  1. Strange how despite coming out 13 years after the track it’s an asset flip of (Marc Schroeder’s Re-Ville, which I’m seeing everywhere as of late), this map feels like it might as well have come out 13 years before.

    And it really is strange, because this came out six months AFTER this team of Marv & R6TE released their version of Fiddlers On The Roof. With all due respect to both of these fantastic authors, I don’t quite get how you could make a track from 2000 somehow look worse? None of the lighting, shadows or environmental effects from Re-Ville remain, leaving only flatly-lit boxes that don’t give off the same depth or immersion as the original.

    There’s also barely any flow, I struggled with a Dust Mite to stay on the track and can’t imagine anything much faster would have an easier time of it. This plays more like a tech demo than anything else, and not a particularly ambitious one.

    Just play Re-Ville or Paperman’s infinitely superior redux of this track concept.

  2. I had a ton of fun trying to make a fast lap on this track.

    This (sadly) feels like a half finished track. Bunch of great ideas, without any polish. After the first turn (into the hangig pipe) wich is just a bit too hard, the track has a great flow, before the last turn there are 3 satelite dishes wich brake that flow. Those dishes are the least polished part of the track imho, too small, has no base, they just there to anoy you.
    Other than that i also found the air duct part pretty out of place/pointless. After the first lap where i tought i have to go through it I just ignored it and was thinking why it is even there. This air duct part and the dishes make the track feel unfinished, WIP track, but sadly probably this track isn’t woked on anymore.

    If the dishes were implemented a little better and if there would be a (slower) alternative rout at the first turn (or the turn would be just a bit wider or the pipe bigger) i would really give this track 10/10

    As it is now its 5/10 track wich somehow, gave me 30mins of pure fun and enjoyment.

    Overall I think this would be a great no repo track.
