Reviews

1. The Devil's Lunchbreak by SheMeT and the_trademark
http://www.minecraft...ls-lunch-break/

Spoiler

8/10 for originality or creativity - I haven't seen many maps like this and I like the variety of challenges in the map. The theme is also quite cool. However, I found repetitive hidden chest locations, but other than that, it was really good.
8/10 for how fun I found the map - I found the map really fun, as the map was quite difficult in places, but not over the top. It was a good length and didn't drag on. However, I might make a few jumps a bit longer - with sprinting, they were a little too easy.
3/5 for how well I think it was made e.g. scenery, bugs etc. - it was well made, but I didn't like the way that the redstone was exposed in the fishing rod challenge and the checkpoint system required you to do a lot of walking to get back

19/25 overall - a very good map. It's a unique map and I'd reccommend it, but there are some improvements I think could be made. I'm a harsh critic, so this is a very good review! By the way, I got 236 diamonds; I died a lot! ^^

2. Wierd Survival Island by Cybexx16
http://www.minecraft...-v03a-18-169-dl

Spoiler

7/10 for originality or creativity - A good twist on the traditional survival island style map, with the addition of treasure, secrets and all sorts of other things besides just surviving. However, it is still a survival island.
9/10 for how fun I found the map - It was a good map to play, with the survival aspects tying in well with the exploration.
4/5 for how well I think it was made e.g. scenery, bugs etc. - I couldn't find many problems, but I did think that big ball in the sky looked a bit odd. ^^

20/25 overall - a good map to play if you're bored of the normal plain survival maps.

3. Levels by Kinglau3
http://www.minecraft...ark-levels-v10/

Spoiler

9/10 for originality or creativity - I loved the variety of parkour and challenges. They were difficult, but possible and I loved how clever the challenges were. I loved how the redstone worked and made it far more interesting.
9/10 for how fun I found the map - When I understood what to do, the map was really fun and the length of the map was really good. Unfortunately, I only played on 1.8.1, so the pumpkin room was far too easy, and maybe some other challenges were lacky difficulty.
3/5 for how well I think it was made e.g. scenery, bugs etc. - I'm sorry, but what I was meant to do was really unclear in places. But the map was very clean and looked amazing.

21/25 overall - Probably the best parkour/puzzle map out there. I hate having to drop so many marks on the third marking section as it was geniunely a good map - the pixel art was great and not overdone and all the rooms' themes were really wonderful. The only advice I can give you is just to make the objectives of the rooms really clear and you've got an outstanding map. usually I hate parkour maps, but I really enjoyed this!

I'll play your map again to get a good review of it. You're coming up next.

[Kinglau3]

Hmm... I'm thinking...

Now that I've thought about your terms, I DO agree with them.
This may sound reviewing-hungry but it isn't really.
I hope that you still want to review it!

Dude I would let you do mine but Im afraid you Terms and Condidtions arnt right. The makers of the map are the people who do the hard work, you just running through and then making money by using adfly or something is just not fair, alot of people take time with there maps only for you to just steal the thunder without giving credit, try linking to forum topic.

Please could you actually read the terms? I said that I can only do any of those things IF I accredit you (give you credit). I have linked to the forum topic on every review so far and I don't plan on monetizing or redistributing any maps, but it's just a disclaimer incase I ever want to. The terms can be whatever I want them to be, so long as they follow the law and rules of the forums.

Sorry, you need to fill out the application. Also, does it need 1.9 pre release, because if so, then I apologise, but I can't play it.

I will try to do a review on your map, but it probably won't be tonight considering how long it is.
