This is a really nice build, but unfortunately there is already a Christmas tree map. I encourage you to make sure your theme hasn't been taken before you start building. I hope you make more maps!

It's a very nice build, as has been said, but the theme is unoriginal. Make sure you check Shinxray's parkour list before beginning a map! (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lZKQZMgGev6fXyhZ8nCPkTzNIj0yOjXjUTDvfzKNzl4/mobilebasic)

The parkour is fun, and suitably difficult, but a bit long and very repetitive.

-1, but good luck. You have a lot of potential!

Keep in mind, I am not an official map judge; take my review as that of a normal member of the community <3

Hello,

I'm sorry to inform you that your map has been rejected due to the following reasons. Firstly, the build is alright, but it could definitely be easily improved, one of my main concerns is the theme, it's very unoriginal as we already have MANY Christmas/Christmas tree related maps already on Manacube, but another one of my main concerns is the parkour, although the parkour jumps fits the difficulty you're going for, it's very long for the 'Easy' difficulty, I also found it a bit repetitive, as well as messy due to a lot of floating jumps throughout the map.

In the future when creating maps, please look over the official Manacube map list with themes listed below. I also strongly recommend reading over the information and tips thread, especially the "Building Tips" part, as this may prevent maps from being too long, or difficult. Another thing that I would like to see done in the future, is your parkour more attached to your build, although the parkour is technically on presents, the presents are floating, and it makes the build look messy and unrealistic, a big thing to think about when building maps is to attach your parkour to your main build, as this prevents it from looking as messy. Also please use a more wide variation of blocks, some blocks I recommend are ice, soul sand, fences, vines, chests, cakes, trapdoors, etc.

Thank you for taking the time to create, and submit this map, I hope to see more from you in the future.
Luci
