  1. The map is built with a large use of special tiles, in places where it was possible to do without them
  2. Don't find anything unique in this map.
  3. The map feels a bit disconnected and lacks a solid structure. It throws a lot of different mechanics at the player, but they are used for such a short time that it feels like a collection of random ideas rather than a cohesive level
  4. I think there isn't enough space on your map for Team 0. If people actually start playing it, it’s going to be complete chaos
  5. There is a large imbalance between different parts of the map; sometimes a part feels like Novice 2, and sometimes it spikes to Moderate 1
  6. Also map contains skips on parts.
  7. For me, the design looks uncomfortable to play because there is too much contrast on the tiles. Also your map doesn't have a proper BG, it's just a dark-grey quad

Overall: The map feels unfinished in terms of both GP design and visuals. Right now, it plays more like a rough compilation of random ideas rather than a polished, cohesive map. Due to a complete lack of structure, massive difficulty spikes, uncomfortable tile contrast, and missing background elements, the map is declined. Technical issues like skips and poor spacing for T0 also need a complete rethink.

I highly recommend focusing on a consistent difficulty level, fixing the shortcuts, cleaning up the tile contrast, and adding a proper BG. It might also be really helpful to play through some of the recently released Novice maps just to get a better feel for how they flow and how a consistent difficulty should actually feel
