This is a solo maze map, I don't know if DDNet would release such a map, but worth a try I guess. :) Fun to speedrun.

Only two maps per mapper allowed. Locked until Lavender or Swedish is ready for release or declined.

Checked with Stormphönix and some others.
I don't think we need such a map, there is already a NUT maze map anyways. It's not good run for speedruns either since the tunnels are not straight, also you could create an entities background for "cheating" it. Maybe it would fit on the Fun server.

Might just be me but id like to hear it from Stormphönix what his opinion of the map is and some screens of what u think is so wrong with this map
Because lets be frank here Jao you have been declining more maps than people are making that why you think its still a good idea to take 4 year old maps and release them
on this map in particular no one could post anything or give their opinion until you posted this and unlocked it
SpoilerShow
This rule about having ONLY 2 maps i think you must have it wrong i think it works better if its RECOMMENDED to have only 2 maps to give others a chance, not forced upon the mappers they cant help if they are creative and want to map more

@stompie sure. you are right, no problemo tho. The thing is i cant really post Screenshots, because well. It all looks the same, which isnt the reason why it got declined ofc. To be honest i dont think this map is bad, but its just a plain idea that got used already, not only on ddnet but also on normal Server in whole Tw. If we take the mazemap from NUT(s)? Clan you barely (almost never) see someone playing there. Instead of this people are only avioding this map. I mean sure this map is a bit diffrent, and not that big, but as long we dont have something as a "lobby" where people mainly chat and meanwhile search for the exit i dont see why this map should be released to be honest. Its just nothing special, its just walking around and serching for the exit without anything in between. If you add up something unique that makes this map cool and fun to play, i just dont know if this is worth the release on ddnet, based on this high standard. And its aint hate against fikmesan, because i get along pretty well with her, its just that this map is way to plain.

Come back with something more exitcing fikmesan :)
And about the 2Maps per Mapper. I think its just fine. Releaseing Maps here is very time-consuming, instead of posting a new map you rather should try to improve everything on their oder maps. I mean if you are releasing more than 2 maps at once i assume you are a quite expierenced mapper that should know by himself IF he plays with other people who dont know the map, what could and should be improved. In this way you can "test" you map already way before you acutally post it on ddnet. We just aint got enough tester here. (And your new maps aint get released earlier that way anyways)

Add a rocket and remove the edges and it's a nice speedy map.
