    Xenolythe is my newest and by far my best racetrack on Sandbox.
    It is double wide and has considerable length.
    The line of sight for Battle Snipes is very good,
    with some places giving you cover and some places where you are wide open to shots.
    There's a good balance between the two.

    I've never played Battle Tracks or Battle Snipes before, but this map sure makes me want to right now.

    The layout is, to be honest, fairly simple yet the construction was well done.

    I'm curious that in the sixth turn, you placed the blue light on the racetrack. But in the overview picture, it seems to be under. What's up with that?

    Anyways, nice racetrack. Hope to play my very first Battle Snipes game here.

    It looks amazing, but the only thing Im wondering is- why didnt you just build this in the Skybubble? it would have made everything easier, with this map, when you fall off, you need to take the time to go find a new mongoose and get back to the start. In the skybubble, you could just die and respawn.

    wow. goog job on the smoothness of this one. I really like the wooden part, giving it more variety and uniqueness. The only thing I would say is that u should have put in the bubble. To get out of the map seems very easy. And once u fall you are stuck out there.

    There are two blue lights there. One is under the second turn and the other one is floating above the two turns.

    Why did ShaddoBlade make Cherry Kiss on the ground level? I just did.

    This looks like a very good racetrack, Very nice Locking, the only flaw i see is the Sixth Turn, It looks like you can easily jump of the higher part onto the lower part, Unless the track before it splits, You might want to consider railings on the higher part of that track, Other than that, Great Map, 5/5, Commas Rule, Bye.

    The lower part of the track is closer to the beginning of the track so if you jump onto it, you would actually be going backwards so there is not gain for you to fall onto that lower part. Make sure you understand things before you say something.

    It is obvious this is NOT backburner but i find it has the same idea, whether its all the brown blocks i don't know (lol). You did however do an amazing job on forging this. This would be heaps of fun. something you could do next time is put in like a jump or a part that branches of into two "single wide" little pieces. In general make something that interests people and makes them want to download this. Happy Forging!

    I remember racing on it when it was still in construction and I was hooked. This has gotta be my favorite racetrack by far. The turns are banked, but still require some effort to nail. I think Battle Snipes is better on Cherry Kiss, but it is still amazing on this map. Sometimes I find it fun just to drop down and do the figure eight part a couple of times. It's smooth, uncheatable (one of my friends tried desperately), and really fun. Nice job.

    Two single wide tracks never work out because they're a lot harder to drive on. I will try to incorporate a jump into my next track though.

    Yeah, you kept getting joining forge sessions when I was forging this. Glad to hear you like and that it's uncheatable. I had tested some parts of it to make sure it's uncheatable, but not as thoroughly as your friend.
