Description Stay with me tonight, holy parasite.

This map was featured on 2014-07-13

The Seraphic Clockwork ticks as the time runs out. Everyone knows that death approaches but most never realize how close it is. How soon will it be your skull that sits by itself, rotting away until you are forgotten forever? Enemies you have never met will always chase you as you run from place to place trying to escape the inevitable. But at some point time will catch up and your clock too will run down. — Etothetaui

this doesn't play anything like the yahoozy map

ashamed of you blackson
This isn't impossibly hard.

and yet another impossibly hard map is featured...

hey you guys, this is kind of like a map yahoozy made once, just thought i'd point it out since no one noticed.
There's excess everything here.

Proper Speedrun Now

Think this is the best route. Still much improvable.

*seemed to lack

is what i meant to write...
I think blackson's comment was on point. I'm going to be a bit more critical though, and channel my inner-doghouse [nmaps.net].
Too many drones.
You could have gotten away with half the amount. There was enough to induce lag on my computer, which is never a good sign, and not only that, but it actually hindered the flow of the map and created annoying bottlenecks. The tiles themselves were okay, but they see lacked a bit of aesthetic consistency. I realise that it can be difficult when you're limited by tile choice, but it was something that struck me, albeit a minor issue. All in all, a stilted map that was let down by unrefined game-play mechanics.
Well deserved for this magnificent gem!
I will just quote myself from my comment on November 29th 2012 and say that this map "Was very to play 5/5"

Here is a map

that I meant to be a rip off. [nmaps.net]
I'm not saying this map isn't similar to Yahoozy's. It has a skull, lines of oneways, and zap drones. They indeed share some characteristics. But it was not used for (conscious) inspiration, and it absolutely is not a rip-off. The use of oneways like this points to some sort of subconscious influence, but I set out to make my own map and I did. Similar or not, this is a map of mine and it's one I'm damn proud of.

And thanks to Hooz for being understanding about it. :)
although very well put together
4/5

I dig it! thank you very much, man.

here's some tiles. you might not like them since it's symmetrical but idk: http://pastebin.com/0UZ8DJge
Top 5, maybe not.
and i like how the drones always keep you on your toes. tileset is great too. AGD would be really hard to do.

Na, but when the skull and overall theme and feel of the level is pretty much identical, it's pretty safe to say.

First thought when I saw the thumb was Yahoozy's map. Very clearly inspired by, consciously or not.

i agree

i don't even remember us ever having a direct conflict. it's been more observing each other's conduct then criticizing each other, haha

new page for sure!

you know

having a style helps one be original, at least visually

xD

...

...this is tight...

...5/5...

been working on a mappack which is why I haven't submitted anything in a while haha. speaking of which, would you be interested in a collab for said mappack?

this map is huge. you really have to look at each drone section individually to not get fucked. very cool and challenging.

I love these kinds of drone maps; this one has very good gameplay. Also the aesthetics are great.

Also, it's very different than the Yahoozy map. No rockets, has more mines and structures. Preformed very well.
<Rose> Hey flag.
<Rose> Just so you know, all I did was name my map after the album that inspired it.

zoas: <3

Rose, you're supposed to feel that you're a good mapper. ;)

also, "the clockwork resembling a seraphim" doesn't mean a damn thing

parts of this were really interesting (the top) and parts were monotonous
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO FEEL?

i find this

more fun than yahoozie's :D

4.5^ :P
It is still fun and different (good way).
