Good visuals, well constructed, solid theme. Looks like it might be fun.

Main criticism is the lack of vertical variation: the map feels very flat. I’d say it’s going to be hard to ‘fix’ the issue on a map this late in development, so perhaps just keep in mind for the next one. Not too keen on the hidey-holes… not to my taste.

Thanks for the feedback. Not sure what you mean by hidey-holes, if that pit under the pipes, then that’s a gameplay element. Players will take risk when go for the MegaSphere. I noticed that the hallways are not as high as regular D3 maps, but I come from Kingpin community and 128 units height used to be enough to jump around. I will keep that in mind for my next map. Some people actually liked the tight hallways, because it’s good for shotgun/plasmagun fights. I’m planning to release final version this week.
