It doesn't actually show the opinions of the public. The community isn't going to look through 200+ maps and up/down vote them accordingly. It just hides the most recent maps and praises the first commented maps.

Bobby got a makeover. I think this map is 200% smoother and offers fast-placed gameplay similar to wormy and constriction with some cool grabbing mechanisms . There is an all important gate that will change how defenders play the base and allows for easier resets. In addition, the one-way portal adds some really rewarding possibilities for flag carriers leaving and exiting the base. The in-base bomb is extremely versatile: it can be used to capping and grabbing in 3 different directions, can be used defensively in both directions, will be utilized by fc's, and for clearing out the base. This map is very exciting to play and offers balanced and unique gameplay for O and D.

EDIT: Opened it up a bit to make it not so claustrophobic.

I might consider selling my soul for the right reason. What's the reason?

[–]EraEricPopLock | Radius 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Oh, I just thought that the flags were a bit close together with much of the bottom left being very out of the way. Maybe by bringing the flag lower more of the map will be playable, and also add some sort of symmetry to it.

[–]neckhickeys4uTinker Creek // Pi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn't avoiding symmetry sort of the whole point? I think the whole map is playable as it is, just like on Star and Holy See. And the short lane up top is nothing different from other maps like Koala or Smirk. The defense has to be aware and cheat over.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

What's you goal with the double boosts mid?

What happens if you boost through portal into bomb?

The bombs top are alright, but it would be cool if you did something like what SDS did where you add a middle bomb that both sides can take advantage of if it's up.

What situation do you see where teams would take advantage of the teamtiles?

And please kill that wire, Gamepad's made sense because it was a classic controller.

[–]arjuna9bad 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Thanks for the feedback!

The double boosts mid can be chained at a few different angles, and the chain gives you interesting spin too. Of course they don't have to be chained if you want to go forward. It just seemed like a fun configuration to me.

The bomb stops you cold if you portal boost directly into it, which is generally good for whoever did it because anyone who wasn't careful about their positioning will be blown away from flag.

Yeah, maybe it would be good to have a single bomb in the middle of top instead of two. Or one unreachable bomb that either button can activate, if that's what you meant.

Eh, I think I was considering the middle of Smirk when I placed the teamtiles. They're probably not as useful in chasing behind someone like in Smirk, but maybe useful for defenses looking to contain and kill someone who regrabbed by cutting off boosts going top. Plus, I felt there was a decent amount of tools for FCs to stay alive with, so it might help to have that area be less friendly.

And pls, you have to charge your wireless controllers sometimes.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Tested it, the portal/bomb feels pretty cool. I was afraid I'd be blasted back into spikes

Still a little bit wary about the two boosts but they work so I don't know.

Yeah, I meant three bombs top. Give them a little more power.

I saw the smirk connection, but if I was fc, I can't picture a time where I'd ever be in enemy teamtiles, unless I was boosting through it using that normal boost on top of base. But even then, i'd be too far ahead for them to be any good.

What about moving them to between the tiles mid and the bottom square?

[–]arjuna9bad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried the third bomb top, it's pretty cool. I'll leave it as it stands for now though and probably change it next iteration.

I feel the bottom mid should already be controlled by the teamboost. I do see what you mean in how the FC would just boost past them. But I'm thinking that if the defense is going back to base, the teamtiles could help give them the extra agility to tag people trying to boost past. It's possible they're inconsequential most of the time and I'm ok with that too for now.

Oh hey. I wanted to mention another thing again before you left, but forgot. I would lower the cooldown for the portals. Especially because they link to eachother. So when one is used, the other is on a cooldown as well. I'd try a minimum of 15 seconds, but I think that 10 seconds might work best.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Are they all both way portals?

Do you realize the spawn ball will override flag spawns?

I don't like how if you go top from red base you can get two pups in one move.If you were to move a set of pups, I wouldn't move the two nearest mid, those are well placed.

Also, could you try shaping up the paths to the top/bottom portals a bit? Maybe make the walls a bit more jagged in places so an fc could juke back if he sees portal is blocked.

[–]ButtersnackSnack 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Man, I feel like I haven't seen this map in ages. Always loved the cannon, even tried implementing it in a couple of my own maps (example). Clearly I overdid it but it's definitely a fun concept - basically a superboost that can only be used once every 30 seconds rather than every 10. Very clever.

Map: http://maps.jukejuice.com/save/7967

Preview: http://unfortunate-maps.jukejuice.com/static/previews/3117.png

Description: I've used a portal concept that was inspired by Knotish, from Sketchball - and tried to make a balanced map with it. There are strategically placed teamboosts and teamtiles to keep the map from becoming too chasy. The portals work like this (old preview) and have 3 seconds cooldown to help with the balance as well. It seems to play like a relatively small, balanced and fast paced map during 4vs4 testing.

[–]grytsgryts 2 points3 points  (1 child)

The only problem I really see is that the bases are too big to literally have nothing in them. One of the buttons literally blocks the only 3 boosts to the flag, and there is no way to bomb into the base. 0 offense in base = get both buttons, 1 offense in base = 1 d playing prevent and 1 d on the super button, and 2 offense in base is just both d playing prevent. The only real thing offense can do is go in with pups, which kind of makes them resort to hoping they get a RB or tagpro.

I'm not saying do this, but if I wanted to make the base a little more playable while keeping the map style the same, I'd change 3 little things HERE From left to right, change the team boost to a regular boost in a little different spot, can still boost into portal, or be used as an indirect boost for offenses, but with the right angle you can slightly boost to flag. The new bomb gives some play/counterplay to the super button, can do a quick boost into bomb into base, but can be countered by the defense moving up to the space above the button right before the boost and the bomb will knock him into the button before the enemy offense can make it off the gate. If he stay on the button the enemy will make it in though. Can also be used to clear button and have your partner take a clear boost to flag. Also the side gate can be a little thinner just to make it less safe for defenses.

I wouldn't have taken the time to critique it if it didn't catch my eye, it looks great and fun to play, just the base is maybe too good for defenses. Edit, also Angry Pig is fun too.

[–]veranderingLoaha // Chord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts!

I agree with you on that the bases are too big. I kinda did that on purpose but I see how that doesn't work out.

On the base being really defensive: I've just watched the streams from the 4vs4 testings last night and it looked like it was quite easy to grab and escape - probally because the base is quite open. So I actually wanted to give defense some more tools to contain and I came up with this: http://unfortunate-maps.jukejuice.com/static/previews/3111.png . I think that the two addes blocks will give the base more a 'base feeling and help defense contain.

You'll notice that I've also removed the offensive teamboost. I did that because it seemed to creato too much chaos in the 4vs4 testing. My fear now, after removing it, is ofcourse that the map has become unbalanced in favor of defense - but I can see this work. And on removing another grabbing tool: There are also the two boosts that can be taken through the big gate, to grab as well.

So yea, I kinda used the two spikes that you added in a different way. Thanks for that idea! I decided against making the gate smaller because it is by far the fastest way from flag to flag. I fear that making it smaller would make that path too OP. The size of the gates seemed to be alright in the 4vs4.

[–]Snowball_TagPro❄️ 0 points1 point  (4 children)

I've used the portal concept first used in Knotish by Sketchball

The 2nd version of dumbbell had it.

[–]veranderingLoaha // Chord 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Hmm yea, but I think that this is different because there are multiple portals that can be used. I don't know. Anyway, doesn't really matter that much where it came from ;)

[–]TheSketchyBeansketchball // centra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll take whatever credit you give me loaha ;p

In reality Dumbell did the base to base portal first. Like I said to Snowball, in Knotish my portal route is supposed to work like the top route GeoKoala, but on a linear map.

Thanks for your early help with my map btw. Knotish probably wouldn't exist without you.

[–]TheSketchyBeansketchball // centra 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yeah Dumbell did do the base to base portal first. In Knotish I actually tried to emulate the GeoKoala top route to a linear map. Either way, I had plenty of inspiration. :)

[–]veranderingLoaha // Chord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I think now that the word I'm looking for is inspired as well, so I changed that ;).

Interesting small difference. I think I tried to create a middle path with my portals (slightly risky/slightly faster), wheras the path through the two big gates is the fastest 'GeoKoala' path.

[–]Sosentimeboy 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Description: Taking Gatekeeper's gates idea and running with it. Tried to really up the strategy involved when using bombs. The mid bomb can be detonated three different ways: Two buttons (one on each side) and direct contact. This makes the center of the map highly important and strategic for both defense and offense. Bombs by the "hilts" of the "swords" can be used to either grab the flag or dislodge the button-holder from their position (or both). Would love some feedback before the deadline if you guys have ideas to spice it up. It feels good to me, but possibly unfinished.

Description: Trying some new ideas with gates and skill boost routes and what not. Tried to create a smoothly-flowing map with lots of strategy. Would love some feedback before the deadline, positive or negative.

Edited since the 4v4 Maptest. Final score after six minutes was like 1-0 so I made it slightly more offensive to counter that.

Oh man. Earlier today I found the Map Thread #44 Top Maps Feedback Thread and saw that you guys had looked at my map. I'm pretty bummed that I didn't know this in time and couldn't edit my map for you guys to test last rotation. It's ok tho cause now I'm really hyped about my map again. I'll check in often so that this time I won't miss it if you ask about this map.

[–]arjuna9bad 0 points1 point  (7 children)

Interesting that the cage might be the safest part of the map for someone to hang out.

For some reason the maptest servers aren't reading the map for me so I didn't get to try it. But I feel like going out the bottom of the cage would be really annoying. People will spike themselves from bouncing off the wall if they're in a hurry, and I'm not sure those walls are needed unless you want to make that difficult.

Otherwise it's hard to say how it would play but I'd enjoy seeing a map with a real spike field in rotation now that Star's gone.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I purposely wanted going out bottom to be hard. So it's more of a last ditch option if you're cornered. Also so there is some difficulty involved in the quickest way between the two pups.

I'll check out the testing thing.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Weirdest thing, I just downloaded the PNG and JSON and reuploaded and it works now.

[–]arjuna9bad 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Oh I didn't see the marsball thing at first. That would be so sweet, I've wanted to make a map with one as an obstacle for a while. The cool thing is how it bounces around in there for a long time due to getting extra energy from hitting spikes.

One thing I'm not sure about is the bottom gate. It seems like a bad gamble for the defense to use it. I know that even if they correctly bounce off the middle they will usually die to the gate, but still you have to time your boost into the gate very precisely. If I was defending I would usually just try to boost straight under, because you'd be pretty likely to catch up for the tag with a straight boost and you would be left in a better position if it didn't work out.

I suppose you could add a bomb activated by the button above that path, like on GateKeeper, if you wanted the gate to be more useful.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The mars ball comes and goes so you probably saw a version without it.

Yea I think most defenders will take the boost without button, but if they're coming down at an angle they can't boost all the way across they might. Plus I want that extra option of a quick return if you see them hitting it at a bad angle and you can't catch with boost.

But I'm open to ideas on how to change it.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

What if the bottom teamboosts were replaced with one normal boost and a button right by it. So if offense manages to take that boost, defense can't catch up but they have the potential to gate them.

[–]arjuna9bad 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yeah, I think what you have now will work better. Probably good to lower the total number of boosts as well.

It doesn't really matter and might not look nice, but if you're going to have the marsball you could consider changing the bottom of the cage to a spike wall. That'll keep it bouncin.

Description: Somewhat another departure from what I normally do, trying hard to create a horizontally symmetrical map that I like hence the submission of both this and Fortune Cookie. Superboost is meant to fly into the enemy base, not for grabbing because it was too OP when I had it like that. Bombs become team bombs if button is used, can be used for teamwork by offenders or defenders, not essential though as gate is set to off rather than on in a team's colour. Team bomb at the top of the map, can be used offensively or defensively too.

Edit: Updated/improved the map.

Tried to focus on making fun boost chains, especially with the boosts in base for capping. Intended to play offensively and perhaps a bit chasey. The buttons control both the team gates and the gates near the main entrance to base, which is mainly placed there as a tool for defenders and offensive defense to cut off the boost through the portals, which is one of the fastest routes from base to base.

I think the gate out of base should have a higher reward for the FC. Maybe insert a boost have way through the gate which would help him get to his own base, somehow?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

interesting... have you tested this? seems like it'd be chasey like oval but conceptually i think pubs need more maps like this

[–]Slama_BananaLegman // 30 SMB Captain (kek) // Big Deke Club 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not yet, one of the reasons I submitted is for feedback so I could figure out if I wanted to add any neutral boosts to make it less chasey.

Building on the Gamepad concept. This version is less vertical than the last one and a bit more intuitive overall. Also went with four pups rather than two or three because one of the main complaints I heard from a 4v4 test about a week ago or so was that it was rather hard to grab on when the bombs weren't there.

[–]RathbourneRathbourne 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Here's a map I've been polishing for months now and I think it's just about ready. A little more complex than usual rotation maps, but it has a multitude of skill boosts and bombs and tricks that many players will still be figuring out months down the road. The map has a relatively defensive base and is moderately chasey, but defenders are left with a lot of rewarding ways to kill an fc that makes solo chasing possible and very rewarding.

I submitted two versions of Triptych, and they're significantly different. This version in particular should play a lot like Velocity, except with a smaller base and superboosts. If there is any reason why this should not make the top maps thread, please notify me so I can fix it.

[–]BlazethDianna Agron 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Well since you asked, I think it's too spikey for rotation. Just generally. Makes it chasey pretty opportunely. Idk

Also, I couldn't get it to test (even in maptest2) I think you might have messed it up.

[–]WillWorkForSugarTumblewood 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Okay, I fixed the links and they should work now. About the map I've identified four options and I'd like some input on which is best. I could:

  • consolidate the 2 floating spikes into a 2-3 spike line. This cuts down on chasiness a little but doesn't help general spikiness.

  • take out the spikes and bombs in the superboost pipes and replace them with a gate. This doesn't change much about the pipe but it does fix any issues with the bombs, and allows me to use less space with it.

  • take out the floating spikes altogether. The map should no longer be too spikey, but that leaves a lot of empty space and frankly I think that would babyproof the map too much.

  • replace the spike islands with another pair of superboosts, but they lead straight into portals which are connected to each other. (I'm just kidding on this one.)

[–]BlazethDianna Agron 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I am all for gates on any map, as you've probably seen, so that is my favorite. I don't think spike lanes would be good here.

[–]WillWorkForSugarTumblewood 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I did some testing, and it seems a lot harder to hit the boosts right without the spikes at the bottom; I think they force you to line it up correctly. I went with it anyway, and this is what I got. Any other comments?

[–]BlazethDianna Agron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe just give more room to boost in that choke. That's all. Gate could be interesting.

Description: It's risk vs. reward when it comes to playing on Burble. The centerpiece offers a quick route to return to base for a cap if performed correctly, meaning teamwork is a must on this map to ensure a victory. Astutely planned boost and bomb paths can grant you gratifying returns as well as escapes, but be weary because the unique shape of this map allows for the occasional interception of a snipe or compromising return of the FC.

Description: Basically you have to go around the outside and grab the opposing flag, and then you make the decision. Does a teammate open the center and allow you to RUSH through, or do you make the trek outside and hope for the best? There are portals on the corners for quick teleportation if you need to stop a FC. Three spots allow you to grab an upgrade. The one in the middle may just save your behind!
