Layout is extremely simple and wouldn't really promote very well played games.  For visuals, I think their quite good, I personally would have made the map a bit lighter to somewhat of a whitish color.  I also would suggest you make the border polygons half-transparent to make it blend in with the background.  Overall, its still pretty good.

The layout is too simple- I wouldn't play it even if I was paid to do it.
The colours fit perfectly, but the overstretched ice imitating polygons are out of line. They look very distracting when they twitch on your monitor. Even though there isn't much to do on ice themed maps- it could've been scenerized more. Even when it is SO small.
The wooden bridge should have supports below the structure.

The design as a whole doesn't fit together if you ask me. The elements sort of don't harmonize with each other from looking at it. The layout is as said quite simply, but I have no problem with that, I guess a 1on1 could be quite fun on it, provided there are no or few polybugs.

There are no polybugs. For as far as I had tested it with some nade-spamming and m79 boosts.

I suppose the stretched texture would be a whole lot less distracting had I lowered the opacity on them some more.

As far as the gameplay and layout went, the layout was sketched onto a piece of paper no bigger than 2 inches in height and width. So I knew I wasn't expecting anything great from such a small map. It was particularly fun to make, though.

Simple, but nice. Needs to be bigger since gameplay would be chasing each other around that block.

Yep, same complaint but I shall repronounce it: gameplay looks no fun. It would have to at least have one more rock or platform for a decent one vs one. Eh, I don't really like the stretched polygons, but still nice work. I like the map for it being a good idea.
