Description | This is a very tight, fast-paced map. However, you won't survive very long if you just run into it. Work out a route, watch how the thwumps move, and you'll make it to the end.
I'm pretty sure there's more than one way to complete this, so speed demos might be quite interesting. |

This is Rocks and Hard Places, from Lucidium, one of the oldest and most poignant mappers of all generations. He was a true master of making addictive maps in style. Back in his day, he spawned ideas and even genres that are now rampant. This is one of them. A simple, quirky puzzle, it is small enough to not be gratuitous, while dancing that fine line between a great challenge and maddening frustration. Rocks, as Lucidium says, requires you to think about your moves in advance, to plan your route. Pay attention, and you will have a mess of fun. — Orion_

I
can't tell if I love or hate this map... I can't get past the first switch (demo), but I know it's a great level. I can't stand this level, so 5/5 and a favorite.

Terrific idea!
Frustrating, chaotic, but very fun and challenging! I did it pretty fast, and I managed to get all the gold... too bad I f*cked up a little right before the end...

Why haven't I commented on this?
This is quite possibly the coolest idea ever. Fast-paced split-second decisions have never been more fun.

Yowza.
This level is one tough cookie. Fortunately for small levels like this I happen to have enough patience. It's also fast-paced. I was thinking of a perfect score but there are a tad too many floor chasers. Seriously, two of them is hard enough already. All and all an excellent effort.
4.5 out of 5

Wow.
This is an amazing level. It's simple, beautiful, and fun. It's also really challening. It's all the things an N level should be. I finished the right side, but couldn't get to the left.
Thoroughly enjoyed. 5 out of 5.
