Most of the systems are time-proven
and approved in the Script-Section.
The content-code is well structured, clean
and performant. Resources are preloaded.
No ingame lags or fps-drops.

After a few rounds it gets monotonous
because the Runner-part has less
influence than the TD part.
The running doesn't offer much variety
due to the towers being fixed in main points,
the Creepwaves not offering enough
diversity or difficulty to make the running
interesting or challenging.
The Runner itself only has 4 Upgrades.
Having two active runners only makes
the game harder because the creeps
split up more.

In it's core the map is a basic survival.
The idea of an ent/ancient protecting
a forest is also one of the oldest in
the book.
The fresh aspect is the separation of
enemies into attackers and peons,
but the AI is not sophisticated enough
to make this new and interesting

The main terrain is decent, but the
forest-design lacking. It is very flat and
the positioning and allignment of doodads
is rather random. There are no prominent
areas or spots. The color-scheme of
tiles and doodads doesn't for with the trees

Due to GUI the code can't be as performant,
but there are no ingame lags or fps-drops.
Leaks are cleaned.

Due to a tga loading screen instead
of blp the map is bloated to almost 4MB.
Some of the models aren't really needed.
Not much enemy variety, but the existing
units have proper Values.

The map didn't work for 2 players, as
the 2nd Player got control over the orcs.
The gameplay isn't really interesting
due to the weak AI. Spells do way less
damage than normal attacks.
All spells I tried invole the "Protector"
to destroy trees, this doesn't fit with the
main goal of saving the forest.
There is also no information about the
passive spells learned or the amount of
stones being carried

Units spawn (seemingly random) and
you send them to fight.
This might get the closet to a
Footmen wars, but comparing it to
that genre would be too much of a grasp

There isn't much of a gameplay at all.
The circles in the middle don't seem to
have any effect.
There is no feedback for the player at all.
The game ends after 3 Minutes, the
player with the highest score wins and
the rest stays ingame.

Custom Leading Screen and Preview,
quests however only contain Credits
and Modes explanation.
The goal isn't even mentioned ingame.

The imported Resources aren't used well.
The trees have no random rotation nor
color-variations.
Custom tiles are mixed with normal,
non-fitting ones.
Poor overall map layout.

Noticed no ingame lags, leaks are removed,
however there isn't much code overall,
which additionally has bug (Win/Lose) and
misses things like selection.

War-type of games often don't offer
much variation, but focus around one
cool (custom)- skill-(set).
Here it is a bland standard-spell.
The tauren that scores first usually ends
up very strong because he can upgrade his
shockwave to 1-hit-kill.
Spawncamping is making the game
unplayable.
Because of cast animation and slow
movespeed there isn't any tactic or
evading possible.

The idea of a shooting arena is not new,
but the mortar-shooting and items
add a fresh touch.

Map Information in place, quests
contain good amount of help.
The multiboard
is too big/excessive for the information
it displays.

Map leaks in a few triggers and uses waits.
The GUI is okay in general.

Tooltips are partially wrong (unchanged)
and completely uncolored.
The "Explode" Icon doesn't fit the effect.
The mortar units has a smaller scale
than the items it picks up and you can
lose sight below trees.

The fog of war makes this game heavily
luck-based because you can only
guess where to shoot.
Buildings however are visible on the
minimap and reveal your position.
After a few minutes the whole map is
spammed with more items you could
pick up and use.
Kills happen randomly and can hardly be evaded,
The defense Flak doesn't serve much purpose
when it doesn't fire automatically.

Special Effects are spammed, units
are scaled poorly.
Tooltips are inconsistent in style,
contain false information and are
colored in a way which makes them blend
with the background, ergo hard to read.
Button Positions don't match with
hotkeys.
The map is really big (12mb) and doesn't
live up to it's size.
Most of it is used by 3 .mp3 tracks
(4,3 and 2 MB)

The gameplay mostly consists of
keeping your hp up by drinking tons
of potions and spamming all spells.
Since the spells don't cost any mana,
you can and have to spam them
constantly.
Already the first spell is flawed,
making the units bounce all over the room.
Units just straight up attack you, leaving
you surrounded in the very small area
of terrain.
The Bosses don't offer much variation either,
they have no clear pattern or special
abilities that could be avoided.
The first boss silences you often,
taking away your main source of
damage.

Very ill-designed gameplay with
leaks.

Intro-sequence, loading screen and
quests are all provided and proper.
However a simple and intuitive
explanation of the gameplay is missing.

The Terrain is very basic, but doing
something like a tavern with standard
models isn't too easy.
There is some elementary doodad abuse.

Next to being one of the most original
maps in the contest, it is also one of
the least intuitive.
Without having played the map it's
very hard to get started with it.
The Quest-Information is incomplete,
e.g. doesn't tell you where to get
ingredients.
After you got the hang of it a little bit
most of your work is to search for the
correct items, constantly switching
between the cookbook and the dozen
shelves.
Even then I couldn't figure out how to
the first recipe.
There is no instruction on how to
convert the items to what you need.
In another example I couldn't even
find the required item for my first order
for a few minutes, because the
Trout's icon is a barrel.

Even tho Orders seem to be randomized,
the customers are not.
Also there is no way to find out an order
once you took it.

All in all this map
is hardly playable alone,
but also hardly playable
with public players,
because they have no idea
what is going on and what
they have to do.
I believe this would only be fun
after having played it a few
times and when being with
a communicative team.

Most information is in place, however
the starting screen is purely confusing.
Additionally the color choice makes
everything hard to read. (especially
tooltips)

The "impressive" systems don't make
the map fun to play.
The movement is so awkward that you
end up flying everywhere you don't
wanna go and hitting a wall frequently.
Because of the fixed camera and
questionable model-choice the own
orb is hard to identify, ending in loss of
control.

It gets monotonous very fast and with
4 players it's mostly luck to hit
someone before getting hit by missiles
flying everywhere.
The fullscrean menu is simply confusing
and it isn't explained anywhere.
