This is a map I made, based on a popular finnish summer game called Mölkky, known as Finska in other countries.

Thank you for checking out my submission! If you have any advice, critique or just anything to say that you feel like saying then please share it here! I would greatly appreciate it

The theme on this is iffy. It is original, but the real life thing is s simple object, and that makes the build suffer. If this gets rejected, I'm certain it will be because of that. But for what you had to work with, the build is alright.

The parkour is fun and diverse. I don't have much to say about that, other than this vine jump:

Its not that it doesn't fit the difficulty, or is too hard, its that I don't find it that fun. There's a fairly difficult jump after this, so there is going to be a lot of going back to the previous checkpoint, and this jump just slows the process down a lot. I'd like you to consider replacing this, maybe with a medium-ish jump?

Overall, a decent map

Thank you for your comment! I can't say that I understand what you mean with the build suffering from the theme, but I would like to. Do you have any way to explain it differently since I don't quite get what you're trying to say? (This isn't because of you and rather just that I don't get what you mean with that)
The part you were complaining about is completely understandable, even though it is a short checkpoint. I'll try to make a change!

Thanks

What I meant by that was since the real object lacks any unique feature or details, the build will also lack any unique feature or details. I see that you added your own detail by mixing up the wood types on the build, but you aren't really able to add more detail past that. It's sort of like what happened with your sudoku map, it was accurate to the theme, and had nice detail for what you were able to do, but the build just wasn't enough, not to say that it wasn't nice.

Anyway, thanks for appreciating my criticism

Now I understand what you mean, and I can agree to some extent. The Sudoku build was pixel arty and simple but I think this build is MORE detailed than that one and I think that this build is DETAILED ENOUGH. Not very detailed, but detailed enough. I can however be very wrong.

I thank you for your criticism! I'm always trying to improve so it's very appreciated

Hello GamersDecision,

I regret to inform you that your map is being rejected.
The theme is original, as we don't have any "Finska" related maps, so good job on that!
The build is the main concern here. While being accurate for what you were going for, it is quite plain, and the wood makes it a bit messy throughout. I also think there could be more detail on the grass/outside of the actual game itself.
The parkour is varied throughout, and incorporated with the theme quite nicely. The length of the map and difficulty of the jumps both fit the expert difficulty quite nicely!

Thank you for submitting your map, I would love to see more submissions from you!
Have a nice day,
Kristina
