Description

This map was featured on 2008-08-20

I first played this map a long time ago. I really, really, REALLY loved it. Then I came back and played it again a few weeks ago thinking, "Heh, I wonder how much different this'll be playing now," or something else along those mildly incoherent lines. And it was different.

I really, really, REALLY, REALLY loved it, and I now, as I did then, consider Taste The Rainbow to be among the best and most under-appreciated maps on NUMA, and certainly Cerberus's best, so I've reviewed it, although I didn't really say anything about it. — gloomp

The only thing good about this map in my opinion is the mines.

O,

and the gold was badly placed.

I dunno.

The mines deemed clustered, and the tiles where bland. 3

Heh...

It's not a bad map by any means. It's mildly fun, no major flaws. But it doesn't do anything spectacularly well, as some people seem to think, and it /certainly/ doesn't "dare to be different".
It doesn't look like someone's first map; I think he put some effort into trying something new...
But the gameplay is nowhere near feature worthy, altho I can see why gloomp liked it. 3.5 up

Ugh

It's funny, because if I posted this map right now, it would probably get atleast a 3.

Heres what it comes down to for me.
Fenominous is right, it does look like someones first map. Mines are clustered, the tileset looks really off, the thwumps look almost displaced. Gloomp's review ... Lets just say, that was the work of atleast a 3 year old.

Although i'm expressing negatives about this map, Cerberus has made masterpieces compared to this.

3/5

But not fast at all... XP

*community
Do you know what grinds my gears more than the people complaining about which maps are featured? The fucking people that complain about the people who complain.
For fucks sake - SHUT THE FUCK UP! :P

As a wise person once said - I hated the people who complain about the people who complain about sniping before it was cool..

I could

highlight how i never told you anything about your opinion arona, I just stated my own stance on the whole thing.

But instead, I will advise you not to judge people based on taste.
Also, it's my opinion that he's not a good reviewer, do I not have the right to have that opinion?

@mintnut

glooomp? lol

Mine isn't either. No one challenged the review or the feature (aside from possibly Radium Falcon). There's no such thing as a fact when it comes to rating maps or featuring maps. It's all based on opinion. And in your opinion, you think it's flawless, and we're not being open-mined. That's an opinion. Disagreement dosen't necessarily mean we don't respect your opinion.

neither is mine,

i respect gloomp's opinion, and everyone's for that matter. why is gloomp a bad reviewer just because you happen not to like this map or think that it's feature-worthy? that's happened before.
As I understand that there is such a thing as taste.

Gah! I hate you all.

Cerebus

has more than a hundred maps that are far better than this one. No one is asking for you to apologize for featuring this, but my opinion of you as a reviewer is sorely hurt.

I enjoyed it.

Probably not feature-worthy though.

3.5 rounded down

I like it because its unique, but the gameplay is ho-hum.

AGD

a single frame faster than xaelar :P
I thought that it was quite poor, but when I got into it and started using the route going right after the first lot of gold it was great

Double click the Flash projector to start N. At the main menu, press the '~' or '|' (vertical bar) key. If you have an international keyboard, try the 'รถ' (circle with two dots above it) key.

Taken from the editor_manual.txt that comes with the game.

It feels to me

as though you skim through this map with the ghost of a great experience flirting with your peripheral vision.

Thwumps feel pointless and the entire first room feels too dry. I enjoyed the FG and the ascent to the terminal switch, but aside from that I wasn't excited in the slightest.

The look of it is open to debate, of course, but I think it looks quite nice. It does look a little odd, but really Gloomp's protestation that this map is 'daring to be different' feels like trying to bail water with a sieve.

???

how do u make these?
going to make me apologize for this one. Not being open-minded enough to like a map that actually DARES TO BE DIFFERENT is your problem, not mine.

I mean

for maps with 1 main route

This map is very good for highscoring 4/5

i dont know why you all say this map is so "great" since it sucks and its really boring , sorry to say that but there is nothing special about this map , gameplay is far to easy and the tumbnail looks like some new guy posted his "first map".

for all ya butlickers , dont go saying this is a good map because its Cerebus, and if you do think its a good map give some good critizisements why you think this is a good map.

2/5 aved
