Description Watch out for the lasers!

This map was featured on 2013-09-03



Emptiness is a peculiar quality in maps. It requires its opposite to exist - a map made purely out of D-tiles isn't empty the same way a map like Laser First. As La Monte Young showed with music, and as Nexus has shown with this map, the serenity of the silence makes the action all the more intense.

"it really is a fun map to agd" it's impossible to complete this map without getting all the gold...

quick question:

is this the oldest map to be featured?
but the thing I noticed is that this map has nothing wrong with it; perfect mechanics and simple gameplay, especially at an early map-making age in the community and personally.

I see your point, and personally I wouldn't feature it, but like I said it is a good map that I approve of, because of the above reasons.

I'm going to go against the flow and say that this map is merely generic and playable, two variables which should not in any way constitute a feature-worthy map. I appreciate that this was a very early map (416th in the archive) and I encourage reviewers to continue to look for "gems" from early in the archive. However, I don't think randomly typing in a low-numbered url or just looking at a particular author's earliest maps to review is how it should work.

Other maps around this particular map chronologically that could be featured on the basis of this feature's apparent criteria:

Understand I'm being a little facetious. But really, it seems like a poor effort on the reviewer's part. Sorry anco.

I also approve.

You may now consider this a good map.

I do enjoy this map. I approve the feature.
I think sub-1200 is possible.
