Bad map, the parts are bland, plus it's quite small. Try making maps with more movement, more hooks, etc.

Hey! I see you uploaded a couple maps alredy. You can try to see some recent released maps or see some ready maps in testing to get an idea of what are the testers looking for

https://ddnet.org/releases/ (maps like flower or monochrome are good examples)

Sneaking bloom is crazy

Anyway try to make much longer maps and then upload it

i mean its a ready map lol

I know

But still it’s your own map

this map is too short and doesn't offer anything particularlyt interesting, so ur goals should be :

1. make one interesting part
2. make several more until the map is near average length of other maps in that category (~10 minutes for novice)

most people in testing have played lots of maps, so they won't consider something interesting if they have seen it before, the best way to judge this is by playing lots of maps yourself

this map in particular has some great ideas with drgagers and moving lasers, but they aren't developed on much. you shouldn't use special entities as a crutch though, the sg and laser offer nothing here. try taking a look at how https://ddnet.org/mappreview/?map=Grell focuses on gameplay using hookthrough and freeze

this map is fully soloable as well, novice maps are expected to have some duo gameplay, but if you wanted to make a solo map you should look at solo server instead
