Flux by Pulsar [Moderate]

[Pulsar]

Hi,
I've made some short moderate map, probably 4*. Thanks to Ravie for logo and design.

Tested with fikmesan and Ravie.

Hey
Design is good. Nothing special, just good.
Noobfilter is short and ez - i like how it works.
Tbh i (and i guess meanwhile a lot of people know that) hate drag parts. But i just love how you used the stoppers there so im totally good with it. The parts are creative. It's good that there are some other parts between there and not only drag parts, so it's not boring for 1 tee all the time.

The really only part i don't like in this map because it don't reflects the good new fresh quality it got is this one:

I know that from at least 2 maps, so it would be nice to see some new short rocket part there

Also i don't like this part bcs i know people will rage (me too) because it's just annoying to get the tee up there.

Maybe you could do something there with stoppers to?

Good map and for sure good enough for release.

@Silex
Thanks for test.
For now I've just put stoppers in this second part, but not in this way. It would be even more annoying cause the dummy most likely would get stuck under ht and you wouldn't even have a chance to hammer again
I'll think of some better nade part.

Fixed minor design bug at cp 16 and one cheat.
I'm gonna leave this last solo as it is now.. It's just a filler anyway so doesn't really matter that much.

Should be ready now.

Hey all,

this is my review of the map Flux by Pulsar:

Design:

Clean desing with a fresh new look of new entities design. Good blue and grey color variation. Almost a minimalistic design. Some round corner freezes seem to be a bit pixelated but that should not be a big of a problem. Overall I rly like it even there is not much going on as for animation. It does not need to be.

Parts/Gameplay:

Good parts with a touch of fresh new air. The concept of some parts have been made endless times but the execution for each is a bit different everytime. Feels good to play. One or 2 parts were at some point harder than the difficulty overall but still good balance.

The really only part i don't like in this map because it don't reflects the good new fresh quality it got is this one:

I agree with Silex on that. I could provide you with an idea, which I have in mind. Hit me up if you wanna know more.

Bugs/Exploits:

No bugs/exploits found by me. At least one more should look out for them as I am bad at finding some~

For the rating:

- Brain: 1/5
- Skill (Difficulty): Moderate 3
- Look: 4/5
- Faily: 1/5

Tested it with jao.

Basically the map contains only 5 drag parts (and a few standard fillers which we have seen various times in other maps).
The drag parts are nice to play and feel fresh, but all of them use the same basic hook in the same direction and there aren't any variations without stoppers. Thus the map feels repetitive.

All in all the difficulty is definitely not on Moderate level, but lower Brutal. This map should be either extended a lot or (which I would suggest) the drag parts used in another Brutal map.

Additionally, there are some issues like to-tele on the ground and bad looking markings.

lel tested it 5 min after ur post too. like hi leute said, to-tele on ground is not good.
and the map is very short

@Rico
Thanks for test and review. Gonna change this part, thanks for suggestion ^^

But still every part uses different pattern. I don't really mind that some hook is almost always the same. Players will not even notice that while playing.

Meh.. Of course this is moderate level.

Additionally, there are some issues like to-tele on the ground

Do you mean the one after start line? It's tele back in case other tee fail jump. Should I be evil and remove it?

@fokkonaut
Thanks for test

PS. map's length is fine

[StorмPʜöɴix]

Parts are indeed quite harder, Mod5* is fine tho, but it would be no problem to add them up on a Brutal 1-2* Map. The thing about the map is that its too short. Dont get me wrong its not necessary a bad thing, but it just dont match up the map. It rather looks unfinished. Please add some more Parts so this map is at least 2,5-3x as long.

Tested the map with the mapper. New version should follow soon.
