While a lovely chill map to play, it's in no way actually harder than any of the other microrift maps... just longer. Length and difficulty are two different things.

From a game performance perspective, this is an absolutely terrible map.

Microrifts all form a zero-distance graph for packet routing and as such each packet that needs to be routed will look at *all* the microrifts to decide the shortest path for the packet.

Yes, you are right. Not harder, just longer. Thanks for playing.

I noticed I had a lot of lag by the end of the map. Thanks for telling me why.  I imagine shift-x'ing the un-needed microrifts might help.  I'll keep this in mind with future maps - don't over-require them.
