Contestants were tested on their abilities at making a fun, space effective game in Warcraft 3. It should be a unique idea, ie; not another Uther Party.

Judging will be as follows:

Concept		Does your map revolve around a central theme? does any story elements fit in place? example would be Mario in a Pacman level to denote a low score../25

Enjoyability		Is the map fun to be played through to the end? Does it pull you back to play it again?/35

Going Green		How well does your map make use of limited space, be it file size or terrain size./20

Playability		Overall fluidity of the map in game and on the transition between games. Is the map bug/lag free?/20

Aesthetics		How well does the map look and overall feel of the 'environment'?/20

It's a competitive game where players (2v2) try to score points by bouncing the "potato" off their heads. The round ends when the potato hits the ground, and the game ends when the last round has finished.

Hey Cokemonkey,
why did you replace the shadow (i guess a dummy unit) with...smoke smudge? Looked better before D:
Click to expand...

There were people testing with me that had shadows turned off and they had zero depth perception for getting under the potato :D

So now there's the potato, a dummy unit with an offset that represents the shadow, and a dummy unit that is centered on the shadow dummy that looks like a smoke smudge for people who have shadows off

Thats my opinion.

Because we should only ever speak to people we agree with right? haha.. In my opinion, refute it all you want, his map is quite impressive with the use of physics while retaining a very simple idea for a contest such as this.

p If only I started from the start like most over contestants I would absolutely own(I think:p) but I started with only ~ 1/3 of the time that the other contestants had and am working on the map for a great release.
Oh well this should be an interesting contest and yes its not realy fun to play my map(War Carts) on your own(if you did because you need to kill other Carts(lol)).
Oh yes and also my alias name is spellt with a capital C lol :p I was ment to tell people that a while ago when they did the mistake.
Good luck to everyone in the contest and have fun playing the Mini-Maps :).

edit: also may have time to see what I'm up against in this contest, havn't had time to see ;).

Well my vote has to go to Xilinger's The Undead!

I love the game :)) It's very overwelming and simple. and it's very well tought out to!
at least that's my opinion.

It feels like an action game and a mini game at the same time.

can't belive it hasent got more than 1 vote so far

Time to make it 2!

eMo2LoVe,


That's a pity you didn't see this. There's all the information you need about my map.


Actually it's 1600 but... the trees. Those bloody trees.

Anyway, thanks for review! I really appreciate it.
Click to expand...

I never even noticed the mana or health fountains xD
And i think the trees make it more challenging, which is good, same with the limited space.
I think your map actually requires some strategies, like use bomb sheeps to blow up other sheeps, you can use teamwork to heal allies, knock down trees to see farther, etc
Only thing i didnt like was you cant really do anything with the items cause you dont have time to read/purchase them
Also, if you missclick when trying to attack a sheep, you run towards them! :O
but i still found it the most fun map :)

Wow, thanks a lot, wolfman, very inspiring words for me. As far as see I'll get the last place here but my map surely got to be improved after the contest. I has some serious issues in it and I'm happy if you didn't notice them. Making it fun was my main idea :)
