Additional comments: This map may be small, yes, but is designed to be hectic and fast-paced. Spawns are located on the coloured (Red, Blue, Green or Yellow) platforms on the side. There is a large platform underneath and another up top. On the bottom platform there are jump-pads in each corner and 4 in the middle that take you to the upper platform. The entire map is open so be careful to not get knocked off!

Looks great :D
One thing I did see was lack of variation in platform level, meaning it looks a tad to flat in some areas.
Other than that, I think it would be a great map :D

I love the idea of this, very well designed and I think it would be very fun to play on.

The entire map is open so be careful to not get knocked off!

This bit I am not so sure about though, it seems like people could go around knocking each other off in one hit which would lead to more of a sword fight rather than a round of TNT Wars. We could add the boundaries in line with the edges of the platforms which would leave all around the bottom platform open as well as the top layer.

I think this would work well if we change the complete openness, although I understand it needs to be fairly open as that is what the map is about.

Could the redstone blocks please be changed to red wool, or something else? It is really annoying when you place TNT on it, as it turns into live tnt that is (usualy) harmless.

I have provided an alternate download with red wool instead of redstone blocks now.

This looks a lot like the old crosshairs + platforms (both CTNT). I like the idea! Would love to see play on it.

In my honest opinion this looks... bad. Sorry, but it's EXTREMELY flat, and it would be a pure sword abuse map.

And on such a flap map it just won't really be fun (FourCorners)

Sorry, but I really just think it looks bland, and would have horrible TNT gameplay.

Maybe if super high jump height was implemented like the AoD map that could make for an interesting game.
