You have been sent to a weird magical world to collect 10 powerful magic symbols for a science team. These symbols are the heart of this world and gives it those bright colours and magic. Each symbol is located in it’s own area, protected by monsters and puzzles. The order in which you obtain the symbols is a different experience each time as a door to one of the zones will be opened at random from the start, and will do so for every symbol that has been retrieved, allowing for varied progression during every session.

White Light

Author: James "Phobus" Cresswell Release Date: April 2nd 2006

Introduction

Recently gave a read through of my older review as I have been taking an interest in going back to some maps I played in the past. I started to wonder what it was I found so difficult in the first place, and because of this forgetfulness, I thought it was time to give it another visit – some years later. White Light was originally intended for a brightness contest which never took off, and clearly sticks with that goal in mind. Let’s see how it went a second time.

Lo sota Olt

Introduction
It’s rare to see singleplayer map releases for this game and I thought Sock’s Edge of Forever would be one of the last for a very long while, so it’s nice to be greeted with something new to feast on and see what else has been presented, despite the limitations present in Quake 3 to do this. Lo Sota Olt was the only entry into ..::LvL’s Experimental Singleplayer Contest. It’s a bit of a shame that more interest wasn’t taken. Read on to see how it fares.

Mystic Radar

Author: RNG
Download: Sven Co-op Contest Map Pack

Introduction
An abandoned station with a large radar was discovered one night ago, but access wasn’t possible. On a cold and misty day, you’ve decided to try once more, managing to enter through a rusty door into a garage. Suddenly, the flashlights start to darken and you soon start to lose consciousness. Later as you Wake up, you come to find the door is gone along with your flashlights. The room is also different than the one you’ve entered through. There is a burning sensation going through your limbs and movement seems difficult, but you stand up anyway to try and solve this mystery.
