Description "This map is a trip. A journey if you will. It starts off unobtrusively enough, your ninja treading softly through lonely halls. However as you progress it becomes increasingly apparent just how frail your ninja’s hold on life is. Around every corner lurks a dead machine, every room a trap waits to be sprung. Soon there is no turning back. Only that familiar pale yellow glow urges you onward. As you ascend through the twisted ruins, you realize that this journey is far from over. The story is only beginning."

This map is a trip. The first line says it all. Every room is regular, square and generic, and in every room the same gold pattern is in the top left corner.

<squibbles> ok, so before you play it
<squibbles> I wanted to make a map that made the review as much like something that I'd write as possible
<squibbles> so, this map is an acid trip map
<squibbles> all the rooms are regular rooms
<squibbles> boring squares
<squibbles> all the gold is in a regular pattern, in the top left of each room
<squibbles> that's the reality of the map
<squibbles> not what is percieved while playing it
<squibbles> I'm not /that/ audacious
<squibbles> :P
<squibbles> but yeah, just bear that in mind while you play
<squibbles> hell
<squibbles> the ninja probably isn't even moving

Huge thanks to Furry for playtesting it and proving that the concept works.

<furry> fuck, those seekers scared the crap out of me squibbles
<furry> :O

<furry> I think the part at the end with the floorguard and the thwump could possibly be toned down a bit.
<squibbles> the thwump doesn't move, though
<squibbles> it's purely psychological
<squibbles> :S
<furry> huh, i swear it moved .____.
<furry> nevermind
<furry> thats cool then.
<furry> i must be so freaked out by this map
<furry> that i can't even think straight

4.5/5

I've seen some beautiful levels for this contest but this level fit the best with the theme ;)
Long and packed into a tiny space
Demo Data

first go

AGD, amazing map, follows the review to a t.
Demo Data

Pretty good map

an interesting take on the theme

i also entered

wtf this is good!

um

I /was/ gonna enter. but.. ah fuck ikt

It's interesting

but it seems drawn out and trying too hard to be off-kilter. I guess it suits the concept well, but found it a little tedious moving between the interesting points.

I also don't see how it fits the review, especially the beginning.

Saying that, I like how you worked the chaingun section, and the thwumps/fg were cool.

Looks cool in the thumb.

this map

is so fucked fabulous wtf wtf


5 i guess what

wow

that's crazy

yeah man

It was like an $60 (Australian) stick, but it was so worth it. Best night of my life.

What exactly

was this bush? weed? Cause if you for really hallucinated off some really dank shit, that must have been some really dank shit! hahahah

sounds

crazy

yeah

I've not tried acid before. :S

This is based of a vision I had off some really chronic bush. The walls grew vines, man. Fucking /vines/.

AGD :)

5/5 It very much works. :) 3rd Try AGD. Its very slow and clumsy but whatever. Its a sweet map :)

AGD

you're right

*cries*
Demo Data
then that gauss nails me. Ah well, cool map. Not my first choice for map that fits the theme, but it plays really well.
Demo Data
in a good way. I was actually able to set aside my hatred for all things NaN'd or in walls :O
I love those concepts and it looks awesome, btw.
