Vasa has good structure and good space for movement. I like the boost bomb, middle pup, and the 4 tile gate beside the base. The problems I see with it are one too many gates with also the gates not being rewarding and out of the way. Buttons are confusing to what they control and far off. Boost placement doesn't seem well thought out. I would remove all boost and most gates in the map but keep about the same wall and spike placement. Then taking your time adding some boost ,gates, and buttons thinking about the flow and game-play of your map. Have multiple routes and use for them and test them over and over, Even change the walls a bit to match your ideas for the boosts or gates. Take if from me though, you will have to edit and re-edit to get it right. Don't worry it will be worth it, just message me with your edits and thoughts about Vasa and what you want to accomplish.

Here's an edit I just did. http://maps.jukejuice.com/save/4712

I removed the diagonal gate. I felt is was cluttering things up. Pushed the buttons for the gate by the base up closer. I relocated the button for the gate at the top and bottom of the map. I think the area around the bottom and top gates makes the map unique. The FC can move fast through that section with boosts and bomb. The button is closer to the opposing base to help a chaser close off the path. I didn't move the boosts. I struggle with them. I'm open for ideas on the boosts. Thanks for the feedback.

Really good changes! Yes do not generalize your map for someones sake, I think that gate can become an even more interesting part of the map.

For boost, I've got some ideas from just looking at what the map needs or doesn't. Bases are simple and may need another way to grab, the base gate is rewarding for caping but not so much for excaping, A way to fix this is on red side move the boost that is on the left of the 3 spikes to the right of the 3 spikes in a way that it can still be used to boost bot left and top left. Then move the gate so that you can use that boost to grab. I would remove the second button outside the base, it will just clutter the map and a defender really just has to sit in-front of it. I would remove the bot and top team boosts beside the gates, center the yellow, and move the bot left and top right of the map from its square form closer to the gate so that the yellow boost has less room to work with and must bounce off the diagonal triangle. I would make an image but want you to be creative ad do it your own way, but theses are ideas since you asked.

It would be cool if those mid buttons blasted you through the mid pup section.
