A wild mix of shapes, colors, and directions. You start thinking, “what is even happening here?”, and end with a smile. Abstract geometry, unexpected turns - feels like sliding through a digital dream.

Now it’s your turn to vote - and let the community decide!

 

Played them all? Felt the vibes? Time to pick your favorite and drop a vote - but remember: gameplay is what matters most.

Visuals are great, but the real value of a map lies in how it feels to play: how balanced, smooth, and engaging the movement is.

 

Each map is rated in 5 categories, listed below in order of importance:

  • Gameplay/Balance: How fun the map plays out, are there big unintended shortcuts, is difficulty kept the same throughout
  • Design: Is the map intuitive? Can people get easily lost? Is it overwhelming or underwhelming and etc.
  • Aesthetics/Visuals: How much the textures/visuals satisfy the eye. What is the level of immersion achieved with them.
  • Polish: Is the map well optimized, are there many bugs, visual issues, attention to detail and etc.
  • Theme: As there are no rules about the theme, this one is about how creative you can get with it and how well it is executed

 

Click the link and you’ve got one month to make it count. Vote smart - your decision really matters.

LEGEND* 1 - WORST ; 5 - BEST

 

The prize pool is €250, and may increase further. The winners take:

 

🥇 1st place – 60% (a clean victory)
🥈 2nd place – 30% (respect and glory)
🥉 3rd place – 10% (close to the crown)

 

Once the results are in, all maps become official — ready for WRs and demos. 

 

So grab your momentum, pick your path and let's slide, let's Kreedz!

at first requirements were "Difficulty: Easy, Easy-Medium, or Medium. Anything above Medium+ is strictly forbidden." so first map is auto-declined for voting since its medium-hard? or rules changed and i didn't see and i can vote for it?

From what I've been told, it's technically considered Medium, but due to knowledge gap, it was given 'Medium-Hard' difficulty. I.e. the moment you know what to do, it becomes rather easy. It's like strafing around a block, if you don't know where to go, it's perceived as harder than what it actually is. Either way, I told map admins to take into consideration the difficulty when voting, so this will affect the final score of the map for sure. It is penalized of sorts, but still available for voting.

im trying it for some time and its rly hard for me, no way its medium low~. this is clearly the best map but if it wins then rules are bent

If it bents the rules too much, we will take it into consideration for the final vote. Arte's been made aware from the very beginning about the difficulty. We could technically have a scenario for the 'best' map/score, but give the win to the highest place that follows the rules. Either way, all maps are likely to be accepted as official kreedz.com maps anyway. Btw, same rules will apply to spider1's map due to its length.

First of all, I would like to congratulate all the mappers who spent time designing such beautiful maps. However, I'm a bit disappointed to see such a small prize pool. Compared to the latest KZ tournament, which had a $1,000 prize pool, mapping has always been, and still is underrated. Yes, I agree, as a retired mapper, that mapping brings you joy. Probably nobody is doing it for the money, or at least not primarily, but that hard work still deserves more appreciation.

Prize pool depends on donations and what people are interested in. Both the KZ tournament and the slide contest began with the same prize pool offered by kreedz.com. Any increases to said prize pool are dependant on our donators.

It's great to see the creativity arte has in his maps, no one else comes close. I would never really have thought of maps as being artistic entities, but he manages to do it so well. Truly the Van Gogh of the mapping scene. V4R map also looks very pretty. It seems mappers just build things that have been built before, and simply fit it into their map with minor deviations, but arte brings something, cool, crash bandicoot-esque, QUIRKY is a great word. What an amazing human being, I would kill to get a glimpse into his extraordinary brain and have even a glimpse of his fluorescent creativity.
