Rainforest - Dunkelschwamm
Rainforest is no more than a couple of hallways made to look like a rainforest. There isn't much happening in the map.

This is an intriguing Robooto map, I think. Its brushwork is incredibly creative, trying all sorts of different things to evoke a rainforest aesthetic. Some of these attempts are more successful than others, and the utter density of these different approaches creates a fairly inconsistent atmosphere.
The map itself appears to be nothing more than a brief facade for testing out these brushwork prototypes for a rainforest environment. Playability-wise, I don't think it's really all that worth checking out for players so I don't recommend playing or putting on a server. If you're a mapper you might be interested in seeing what things Robooto attempts, though I would say most of the lessons here would be what NOT to do.
Pros:
- Some neat attempts to create a novel environment
Cons:
- Pretty pointless, frankly, as a playable map.
- Most of the experiments in rainforest engineering were unsuccessful.
Score: 1.5 / 10
