Hi xen, I have noticed a few things on this map that could be improved a little

At this point on the screenshot, those stones and kelp block don't really help you get any further (especially the kelp block) the stones can be used together, but ultimately, you stay in the exact same area. However, in other areas, you did this well.

I noticed there are a few camping spots in the trees

there is a one block jump up jump that could be avoided at 45, 33, 39

At the middle island where the sunflower is, there is only two ways to it, and they can be blocked, trapping the player, while this is the case for a few other places, they are easier to get out of, and the middle island is smaller.

on the ship with the green flag, sort of near the center island, going towards the place with the bots, there is only one way to get on the kelp, which could trap them

these are some of the things I have noticed, and I wish you luck with your submission

Hello Xen -

I think this is a map with good intentions, I like the use of simple textures and lbs to give it a classic, relaxed feel. I'm sure users would enjoy playing this; the only real issue I have is the size of the map. To get from spawn to the other side of the map, it took me roughly 60s. Even optimized, traversing from one side to the other in the possible pursuit of a human would take 1/6 of the round timer to do. That, alongside with the expansive water system in the middle, will lead to this map being a favorite amongst NB's favorite campers/hiders. If you could move the flower tower and scattered trees more towards spawn and cut the size of the map by 1/3 or 1/2, I think it would be a much more exciting play. This could also encourage you to lower the timer down, which I think is generally a good thing to do to keep user attention spans high. Some more seaweed / blocks in the water could also help; getting from one side of the lake to the other is only feasible from a few areas, and could lead to easy trapping if a human is caught out. I think a slight reduction in general would go a long ways with your map. Good job!

Hi Xen, this is a beautiful map with good terraforming. I love the giant flowers (as I've said before, I think it would be awesome if you were to add more, like you're in a biome of giant flowers). Thematically, you have good diversity of parkour steps in the form of kelp, stepping stones and boats. I am a little concerned about the size too, but we'll see how it plays out. I'd probably place this in Medium Open.
