Let's Build NOT a Rocket 0.8.3

The review comment was too long so I'm dumping it here.
Map was pretty great! Solid 7-8/10.

I do think the difficulty is a little too front loaded, and getting a run off the ground can be tough. Maybe a little too tough, since it took like 5 or so wipes and some close calls before we got a win. I think the starting area only having 2 freebie biles does a lot, but maybe a free smg or shotty would help smooth over the very start. Will note, it's totally possible you're intended to use those freebie biles extremely early to help buy time and lock in the run, instead of saving them for a tight spot later. Probably need to try that out next time.

Things kind of taper off and become a little rote by the end as well, once the tree is finished and all the things are built. I guess that's just a natural consequence of there not being any means for the zombies to scale up midmatch. I do think the spammability of some things like pipe bombs contributed, because you can chain those for near perfect uptime. Suggest playing around with giving certain items cooldown timers. Could be what balances thowables vs placeables. Cooldowns vs needing a moment to set them up and then shoot them. More just brainstorming than making serious suggestions, though.

Besides the wonky difficulty curve, its a pretty damn good map! Would absolutely recommend giving it a try to friends or people interested in the map style.

Yes, thank you for taking the time to write a long review.
As far as I remember, the "free" shotgun was lying somewhere at the end of the hangar.
But, as I already wrote somewhere in the comments - after reinstalling, I lost the source files of this map to make any changes. Although I had some ideas on how to fix a couple of things.
In any case, I am slowly working on another map in a similar genre, in my free time, and if I don't get bored, I will post it someday...:lunar2019piginablanket:

AH right, lmao i forgot that shotgun was there. my group took a hot minute to find it since no one was expecting any free items besides the 2 biles next to the research table.

Very interested to see that map whenever it comes out!
