Review time!
I am normally afraid of everything unnatural in my surrounding but this spooky map has a special taste: addiction. Entering the ghost house, you don't know that you've already woken the spiders with a loud noise. They are lurking behind their webs, willing to scare you immensely. When you are in panic, Cobwebs by rocket_thumped will be your coffin nail. Fast actions and teleporting to another creepy parts are required if you want to quit this nightmare. Better than every horror movie!
MY TURN!!!
-----
Opening with a quick run through a switch field corridor, this map doesn't entirely scream Ghosty, in fact, it almost says Muse. But, as you voyage out into the wide open space and encounter your first 'spider', you enter into a gold-grabbing tango with tight jumps and lethal stakes, in true Ghosty fashion. As you make your way across the arena to the tunnels below where you must fly to the spider infested attic, nabbing switches, only to make you way back to the same place twice over, all the while opening the gates to your final escape.
-----
also, i would like to commend the lack of ghost drones... cuz they're just too cliche...

I'll go second, then.
Here's mine:
Beginning with a disappearance of all the map's locked doors, you might think: "Something smells fishy around here." You are immediately thrown into a chasing game with floorguards following you everywhere. You really need to utilize those bounceblocks so kindly provided by rocket_thumped to collect all the gold. But were they a kindness? I think not. Rather, they add an extra challenge: memory. You have to remember where those crafty little floorguards went.
What's this? A teleporter? How convenient. You are thrust up to the keys, which open the path to the door key. Lovely.

Well I'll go first:
My review:

With a little knowledge of floorguards, it is not a huge mystery about why there are so many doors. But it brings a fright every time the floorguards come after you. In fact, every aspect of this map has that tendency: you know what's happening but still that fear comes even on the tenth run through. Perhaps it is the way the map is built: three teleporters, series of bouncy blocks, and amazing tile set. Maybe it is the differences between the calm parts and the hectic parts. Regardless, this will make you pee your pants before too long.

Not necessarily feature worthy.
The concept might seem new to others but it felt like a MidnightGetaway map with more polish and better aesthetics. The doors immediately tipped me off it was going to be a floor guard gimmick map.

No feature and no userbars?
2010-07-23
the double rows of floorguards
really did it for me. really nice map. kept forgetting where they were though (which was a good thing)
2010-07-23
By the way,
do we get userbars?

I was genuinely afraid of the floorguards
Because I had absolutely no idea where they were hidden. Definite winner had the aesthetics fitted the theme better.

really cool, i loved how you how the FGs hid behind bounceblocks and all actually, meant you had to keep on your toes. The spider rebuilding web thing is a cool idea also. nice

effortlessly cool, and clever. But it just doesn't quite work. Hiding the floorguards under the bbs meant that you could easily lose track of where you left them, meaning you have to be far too cautious. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I just /really/ wanted to be able to fling myself around a bit more.
also, if anyone noticed, the floorgaurds are supposed to be spiders, and every time you fall through the cobwebs, they scurry past to rebuild them.

which creates a more rigid structure, which therefore creates more linear pathing.
i apologize, i'll try to mix it up.
