Map review of Toilet Store
(originally posted on SCMapDB)
Toilet Store is a hangout map that takes place in a madcap surrealist toilet store. Players spawn outside, can work their way in by breaking a glass door, and then find themselves in a toilet store populated by scientists and a G-man. The toilets are silly, have breakable glass lids. Some of them elevate, some of them go into the ground. Some are raised up. Some are in kiosks with wacky textures. There's an indestructible front door. There's a cash register. There's a rocket launcher on a bizarre grate wall outside. There's weapons just kinda laying around, some ammo laying on top of toilet seats.
If it sounds like I'm just listing things, it's because there's no point that really ties this map together. I'd mock it for using toilet humor, but I don't really think there's toilet humor on display here. It reminds me a bit of the Mister Saturn Village in Earthbound, where everything just kinda doesn't make sense, except it applies to mapping decisions.
The map is pretty bad looking, though it uses what it has to make consistent executions of ideas that make a sort of twisted sense in Robootto's mapping language.
Overall, I don't recommend this map.
Pros:
- Delivers on a store full of toilets
- The toilets that move are an interesting twist
- I like that there are weapons and scientists to gib
Cons:
- Feels very pointless from "beginning" to "end"
- Pretty ugly, poorly made
