Spiral

Hey there Flat -

Overall, I really enjoy the map. I think it's a great update to spiral of life, as the main issue I had with that map is it was WAY too big vertically, this solves that issue. I also appreciate the standard block textures, not enough maps nowadays utilize them for that classic appeal. The one qualm I have with the map is that the width of the spiral walkway is a bit too small in my opinion, only about 4 blocks wide. This could lead to 2 or so zombies guarding the entrance to the spiral, which would chokehold it and possibly lead to very short rounds. Thus, maybe you could try expanding the width to 6 blocks or so, giving humans more wiggle room to avoid zombies as they make their ascent. All in all, I think it's very promising!

Hey, so I went for a different solution than widening the stairs since I had another idea in mind. I've added a second spiral rotated 180° from the first one (like on spiral_of_life actually). I've lowered the height a little bit because the second stairs increase the playable area.

Hi DF ,

Apologies for the delay in reviewing your map submission, I have now reviewed it.

The map has received some good feedback from the Community and you have taken on the feedback the best you can - which is great. I like the addition of the duck boosters as a creative way to help with the issues raised.

I do however, think you have made another issue by adding in the second spiral. You have essentially created a very hard challenge for the starting zombie, as with adding the second spiral, you have made a circle to run up. See below...



A human can run up the spiral and keep running in a circle to escape the starting zombie. I know you have the duck boosters, but I think more is needed to circumvent the ability to just run in circles.

The response to this map has been very positive, and I do think players will want to see this trialled. I would also like to see how the gameplay plays out on ZS. So what I am going to do is pop this map on hold whilst you work on the above, I will keep it on hold for a week to make the changes, but let me know if you need longer. If you want to discuss the map further, feel free to drop me a DM but for now...

#On Hold

Hi DF ,

Thanks for making the amendments, I would like to see how this map fairs on trial as the map has had some positive feedback so far and you have taken to all suggestions given so far. I am a little concerned about the 5 minute round time, as that may be too long so I will keep it as 5 for now and we can always adjust later on if needs be.
