Temple Of Apocalypse

Let's start with the title of this map. Well, according to the readme, it's called Temple of Apocalypse, but the name of the map is FFA KOA. Yeah, I don't get it either. But, okay.

The design of this map reminds me a little of Bespin Streets. And it's not just the pad that gives me that feeling. The buildings, some of the textures and just the way everything is laid out. I like the simple design. It'll probably be good for some mindless FFAing. However, I'm not fond of the textures used in this map. That multicolored look for the stairs bugs me. It's not quite tech-y, nor is it stone. It looks like it's trying to be marble, but it doesn't pull it off. And then there are these water things that run down the stairs on the sides, but the water is greenish, and it doesn't flow downward - so it looks a little odd. The buildings look fine, but with that natural rock texture next to it, it all just kinda clashes.

Speaking of clashing, the lamps everywhere with that bluish tint look great with the peach/pink, I think, but then you turn around and there are these twirly fire thingies (I've see those somewhere before, I know it) and they just don't work together. The author doesn't break the trend of mixing two themes that just don't work together when he added the music. It has this tribal sound to it, with like, an asian flavor and then, I swear, an 80's music sound here and there. I'm so confused. I like the simplicity of the map, but I don't like the textures.
