Map Data

Description ^___^

I actually *really* like this map of mine, for The NReality Column Competition. TNCC.

Just a bunch of mines on the ground and one 3-speed drone chasing you. It's required to beat it; the entire time you're directing the drone around the course in order to traverse it without touching the mines, all the while trying not to get crushed too. ^___^

RCE. There's a lot of gold, but I think an AGD is completely impossible. It's a lot of hard places, but free to prove me wrong. Anyone who gets an AGD gets a DED and a positive RCE on five of their maps. :D

It's that hard.

Completion isn't too hard though. ^_^

so hard about this level... once you get the hang of it, you can navigate it really easy. but the gold, that is quite a challenge. =/
5/5aved

:(

Fine
This has nothing to do with the map (though it is EXTREMELY hard for me. 4/5) but i could never figure out why it did that when i downloaded it.

Hey

Suppose the first vote is 4 and the second vote is 3, then you still see it as
1st vote = 4
&
2nd vote = 4 (actually 3.5 but it is rounded up)

Second Try

Hard as hell.

that was nowhere near a snipe. The 4/5 you saw was not a solid one, it was rounded up. The next vote could have been a 2/5, and that was probably a genuine vote.

The level *is* below average, imo. There's no real structure to it; you don't really use the concept in an imaginative way; the tiles are *really* bland; the play is repetitive...

The concept itself would be much better off in something more open and smaller, imo. This stretches out what could be something very fun into a bit of a chore.

Sweet

I have a 1153 frame demo on NReality now :D

I guess so, nemetacyst...if you just practice this map a bit, it's a cinch, though. I think people just find it hard because it's largely new to them :P

@ Kitchen

with some kinds of things, levels are always easiest for the maker. you playtest and playtest and pretty soon you have the specific skill for the specific level down to a science. then its just harder for other people than it is for you...its happened to me plenty of times

suggestions to fix it would include slowing the drone (though i kinda like it being somewhat fast) or just opening up the areas a little so less precision is required

long post, sorry, i like it, i think its well made and combines several ways of drone riding and they fit together well, it is tough though

Aww man

I got a lot of gold at the start :(
Demo Data

Even faster

Two pieces of gold, as well.

I mean, I just did it three times in like two minutes. I don't see what's hard :(
Demo Data

Even faster

Only one piece of gold this time though.

And I nabbed two pieces of gold!

Really you guys, is it that hard? I find it pretty easy.
Demo Data
And you have to wait for the transparent update to download before loading the level.
Do I have to get an update or patch or something to make it work?

Granted

But I had 4/5 with one vote, 4/5 with the second, and 4/5 with the third.

I call sniped

TheKitchenSink

not really. when you got 4 with 3 votes, maybe its rounded up, like 2 votes of 4 and 1 vote of 3. Then if another gives you a 2 you'll get an avg 3

:(

I got sniped.

I had 3 votes, 4/5 (that's obviously the equivalent of 12/3)

Now I have 4 votes, 3/5 (That's 12/4, which means I got a 0) :(
I run into this problem too much though. It would have been better if maybe you didn't have to go all the way back. I would have ended it where the switch is.

It's hard

But it is fun. Agd would be too much of a pain to even think about getting. Lets see some professionals. 4aved.

Really?

You guys think it's hard? It only takes me like 3 tries.

I had a completion demo but I accidentally lost it, so I had to make one up the moment after I posted this map. It literally took me about a minute to get a new demo up.

Check my demo out, maybe you're doing it wrong :P

Aughh!!

Hard!

Completion Demo

Damn, I really like this map.
Demo Data

very nice concept

i think the concept is very good, but it's waaay too hard for me. that's just me though; others will probably laud this. i do too; good innovation! 4.1/5
