Yes, it is true! Map Reviews are back again! I've been taking a vacation for a long time but now I'm back!So basic stuff: My name is Andrew, I am here to review your custom maps / adventure maps. I've done around 200+ Map reviews, private and requested. I tend to check all the details of the map and everything that is done in it. I will give you a full review on your map post as well as a copy of it in my post for other members to see it. I give full criticism so don't expect me to be nice to you and lie if your map is bad!
I now have a partner who reviews maps with me to increase the reviewing speed and process

Simple, isn't it? Now a few rules: I do not play any alpha(s) or pre-released version(s)! I only play at the current version that is available. I do not use any mods, if a map needs a mod to be able to run, send me the link, i'll install the mod, and remove it after i'm done with your map! Patience is important! I can not always review it in the first hours you post the request. But I promise, your map will be reviewed in less than a week. Thats all!

Reviewed:Skyblock Madness:
Skyblock Madness is a map created by UltimateBuildsThe map is an island survival game which requires you to survive with limited resources which you may gain by exploring the floating islands around.The idea of the map is nice but not so original and in-fact, i've seen alot of maps like this one so its the same tactic for all those maps.Some monster traps fail really hard (pigmen in lava, Golden Shrine doesnt spawn at all)My job was to check your map, not complete all the challenges on your forum but the challenges are nice.
Creativity: 7/10 [The map isnt so original but the challenges are ok and the islands are fine] Fun: 2/10 [I wouldn't count waiting long days to gather wood and sand to reach 1 island and then wait again to reach another and complete all those challenges with limited resources AND with the risk of falling off and losing everything as fun.] Story:0/5 [No Story at all] Level Of Understanding: 5/5 [Everything was nice and clear] TOTAL: 14/ 30
Survival Galaxy:
Dear Makuta Nazo,As of your request, your map has been reviewed. Your map, generally speaking, your 'planets' are a creative idea and are attractive to play. Although there is no point of story in this map, the creativity and work you spent to get this map working is outstanding, combining The Nether with the real world and various colorful islands, aswell as the villagers and mobs really make the game more 'interesting'.Your challenges are abit off though:
Making an infinite water pool is too easy make a 2x2x1 hole and drop water on each edge with 1 bucket is too easy of a challenge.
Challenges 3, 7-13 can all be put up as one challenge. [For example: Challenge #3: Make a farm of the following items: Wheat, Reed, etc..]
Challenges 15-17 are not written correctly. [Fixing Solution: Make a statue of every wool color block, etc...]
A few more suggestions:
Make your post more... organized. A full text block which includes: Explanations, challenges, old history is not appealing the viewer's eye. Make it more organize, divide texts of block by context. Separate every challenge by a new line.
Keep updating constantly and give updates to your post, that should grab people's attention.
SCORES: Creativity: 7/10. Fun: 7/10. Story: 0/5. (no story) Level of Understanding: 2/5. Total Score: 16/30. Best of wishes and good luck,

Dear yokcos,
I have played your map and the idea is ok. Although the diamonds keep glitching up and down and there is no clear instructions so it might take some time to even figure out what to do..Atleast put a few signs to guide people through the levels. Just walking around clueless isn't so fun afterall...
I've been working on this for a long time, and it just got updated to 1.7.4 today. It was popular for a little while once, but has since fallen dead, so I'm trying to do little things to get it out there, and I saw this hoping you could review it. http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1898331-surv174-survival-galaxy/
Woah! I'm currently making a map (click my banner), and, while I'm only about 5% complete with it (even though I've been working on it since I started playing Minecraft a year and 3/4ths ago), I'd love for you to review it once it's finished. I'm mainly just commenting here so that I don't lose this page, but, in the meanwhile, feel free to look at my WIP post and see what you think! I'll either edit this post or make a new comment to let you know when it's finished (it'll be a LONG time, so don't be surprised if this thread grows old and dies long before I finish the map).
It may just be my internet, but the spoilers don't work. Did you just type:
Only mods can read this text since you need to enter editing mode to keep extraneous code from being entered
or did you go into editing mode (the little light switch in the top left) and then type it?
Anybody can read this.
Also - I can't wait to see your "review" of my post - tell me what you think of the screenshots!
I have no idea why you don't seem to open the spoilers. I know that if I click the 'show' button it will open.
I prefer not entering the 'Full Edit' mode because It will mash EVERYTHING into 1 big pile of text and it requires me 5 minutes to rearrange everything from the beginning. If the problem won't be resolved i'll find a new solution to show my reviews.

I know I seem harsh with scores but dont forget that if you are missing 1 point in your map like a clear story, its already 5~10 points off.

Might as well drop off my recent map, on the off chance you'd take a look at it! Just scroll down to the Minimaps section and you can find it there!
