thanks for the review rusty if i ever make another survival i will probably add wood in ;)
i used an anti edit trick to make it say "a noob has edited this map" i made a trigger that had an "is dead" condition and masked it and made it a mercenary then fired another trigger that made it say that then go to main menu or whatever :D
it works a lot better if you pause editor and use a bolt scorch then unpause right before you save lol bolt scorch has 5 sec lifespan merc is over 20

Playability: 5
The game is very fun and easy to play. But requiring a bit more effort than most survivals. Being able to purchase upgrades and requiring food to survive is a great touch. And the ending is very exciting, trying to escape all the monsters to get to the rescue boat.
Balance: 4
Balance isnt bad, but it isnt perfect. If everyone builds in the same spot, (as most ppl do because they think that they will be able to build more defenses that way.) the monsters will pile up so heavily that there is no chance of survival. Luckily there is a couple map clears, but at the end this makes it difficult to escape the base you've built. Then again it also promotes spreading out across the island which I like. So I can see a good and bad side to it. Still I cant give you a 5 here.
Creativity: 4
It is a standard survival, however it does have some nice features seperating itself from the rest. Including a solid story and instructions, food requirements for survival, and uprades spread on the island. Requiring food could make the game a lot harder, but it really doesnt. It definately increases difficulty, but not a ton. All you have to do is stand next to a berry bush. Which I personally like.
Map Design: 5
Excellent map design. The island is absolutely beautiful throughout. There's plenty of space to build and no area is really any better than the other, which allows people to build wherever they want, and be just as good. Although you should stay near the beginning so you can escape at the end.
Story/Instructions: 5
The cinematic and story both were very good, and the instructions told you what you needed to know without any confusion as to what it might mean. Very nice work.
Additional Comments: An overall excellent map, and I hope to see a sequel. Perhaps you have to gather wood and build shelter/ a boat to escape.
