the pickups are just intelligence boxes. also the damage rampup in the mindscape is really fast. if you enter it with just as econd left to go its a death sentence. and the voice changer sometimes plays a normal sounding voice instead of the robotic voice

 

[The Rat MMan]

Honestly it would be more funnier if both brains explode on round win

I checked out _b4b with about 10 people just to get some gut feedback responses.

1. About half the people found the voice over to be very annoying. I wasn't one of them, so I can't elaborate, unfortunately.
2. A little more relevant: the brain world capture zone caused some confusion. I had one player not grok what the white square lightning indicated, and multiple players run into the middle of the capture zone and get frustrated when they were teleported out.

I think the "teleporter as nonlethal hazard" idea is pretty neat, but I think it would be a good idea for it to be made more obvious somehow.

Overall, map looks great, and I like the way fights play out so far, in both the over and underworlds.
