Tuukkekovajatka - GrandmasterJ

 


    The map with the unpronounceable name is about a rocket ship. It kind of goes up but not all the way and it is very slow.

Map review of Tuukkekovajatka

(originally posted on SCMapDB)

    I didn't know what to expect from the map with the unpronounceable name. What I got was a weird spawn point in some water that looks like hot lava but is totally safe and harmless. There is a glass partition in the middle of the room and a platform on the other side, swimming under the water can take you to the platform but you can not jump on top of it, the whole area is useless. Instead climb up the ladder.

    Up the ladder is a flat white room with a very basic looking rocket. There is a room in the bottom of the rocket but there are no controls. Up a misaligned and non transparent ladder players can access a room in the top of the rocket, the button to go up is the thing that looks like a light in the ceiling. The rocket moves at an agonizingly slow pace and as the map description says, it does not go all the way to the top of the map. The rocket does stop at a ledge in a flat blue room. When we got there the first time my teammate came up to me and started hitting me with a crowbar, the rocket stopped and we tried to disembark but we were stuck in each other and the rocket. We did all we could to free ourselves but then the rocket started descending. We were free but our destination slipped by. Why did the man I thought was my friend do this to me? He knows what happens to elevators in goldsrc. Why? Why did this have to happen?

    There is no way to get to the flower room. I cheated instead of waiting for the rocket to go down and back up. This is all there is to the map.

Pros:

  • I guess the rocket worked
  • I'm real glad that water didn't hurt us

Cons:

  • the rocket doesn't go all the way to the flower room :(
  • it is very easy to get stuck in the rocket
  • the rocket is very slow
  • the spawn area is very strange and inconvenient

Score: 1 / 10

The Absolute State of this Blog

   I'm a big fan of Sven Co-op, so much so that I was only half joking when I presented the terrible idea of playing and reviewing every map to my partner in crime, Dunkelschwamm. Much to my surprise she agreed and now here we are, 371 maps in to the 1558 maps currently on the Sven Co-op map database . It was done primarily to get people to stop leaving reviews in the comments and to actually put them in the review section. Let me just check the reviews on the map database. . . . yeah, I think it sort of worked. Then we got nervous that wikidot might die and take the site with it so I created this blog as a mirror.      Dunkel was unemployed at the time and my fiancé still had tons of patience for me so it went swimmingly, I think we averaged something like 15 reviews a week. I did the math but circumstances keep changing and so do the numbers, so that's a very rough estimate. We both dabbled in making maps for Sven long ago when the game was relevant and popula...

Swiss Cheese Halloween - Dunkelschwamm

        Swiss Cheese Halloween is a conversion of an ancient Half-Life mod of the same name. It was made back in the whimsical time of 2002 by an author who goes by Swiss Cheese, hence the map name. SCMapDB page Original mod author: Swiss Cheese Conversion author: Garompa Date of original mod release: 2002 Date of final Sven map release: 2020 Maps in package: 12 Map review of Swiss Cheese Halloween (originally posted on SCMapDB) by dunkelschwamm | November 27, 2021 | 6988 characters      A classic Halloween mod that's great for nostalgia and festivity, but frequently trips over itself.      Some information: Swiss Cheese Halloween is an old Halloween-themed Half-Life singleplayer mod. It was one of the first Half-Life mods I ever played, years ago. I was excited to play through it with a buddy in Sven, so I got this port. This review is following our finishing of the mod together.      The mod as a whole offers many m...

Civil Defence - Dunkelschwamm

Image
       Kill a bunch of soldiers and aliens in some generic warehouses and offices somewhere in a red brick city. It's a pretty straightforward map that requires at least two people. SCMapDB page Authors: Daniel Plant Date of release: 2004 Maps in package: 1 Map review of Civil Defence (originally posted on SCMapDB) by dunkelschwamm | January 7, 2024 | 3588 characters      Civil Defence is a very simple sequence of gunfighting arenas in a warehouse district setting. Players fight their way out of a building by escaping along its fire escape, then through the district, before moving through a sewers area to the final battle. The first third of the map sees players fighting blackops grunts and assassins, before things take a sudden shift and see the players fighting an odd combination of vortigaunts, gonomes, and shock troopers (with a few itchyosaurs, and eventually a voltigore, thrown into the mix).      The battles in this are intense.
