Novice 3*
Best Novice map so far. Only positive feedback so far. Already tested with novice players and they love it.

I played this map through, and I have to say that many parts are very confusing (at least for novice players). Parts aren't awfully unbalanced, but are often very tight. Design doesn't look too good, but mostly good enough, aside from a few cases, for example: What on earth is going on with the parallaxed background on spawn? The cowboy hat looks very bad and buggy (floating pixels etc.), and it's resolution is way too big for it's purpose, resulting in increased file size. The signs with arrows also look bugged. About difficulty I think the map is definitely not novice 3*. In general I'm not sure this map can be released, but that's not for me to decide. :roll:

Why does your introduction post consist only of lies?

The parallax effect makes me dizzy and the hat is really annoying imo
If it has to stay, at least make it look good

I think the disabling freeze stuff is extremely confusing, I don't think its good
In general I find that some of the switch interactions require better explanation

I like that you have to use brain to solve the parts
I know that not everyone likes those types of maps, but I don't think its a bad thing to have a greater variety of maps. I think some players would enjoy this type of gameplay as well

Personally, I'd like to see a more polished version of this map

First at all thanks for testing^^

Fixed:
The cowboy hat, thx to tropo
The Background at spawn, thx to tropo
Added an Info Text before start "This map contains complicated parts bla bla bla"
Added more Text messages
Added an hint in the rocket part (where everyone stucks)
Made the cowboy hat HD so you can turn it off

I think this map is defnetly novice 3*. It's nearly unfaily even if you go the wrong way (what nearly is impossible when you follow the signs and hints^^) you can always go back. When you still think this map contains parts that are over Novice 3* then show me the parts and please considering that it is ok when you can't do parts first try as novice player^^

Freezestyler and Jao:
Next time maybe don't troll and people will take you serious ;)

Jao:
SpoilerShow
"Best Novice map so far." my opinion
"Only positive feedback so far." beside you two trolls the feedback was only positive and why should I take you serious when you were trolling?
"Already tested with novice players and they love it." You saw me testing it with a novice player...

So where is the lie?
Freezestyler and jao I am sorry when I hurt your feelings, I know you had an problem with my testing method. I hope we can forget this now and focus on testing^^

If your map "contains complicated parts" it kind of can't be novice by default :lol:
-Negative feedback = trolls

Ok but this map isn't complicated anymore... I added enough text to solve this problem.
