Red Sky (Quick Map)

Fair that you have to practice a track multiple times to do it right. All the same, good stuff, mate.

Thank you for your feedback! The saws are dark on purpose, this is meant to be a harder track. (also you can skip the loop to begin with) As for the barriers you can also be driving at max speed and jump over each individual barrier using grip during each jump, or you can just grip fly over them. (also this area can be skipped as well ;) ) And no I remember ever seeing warning signs for obstacles. This map is meant to be done multiple times before you can get it right as is any map.

I haven't gone through much of the Level Editor myself, but is there any kind of warning image available there that pertains to a particular hazard, like a laser wall or a set of saws? If you add those to the top of the hill, the player will know that, sometime, somewhere, a saw, or laser is going to show up. That lets them prepare themselves by slowing down and taking caution later in the track, which will let them avoid crashing, or getting cut to pieces, or what have you.

It also helps divvy up the cautious players from the rushy ones, and it makes the track a little more interesting too. Seeing the less cautious players get demolished because they ignored the warning and just kept boosting along, while the more cautious ones are rewarded for their, y'know, caution.

It's much better than a player being surprised by a hazard, swearing, and having to remember that obstacle is there next time they go down the track, right?

The next problem obstacle is your barriers on the upwards hill leading towards the final turns and flight towards the end zone. Those barriers are /way/ too close together. When you're boosting, you're not going to have enough time to hit the ground for another jump, you're a dead man in that case. It forces you to slow down, use the accelerator, and bounce over each barrier in turn.

Or, just fly over it, but I honestly hate using flight in order to avoid obstacles on the track. So I didn't like that too much.

Beyond that, the setting was cool, use of fog was neat... oh!

Actually, one other thing. Just a general tip for the future, honestly, I can't quite remember if this happened in the course itself. When you have obstacles on a track, but they're hidden behind a hill or the natural curve of said track, adding a warning beforehand will let the player at least know what's coming.

Hmm... not bad, not bad. I do have some critiques though.

Lllllet's start with your choice of obstacles. Now, I don't mind a track that's a little hard to get through. But what I really like in a track is the ability to go fast.

Now, going fast, that can make things hard to see on the track. And that immediately makes me think of your saws on the first bend through the upper part of the track, heading down towards the two hills that run into the last stretch of the course.

Those tracks are near-solid black, and I didn't see one coming until I'd already collided with it. I'd recommend assigning a brighter color to those saws, probably a light blue, perhaps a green to contrast with your red track.

Good work for a first level, I quite enjoyed setting a time on it. Note that the intentional skip route isn't quite the fastest; about 5 seconds can be saved by going over the wall instead. It makes cooldown tricky, but really satisfying to pull off.

This map is meant to be short, is kind of a map you can grind for the world record on. There are alot of different skips and one very large skip he he...

oh yeah I remember you too xD

Well not too bad, especially for a first level, but a little short.

Heyyyy, I remember you
