Stats as of August 20

I haven't been playing much lately...

I'm surprised they're still using the flash forum. I used to browse the old forums a lot even though I didn't post much. I liked looking through the map and artwork sections, but that seems too hard to do now that you can't open multiple tabs or bookmark links or right click... I don't think it was a big reason why I stopped playing, but I do miss that sense of community.

Anyway, here are the current stats. Most maps have only gotten about 600 votes since I checked four months ago.

blueprint - 1959015 - room to stand

Not a terribly complicated mechanism, but it produces a really cool "shrinking ground" effect:

The "Piston Elevators" map I reference is long dead, but you can see a picture of it here.

2072480 - grass skew

The ground skews left/right which makes it hard to climb. Unfortunately, like a lot of maps, sync and lag can alter the timing by a little bit, and mice can get stuck inside the grass (temporarily).

2036283 - eternal walljump

How to make wall jumping more annoying? Make mice jump up the same walls over and over again... There's extra friction on the right side to help with the wall jumping with cheese.

Stats as of April 18

Not much response for the blueprints so I guess I'll stop them for now. Only about 100 more votes for maps since I checked three weeks ago...

1959015 - room to stand

I redesigned the mechanism for the shrinking/growing ground because lag sometimes causes the timing to be off. (I should probably replace the mechanism in the previous maps but I haven't done so yet.) This map is collision, so mice will have a fierce battle to stay on the grass as it gets shorter and shorter...

1946658 - grass grow 2

Mice must wall jump up the moving grass this time.

1946401 - grass grow 1

The grass grounds grow out then shrink back.

1939321 - cheese chase 2

Mice must time their jumps right to catch the moving cheese.

1933292 - cheese chase 1

Mice must run after the cheese.

1928572 - cursor

Mice must fly off the mouse cursor to get the cheese. (There's two in this screen, can you spot the real one?) This uses a mechanism I've had sitting around for a while.

1910619 - magic carpet ride

Thanks to Seeteegee for the idea for this one.

1908707 - cookie monster

Mice must ride the cookie, which continually flies into Cookie Monster's mouth. The dark clouds and graveyard represent his internal struggles with addiction.

1889794 - peacock

The tail folds up and spreads out, over and over, kinda like what happens with a real peacock...

1886198 - pink teleport

This was a map (or idea) I wanted to make a long time ago, but couldn't because the shaman could easily crash the map. But now we can make grounds that don't interact with grounds or shaman objects, so crashing isn't a worry.

1852784 - puddle drops

Mice must run across the falling circles to get the cheese and come back.

1842291 - countdown

I originally wanted to make a clock that would be accurate and count the whole two minutes, but I realized that that just wasn't possible with 50 grounds. So I settled on doing a countdown from 10. What happens when it reaches 0?

1814267 - underground tunnels

Another map using dynamic invalid rotation, this time with angles around 27000. In this case the shaman/sync sees and feels blocks at their true angle (instead of -8 degrees) and mice/non-sync see and feel them rotated -110 degrees from that. The screen shown is what the shaman sees; mice will see the paths go in the opposite direction, \ / \ instead of / \ /.

1804520 - transparent

The idea for this one came from Buginclaws's @1790464. I wondered if I could make a version where the blocks moved, and this was the result.

blueprint - 1749688 - bunny

I talk about hiding anchors.
