece of Shit kid movie.

Read a lot of weird reviews in my day, but I don't think I've ever seen a map referred to as a "land of self discovery" before.
Mixing two different types of gameplay (thwumps at the bottom and mine rooms further up) made this one even more fun. 4.
Congratulations of the feature! Definitely well deserved.
Demo Data

yay, congrats!

4/5
I guess this means I should hurry up and finish the map I'm working on now, then, considering there's no extra pressure on how good it is or anything haha.
so that it'd fit. Hope you don't mind, Mahi. :S

It has

come. [nmaps.net]
hopefully it gets featured :D

Ah...

Make a map soon though.

AERO!

YOU'RE NOT DEAD! :D

Glad someone got it ;)

i loved this

i went for the gold on my first try: great concept! great stuff.
Just... You deserve one.

Anyways

I'm not insulted.
Nauru looks too easy, but I can still make both Kiribati and Seychelles for you. I'm ahead a few maps like Finland and a few others. Thanks for the suggestion.

I would like to see a Demo of yours here (if you can)
thanks aero.
Yeah 4.5 if I could, but... :/

a ded for you...

thanks brother
I like the bottom especially. 5/5 and faved!
those comments mean a lot (especially zthing's, haha).

Love it

The bottom bit is exquisite, but then again I'm biased cos thwumps are my favourite :) the gauss is perfect to keep you moving as well. Not so sure about the change to being a mine jumper but you balanced the difficulty well, but I don't like the door placement much at all, it feels so random and the gameplay so contrived in comparison to the rest of the map.
This AGD is really fast at the bottom but then slow, I have one at 1500 frames on nreality
Demo Data
extremely enjoyable. 4 and faved.
Demo Data

WOW!!!

>referent this map

You're right in what you say about the maps with a good balance of difficulty. I like that is progressive and as you say, you can not beat the map in the first attempt. And I love the gold is an extra challenge, as in this!

Keep it up!
AWESOME CHALLENGE
4/5

Thanks aerodynamic, why your comment and criticism in 10-0: Jeans Intelligence [nmaps.net] occurred to me one Additional Challenge for that map. Or even a Remix.
As Additional Challenge, would be to complete the map by taking the gold from itself only and exclusively over the mines.
As Remix, a map in which there is only gold over the mines and forces you to step over them.
Want to Be the Remix?
(Did not even know you could pass over them...But it's fun trying to get the gold only by passing over them and try to complete the map this way. It's fun and the gameplay is quite different. Try)

For this, thanks!

FML. that was entirely my fault.
Demo Data

actual first try AGDD. will make a proper AGD... its fun.
Demo Data

uh-oh o_0

the last thing I want to be is numa-generic. I was going for more metanet with my own unique twist.

hey, thanks

I like to make my maps with enough challenge so that they can't be beaten on someone's first try. Though I'm still working on finding a good difficulty balance. This at the moment is pretty much as easy as they get by me, probably.

Very NUMA-like.

pretty good

nice map! pretty hard tho. 4/5
