Answer 1

Mapler Syrup.

I loaded into the map and immediately my eyes hurt.

The dust on the first zetta is placed too far up the slope so you have to hang further left when you land on it and get a sub-optimal slope boost if you want S-completion, which makes me sad.

Somehow the "second"? checkpoint trigger box is placed totally wrong, since I retried that section about 80 times respawning at the top of the Zetta slope and then on one of my deaths, randomly started respawning right by the spike pit.  Of course, that checkpoint is even worse since it spawns you way down on the edge, forcing you to backtrack by walking up the slope and then attempt the 3 mapler slides again.

Answer 2

yeah... that's not the "second" checkpoint after all, it's one that I thought I'd put in for the any% route, since it's really annoying to spawn all the way at the top of the big slope. The hitbox is definitely wrong. I think I'll also change the colors a bit, and maybe make a few smaller changes.

Do people generally fix things, delete an old map, and upload a new one when stuff like this happens?

Answer 3

It depends on the map and the problem, but most people seem to like keeping the old versions up just to preserve the leaderboards, for the people who put in the effort on them.  Deleting a map is like deleting someone else's effort as well, even if the leaderboards and map link still persist [hidden].

Answer 4

I would suggest not fixing that at all.

Answer 5

I was inspired by the "creme brulee" community map pack map

edit: difference is I didn't think that it would look like maple syrup if I made the entities white, so it ended up kinda weird.

Answer 6

That's one of the differences.  The biggest issue is that you can't use max brightness AND max saturation colors for the entirety of the background of a map.  Usually the brightness and saturation both need to be turned down a little for all of it, and only fully saturated colors that are medium to very dark will not burn one's eyes.  The difference between the orange bg of your map and of Creme Brulee is very very stark.

Answer 7

The dust placement was a little annoying, but the map was fun (in a brutally difficult type of way). I'm actually starting to feel somewhat consistent at mapler slides after grinding this which is cool.

Answer 8

Where are my pancakes?

Answer 9

I practiced both that jorf and mapler slides already, hurray.  Best part is I did the jorf twice in the first run that was ss due to missing dust.

Answer 10

I was going to call my map "mapler slice practice" maple syrup too, then I opted for something a bit more straightforward.

That zetta slope and I aren't good friends.

Answer 11

Cool stuff, always love mapler slide levels. Just curious, though, which section of the level does Dustworth make (notably) easier? Assuming the player understands how to mapler slide, I'd say he's the only character that makes this level particularly difficult.

Answer 12

The first prism you encounter is way easier to get over. I'm not sure if you still have to mapler slide even, but if you do you, you don't need to get nearly as good of one... partly because as long as you hit the prism at all, you'll make it up (like dustkid, but dustkid has a harder time actually hitting it in the first place), whereas man/girl might not make it up even after hitting the prism, especially if they have to heavy attack it.

Answer 13

That's fair. I guess it all depends on how used to mapler slides you are.

Answer 14

I was going to play this, but then I saw the color scheme.  I hope other people had fun though!

Answer 15

best map. almost
