This should have stopped with the tiles. Sweet though.

Oh forsure.

I know what I like. I wouldn't say narrow though, go through my favourites, I have a wide range of likes.

I like it as is.

I love atob and his maps. Sometimes I think he has a narrow view of atmosphere and aesthetics.

But still,

I like your sci-fi remix, atob!

Heh.

The main idea for not having mines (and I did consider them) was to portray the atmosphere of a desolate planet with relatively few features. The red mines would have given it too much shape.

Not an improvement IMO

This isn't like the GEAH map, where sections of the map were just neglected. This feels complete without stuff inside the tile shapes. For me at least.

Good map skyline!

Here's an idea:

Not perfect, but I'm sure the original could be improved in a similar way.

I like this minimalism.

Anything else probably /would/ detract from the ambiance.

I get get that idea, Minty.

Still, the maps looks too bland aesthetically for my tastes. Perhaps some more intricacy with the right hand wall, or within the segments of the main structure.

I'm sure there'd be a way to 'add' to this without adding more objects or changing the play in the slightest.

I agree

with eganic. The complete lack of mines actually gives the map some identity. So many maps become indistinguishable because an author has fallen into their rut (oops, I mean style) and can't stop repeating their own motifs. Maps which stick in your head have a definable quality to them, and the lack of mines, for me, is just one facet of this map's hook.

I find if you add, These things, it would be better.

A lazer Drone, just one, and some mines, and some trap doors, that make the gameplay even more mixed-up.

4/5, I love the defrent paths you can chose.

Mixes up the game.
I give you a 4%89/5 rating.
Good game!

i like it without mines

aesthetically, it looks really picturesque with the calm happy colors of grey and yellow and blue. thats actually one of the things i like most about it. adding mines would mess up that serene composure.

Good stuff.

I agree with atob on the mines, though.

Slow agd.

Excellent map. My favourite part of this is the way I didn't feel restricted into planning out a path. Each time I ran, I took a different route. Helped to ease the frustration of those relentless gauss.

Really satisfying to agd.

Is a little lacking in aesthetics, mines would make this prettier. Adding them to unreachable areas, for example.

pretty fun

I was about to type easy and relaxed, but I suppose that's only because I wasn't rushing for a quick time. But still, it's not very tense if you're just going for a regular agd.

the climb up to the top was weird sometimes, but the whole thing looks good and plays pretty well too.
