Status : Review
Condition : Good
Review : 1

Note : Good and interesting map, just like another Are You A Retard map with harder concept. It even remind me of my map Are You A Perfect Idiot and Are You Intelligent. Is not like many people often create such a map anymore.

Such a map concept is to create frustration among the user itself and yet at the same time it gives fun and joy to the user. In which this map certainly prove it does very well, even a veteran player of such a map like me are facing a few difficulty to get through several stage.

Terrain doesn't look good, but it doesn't matter since in such a map. Terrain play a major factor in providing clue to user and not for exhibition.

However, the challenge number 20 seems to have text error. I get close to the signboard and it doesn't show any message.

Apart from that, there is a few trap seems to be bugged. If you want me to approve this map, send me a unprotected version so I can browse through it.

I certainly recommend this map to anybody who're fans of Are You A Retard map, if you like those map. This map certainly for you. For those who failed to survive through some challenge, I suggest you to goes back to the previous challenge section because you might be missing something which you would never expect it.

Resources are currently set to review status and rating is 3/5. Rating would change to 4/5 if I could make a further research over it. If the author doesn't send me a unprotected version for further inspection of bugs and error after 1 months of this notification, I have no choice but to reject it.

Add On : I have review the entire triggering, some triggering could be improve by reducing the coding to increase the efficiency.

Approve and rating is 4/5.

The map might not be fully tested, if any user of the map found bug/error or anything else. Feel free to contact Alexis Septimus by clicking this

[mario_64]

Please do, you won't regret it

Thank you, I do not plan to create a walkthrough, the map would lose its point then ^^

 

[Khaine]

Map is very cool. I beat the map with some people. We had 2 skips left

But i found a bug maybe you have fixed it already.I played the first version:
- Some idiots destroyed the footman and the rifleman toy so we can´t put them all in the.... We had to skipp the level

And i am not sure if you wrote the word of the rifleman toy rightly.

The end of the map is: lol

I didn't know about that bug, it will be fixed in next version. Thanks for noticing.
And yup, the name is wrong on purpose, take a closer look at it

 

[LattergasPusher]

i made it to the last level, but ffs i can't find the hat!! aaargh! it's driving me insane!

 

[SnaKy]

Really awesome map. Great patience tester

 

[Khaine]

I played it 2cond and found some bugs:
- I couldn´t kick player yellow from the whole game. I can kick his character but than he is an observer and can f.ex. the word -skip!!!
- The cinematic with the flying goblin ship is bugged. Some player didn´t join the ship and so they can´t fly to the next island. And there was no knife so they can´t kill theirselves!

 

[Mufanza]

Hehe, that one is little harder, I admit ^^ A little hint: Try to read tips again, maybe it'll help

Damnit, I thought I fixed that one with zeppelin already!
Thank you for noticing, again
I just uploaded version 1.4 - It should be fixed by now
I can't rep you yet, so I added you into the credits, hope it's good enough

 

[bgnin]

The ending is awsome!
I hope you will make more maps like this!

 

[Khaine]

The end is ok. But i mean you thought so hard and than ...
I think you should create 2 endings.
First ending if you use no skip or 1 skip than you see a new cinematic.-
Second ending if you use more than 1 skip than you see the cinematic you use at the moment.

And maybe you can add more levels? Maybe you can add Pro levels if you survive the all levels with no or 1 skip than a teleporter appear and if the player want they can do them.

 

[Tanasren]

It was very cool but well i think LIKE you cause i found all things with a lot of ease BUT the key thing (i destroyed the keys and then i skipped it ^^). For example, the rabbit password, i found it in 10 sec but i know it's hard for many.
I played alone and it was very fun ! I enjoyed the end, finding the pearl was very hard, and the hat too but i tried my last solution ^^
This was too short !
But yes you should add secrets, like 2 endings, some funny things (doing something with the wolf other than ..., controling one player during 10 sec with an hidden item...) and add more levels !
This was great ! 5/5

 

[Mufanza]

Thank you all for kind reviews
I have been asked to make Impossible Map 2 several times, I am not really planning to do so, but who knows what will future bring :]
At first, I was planning to make two endings, guess I am too lazy, heh...
Yea, rabbits My friend was stuck at that place for 46 minutes ^^
About secrets, there are actually some hidden Skips among the map, if you feel like having a little challenge, you may try to find all 3 of them (well, one of them is multyplayer-only, so try to find two at least^^)

I am very glad you liked it

 

[Alvatar]

OMG, Im unable to take what should I do. I passed first level with that leaver (that was easy), but I was unable to beat even the sheep. I tried to send it to the water and let it drown, but with no effect. I also tried to send it to some flowers, hoping it will eat that, but it also wasnt the right. So, I hoped that big shell will eat that sheep and also nothing happened.

With zombies, I hoped they will die of if I will touch them enough times, but it also doesnt seems to work.

With that seciond lever I have absolutely no idea what to do and about that key, it seems all keys are wrong and nowher is another key to be found. What a hell.

I know that, its truly impossible map and all of you who talk about great ending havent even seen that and you just trying to look like you beaten it.

All right, now I go die by frustration...

 

[Septimus]

This map remind me a lot of my other work and Are You A Retard map.

To Alvatar : I give you the clue about zombie section.

Spoiler

1 of the zombie have the name I am vegetarian.

Currently I am stuck at challenge number 20, when I type **** based on the rabbit word. Nothing seems to be happen and the signboard at the section doesn't indicate if I should find, search or kill it which I somehow suspect it was bug. The same goes to 1 trap which I skip as well. I would have to view the triggering setup to see if it been set at the right way.

And here is another useful tips from me.

There is a section where there is a 3 lever, if you do it correctly. You would get a skip.

 

[Tanasren]

As for the sheep, it's a tip used in campaign to have fun with some critters...

 

[Chuchurute]

i loved this mapa +rep

 

[wereguy2]

Wow, I agree, this is pretty damn frustrating!

I hate you, why did i have to sell the hat!?!??!?!?
Otherwise, good map
4/5 (I would give it a 5 if it wasnt so friggin' annoying!!!

 

[max_dan]

this is really awesome...
I have to played this 4 times in singleplayer to finished this..
the twist ending is funny, that's why this is called impossible map
I don't know how to get the extra skip, and I use my skip for 'kill the sheep', 'the right key' and the last stage...
I really don't get it how to kill that sheep....

 

[Slasher]

This map is awesome!! I really liked it

 

[Mufanza]

Thank you for comments, rating and rep, I am really glad that you liked it :]
There are actually 3 skips hidden among the map, one of them can be reached only in multyplayer

 

[Septimus]

This type of map are design to be as annoying as possible.

And it ain't really hard if you ever play a map with such a style. All those trap inside this map are easy except the level 5 trap which it never exist at any Are You A Retard map.

There isn't any hint..can anyone tell me a hint?

Be open mind, lolz!
This map really fun. I am able to get through all these stages...
Think clearly, and be patient

 

[Khaine]

I played the map x-times and it makes always fun.
Mh maybe i found a bug:
- If you skip the level with the "Bugs" and you skip it; sometimes a few "bugs" don´t disappear.

Pls make 2 ends!

 

[thedeathunterxx]

umm im not sure but this may be a bug.

for level 12, the password golem is in my way.

i know that the password is #$^#$^#$^#$^#$^#$ ( sorry cant say anything ). but he still wont let me in.
WTF? dont tell me @#%^%&$#$^ isn't the password, even though the #$^&*(#^@!#%^^& says it is.

 

[Mufanza]

You must stand near the golem when typing the password

By the way, would you please hide those clues and solutins into the Hidden Text tag, or write ***SPOILERS*** above them? This may ruin the game for someone...

 

[M0RT]

you should really use some better map protector, you can read the solution of almost all levels from the war3.j file
Great map nevertheless, maybe you should increase movement speed of the peasant, it's really annoying when you just walk somewhere and it takes several minutes.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

i did stand near the golem >.>

but i found a way to get through, but it waz a TOTAL MISTAKE! i had no idea how i still got through !!

i wont say anythin.

 

[Mufanza]

Nevermind
Just hide those solutions, please

 

[Rmx]

How do u get passed that fucken SHEeP !!!! but i won the map and used all 4 Skips ! i found a skip in the 3 lever section

Really GREAT MAP but the sheep and the second lever and the right key is so impossible !!!

 

[Khaine]

Yesterday I played the map with a friend and find 1(2) bugs.
Pls fix them in a new version

1. Grammar mistake-> you have written Gandalf teh Grey! Right Gandalf the grey!
2. If you destroy(You can^^) the keys in the the 5. level you can´t open the gate! Right?

 

[GoldFinger]

This is a deveious and very clever map, but please could you include a read-me instructions on how do the hard levels?

 

[GoldFinger]

U clik on the sheep loads of times, then it explodes!

[supertoinkz]

some body help me in this stages pm me plz
the crypt lord one where you will kill a crypt lord, how to kill those
the ogre one in the junkyard

 

[Assassine]

You can actually push a cryptlord to the edge of the place by attacking and then kill it, there are several places at the edges where they wont heal. But thats not how its supposed to be beaten, as the gate stays close even if you kill one. I skipped that level <.<

Ok, here's a hint, if you attack a crypt lord with spikes, you die.. right? so, what happens if you kill one of em with no spikes? keep an sharp eye out.

 

[Mufanza]

1. Grammar mistake-> you have written Gandalf teh Grey! Right Gandalf the grey!

That was kinda on purpose :-D [Why? well, because I'm retarded xP]

2. If you destroy(You can^^) the keys in the the 5. level you can´t open the gate! Right?

Nope

Thanks for pointing that out, I'll try to fix it with new version!

 

[Aceed]

Did this map in about... meh, time flies. Guess it was somewhere around an hour or the likes of it... with a friend. We were stuck for ages on the crypt lords, until we skipped it. Then we also skipped the barrack stage, altough I might have a slight idea on how... Red, if you're still reading this thread, are you supposed to

Spoiler

share control with the barrack faction and then go die to the orcs?

This map was fucking excellent, a great puzzle map with fun solutions and also the best black humor on this side of the planet Portal.
...Your narrator alter ego actually reminded me a bit of GLADoS actually.

Well, this map owned, and if you decide to work on another, I'll be waiting with bated breath =D

 

[matejot]

Thank you :]
I didn't know about that bug, it will be fixed in next version. Thanks for noticing.
And yup, the name is wrong on purpose... It's some kind of a lame joke
Footman - Foodman
Riflman - Roflman
Spell Breaker - Smell Breaker

why not Smell Baker?? just a suggestion...

 

[Mufanza]

Red, if you're still reading this thread, are you supposed to...

Nope, you are supposed to...

Spoiler

Barracks needs reference before they can create units (it says so on the paper)... So you have to find some
There were Foodman, Roflman and Smell Breaker dolls hidden in creates a few levels before. You were supposed to give these into the barracks...

Anyway, nice idea with that shared-unit controll, I'll be sure to make this if I'll ever decide to create another one (I'll credit you don't worry ^^)

And yup, I'm still reading from time to time ^^
Anyway, thanks for playing, I hope you and your pal had a good time while playing it

Good one, haven't thought about it yet :]

Good one, haven't thought about it yet :]

Found out that solution when I replayed the map with another guy . And thanks for thinking of little old me if you use my idea x) (Use the name Aciaedius though, I change nick everyday... or more like once every three years, but anyways...)

 

[VestriDeus]

For the sheep, if you're on multiplayer (or just on battle net), the mass-clicking is disabled, because it's a warcraft 3 thing. Everytime i play that on multiplayer, i have to use up a skip for that level.

 

[Assassine]

No its not. I played the map several times and it worked just fine.

 

[supertoinkz]

how can i open the gate in the 4th level
(the switch is in the island)

 

[Assassine]

Simply press the first switch again

 

[VestriDeus]

I beat the game on my second try, with only 2 other people XD.

Stupid part was with the level with the gate and the spike pit; we first used a skip, and only after that (when we were trying to find out the password), i clicked and walked backwards , only to have my guy go on the secret pass then...


Oh well, still won. =D

Thanks for noting, this has been actually fixed through triggers though.

Sorry about that
