1147287 - treeball

The name gives this one away. :)

1111091 - chocolate bridge

Just a race across a chocolate bridge... but watch out for the holes!

1103309 - cheese jump

The cheese jumps along like on Map 60, Cheese Joker.

1100417 - presents

The shaman must push the ball behind an ornament to open the presents with the same color.

1092282 - snowman

A big snowman. :) I thought it was a fun map, I have no idea why it was voted down.

1084667 - secret santa

For the secret santa event, I had "Cripplez"... I had already decided on making a map and was just hoping for an interesting name to work with, and I got one. :) The map was deleted right away, probably for being offensive or something...

1055478 - december single ground

My final contest map. I was debating whether to make this longer or have a trickier pattern, but I decided to stick to the fun but easy theme. We'll see how well it does in the voting.

993961 - december minimap

Inspired by a map of Tooman's, this minimap actually becomes much longer...

993954 - december ball 2

My third idea for a ball map, and the one I chose to submit, it kind of has a juggling feel. Fun but easy, which was my "theme" for this month's contest.

993950 - december ball 1

My second idea for the December ball category. I first tried a map with a large dynamic ball, like the one on the right, but I couldn't get it to be stable enough. So then I thought of doing a static ball, hence this map. I like the symmetry here.

Some new maps. I still have that series of ten or so maps that I'll get to one day.

They added a new "invisible barrier" behind the chat that interacts with mice... and clouds. And I use cloud mechanisms in most of my new maps, so they're all broken, and they've taken a hit voting-wise. Hopefully it gets fixed before they all die.

Just the post-50k maps, as the rest have tons of votes and don't change much in a week. We're almost to a million maps now, wow... I have a new series planned, maybe ten maps. Dunno when I'll get to it though...

910636 - wires self elevator

Pushing the button causes both blocks to move.

909461 - wires down mover

Same issue as with the previous map, but it's a little more forgiving since the block falls here.

907583 - wires up mover

Pushing a button will cause the block to move up, over, and back down. Unfortunately it's a bit sync-dependent, some mice can fall through...

907559 - wires button up lifts

Pushing the buttons will cause the blocks to go up temporarily.

907522 - wires gate

The shaman has the opportunity to really troll mice here.

907483 - wires castle

Like Map 2 Castle but the shaman has a bit more control.

874526 - one way elevator

One set of elevators goes up and the other goes down. It's a bit glitchy, mice sometimes die randomly, but I think it's a cool effect. I made a second map (@909606) that's the same except for mouse/cheese/hole positions, so mice have to ride each elevator twice.

872517 - puzzle 6

Neither of these puzzles are perfect, blocks can get stuck on top of each other, etc., but these maps don't survive anyway, so whatever...

872377 - puzzle 5

I had a couple more ideas for puzzles way back when I was making them, but I didn't have a good way to lift blocks--but now there's water.

Some new updates: I fixed the shifter, made an xml guide and added a post with pictures of all of my maps. I also tried adding a search bar but then the shifter stopped working. I'll try to figure out what's wrong there. Update: Both search and shifting should work now.

I made a new version of long road 2 with the shaman below, but I guess it was still a lot of wall jumping. I might redo some of the wire maps, make them a little easier and shorter. And I still have a few more maps planned in this style.

I made a tribe house for map testing, since it costs nothing to change. I exported one way elevators five times and still wasn't happy with it... Thanks to Varga, Ssk, Bug for helping me get a nice number.

Map Pictures

Here you can see all my maps on one page.

846264 - wires double button door

Here the buttons can only be pushed in one direction. The button on bottom will raise the block and the button on top will lower it again.

845740 - wires button double doors

The doors go up or down depending on which direction the button is pressed.

845034 - wires button double lift

The same mechanics as the previous map. I really like this reloading button thing, and have a few more maps planned...

843126 - wires button lift

Mice push the button one direction to raise the block and the other to lower it.

842637 - wires teleport

The blocks here will only go one direction before "teleporting" back to the other side. The first version I made (842125) was broken for non-sync mice--the top block would jump to different places instead of moving smoothly. I kept it just because it was a cool effect.

841682 - wires sliders

The map shifter/flipper should work now... Here mice push buttons to make the blocks slide back and forth.

838493 - wires half fall then rise

The first button drops the left half of the blocks, and the second button raises them up again.

838300 - wires fall and door trap

The first button lowers the bridge, and the second raises the block, trapping afk mice.

838134 - wires fall then rise trap

The first button drops the blocks, and the second raises them back up.

837820 - wires rope bridge

The button will cause the rope bridge to rise up in defiance of physics...

836321 - wires ball and lift

The left button does the ball bounce thing, and the right one does a continual lift.

836134 - wires double lifts

Each map takes me about an hour to make... Both buttons cause lifts to go up and down continually.

XML Guide

I use the in-game editor plus a text file to make maps, so I end up messing around with the XML a lot. I thought I'd make a post explaining it. Updated March 2012.

833953 - wires rise then rise

The first button raises up the bridge and the second one raises it up some more.

833880 - wires fall then rise

The first trigger lowers the bridge and the second one raises it up again.

832811 - wires explode then rise

The first button explodes the bridge and the second one lifts up a new one.

832399 - wires double rise

Both buttons cause blocks to rise up. Mice must hurry out after hitting the buttons or they'll get trapped.

832053 - wires explode then explode

Mice must explode the first block before they can set off the second one.

831789 - wires double explode

The first of 18 or so "wire" maps. These are mostly updates of old maps or parts of them, exploding traps and bridges, most of which don't work anymore. I wanted to update the original design where mice stood on buttons, and I thought this idea where mice push blocks would work well. I also tried to avoid using shaman objects (anvils) and IF (since blocks at limbo are ugly)... In this map, the buttons trigger the grounds to explode.

809831 - earth maze 2

Made a shorter version but it still was deleted.
