Hello!
No time to give a full review, I'm in class rn and had a quick look at the map
Please nerf the parkour A LOT. It is way too difficult for a Medium map right now, and feels more like a short, tough Hard map. There's lots of precise corner jumps and stuff that can be extremely challenging to new players playing Medium maps :)
Good luck!

Thank you Gamer for the feedback, I've gone and made a lot of the jumps a bit easier now! It is a bit tricky as the build is very corner-y but it should be a bit easier now! please let me know if you feel like anything needs to be changed as I would love more feedback x if you have any ideas for jumps that should be replaced also let me know as I don't want parkour that will make people not want to do it/ not have fun <3

There is already a fireplace map with stocking (Think it was toby and shinx that made that one!) The build was a bit tricky but there are presents inside! <3 The parkour was revamped about 10 minutes ago to be a lot easier now as I've removed some jumps and added easier ones in their place/ nerfed a lot of jumps! tysm tas for the feedback it means a lot
This is my review on the map after testing it:
Theme - The theme is ok as there are no other stocking maps on manacube, but there are already some christmas themed map. But none of those builds look like this so well done!
Build - Personally I think the build is a little bland, and as said above, you could've added a fireplace or presents. It needs more more block variation as well, as shading or something. But that's just what a stocking looks like. And there were also presents inside of it, which made me happier with the build at least :]
Parkour - After testing the parkour, you have nerfed it so it's more like a medium parkour difficulty now, good job! You also have variation in the different types of jumps which is also great.
All in all I think the map could've done a better job with the build., but otherwise the parkour is good.:]
There you go nick :)

Hm to me the build is a bit off. When I think of a stocking it is longer and the bottom part is more stubby, as well as it having a slight downward angle (the stocking is hanging). This looks more like a weird shoe to me. I think it is a good theme, but the build could be a little better. The idea of putting it on a fireplace, filling it, or even something as simple as adding a name to the stocking could really elevate the build! Good luck :D

I meant overflowing with presents haha so you can see them from the outside. Maybe not a whole fireplace but you can show it is hanging? Like how some stockings have those hooks made of fabric at the back. You could add a beam at the top with a nail and the stocking hook loop around it so it would be hanging. That might also help you see what I mean about how the stocking should be angled due to gravity. Just suggestions though!!

Hey Nick, Elly, and Arvk,
Unfortunately, I will be REJECTING this map submission.
Unfortunately, I will be REJECTING this map submission.
- Theme: Although we have our fair share of Christmas-related maps, none are centered around stockings so this is most definitely an originally themed map submission. Good job on picking out something unique!
- Build: Personally, I think the build could've been executed a little better. Something more could've been done with the stocking itself that wasn't just adding floating presents around it (this feels like a bit of an afterthought). For instance, you could either have the contents in the inside be way more apparent and have them sort of bulge out, make the stocking itself much larger and have it be resting/hanging on something, or just about anything else that elevates it and makes it not just a floating sock.
- Parkour: The parkour was not very fitting for the medium difficulty in terms of difficulty, not length. It was just pretty difficult overall so nerfing it a bit would be great, even though the cp placement was pretty good. Furthermore, the parkour itself wasn't very entertaining to do. A good way to put it would be that it just sort of hugs the build and creates this monotonous parkour path that isn't super fun to play. The variety is there, it's just a little on the boring side.
