    Fish ina B4rrel is my first map to upload here and at forgehub, so I hope this works :p

    Thanks to Creepy Pie for help forging.

    Ok, so

    Title: Fish ina B4rrel
    What goes around...

    Description:

    Fish ina B4rrel was named as such for two reasons:

    1: I can't fit any more letters

    2: Players spawn inside a "barrel" which has no escape
    other than two teleporters at the top...more on this later. Anyway, a zombie spawns above and wants to eat fish so he shoots his laser/rocket at them.

    At first, only two mancannons are on the walls. However, as time progresses, more spawn, creating a loop of centrifugal doom! Grav lifts also spawn to stop humans from hiding...
    The zombie, after 2 and 1/2 minutes is forced to teleport down through some teleporter shenanigans, in range of fishy retaliation.

    The madness ensues. Oh, and if somehow a fish is launched out of the barrel (through two holes at the top) they will find themselves teleported into a room from which there is no escape! At this point, they can do nothing except die and watch their friends die to the fish-loving zombie.

    That's about it. Please comment and try it for yourself. If you need more people to play, don't hesitate to invite me.

    This map is best with many people, but 5-8 is probably a good range.

    Oh, and the Last Fish Swimming gets some power-ups..........

    Anyway, let me know what you think about it. Here are the pics:

    A zombie spawns. This is where the zombie will spawn on the map...watch out for him...

    The Beginning. This is what it looks like at the start.

    Mission Time: 0:00:30 This is what the map looks like with all cannons and lifts spawned.
    [​IMG]


    Penalty! This is the penalty room where fishies who jumped the bucket go...

    Zombie vs. Fish It doesn't end well for the fish...nothing can stand up to lazers.

    And that's it. If you want to know anything else about it, please post replies. Like I said, this was my first post on forgehub (a map) so I may have forgotten something.

    Enjoy.

    And I need to change signature, but...later.

    well it looks extremely overpowering to the zombie. The fish would just spin around and die. how long are the rounds? 30 seconds? i dont know if this idea is ready to be released. you should work on it and make it more.... even.

    It looks cool, the humans spin and the zombies got to time it right

    very intresting. may be hard for a zombie to lazer a fish when all the fish do is spin very fast. still cool though.

    Well hard for some people to laser the humans, for those of use that are very skilled with the laser it can be quite enjoyable, (I was one of the beta testers so i know)

    Well, this map is supposed to be kinda like hobo heights, you know? I mean, fishies have a chance to avoid starting to spin around IF they can work together to jump/destroy grav lifts...all i know is that when I've played it, it's always been really hectic and enjoyable.

    But thank you for your response--I'll be changing up the map, maybe making a v2 of it if people like it enough.

    And I forgot to answer your question. The rounds are 3 minutes long to keep things short, but rounds may end sooner. 2 min 30 sec in, the zombie is teleported down to fishies to give the fishies a better chance.

    Sounds really fun. Lmao "watch your friends die to the fish-loving zombie." This is a map that explains why I love mini-games

    Look back at the screenshots. The zombie SPAWNS with a rocket and a spartan laser. So he does have guns. He also gets a grav hammer later...but I think i forgot to tell you that.

    Second, it's supposed to be like hobo heights, you know? Except that in my map, you actually can kill the zombie. I made it fairly difficult because there's 1 zombie and X fishies.

    I appreciate your comment though. When I take another look at this map (once I'm done with the one I'm working on) I will be sure to try balancing it a little more.
