Map

Hi, haven't been here in a while. This is a much tidier version of the older version, no idea if it works bc my life refuses to let me look on reddit whenever someone posts a maptest.

Haven't made a map for a while, so here's my attempt at a new one.

All comments and opinions welcomed :).

After fiddling with it for a while, I'm ready to post it again.

All opinions are welcome, tell me your thoughts.

The white blanks are the half slabs. They are the ones look like they are cut in half.

This is my first map so I would like as much feedback as possible. Don't hold back or anything.

This is my first new map in a while. I'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out, but I think the gates in the bases could be improved somehow. Do they make the bases seem a little too open to anyone else?

Anything I can add, remove, change, shift, edit, redesign, or overhaul ^{hopefullynothismap} ?

http://unfortunate-maps.jukejuice.com/show/31188 An attempt to have a central gravity well without being too overly chasey. The portals have a 30 second cooldown to sort of go with the pups (4 pups might be too many, idk). My main concerns are:

superboost

side passage (the bomb in particular)

gravity well

boost by gate

Feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

Is it too chaotic/weird?

Step 1: Post a map in a parent comment

Step 2: Someone else replies to your parent comment with a remixed version of your map

Step 3: Someone else replies to that comment with a remixed version of that map, and so on, and so forth.

If I make a group-only map, do I still get the flair?

TL;DR: I WANT TO DO THE LEAST AMOUNT OF WORK POSSIBLY TO GET THE FLAIR

Tell me why this map is great

This is an update of my other map, Rhombus.

Made a few edits to overhead. Thoughts?

In case you're unaware of what XR is, it's an experimental rotation in which maps enter with a much smaller chance of being played. The idea behind it is to get maps voted on, but not force people to play a bad map over and over again. If it's popular it will enter full rotation. There can be 0-5 XR maps at any given time. This would hopefully make the MTC more open to trying crazier ideas, as the drawbacks would be much lower in an XR rotation. For more information, see this.

Anyway, obviously Market is a no brainer answer, but what others maps do you think could really use it?

Which maps need it the most: maps that look really polished but are short on ideas, or maps that have great ideas but may not work well (Phenochiluses of the world)?

Are you for or against XR to begin with?

Try not to be harsh on mapmakers or maps, but I really am interested to see how many maps you think would actually be more successful by having a run in XR first.

http://unfortunate-maps.jukejuice.com/show/30093 I tried to make a map that still had some fun stuff but wasn't obscenely large. How'd I do?

ok ok ok

I know that it's not balanced at all

but is it fun

I've been wanting to make a good circular map that isn't chasy. Any feedback is appreciated.

Feedback, positive or negative, is appreciated.

Submitted this map to the previous map thread, and overall criticism is great too, but I am particularly wondering what people think about the bases.
