So I haven't given my proper opinion on this.. here goes. ;)

It is simply stunning. The terraforming is 10x better than Hungry Hills where you could see the obvious Voxel brush marks everywhere, and especially a lot more creative. This part of the map is quite possibly the best and most beautiful piece of terraforming I've ever seen; and trust me, I've seen a lot.

However, I do not think that the builds are as good as those in Hungry Hills. They are very basic, mostly made of stone sculptures that do not really make much of an impression. It's just temples, everywhere. I also feel like the floating wood huts do not look too great, and are very basic.

The main problem with this map is lag though. I've a pretty good computer, and I still get missing chunks and a FPS drop. However, the map is breathtaking, and if it does not come in the top 3, something is wrong.

Thanks for the review! :)
Though personally, It think the temples were good. They are spot on with the kind of temples that we wanted. However, you're probably right about the wooden huts though. If you wanted to see more of our more complex builds, then you should see Cloud Nine. It's not finished yet because the contest held it back. But it's getting there.

Oh, I'm not sure but that lag might be caused by the fact you fly faster. If not, I'm not sure. None of us really got any lag drops. Does it happen when you look in a certain direction or at certain places?

So...those floating lapis blocks...

EDIT: who else has already started planning a chest route?

Hmm, I suppose it probably is that I'm flying around and not giving the chunks time to load. :p I think I forgot to mention this, but there are so many creative ideas in this (especially the deathmatch arena) that are just so cool and never been seen/done before. Plus, it's a jungle so I love it even more <3

Okay, stop being so flattering before I start loving you.

Colossal is a good word for it - the sense of scale is fantastic.
