More Nutty nonsense on a partially constructed island city. A huge playing area means you get to really let rip with those heavy weapons and low gravity makes double the fun!
I started with an idea for something like a Mario/Sonic style platform game. This became a series of roads that are in the middle of construction. Then when I thought about adding some scenery, it just made sense to have tower blocks scattered around. I think it looks really awesome.
Milian thought it reminded him of the skyscraper map from Afterhrs and that it'd maybe involve playing on the roofs. It doesn't, but I'm still gonna call it my tribute to Earthquake's map and to that other stunning city map by Chrono in TLSD2003.

Oh, and there's a fantastic secret on this map if you can find it :>

Good, although some players are confused at first about how exactly to handle the gaps. However, you can only jump between the actual "holes" in the railings due to the impassible linedefs--angled jumps will get you killed, so be careful! (For some real fun, try rocket-jumping. ;) )

Teacher: Children, what do we do before we hop the gaps in this map?
Children: Look both ways for incoming plasma or rockets. Stay away from crazy people with the bfgs, and shoot the guys on the other side.

The gravity makes this map twice as fun because you are able to dodge with more ease.
It would be nicer though, if you made falling into the water an instant kill so it doesn't take so long to drown.
