Pros:
It was entertaining, and quite a challenge even with 4 players. The playthrough was fun, and there was much enjoyment out of the Coil Satan that jumped out of the coffin thing.
Cons:
The unlock tree was a but buggy, and so were the teleport portals. Also the alligator with Coil Satan at the end made no sense.
Conclusion:
A great challenge that was entertaining. The bugs were hardly a problem.

Pros:
-Great theme -The moving tech tree is great -No rocket to stay and build this time -Moving through the area is cool
Cons:
-Building is pointless as you leave the area right away -Tech tree glitches(but you can't fix that) -I didnt know I had to turn the wheels later, I just didnt notice them(not the first 3) -Too hard, even on easy -AI got stuck a few times, also killed themselves
Conclusion:
Cool map, but too hard and the AI glitching bothered me greatly

Pros:
Very nice enviroments Nice, epic music Very intense Bots are great at protecting yo' ass
Cons:
Horrible, horrible ending Sometimes the bots falls & dies. ALOT Building is kinda useless as you continuously move ownards
Conclusion:
Good map, but you're probably not going to play it after you've beat it once

Pros:
+Custom musics +Nice environment +Button to turn of music if people want to turn it off +Great idea on the map +Cool ways on opening new areas +SI are good on this map +Fixed the crashing for me +Has Versus
Cons:
-What... Bots just jumped and killed theirselves :O except for 1 bot -still laggy when i was looking down , turned off my shader which fixed most of the lagg. -Killing a tank is difficult with only having a pistol, but the custom music was fitting the deadly event. -No idea what to do besides researching weapons. I assume turn those wheels? (explenation came after i died in the map) -bots teleport near the tech-tree and have trouble getting on the raised grounds. they also get stuck getting in front of the tech-tree and receive massive damage. -Once that gate opened (kinda forgot how i did it) the techtree was gone. I turned the wheel inside there , i knew an new area came available. Just did not knew what area and where it was. -Too difficult on easy with bots , i died soo much times after the first 10 minutes.
Conclusion:
I never managed to finish this map at all on easy with bots. It was possible on the original LBAR map. This has a very nice environment and gameplay , full of ideas and new stuff. Main thing that is annoying on this map , is not knowing of what to do. I had to restart a couple times to find out what to do next because i kept dieng. After the third time i got a bit bored and quit. also , the bots are a bit annoying. (getting stuck near the tech-tree , not moving and getting swarmed by the zombies) Personally , i'd rather give some hints... Such as turning a wheel near the tech-tree in start which gives a glow to one of those 3 wheels for 5-10 Seconds. Didn't made much reviews and such , but this map looks awesome and has nice ideas and features in it.

Pros:
Creative take on the Lets Build A map theme Custom music Dynamic Research board Plenty of buildables and stuff The firewall thingy on the first part of the map Portals The easter egg surprise Unique ending More than just one room to go to for the map Smooth FPS SI and common infected spawning seemed fair
Cons:
The research board and its messed up color thingy (I understand the reason, but Im just listing it for general purposes) Knowing about the ladders that are lined up with those ivy vines, is not specified. The wheels turn, even after having them used. (I'll test them again to make sure, but as of last update, they did)
Conclusion:
Overall, a nice, big and adventurous map that has so much to offer. A real life Indiana Jones theme to it and just like the space map, its very well thought out and very fun to play, over and over again.

Pros:
- Great theme & aesthetic. - Original music. - Very immersive before anything even happens. The setting and downward path is very inviting for exploration. - Pretty good zombie flow. - Good iteration of rimrook's system. The barricades were laid out in logical places. - Decent balance and difficulty. - Overall fun map and a great step forward in the "Lets Build" category.
Cons:
- Intro cutscene cannot be skipped and doesn't really explain the "escape" goal. - Layout is confusing and there's no real indication beyond the first lever as to what you need to do and why you're doing it. There's no real sense of direction. - Nobody playing realized that the weird fire walls were portals until way too late into the game. There should be some sort of text hint that lets players know that they can get around much easier with them. - The map is still very buggy. The research center's textures glitch and seem as though half the tree has been unlocked when it obviously hasn't. - The map made the entire game crash fairly early into the game. There were only about 30~ zombies when it happened so it wasn't a graphical error.
Conclusion:
While immediately immersive and inviting, there's still a lot of work to be done. The map feels as though it was created in a backwards fashion (aesthetics & polish first, gameplay second). While its a bit late for a re-worked layout, some text hints will greatly help the flow of the first few minutes of the game. The player should know exactly what needs to be done and why it needs to be done within the first minute. The cut scene wasn't enough and only really explains the barricade side of the game & neglects the goal. On the technical side of things, the mapping is very creative and above par compared to a lot of maps. Its very creative and has some great aesthetics. Visually, this map does what a map in any video game is supposed to do: immerse the player. There's a certain quality to the map that makes it forgiving to a lot of the bugs that it has and makes you want to give it a second or third shot after your game has crashed entirely. In conclusion, its a fun map with some great aesthetics. Definitely one of the better "Lets Build" maps and most certainly a worthy candidate to win the "Lets Build" contest. If the bugs are ironed out before a final release, this will definitely be an 9/10 rated map. Final Say: Download it & stick around for updates.

Pros:
- Great layout - Good difficulty - Nice fence placement
Cons:
- Sometimes a tank spawn really early - Buggy :(
Conclusion:
Overall a great Let's Build map. The only problem is it keeps crashing on us. Usually at the wheel on the lower level off to the right, but sometimes while researching. If it were less buggy would be on the of the best Let's Build maps.

Cons:
-As with all let's build maps, the bots are utterly useless -The tech centre looks like most of the items have already been unlocked -Bots don't use the teleporters (from my knowledge) -Couple spelling mistakes, which don't matter whatsoever :P
Conclusion:
Awesome map, really great fun and replayability. Could use a few fixes

Pros:
-A rather nice poster -Nice concept -Good music -Let's build
Cons:
-Laggy -Some things look unlocked at a angle -Bots get stuck in front of the zombie spawn -Bots often fall to there death -Bots really just need better nav
Conclusion:
I like the map, it looks great and is fun, but everyone but Bill either dies or gets stuck (Not sure why Bill does not die). There is a large amount of lag and it makes it very hard and annoying, but other wise it is fun and has a great concept to it, I also like the font on the poster. Keep up the work
