Map Name: Rotating Sword
Version: 1
Author: Amras_




Gameplay

Simple and slow paced. It take at least two minutes before you have to start paying any attention and even when you have to start paying attention it's too simple to be entertaining.

I suggest the following:
  • Add some sort of powerup/tome that you can run over to pick up, example bonus speed boost, destory one rotating sword etc
  • Add different kind of glaives, one could change direction mid air. One could be homing but only lasts for say 10 seconds. The possibilities are endless.
  • Make the weapons have a random speed each time the bounce against the wall.
1/5





Uniqueness

This is unique to me, but it's so simple and uncreative with the current scope of the map.
1/5




Overall

Overall sloppy made map, though I have to admit that you had a clever way with dummy units to display the stats.

I can see it getting a 2/5 with approval if worked on, but for now I deem it to be a 1/5
1/5




Bugs

There should be a hotkey in the tooltip for the abilities.
The dummies should have the locus ability to prevent the HP bars from being visible.

I also took a quick look at the triggers, most of them are inefficient. For example you have one trigger per unit being selected, and additionally you use one group per region which is also silly since you might as well remove all units in the map which is one group. And on top of that they all leak.

What I feel this one needs is more gameplay variety. Some glaives could go faster at some point or do something. Other stuff could appear on the map like slowing points or traps, I don't know.
3/5 (roughly).
