Heyo! I'm glad you decided to take time out of your day and make a map! Here are my thoughts;

THEME:
The theme is unique, as we don't have any 'checkpoint' based maps. Good on you for that!
BUILD:
Whilst the blocks used in the build provided a nice look to it, the build is pretty much pixel art, which isn't exactly what the judges look for currently. Some of the blocks can be a bit jarring, as they can make the parkour hard to see, which I will explain below.
PARKOUR:
The parkour seemed quite easy for a medium map. It was quite easy, until a large difficulty spike (in terms of mediums) with the neo then double-neo at the end, before becoming easy again for the last couple of jumps. The ladders on the front side also seem to blend into the oak planks you used, which can be annoying for those who do not see them and fail jumps because of it. The parkour wasn't boring or tedious, but it wasn't exactly fun to complete. You did use different blocks and different ideas throughout, which I will give you credit for.

Overall, the map isn't bad, but I think you need to completely re-work the build and some of the parkour in order for this to be accepted.
Have a great day and good luck in your future maps!

Hello aunknownuser,

Unfortunately, I will be Rejecting your map.
The theme is original, as there aren't any checkpoint themed maps.
The build isn't great, as it's mainly pixel art. Unfortunately, maps with pixel art as their main build are no longer accepted, you may however, use small amounts of pixel art to decorate a map.
The parkour was a bit repetitive. You did use some different jump styles throughout the map which is good, however it did feel like you grouped your jumps a lot. What I mean by this, is that you would have a sequence of just ladders, then just normal blocks etc. Try to mix up your jumps a bit more, as well as experimenting with the ways you utilise the blocks and items, as this will make your map overall more enjoyable to complete.
Most of the parkour is suited for an easy map, except for the double neo near the end, and the length is good for a medium map.

Thanks for submitting your map! I hope to see more maps from you in the future.
