What are the odds that if you send a packet through an area full of creeper it will survive? Play this map to find out XD
Let me be the first to congratulate you on an absolutely insane map! :) Wonderful. How you did that is totally awesome and cool.
Props to you.
I built a microrift before picking up the capsule.

LOL, of course you did. But it was still funny as heck to observe the little packet traveling as it did. Took a lot of careful design I'd say.
It was fun to watch
I had to watch. It took me a moment to realize how you were making it move all over the place. Awsome map, if not just because of that... ;)
Rather clever map Id have to say. Took some careful timing Id bet. Did you use trial and error to set it up, or did you do something extremely clever?
Wow, brilliant! Reminds me of the user-made PF tracks on Trackmania (if you don't have Trackmania, it's worth downloading it - for free - on Steam just for those, you just press forwards and amazing things happen).
Very inventive use of micro rifts too ;)
Owh dammit, of course I should have disabled microrifts :)
Thanks for all the (positive) comments. I used calculations to time the events roughly, and then used trial and error to fine tune everything. All in all it took me quite some hours to make.
i followed your instructions and nothing happened at all, did i miss out on something cause i did like you said and ti did nothing
Yea same for me. It just didnlt release a packet.
Did you pause the game while the starting message was there? If you have even minimal times inbetween it won't work properly.
Ha. Thats epic.
Now make another one but tell us to fully upgrade packet speed before we release it ;)
wow ... just wow ...
just how long did you have to research the packet movement to be able to put this together ?
this must have taken a while spent 5 times just cause i was so ammazed... i'll go do it again
LOL, wonderful map. I played through it twice, just because it was so cool. Am I the only one who kinda feels bad for that little packet, it just wanted to pick up it's capsule, and it gets chased all over the place! lol.
After all the positive comments I read this custom map just had to be the first try myself. LOVE IT! 8)
Very cool what you did and very inventive. I like it when someone spends that much time and effort just to present something great to watch. Thanks for that!
Definitely gonna try your other maps as well! :)

Maybe you forgot to select the capsule in your excitement? ;)
i know this is way back in the list. but awesome level! with the new update you have to go in, restart, and then during the black screen, press "p" and then click now just click the capsule and unpause
epic packet boss ^^
I just discovered this map. It is amazing. It deserves many many more thumbs ups.
Thanks for everyone who still submits comments long after I uploaded this map. I still sometimes come back to this thread and read the comments again (it "somehow" always makes me happy). I guess that most of the thumbs down are from players who expect a real map (although this map can be played as a real map).
Special thanks to TheBlaster for providing the way to play this map with the update. You need not to restart, as long as you pause the game already (press P) at the black screen.

Well then, here's one that's REALLY late to the party.
That was a blast. By the end I was cheering the poor little packet on. Thanks!
Somethings wrong with my gameplay ?? (sorry for bumping such old topic :o)
I am not able to get it. In start i pause the game instantly, nano seconds before start, and click on capsule. but nothing happens. I had to build a rift and cleared, but that one packet journey never happened.
bottom line is already filled with creeper when game starts. please help what am i doing wrong?

In start i pause the game instantly,
Pause
before starting the game!

Thanks, got it. needed to pause when the game start black screen comes. This map is so beautiful :wipes tears:
I feel like I'm being punked here ... I must have reset this and tried 8 times. Never released a packet. Tried the moment I left the opening screen. And I guess if I am being punked I must deserve it - I'm apparently a sucker.

Just tested this (i have great memories of this being one of the most clever maps ever).
If you pause, click on the capsule and then unpause, a packet will flow.
