Description The eighth in a collection of ten maps, entitled "Abductions & Reconstructions".

Un retour à l'art du déplacement.

This map was featured on 2009-12-30

What strikes me first about the eighth of ten maps in Uncon's brilliant series is the functionality. Each mine is used effectively to elevate the challenge of the map, and the lone rocket covers 80% of the open space. But clean design and efficiency are expected in every Uncon map, so let's skip to the feature of Mental atmosphere, the drone path. Combined with the rocket, the pathing covers nearly every section, making each switch and each gold clump it's own mini-challenge within the map.

Add the above to the usual beautiful, Uncon-ish tileset, and you get pure excellence.

spudz, FMI and Mekkah, they mean a lot.
Not too bad now I see.

Best ten map series NUMA's ever seen?

5aved.

So replayable, best drones I've seen since tktktk ... good rocket, good one-ways, <3 the structure.

The only detractor being the occasional eight tiles.

First try agd.

This is probably my favorite map from you ever. Those drones were too much fun. 5aved

Cool.

Thanks on both counts toasters, appreciate it mate.

AGD.

I second what atob said, and I also dislike the jump pads. Other than that this was awesome.

Nobody has to know :p

I

Thanks for all the feedback everyone; it really makes putting a level together worthwhile to hear people's reactions to it.

Lol.

Sorry atob!

Was basically trying to just add a tricky section for the all gold-ers but it does disrupt the smooth feel of the level overall I think. Shame. Something to bear in mind for next though, so cheers.

drones are great
Demo Data

Gah!

You're too good at drone pathing.

Drones.

Are lovely, btw.

Where they overlap the gold just under the rocket annoys the hell out of me, though!

THE ROCKET

Can be annoying, but overall it adds *just* the right amount of tension. The level is so repayable anyway, it's not like learning a path is a problem.

The only part that didn't gel entirely for me is the far left gauss pit. Just felt a little disjointed.

4/5
