In times past, it was common to submit one's self to a trial. The three pillars do not represent three judges as people, but rather three core ideas: integrity, humility, and individuality. Together they encompassed the values of the community surrounding them. To only take on one judge did not prove one's worth to the community, as each idea had more meaning and purpose in conjunction with the others. Thus the trial was meant to test all aspects at once, such that a ninja could show their commitment to upholding the judges' ideals. — origami_alligator

"My research may never reach the surface. I am slowly running short of fuel for my lamps and ink for my pens. I fear I will soon become part of the memories trapped here...."

nevershine is a mapper who's been gone for a while but i think a worthy successor has emerged in Yoke3K. the baton has been officially handed off here, on the highest peak of the himalayas, and why not have a damn good map to commemorate it? have fun and take short breaths. — mahi_mahi

the map title certainly could be the biggest misnomer of recent times. far from any error, Mea Culpa is an exercise in precision and intricacy that, despite its simplicity (no mines!) feels like a galaxy of adventure and replayability. maybe i'm a sucker for rocket-bounceblock but i'll call you a liar if you say someone has done better than this in the last 5 years. — mahi_mahi

Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot of money that's ready to burn,
So get those stakes up higher
There's a thousand pretty women waitin' out there
And they're all livin' devil may care
And I'm just the devil with love to spare

call me stuck under a rock but i've seen maybe three door eeries ever cover the whole map and have pretty tiles to boot. this genre is kinda dead nowadays but when i played this several years ago it instantly made me want it to be alive and well again. here's to the old days when trap door spam was cool, it is in this map. — mahi_mahi

This map employs a crew of arrows to tell you where, or where not, to go. Without watching any demos try to figure this one out. It isn't that hard, but it isn't trivial. The concept is unusually clever in this one, and it deserves to be seen at least once more.

Keep mapping, mate! — DaggaFork

I threw the title into Google Translate and got "Who watches the watchers?" which is caveman lingo for "the floor guards are gonna come getcha." That's pretty much all you need to know about this map before you start playing it, so the rest is just praise. This map is bloody fantastic, I love the balanced difficulty. There's no tricks, just mistakes to be made.

Seneschal, you've made plenty of great maps, and this is one of them. What a magnificent map. — DaggaFork

This is one of the most interesting maps I've ever played. From the beautiful tiles to the smooth, fun gameplay, every feature only works to improve the enjoyment of playing. Each challenge is exciting, like climbing out of the pit on the left and tunneling your way in the right side to the key. And as fingersonthefrets said, "The feeling of going in a secret way to get to the exit key is sick."

All around this is a fantastic map, stunningly well-done job, PALEMOON. — DaggaFork

Some maps are not worth waiting for to load. This map, however, has a nice flow, as well as a stunning aesthetic making it well worth your time. We've all probably spent countless minutes waiting for maps to load that aren't very good. This time it will be, believe me. And if you aren't willing to, try to enjoy the art.

Without further ado, everyone, Astronaut — DaggaFork
