Description "Set up in the year 2049, it was made with a low budget, this great project. It was about to be scrapped, for it's earlier defences depended on droids that used electricity when touched, but a stroke of genius caused this to be changed into 3 laser towers, with electric senser drones on the bottom. It still stays with us, to this day."

True story.

EDIT: Replaced the gold in the bottom with mines, and got rid of the corner ones.

I found this map to be strickingly weird. I am not sure on how to improve this map, but I can tell you that I found the gold a little bit strange. The bad part is mostly about the one-ways, which let you go off a tile without falling off it, which creates an awkward gameplay, with those golds even closer to the tiles.
Another thing that I found ineffective were the lasers, which were boring when not active and really blowing when shooting at you (watch me at the left laser, avoiding two shots at once. That was mostly luck, yes.) However, as I said, I can't really suggest anything on that. It's just the theme of the map and I'm a person who loves dodging rockets :)
And seeing as I am no mapmaker, maybe you have some ideas on how to improve the bottom part, which I mostly skipped, beause I found it easier to do it that way :/

AHA!

I always felt that map to be a bit akward. I'll get rid of the mines, and see what happens.

Pretty good.

The gold near the thwumps seems awkward to get, though. I think the map would play more smoothly without it.
