Gameplay
You should display a text message in the beginning of the game, telling players to take alook at the quest dialog if they don't know how to play.
The information under the Optional Quest section could all be placed in the same information field, rather than splitting it over 4 buttons.

The game in general is extremely simple and honestly not very entertaining.
You need to add a lot of new features in order to get this approved.
Right now the entire gameplay was just to run away from big pigs and kill small ones.

The music instantly made me smile upon launching the game.

The terrain is actually not that bad. It is cute with limited flowers and a few tile variations. However, It could have been made better.

Summary
This map is not acceptable in its current state as it is way too simple.
Even though it only last for 10 minutes max, you got bored very soon.

You seem to have some editor knowlegde however, and I hope you use it to create a more entertaining game.

Status set to Rejected.

Couple of things
- Tree models are needlessly large
- The pigs don't actually hunt you down, hence there is no actual reason to kill them. Infact you can find a nice spot and simply afk to win, assuming no pigs happen to spawn on top of you.

The overall feeling of the map I got was that it was rather boring, even for the 10 minute length. There's just nothing much to do, and what you can do (smacking pigs) is often unnecessary to actually win. The only really dangerous pig type was the infested one, item drop rates were too low to be of any meaningful effect.

There just isn't much game to be played.

To be honest, the "Map Overview" screenshot is still broken including to all the other screenshots.
If anyone else can able to see the screenshots, then it's probably my slow network.

Don't know man i can see them.You can try to inspect element and see the img source?
