Hey Hick_Hock_4,

Unfortunately, I will be REJECTING this map submission.

• Theme: I'll be honest, I can't say this has been done before. This is definitely an original submission.
• Build: I'm not a fan of the build at all. Yes, it's definitely a race-esque build with diamond blocks, the theme is somewhat apparent. But, it's really messy, oddly shaped, detail-lacking, and unattractive. It's floating rectangles with no floors and built with the same blocks. I don't know what else to tell you, it's just not a very attractive map. I know you can do better.
• Parkour: The parkour is way too long for any difficulty on our server. And, the parkour is barely hard enough for an expert, and even less for an insane. There was really a lack of equilibrium in the overall difficulty of the map. Some segments were incredibly easy and then you had some annoying jumps here and there. You need to carefully think what difficulty you want your parkour to be before you even make it or else you'll risk not fitting any difficulty. Furthermore, you used a lot of the same jumps repeatedly. It was just identical segment followed by identical segment. You need to use a wide variety of jumps/blocks in your parkour so that it isn't boring to do. And, it was confusing at times.

I hope you take these criticisms into consideration when submitting maps in the future, good luck!
