I believe that there is already a pac man map although this is greatly different as it includes the whole machine and not just the screen so not sure if it’s original or not. The build looks great though good job. Good luck!

Positives:

• The parkour is varied
• The parkour fits the insane difficulty
• The build looks great

Negatives:

• There are already multiple pac-man themed levels
• In the first room of the parkour, it's just a box with parkour in it; there is no theming
• This part of the map is not properly marked. In red is what I assumed the route was at first, in green is the actual route:
  
• There are some barriers that should be marked, most importantly these:
  
• There are too many neos in a row here:
  

Suggestions:

• Add some theming in areas that are lacking
• Clarify where to go in confusing areas

I think if these issues are fixed, then this map has the potential to still be added despite the unoriginal theme. Good luck!

I have now re-did everything in the course and edited the things that seemed odd.

Hello!

I'm sorry to inform you that your map has unfortunately been rejected due to the following reasons; firstly, although the build is really well done, but the floating parkour makes it look messy, the theme is very unoriginal as we already have a 'Pac-Man' map and many 'Arcade' map. The parkour and length somewhat fit the difficulty of what you're going for, but I found it a bit too easy to be considered an 'Insane' map, but of course, we also wouldn't be able to move it down to an Expert as there would be too many jumps. I also found that the map was a bit repetitive, I found a lot of reoccurring ladders, 'regular blocks', trapdoors, etc.

In the future when creating/submitting maps I'd recommend looking at a list of added parkour maps HERE, I also strongly recommend attaching your parkour to builds, as it makes the map look less messy when looking at it, as well as adding more block variety to your parkour, I recommend using iron bars, doors, brewing stands, chests, enchantment tables, etc.

Thanks for taking the time to create, and submit this map, we'd love to see more from you in the future!
