Quote:I- Frozen Pipelines (Eggplant #32): Ice mazes have kind of fallen into the same category as blue wall mazes to many players: they represent the tedium of testing everything before the level can be completed. What elevated the ice mazes of CC1 above the norm was that they actually carried a lot of artistic merit. The designs of I Slide and Ice Cube are absolutely gorgeous. This level has its own unique design style that puts it above its ice maze peers, with criss-crossing paths meant to represent pipes and various 3x3 “stations” where you can choose from different paths. What makes this network of paths so neat to navigate is that each of the branches from the 3x3 stations is non-complicated and simple to follow; some of the paths lead to entirely different stations, and enough of these exist to make going back to where you started much less frustrating than it could have been. It’s also refreshing to see an ice maze that has an exterior area that’s not icy at all. All in all, a wonderful level.
This made my day
