Rating: 4/10 - And to think this map used to be peak, where i'd rate it around 9.5/10 instead... Those times are gone for the map has been severely downgraded over the course of time. There was no need to buff this map chat, specially with how nothing would change for the better (at least gameplay-wise), just for the worse instead. I won't deny this map has gorgeous details, a fantastic concept and just is very-well polished overall; great atmosphere and use of special effects that isn't too annoying or obnoxious. But like, come on guys, why'd you suddenly decide it would do ""good"" for the map, to buff the gameplay, completely change some parts for seemingly no reason at all? It was perfectly fine as how it was back then, around April which was when i first beat this map, the gameplay was actually balanced, was fun to play and not so damn overwhelming, without relying so much on your reaction time on the walljumps to determine your speed and not die to the incredibly unbalanced pacing unlike now, the current version of the map. Gameplay literally goes from being ⭐6.1 on the first half of the map (and the best part overall) to spike to ⭐6.8-6.9 on the second half, which should go without saying that it is not balanced at all lol. The pace picks up so ridiculously on the second half it's actually comical how it does just that, requiring pretty much perfection for one to not die to the lava. Also how this map is designed, with nearly half of the gameplay spent walking does not help at all. It does not encourage corner-cutting, or other sorts of gameplay styles, but rather how fast can you jump out of the walljumps, which, once again, needless to say is bad gameplay design.
Enjoyment: 2.5/10 - It's unfortunate that im gonna have to give this map a rating this low; which again it does not deserve, at all. But this is how things are, and we cannot simply ignore the real issues this map has, that could be as easily solved if the map was actually balanced, and not extremely tedious to play as it currently is. Also the map could definitely get more optimized as i lag significantly on the second half of the map, which just so happens to be where i need to lock in as to not die to the pacing and actually live. Even then, no matter how well i perform, im FPS-capped, because my frames hover around the 90-105 range which not only does it make up for notable input lag, but it affects how fast certain actions are performed, for example sliding, which is notably slower than usual, and you need to do this a couple of times on this part so yeah it sucks for this reason. I would not recommend to play this map (Im sorry), it's just... not doing so hot right now... It's seen better days for sure.
List placement (As of upload date): #48
Personal list placement: #26
List rating: ⭐6.72 (High Crazy+)
Personal list rating: ⭐7.04 (Bottom Extreme Crazy) - Once again, this is only because of the significant pace buff the map received. Also the overall base, raw gameplay is hard as well, with long jumps and a couple of gimmicks you have to pull off as to not die, most notably on the second half of the map.

Take the description, updated review as a rant if you want but it's true regardless
No, i won't be doing the secret ending or whatever as it is not worth my time. If the map ends up being properly optimized i'll perhaps go for another rebeat fully without LDM however.

[@spl4shtap-fe2]

Thank you for testing my map, appreciated ❤
I couldnt agree more with your ratings dude, I think this map is a decent map (in terms of theme), but nothing special or crazy or anything like that. I genuinely dont know why people went nuts when they saw this map for the first time 😆
I am planning to release some updates for this map in near future to make it more exciting to play and more balanced as well 🗣
