I guess there is a game here somewhere, after a weird intro you are in a round room with rotating beams, see scene shot, I assume you duck and jump the beams to progress and with a size 22.3Mb they must be more to this game, but who cares, if the mapper can’t bother to design a structured begining for the player to get into the game then why bother to play it.
Has anybody figured what you have to do with those rotating beams. I don’t see a switch or anything. More ammo appears after a minute or two, which leads me to believe I should be shotting something…but what? Strange!
Basically there are 3 objectives.They all require destroying something.First hint I’ll give is glass tubes.
Thanks. andyb – after asking my question I shot out the yellow tubes…but I got exaspererated when the manhacks showed up and the lasers spelt sudden death. I guess I could engage Buddha mode but I hate having to cheat to get through a map.
Right, I may be a lot of things, but I’m not defeatist (no siree, Bob!) so I just booted this map up and…completed it. My chagrin at it earlier had more to do with playing several sub-standard maps beforehand. I was low on patience by the time I started AYBABTU.
For a large-ish file it’s basically a one-room puzzle. Was pretty gobsmacked when I got the congratulations screen.
Not sure whether I recommend it or not. Top marks for soing something creative puzzle-wise, and there are great voices and atmospheric sound effects. But did I enjoy it? Well, if I’m to be honest, then the answer’s no, not a lot.
Score: 4 out of 5.
Annoyance Rating: 3 (Have to dodge and shoot at the same time. A hard thing to do. Also not clear on the objectives until you realize.)
New Models/Skins/Etc.: Nope/Yep/New beautiful TRON-like walls.
Gameplay: Thinkorific.
Story?: Gordon “Ch-ch-ch-chia!” Freeman is sent somewhere for some reason. Lovely.
Onwards:
This map is short. No. Really.
When you start, your treated a beautiful rendering of your brain. You get to move through red-lined TRON like surroundings. Walking ( Or skipping, depending on your mood. If blood-red lines on the wall makes you happy) through the corridors and greeting the lovely face on the wall. Give the man on the wall a handshake and move on, I say. Here, the walls get to talk to you. At this point, i’m having a flashback of the more finer things in life.
Ah, she was the best girl I ever hung…..Out…With…
Moving on. You get to have a conversation with the wall. I’m thinking “Hello, mister wall. Are you in need of a stomache stapling surgery?” but he refused to comment. You teleport slowly and get to meet your main enemy. The evil TRON-like villian resides in nothing, allowing the view to mess up like your hallucinating. A beautiful and professional looking use of special effects. After that, you get to have an interesting boss battle. You get to shoot glass.
Yeah, shoot glass. I can see you jumping in excitement. After that, shoot more glass, dodge lazers, dodge manhacks, shoot more glass. End.
Summary:
Creepy sounds. The ability to talk with walls. Ghostly skins. A Gman meeting and some laser dodging to top it all off. Tastes just like chicken.
