Map Info

At the begining you start off with a peasant.You can use him to either kill pigs or run away from them.Pigs spawn every so often,therefore if you choose to run away from them they will overpopulate your region which will result in your death.On the other hand if you choose to kill them you have a better chance for survival.There are four kind of pigs,when they die you can get certian rewards.

Units and Items

Pigs

Pigglets - The weakest ones that spawn.But don't underestimate them their strength grows in numbers.Have a Frenzy ability which increases their attack speed.

Sows - These pigs are not very strong and are slow in nature.Although they have an aura which increases units movement and attack speed.

Infected Pigs - These ones are team players.They are stronger then pigglets ,but their function is more a supportive one.They use their poison to slow you so the other can finish you off.

Pigs - They spawn the last three minutes of the game.Strong,fast and have a Critical Strike ability to do twice as much damage.

Mechanical Pigs - Due to their mechanical nature they have increased movement speed and damage.They explode on death.

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.

Aesthetics
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.
