Messuhalli - Dunkelschwamm

 

    If you can't tell from the above picture, this map is supposed to be an Olympic ski jump. The ski jump doesn't work and can actually trap players in it.

Map review of Messuhalli

    Robootto is pretty good at making me feel like an idiot for playing his stuff. This map is a prime example of this.

    This map consists of one large room, a (seemingly?) impenetrable glass room on a mezzanine, a big vat of inconspicuous white substance, and a slide from a platform into said vat. Climbing up a ladder gets the player onto the platform, and then jumping onto the slide gets you trapped inside of it because the top surface of the slide is intangible. The only way out is death. I was certain, the moment I saw this map, that the slide would be fucky in a way I wouldn't predict. I was right. I thought it wouldn't work, sure, but being intangible so the player becomes trapped is a level of fucky I was not prepared for. I found myself laughing loudly and saying "What the fuck is Robootto's problem?" because I genuinely could not comprehend why somebody would make and then release this map.

    That's truly all there is to the map. Do not play.

Pros:

• The ladder works
• There is a room in this map which you can move around in

Cons:

• The only part of this map that looks like it should be interactable is intangible
• Empty
• Ugly

Score: 0.1 / 10
