392709 - slingshot


The ends move closer to the center, then jump out, so mice get shot up kinda like a slingshot.

392113 - rope bridge


A clone of the vanilla maps. If it goes down too far (too much weight), then it'll break. If not, then it's free cheese.

390203 - spaceship 3


Personal spaceships. :)

Contest results should be posted today, or maybe not. We'll see. I voted yes on a bunch of maps, but there were a ton posted (350 or so, I might not have seen them all). Some of my favorites:

@367309 by Mosgi category 1  -- rope bridge trap (inspired me to experiment with rope bridges)
@374914 by Nyoibou category 1 -- exploding, slow motion, lots of stuff -- another trap sampler :)
@364827 by Froi category 1 -- dropping piano etc., originally made for paradigm shift contest
@366893 by Princenarbs category 1 -- smashing faces

@377643 by Viprin category 2 -- neg grav phasing race, hard

@377676 by Viprin category 3 -- race with phasing
@370366 by Ancientmouse category 3 -- red pinned plank, vanilla (I helped a little)
@377501 by Nyoibou category 3 -- renewable large ice blocks

There were a few slow motion maps that were neat, and I wrote down some more trap maps but I don't remember them from my descriptions! A lot of the low/high gravity maps were fun to play. I didn't like any of the Easter maps (category 4).

364131 - april freestyle


A.k.a. Stairs 4. This is just a flipped version of Stairs 2, adjusted to fit the given cheese and hole locations.

364127 - april trap


A.k.a. Trap Sampler. I thought I'd offer a few different traps, to give the map some replayability, and because I couldn't decide on just one. :)

A couple of maps for the contest, plus re-upped Bird. I've been playing in the shaman room and handling its maps the last few weeks.

Apparently all of the invalid rotation maps have been working only for sync. Goat is broken, as well as March Minimalism, which might partially explain why it didn't place. They fixed disappearing grounds right when voting started for the contest, so maybe the IR fix came at the same time.

Groundhog Faith was depermed and deleted, it's one of my favorite maps. Probably one of them that gets the most "WTF?!" reactions, although now lots of other people have used the idea. Bird was removed too, so sad. It's a hard map but a lot of fun. Just checked t4ma.us and it had 78% with 93 votes. Groundhog Faith was 65% with 81 votes. WTF?!

I came across a permed map that was the same as Treadmill, except the anchors showed and it changed directions less often and more predictably (Ykr, Temple). Still not sure why mine failspawns half the time.

And Gravity Experiment 2 was permed, but I don't think it works...
