Description First agd gets a dedication.

I love this map so much. Thanks to cahu for inspiring it. You have to do a special type of jump to reach the next area but if you mess up you have to give up some gold ;_; Except the last jump, which is the easiest, but if you mess up you cant beat it.

Please comment and tell me what you think.

In most puzzles, it is very common to screw yourself over the first couple times you play the map, maybe more depending on the complexity of the puzzle.

"Never Look Back" by spudzalot throws that idea down a rather large flight of steps. While you might make moves that would normally cause your demise, you can go back and try an indefinite number of times (not on the clock of course) only being punished by your faults by loss of gold.

Oh did I mention it's fun to play and it's not to bad looking? Play it.

Fun map.

Uhh...

I probably cheated, but I didn't do anything the game itself isn't supposed to allow, so I still completed the level technically and got an AGD... Kindof...
Demo Data

In my opinion

This is map making at it's best.

First Try.

Brilliant map.
Demo Data
the last jump is too easy and if you mess up you cant complete the level, which I dont like. It's also a little cheatable. not as good as I expected, but it's okay. 4/5

legitimate agd. fastest so far

The jumps

They're all almost the same, for one thing, and there's a reliance on mines to make them difficult, which is something I really don't like.

@destiny

Yep you did cheat. I was stupid and didnt realize it was cheatable there until it was to late to edit. :(

Third try AGD

i may have cheated the second room...
Demo Data

Yeah.

It's not easy, but far away from being hard too, and after a few tries you get a clean result.

Ah yeah missed that typo. Whatever it's not the end of the world.

I like the concept.

I don't mind it's been done, this is a really tidy implementation.

I've been wanting to feature this for weeks, I just couldn't seem to get the words out properly. I'm glad it was chosen.
Nor will it be the last.

I can't say I like these maps. They're like prisoner maps, but instead of dying when you mess up you lose out on gold.

Great concept, really fun. 5aved

hey evil_bob

its a great concept spudzalot has created here, isn't it

ARGH

i cant get up the first part. Im not bad but im not an expert and i tried and tried and tried and its like impossible!!!

lol gratz

make that 4 featured!

Fun,

this is how far I've gotten so far. I accidentally did a corner jump at the first part, though I've done that part the same way without a corner jump.
I like how you lose gold if you mess up.

@Arona_Daal

What is wrong with the jumps?

Thanks very much for the feature. :)

Theres 4 jumps...

And their not good jumps either.

good good

puzzle
...as what is to what?

Just thought I'd point that small typo out, bob.

Greatness

5. What A Jumper.

agd!

...5/5...
Demo Data
Im thinking it might because I think I got 5's from 3 people that feature. You never know...

Impressive.

I would have bitesized / featured it.

I thought as much.

Just watch my demo

It shows how all the jumps were intended to be. Basically if you went above the oneways and didnt reach the top but was able to get up another way without having to get the trap door then you cheated.

Slow AGD

Yeah, yeah, I did a corner jump, but I have no idea how that part is done.

This map, like all your others, has a great idea executed nearly perfectly. It's very fun and embarrassingly addictive. The idea gives this a 4, the execution adds 1.

I think

you've built on the concept quite well. I like this one more than Cahu's because its much bigger, and uses more of the map. faved, and i'll keep an eye on your stuff.

Pretty Nifty

I like the concept and the execution. A five? No, but a solid four for sure.

Very slick.

Excellent implementation of a simple and effective concept.
but 4 of them inculde corner jumps :D
