Review by Kim Robinson on 2nd August 2007
The third level in the Orbital Oblivion episode, GnuStella Network is an absolutely top-notch level from resident mapper Fernando. Design and architecture are superbe with very clever use of rooms-over-rooms and spritework - as a result the level connects up with itself quite satisfyingly, if that makes any sort of sense. Texture use is great and shadows are nicely realistic, which are always a plus.
Fernando has deftly combined intense gun battles with problem solving; there's some very neat puzzles worth looking out for. I admit to having to restart the level because I blew up a control room support column and then legged it without stopping to survey the damage - but I won't give too much away.
Check out this excellent map today!
