Description
PLEASE NOTE: MANY TRAINS HAVE MORE THAN 5 STOPS. THIS CAUSES THE GAME TO FREQUENTLY FAIL TO DISPLAY THE 4TH STOP WHEN HOVERING OVER THE TRAINS. CONSIDERING MULTIPLE STATIONS HAVE THE SAME COLORS, PLEASE CHECK SCHEDULES FREQUENTLY WHILE PLAYING TO AVOID ISSUE.

...because trust me, you're going to run into issues. This map isn't impossible, but it ain't for the feint of heart, either.

This map was initially planned to be in the game, but didn't meet the strict requirements. Most maps didn't, actually, in part because learning how to make a good RH map is HARD, but also the restrictions for in-game maps for this mode are much stricter than I've seen in the past.
This is one of the maps that I really, really liked making, but couldn't figure out how to "fix" to meet the stricter standards. So, here it is instead. Enjoy! And good luck, of course - this wasn't one of the easy levels.

Side note: If you ever wonder why there are so few Rush Hour maps, just... take a look at the patch notes. These were fairly minor updates in the grand scheme of the level. This is not an easy process to do. The end result is really, really, really cool, but the process to get there is TOUGH.

Thanks to LaRoso and rheza on the discord for playtesting. The extra sets of eyes REALLY helped guide some of my decisions before the full release.

I wish I read this before giving the weekly challenge a try. The rounds are loooong and for something this size really drive home the value of sensors. Carver and Greater Daniel wound up with the same colour which was a bit confusing (positive) but all fun and games.

all that to say 's good map.

Thanks for this challenging rush hour map.
