My latest solo map. No logo as of yet but that's not important right now.

ok ill try and keep it short i took to many screenshots to post right now but basically you need to rethink the gameplay a bit the parts are nice and good ideas but some of them are just not realistic firstly it seems you misunderstand what a 3* map is (for perspective i can do a 3*solo but not a 4*)
Your parts are 80% of them first try parts now for a map thats just 2 min long thats usually fine but this isnt that case place some tp is certain parts not everywhere ofc
Giant start room for what reason? its a solo so its no fun having a 50x50 area of nothingness

Last thing imo the start of a map (first few parts) makes an image for me about the entire map with this its just super tricky shotgun shots and faily everywhere! im not saying the failyness is bad just to much of it is very annoying maybe do something about that

with you and lucid u just want to make very hard/tricky maps as your first ones which i dont understand try making something small and easy just to get some practice on basic mapping things

[Jimmy Jazz The 1st]

Alright well i can make some of it less faily. (Btw you have only finished six 3 star solo maps. 5 of which are un faily. To me that doesnt constitute as being able to do 3 star maps. Not trying to be offensive or anything.)
The map is like 3-4 mins, with mostly the first half being faily.

If you consider these to be 'Super tricky' shotgun parts, then maybe you should practice Aoe's just sg map. Cause for me the shotgun parts weren't that hard.

And its up to me and no one else if i want to make hard maps , because i enjoy the challenge of playing and making them.

Not bad map, but mapped not really well.

Thanks for the test Ninjed.

I changed the 10 jumps part.

I have also made things A LOT less faily. ( I left the first couple of parts faily because i didn't find it hard or that long to get to the unfaily parts. But of course that's still open to opinions.

Regarding the part you did not understand. I added those weapon teles so you weren't able to cheat the part with the shotgun. But i have removed the teles and put the sg a bit after. The idea is to shoot the grenade through the stoppers and use it to get height. Then use the shotgun and the strategically placed jumps to get up. It is tough to get to the rocket correctly, but once you do get it you basically have a few tries because you can constantly get your jump back if you miss the shotgun shots. If the part is still too hard/ confusing, let me know.

*Edit. Forgot the map ._.

Good map but you should use checkpoints for tele 3-9.

[Jimmy Jazz The 1st]

Thanks RayB.

- Cp added for tele 3-9.
- Fixed an entity bug at the finish line and also a design bug.
- Added logo, made by Ravie.

Just a quick look at design (don´t really like the Solo server ^^)

SpoilerShow

I prefer it, when maps are consistent with "here is a cp" and actual placement ..

I suggest changing the spawns to the left (where those "platforms" are) so one can properly see and
enjoy Ravies Logo
I think u should keep the startline and tele 1 a bit more simple or put it on an equal level to finish (and give same proportions)?
Btw cool to see you using ravies pattern thing

Fixed. Yes, I think I reloaded site or sth. I knew, someday those captions will come in handy!

[RayB.]

You haven't attached the screenshots.

[Jimmy Jazz The 1st]

Hey teddi. Thanks for the test. I tried fixing everything based on the caption of your screenshots. I did re arrange the spawn points and fixed the start/ end line.

- Fixed all missing corners.
- Re arranged the jetpack off description so it fits better.
- Hopefully fixed all doodads. Fixed all snowmen and winter doodads. (They seemed to have moved down one tile layer.)
- Not sure about the CP screenshot or the 'not purrfect'.

- I also made cp 3 and cp 5 a tiny bit more challenging.
