genre: adventure
players: 1
tileset: installation
dimensions: 256 x 12
estimated playing time: 30 minutes - 1 hour

this map is divided into 11 rooms, each one fits in your view screen exactly. your vision is centered on one room at a time, and you move from room to room trying to reach your objective.

the map takes place in a space station. the space station is a little bigger than the international space station, about the size of a sky scraper (not that this really matters).

the map is timed. you have 1 hour to complete the objective.

the map is linear, but you will have to figure out a lot of things. for example, it will tell you that you are hungry, but you have to figure out that it means you are supposed to go to the galley.

sorry, there is no fighting in this map.

now for the story. you are a member of the dreaded space mafia. your boss insulted you and now you want to get revenge. you decide to sneak into the space station's vault and steal his money. you have to quick though, because even you can't break through the locks inside the vault. if the money gets locked up, you're out of luck!

the map is really simple and really short. what else would you expect from a 256 x 12 map?

here are the screenshots i posted in the terrain forum.

[attachmentid=10304]
^this is the lobby. it's on the first level of the space station.
[attachmentid=10303]
^this is the galley. Its a restaurant/bar on the space station.
[attachmentid=10302]
^this is a generic hallway. there's a hall like this on levels 2-4.
[attachmentid=10305]
^this is the ventilation shaft. these things are useful for sneaking around, hehe.

as you can see, i tried to fit as much as i possibly could into each of the 11 rooms. if this map was 256 x 256, i would get a nooks and crannies error for sure. id probably run out of sprites too. if this is popular, i might make a sequal.

feedback please!

this one has more information in it than the screenshots. plus, some people dont look at the terrain forum. (if you look, it SAYS: "here are the screenshots i posted in the terrain forum.")

Best Installation terrain i've seen in my life, i'm dieing to see this, great use of installation terrain. I like how you gave it the effect of a peaceful office building inside the spaceship instead of designing it to look like one and how it's not a scary thingy.

Brillant gameplay, nice puzzles. Hehe good traps too. I wont ruin anything for others. Terrain is very nicely created too. Alternative paths was great idea as well. Hope see more stuff added too it =)
