    I have to admit, this is the most fun game I have ever played. I could not find any flaws in this game. The forging is wonderful!

    When I played this then it was over, everyone was like play that freaken game again or I'm leaving!!!!! That is just how amazing this game is.

    The kill ball idea is perfect so that anyone that isnt playing dies and doesnt ruin the game. It also makes people want to get to the top as quick as possible. This game is a million times better than trash compacter, especially because you actually can win. This is a game I will never delete.

    FEATURE THIS GAME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Man cannons didn't help the lag at all, and everything is so compacted in there they never actually pushed anything anyway. I remember in the original version the goal was to run out the clock, and now that the goal is to get to the top, there is no reward for staying alive at the bottom.

    I managed to get a game with friends and thoroughly enjoyed this map. It's a step up from trash compacter, it delivers some very entertaining situations, and cool concepts, like trapping your foe and hearing them panic of the eventual spawn of the kill ball. While this is kind of a remade concept, it has a feel of a brand new mini-game, which is what I crave Halo for. Great map, with some great forging.

    It's downloading now i can't wait to play this map it looks so well thought and and forged. i like how the teleporters work with the sender on top makes it look alot different very smart. this map is like trash compactor / garbage man. but i hated trash compactor because everyone jsut sat at the back and never got hurt and the zombie would never come down some times or he can jump out of the map. but this looks pretty solid i'll give it a try in customs soon but good job

    I like how rather than having the player be able to bunker themselves under objects like in The Vent, they HAVE to move up or they die, and if you survive long enough, you get to kill the Zombie!

    Great map. If only all the little kids on Halo 3 could download stuff on ForgeHub, rather than use Halo variants and The Vent, Left 4 Dead, and other highly common unimpressive stuff.

    Dude, I actually had the idea of making a Tetris map a few days ago, and I made one. However, it was just some blocks falling into a box, and people needing to climb them to get to the top. It was not this well made and thought out. Fantastic job!
    I'll be downloading this one ASAP.

    I loved this map
    I played it with a friend, it was great learning about all of the little tips and tricks
    One which I used was hiding at the teleporter as the zombie. Failed nearly every time though.
    I also enjoyed grabbing the prowler for my own use

    When I was making the map, the prowler was a hard choice to settle on, the main problem being that people can grab it. In the end I decided that it was fine, because if anyone DOES grab it, they have a higher risk of falling in, and you need to expose yourself to the humans to actually flip it the right way.

    this map is awesome. I remember playing it with you with a smile on my face. Being a zombie is kinda boring, but it pays off when you splatter someone :) I also like how you added a safe-proof system if some zombie try to be a smart ass and not knock anything down, your still able to get up. All in all, a very fun game for large parties.

    I love playing this with my friends, it's so fun. I'm glad you made the walls a little crooked so people can't cheat. but it is fun when you get a grav lift and a broken column and then just rise up out of the pit and kill the guy haha. Great map.

    + Very unique and fun gameplay.
    + Great for a small party game when your waiting for people to join.

    - It is possible to get outside of the map as a human.
    - Gameplay gets repetitive after a few rounds.

    Score: 7.5/10

    You are supposed to get out, that's how you kill the zombie and win the game, and taking the teleporters bring you to a bunch of weapons that kill him faster.

    This game is really good. Nice creative thinking and also the use of an old arcade game! Nice job.

    But when a new floor comes and the killball spawns under it, the game gets a bit lagey for a second. I dont know how to fix it, but its pretty bad lag!

    A flaw, When sombody picks up a grav lift, they can use it from mid level to teleporters.
    Apart from that, great map!

    I love the game Tetris, so obviously had to look at this. I like the concept of this game, but perhaps a couple of suggestions.

    1.) Tetris is a 2 dimensional game. The pit you created is 2 blocks by 2 blocks. Perhaps make it 2 blocks wide by 1 block depth. This allows the items dropped into the pit to actually pile up.
    2.) I know that you're probably thinking that suggestion 1 will not give you much space for sufficient spawn points... but you can always have players "drop" into the pit from spawn points placed at varying heights. Any players that join part way into the game should spawn on a spawn point that is not currently blocked by an object... so if the lower spawn points are blocked by kill balls or objects, a new player will most likely spawn from a point higher up in the pit.
    3.) To give the items dropping a little more "force" to do some damage, I was thinking that maybe putting grav lifts or mancannons at the top of the pit facing down towards the bottom of the pit to accomplish that.
    4.) Put the top of the pit on the grid for the skybubble and the rest of the pit glitched below the grid. This will make it so the zombie can't ever jump into the pit.

    Not sure if #4 is plausible, but just some suggestions for you to ponder about.
