Frustration - an annoying map by Ratfink

Post by clarahobbs »

This is a simple map I made in about an hour (if you put all the tiny 5-minute segments of working together). It is released under the GNU GPL v3. I need hosting for this map. If you do host it, please use the provided configuration file.

Here are some screenshots. The raw PNG images were too big, so I had to convert them to JPEG. I apologize for the lossy compression.

While being uber simplistic, I believe it would actually be fairly entertaining... small world size helps a lot. ;)

Thank you for hosting. However, I see a problem. There is a geno flag on the ground! Please remove that, I only want one geno flag. Thanks.

I played on this yesterday. I must say, it is rather entertaining... and maybe a tad frustrating at the same time. Besides being very slow in gameplay, and not having a lot of possibilities regarding places to jump or hide, it was pretty neat.

How to get geno

Post by clarahobbs »

Many of you have been struggleing to get geno, and have not been succeding. Here are some instructions. It is a bit complicated, but here goes...
  1. Zoom way in on radar so your tank appears as either a rectangle or a little tank
  2. Get onto the box on the bottom
  3. Drive until your radar shows the very back of your tank is barely on the box
  4. Spin around, and jump just before you fall
If all goes right, you should land on the next box up. Be careful after the first one, because if you hit the bottom of the second or third boxes, *BOOM*! If you don't get it at first, try again until you get it.

Here is a newer version. The only difference is a slight fix in some server messages, thickness added to the boxes to geno, flags other than geno on the way up, and different messages on the death boxes. I hope you like it.
