EXPERT ONLY If you hate using Guppies, this is not the lvl for you... NOTE -> be carful with the order in which you take out the enemy or you could be stuck waiting a few extra minutes to win.

I must admit this is confusing, These maps are obviously made for experts, says so right on the label. So why are they getting such low scores. Obviously the designer isn't put off by these scores but still I have to wonder. Are the experts not liking them? If so why not?

[BermanPost]

I would like to think it is just sour grapes from people who can't win so auto give it a 1.  Also possible (and maybe even more likely) that I am terrible at making fun maps.

Either way, I make the maps for my own enjoyment (both in the creation and in playing), and figure might as well post them for anyone else who wants to test their skills.

I thought this map was really great!
This was another that took me by surprise, the premise and look of the map seems sloggy and boring at first but I've played over 600 cs maps and this is one of the few that took me over 2 hours to complete, yet still managed to be both interesting and challenging all the way.

Don't worry about the flawed rating system as you are definitely a skilled mapmaker. I really enjoy your maps and hope you make more!

Difficulty is not generally popular in CS, save that it can be prevented by strategy. Your maps are hard directly, without hidden shortcuts.

An additional suggestion: changing the terrain texture makes the map appear more fun, simply by non-default graphics indicating effort in every aspect.

Keep it up.

Yes, it's really cool when a map is just straight-up challenging without tricks or such.

I wasn't as fond of this map as I was others mainly because I enjoy upgrading. Having said that, I admit that with upgrades the challenge would've been reduced significantly, so the lack of upgrades is probably a good thing for what this map is.

I do like that this map teaches how to link guppies to essentially make longer relays.

Overall, great map and another one I'd recommend for anyone wanting an "expert" challenge.  ;D
