The BingStation

Description
Y\'know, it\'s pretty rare to see a map made simply to be fun. What we usually get is a replica of one or another location seen before in some game, anime, tv show or movie. Rarely books. We need more maps based on books. But I digress. This map, the BingStation, is made to be fun. And it excels at that. This is quite truthfully the most fun map I\'ve ever had the pleasure of playing. But let\'s look at it piece by piece.

The whole map consists of five levels. The top level consists of a central platform that\'s connected to four small rooms, each of them housing a large hole in the floor. Two of those holes take you to the top level, the other two drag you down to the second level. The top also has four huge pillars with elevators running on them, which take you down to the fourth level. Now, this one is simple. There\'s eight elevators, each of which take you down to the second level. There\'s also some bounceplates that chuck you up to the top and teleporters that take you either to the first or third level. The third level consists of four catwalks with teleporters in one end and a small platform in the other. There\'s also teleporters to the first and second levels. The second level has the eight elevators, some weapon spawns and the tubes that either take you to the top or drag you down. The center\'s floor falls right out from under your feet and takes you to the first floor, via a Bespin-style twisting tube. Now, the first floor is possibly the simplest and most fun of them all. There are four tubes in four walls. One tube is the one you just came out of, the other three take you through a very fast, disorienting, twisting and really awesome flight. They all lead back to the first floor, but that doesn\'t matter. The only way out are the teleporters, once again. All very confusing, no?

The whole map is very well done. I didn\'t see a single bug anywhere. The entire thing leaves a very lighthearted feel and the music (somehow reminiscent of Super Bubsy) reinforces that to no end. There\'s a separate version for 1.02 and 1.04, due to the tossy-turny-twisty tunnels and a bug in 1.02, but you can read more about that in the readme. All in all, if you don\'t get this map, you\'re missing out. I hereby kindly command you to download this piece of digital entertainment. You\'ll thank me for it. Someday.
