MAP
Dm Island Space . . . . Author Kick! . . . . review by Flapjax
PROS
* unimaginably creative - a cornucopia of eye candy
* successful array of (?)asteroid(?) placement (simple but amazingly effective)
* can peek into teleporters before committing (may not be a pro for you)
CONS
* stark in structural inclusion; i.e. where's to go ?
* can't readily jump between asteroids (something I found a desire to do)
* some asteroids are too dark - especially after popping in via a bright light
teleporter
COMMENTS
This is the most bewildering map I have yet seen. Not heavy in scope but
OverTaxed in
creativity. The author *claims* this is only his second map. If that is true — I
am holding my
breath to see his/her tenth !!! What the map leaves out in size and depth it
compensates for in
sheer beauty. Gameplay is fast and dangerous - if just due to the, less than
defined, edges of the
asteroids. LOL, if you have two left feet like me, you'll spend a lot of time in
free space on your
way to your splattered destiny. There is a continual "surprise" element dashing
from one asteroid
to another because of the close-and-(bloody)personal encounters. Pickup items
are plentiful and
refresh quickly. Health is abundant. THAT's GOOD because you'll need plenty. I
think it will
take some time to get the feel for HOW to play this map. Even for it's
shortcomings and
limitations ... I recommend EVERYONE look at this map. You may not play it long
but you
will measure every other map by it's audacious concept. Kick! - please make more
maps. d:-)
