I'm 3/5 now :)
This new one is really good!

I'm going to have to agree with you. This is quite possibly the best race I've ever seen.

great race

The timing

was spot on. Nice job.
have to kick off one of the walls. Which in this case, is the one-ways you so hate.

And I agree with the one-way chimney thing; they arent nice. Here they just keep you aiming straight up :P

Why? Because the biggest pet-peeve I have with races is when they're made for a slower playthrough than is possible. (What ska said, condensed.)

Also, I disliked the chimneying bit. That's not your fault--it's just no fun to chimney one-ways.

meh

wasn't fully awesome but still alright.
i wouldnt say its one of ur best maps.
4/5

Take 3!

agd - tied 'therealone'

OK - This is a good race by anyone's standard, however I feel like the map could've been refined better if a more diverse of players (AKA highscorers) tested the map more thoroughly first; this is particularly evident when players push for big jumps only to be decapatitated by a rogue mine or cut off due to a laser drone glitch/timing, I can understand this is to add to the faux danger that in reality shouldn't exist but as seen in my "take 2" demo, mines can be hit, (perhaps a one way or two could fix this while keeping the map tidy. The good stuff is (while the start was generic - and that's ok, I'm all down for generic) the map's flow was inventive, creative and intense (especially played with pulsating music! :P) The bounce block thing was pretty neat and worked well within the core idea of the map (perhaps another diagonal launchpad where those mines would make that area a little less cluttered (annoying). Tiles were sweet. I can't understand the logic behind a 2 out of 5, this map deserves at least a 3.5 imo. I'm going to rate a solid 4.

i do not flip flop

i repeat: i do not flop flip

eh

not your best, yet still quite a fun race. timing is great, and its fast and fun to play, but its nothing particularly special.

speedrun.

fbf.

I'm at school now, so I can't take time to AGD...I'll get back to it.

Ah, I got another AGD.
Demo Data

I really love the aesthetics, but the flow didn't feel unique enough to me. 4/5.
I would post an AGD, but my keyboard is acting funny and it didn't detect the Ctrl part of Ctrl-C, so it erased my demo when I tried to copy it.

Fastest AGD

With the flow.
Demo Data

Perfection!

5/5 This map had perfect laser timing, prefect flow, almost 1000 frames of play time. A perfect race if there ever was one.
Demo Data

lord_day,

was right on :/

Very fun.

The path was hard to find at first, but once I figured out all the tricks it was really cool. 5
Demo Data

When

I said atmosphere, I kinda meant, erm...it's hard to explain, just that something, I don't know what it is, just that it seemed like it hadn't quite hit the target for me...the tileset is good, a _destiny^- trademark.
I think I was a bit harsh, up to 4/5

adlfkj

there, a bit faster, and I beat the laser! its really really close though, far left with bumper/wall jump
Demo Data

adflk

oh nevermind, I survived that demo :/ I died when I played it though...

asdflkj

I loved it, except I died everytime because I went to fast and the laser moved to far forward, this is the only demo which I completed it so I was shocked and panicked , so death/confused demo, but I like the tiles, speed, everything, great work! faved
Demo Data

:/

Cheesemonger: I actually thought i created a great atmosphere, kinda jungly and scary. :/
Lord_Day: The flow ISNT generic. Just because it is smooth and flowing doesnt mean it's generic. This is more... inventive than generic flow.

It is awful

Zeroed

=P

What??

The Hell...
Demo Data
It was easy to tell that its author was an accomplished race maker, but it lacked that certain something which would have created an atmosphere; I just felt that I'd seen it all before, except maybe the lasers in the tiles, which was annoying.
3/5 You can do so much better than this, IMO
I still like Monsoon the best <3
Demo Data
With a few areas that I feel didn't pull together. 2/5.
But I don't think the enemies were involved enough to put across the image conveyed by the tileset, if that makes any sense. Also, the chimneying section is annoying at times. Other than that, excellent.

Freakin' Awesome

5aved, Userlevel'd, and I think it's feature worthy. I'd gove ot a 6/5, but that's not allowed.

Hum.

An above average _destiny^- race, imo. Nothing spectacular, but good and solid.

such a good map!

Good job I have no criticism for this map at all. Keep 'em coming!

this maps crazy

the tileset compliments the gameplay and speed of the map so well
aesthetics were spot on, as well as enemy placement
def 5aved for me

yup...

your best.
