| Description | A quickie, in the sense that it only took one mapping session to make. Still between one and two hours of work. There's a pretty smooth AGD path through the main structure if your timing is right, and I'll bet those highscorers could figure out something faster. ;)
Enjoy. |

Slow map.
Agree with mintnut, but that's hardly a flaw. I can't believe something this comparatively boring is so good.

pakwan has it right
you should heed his wise words, Pheidi.

This is pretty tight
Even if i want to play this leisurly, i can take my time and still enjoy the antics of those silly drones.

AGD-1
I honestly didn't think the drone timing was that great, I would've liked to chimney up that first part a lot faster. But it was still fun.

You should definitely take pakwan's advice
he knows what he's talking about.

welcome
Listen to the following and you'll improve quickly:
Don't put gold right along the path - it's meant to offer an extra challenge.
Most people start with tiles first then add objects, but it's up to you.
Usually, less enemies is better, fewer enemies can offer a challenge without making it frustrating.
1 enemy can do the job of 3.
Don't lock enemies behind doors.
Watch where you put your trapdoors. If they lock the ninja in a corner or a place where you can't get out, it's a bad idea to place it there.
Feel free to ask questions.
Just keep mapping - You'll start to understand what makes a good map.
Always listen to advice from respectable authors.
Don't hide enemies or items.
Don't spam items or enemies or maps.
Only post 2 maps on Hot Maps at a time.
Play other people's maps. . . a lot.
Learn new things, and try new ideas and concepts.
If you devolp a style that works, stick with it if you want to. If not, that's fine too.
Playtest ALL of your maps (Can't stress that enough).
Anyway, Welcome to NUMA

@ Velocirooster,
Your faster start broke up the smooth route I was looking at. I was taking longer to ascend the first column, so the drones got into a different position. I use your start in my demo, though, just to see what I could do with it.
@ mintnut, the demo shows why I had them surface-follow. It's a little more to keep track of, but it allows you to demonstrate some moar skillz, which helps spice it up to balance the length.
@ Everyone else, thanks for the comments. Glad you liked it. ^^

AGD
It is a little long and boring, and it wasn't as smooth as I thought it would be in the main structure. It was nice that you had something different at the end though. Solid map. 4/5

But it's soothing to watch... :)

Why did
you make the bottom drones surface follow? That tripped me up so many times, it created an inconsistency in their paths which I couldn't reconcile.
2009-12-07
I agree with maxson.
I never spend less than one hour on a map..
And I love this one. This is, in fact, one of the best drone maps I've played yet. Everything is placed perfect, and it's really beautiful.

Oh Pheidippides...
I wish I was a reviewer so I could review your amazing maps and just ramble on about their awesomeness. :D
This wasn't my favorite map from you, but I still loved it a lot. The drones were schweeeet.
