From contest feedback:
+ Strategic layout and very different from other contest levels
+ Uncommon and balanced weapon/pickup placement
- Huge FPS drops in 8-bit mode for some reason
- The level gameplay centers around the fly carrot too much, also because the only way to get rid of it is by going underwater
- The level feels unfinished and empty in certain aspects, there isn’t much visuality nor scenery in the level
- There is only one exit from the bases unless you have a fly carrot, which makes them quite evil dead ends
/ Seems like it could only work in 3v3, partly due the fly c as well
I’m looking forward to see a more finished version later on. :)
Copy pasted from contest feedback, note this is rated on its suitability for 2v2/3v3
+ Visual appeal
+ Unique to have usage of fly-C and water mechanic, although I really wish it was used better or didn’t feel like the only way to play the level…
+ I really enjoy the small oneway climb areas towards the middle, fun gameplay-wise
- Bases feel like death traps
- I’m not a huge fan of the ammo placement, and it’s even lacking at parts. Toaster feels useless
- Whilst I complimented the fly-C/water concept, I think many of the people I played with mentioned wanting copters instead or a limited duration
- Level feels empty at parts
Other comments:
I recommend 2v2/3v3
I like the fly-C/water concept on paper, but in practice it’s a bit annoying in CTF!
I think ammo should have been unmovable given the layout
While this level is pretty good from a design perspective, I was unsure on its suitability for the mappool
