Description | Nice and open. |
This map was featured on 2010-01-02
We all know how atob can combine interesting gameplay mechanics with consistent aesthetics themes. However, occasionally this can lead to a dry experience, especially when imitated by other people. Thankfully, Mainvein provides a masterclass in how to manage these elements cohesively, and still provide a fresh and fun experience.
Freeform to the max, the fun here is generated from the player abusing the thwumps in clever ways to manouevre across the structure, and finding multiple paths to the same objectives. Many maps have tried this structure, and indeed style, and failed. Here's a reminder of how to do it well.

Awesome map
These thwumps are so great placed.

This is Pretty Good
I like this map. It has a nice and easy route to the door, but getting the gold presents a challenge. 4.5/5

.:ADVANCE:.
Please do not feature any more maps today unless southpaw wants to reclaim his spot. The new feature stats are being finalised and I don't want to have to make changes whilst I'm making the images.

188 frame speedrun.
Pretty sloppy. Trying to improve.

nice map!
i lke its complexity. but my old computer is too slow to hanlde n(30ms/f)

i find it interesting
that the thwumps ended up helping me a lot more than hurting me - the map would be a lot harder if they were not there, i think. Very cool.

Thank you GHM
for featuring an ATOB map. I wanted to feature one during the week but apparently my review was found lacking.
Still, I definitely think ATOB deserves this kind of props. He's a marvelleous mapper and a great addition to NUMA :)

yeah. this is
really cool. one of my favourites from you probably. i dont know how i missed it. nice.
2009-07-20
faved.
probably my favorite map from you, gameplay-wise.
The gold complimented the map and wasn't overdone or underdone, and created a nice route for the ninja to travel. The thwump was a great touch, while the laser provided a relaxed threat.
Awesome map...faved

I'll take that
challenge
2009-07-15
Its not really a glitch I've used it before
I know it works with all drones but I've never seen it sucsessfully done with a laser or chaingun befor
2009-07-14
Please watch this demo
it was very hard to do
I may use the concept of letting lasers through doors some time but I'll credit this as where I got the idea from

This is great.
Like Skyline said, it's unique. A refreshing map, to say the least. Very accessible, very fun. Love it.

Seems to me
that there are elements of Yahoozy and/or Cerberus in here. Doesnt seem Astheoceansbluey at all, but maybe thats just me.
2009-07-11
Really nice tiles.
Love the center thwump section.
2009-07-11
Great.
Very unique, too.

The gameplay was alright
It's the epic structure that won me over so much. Everything was placed so well, the excellent map that followed seemed a little underwhelming. Nevertheless, faved.
