Hello GoogleUSS!

I am here to tell you my opinion of your map. Please remember that I am not a Map Judge and my opinion does not affect the result. If the Map Judges disagree with my opinion they will decide what they will.

Firstly the THEME of your map. I don't ever remember a menorah being the theme of a parkour map. I just made a dreidel map though!

Secondly the BUILD of your map. This is your first downfall. Although the map DOES look recognisable as a menorah, I don't feel it has enough shape to it, and enough detail.

Lastly the PARKOUR of your map. To me, this is the biggest problem of your map and the biggest downfall of it, too. I didn't find it enjoyable to play myself. It wasn't varied, and it was not difficult enough, even for an easy map. In the future, be sure to include more blocks such as heads, fences, walls, enchantment tables, anvils, water, stairs, pots, ice, soul sand, brewing stands, etc. Be sure to incorporate the parkour into the build, too, as right now it is taking away from the build.

I'm giving the map a -1 for now, because the theme is good, but the build and parkour are severely lacking. good luck regardless, JJ.

Fair enough, this is my first parkour map so i will continue to work on it but thank you for the criticism.

Yeah! I'd be happy to help you with anything you need help with. My first map wasn't very good either.

Hello GoogleUSS,

Unfortunately, I will be Rejecting your map.
The theme is original which is good. The build isn't great, it is accurate to the theme, but I would suggest making it a bit bigger, and adding more shape and depth to it as it is quite flat and 2 dimensional.
The parkour is very repetitive, as it is mainly normal blocks and ladders. Try to experiment with a larger variety of blocks and items when building parkour, as well as trying new ways to utilize these, as having more original jumps will overall make your map more enjoyable to complete.
The length and difficulty are good for an easy map.

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