Hello StarEdit Community, I am in need for some beta testers
for my new Cat and Mouse Desert game. Maybe even feedback
on what I should add. Everyone who helps will get credit. (The
only problem with this is my wireless internet wont let me host,
so I need someone to host it for me when we test).

Needs more deco and it's not a good idea to stack 60+ minerals at every base. That will give mice too fast of an income, making it super rigged.

deco??????? elaborate please.

Deco means decoration. Duh.

Also, I think there are too many mouse holes. The cat runs into a mouse hole, then takes an alternative route to get past it, and then runs into another pair of mouse holes. I'd suggest only having mouse holes at certain bases, and not in the pathways.

Not to mention that only few units can actually go into the 1 tile "traps". With mice having dropships, well thats just gay.

Dude theres way too many minerals. CCMU will probably occur.

I will edit the game and re post but keep commenting please.

Just a few pointers:

- Avoid stacking minerals, if anything, you should only stack minerals for Cats.
- Avoid long, long mazes, if this is a must, make it 2x2 tiles.
- Insert a unit called "Vi3t-X" and make it a floor trap.
- With such a large map size, Cats cannot reach all the mice in a well timed manner, either raise the killing power of the cats, or raise the price of mice units. Namely the dropship and the scv.
- When making traps, make sure some traps will infact, hinder the mice, and not just the cats.
- Anti-MapHax
- Perhaps you could make barriers with the minerals, so it would both help AND hinder the mice.

Random suggestions. Woowee.

vi3t-x, what sprite do you use for anti map hack? whenever i look at maps that have it and place the same sprite in my map, it just turns into a unit in-game. =\

The first Desert was perfectly balanced, if you can re-create that with a new maze, perfect, anything added or subtracted from one side makes it unbalanced, I managed to win every game as either mouse or as cat, so I know for a fact it was balanced for both.

Demonslayer, check Temple Siege v1.2. The maphack works. (lol i was hacking once)
Just copy and paste.

There should be stacked minerals closer to the start - more risk, more money. And cats should be able to buy really good units/

Could those of us who aren't capable of playing StarCraft at the moment be provided with some screenshots? Thank you.

exactly^^
maybe you should make "vision-block-terrain" at the bottun, so the cat workers cant see the terrain above [maybe see the mouse then, unfair, "chat"]
"vision-block-terrain" = higher elivation terrain
rest is pretty good made

(edit)
between... those "zick-zack" ways are unfair
because cats can't walk though vertical 1x1 squares.... boring^^

(edit)
between.. i looked up the locations...
at the start location [middle] there is on the upper left square a loaction named "secret"
i did not found any trigger about it... so what is it for?

NEVER!

For a Desert, mazes are unrealistic. Perhaps one day, someone (or me) will make a REALISTIC environment for Desert. Then again, the only cats would be lions...

May be too many mouse holes, buttttt.... I think there are to many Cat VS. Mouse games. LOL sorry for the negative feedback, nothing towards you creator.

Long ago I had a Cat and Mice Desert Maze map that was rigged for both sides so much that it was equal... But, no one has it anymore. It was like 2.5.3.5 or something like that as a Version Number. It was a while ago, and I lost that map...
