I was going to tell you that the light's all messed up but I see you had noticed it before. Oh well, heads up is heads up.

Yeah I just played this last night and saw the directional lighting got messed up. Unfortunately I'm out of town till the 11th and can't fix it till then >.<

eh arrows would work but I feel like that would feel really out of place with the rest of the level design. Maybe just add some floating debris or something to lead you back down to avoid.

Thanks for the feedback! I agree it's really hard to tell where to go. I have altered the ring lower in the past, but I think you're right, I could move it further down. Or, maybe add arrows.

As others have said before, this is a really nice track. The visual theme and design works really well for it.

One section you might look at though is the final jump over the giant saws leading up to the road between the buildings. While this might not be overly common I found myself massively overshooting that jump the first three attempts as I couldn't see where the track actually went with no prioir knowledge, and aiming for the cooldown ring in midair its fairly easy to go way to far with any kind of upwards boosting.

I'm not really sure what the best solution is but it could use some kind of indication that you want to drop down after the cooldown ring. Maybe som floating wreckage or broken lights/poles that lead down towards the actual track.

It's not a huge flaw and obviously once you've found it once its not hard to manage, but I found it a bit easier to miss than it should have been going in blind.

Absolutely unique track with incredible visuals. I especially love the first part for some reason, looks so... gritty? I don´t know ^^ Just love it

Track Showcase! =D

Thanks for the feedback M1sfortune, that's something that I've been struggling with since the map was released. I can definitely try doing more to increase the contrast of ramps/roads against obstacles/background. Any specifics would be helpful. I've already tweaked the ramps in at least 3 seperate updates, but I can try messing w/ colors/lighting/environment further to draw your eye more.

Hey there. This is a pretty good track. It's fairly balanced and full of well-spaced traps, plus there's a good sense of speed and challenge.

My only real gripe is that this map gets really disorienting in a lot of places, particularly when jumping in between most ramps or sections of tracks. Part of this is due to some of the elements being obscured, moved below the sight lines, and the dark blue art style of the map making it hard to see a lot of other sections of tracks as they blend in with one another. If the ramps were contrasted from some of the environment better, it'd make them easier to see. Maybe less reliance on driving along buildings would help too.

Thumbs up from me regardless. Hope to see another update sometime.

Cool track.. Really short for some reason....

Very fun. Lots of innovative takes on things in here. Thanks for posting this!

Getting a no-mistakes run took me a bit; I enjoyed the entire process. I did not look for or find whatever shortcut shaves off ~40s.

Unfortunately there seem to be a couple of areas where things *sometimes* clip into the car and detonate it. The first problem is immediately after the jump at the start line. A nice even jump from the start surface onto the next surface and an even landing result in boom! There's another area of the track where I saw a similar behavior, but I forgot where. :-(

Thank you both of you for your kind words and support! =D

White Grey: I wish I had thought of using fallen buildings and other sort of deteriorating city obstacles, that sounds fun.

Best Steam Workshop level that I have ever played ! A great combination of all that the game has to offer so far. Beautiful and for me, the creator masters his work and balance.

If anyone would like a video playthrough, I've made a 2 minute video here: http://youtu.be/5eBfC9RCEyk

I quite like this map - it has some real charm, some challenge (but not too much!), and an awesome cluttered feeling that seems very appropriate in a ruined city. That part where the road is hidden in between two buildings near the end was very cool, but I never once missed it or was confused. That said, if I was making the track, I probably would have gone for ruins/fallen buildings or something like that for obstacles, instead of mostly saws. I've also gotta add that the jumping saws part was great and I wish I'd thought of it first.
