| The terrain is OK for it's purpose, I wasn't expecting more of a 64x64 (I think that's the size) map. It could have been made more appealing, however.
The gameplay is original (in a way) and fun, featuring 3 different modes. Those were certainly a plus, but, in a map as small as this, a rematch would be in the order. Or, make various rounds and have a scoreboard to determinate the ultimate winner of the game.
I didn't test the Top Gun, but I saw enough of the two others to quickly understand that the map is nowhere near balanced - the Emperor Haosis unit was clearly imbalanced, as was Ralle's stomp. In the Spawn Control mode you either defeat the Emperor Haosis unit or you get trampled.
The lack of diversity is also notable, as is the lag. Until you fix that lag, the map is severely downgraded.

There is another thing to notice: the map contains high quality imported resources, but I have doubts as to if it was really necessary. 1 megabyte is doubtfully worth it for a game that lasts what, 10 minutes or less?
Septimus's spelling and grammar are well-known... I hate to critique it, but it makes the map look too unprofessional.

Invasion of MasterHaosis" is a style of mini-game about the Hive Workshop user, MasterHaosis, which has recently become some kind of... icon, amongst the community.
In this game you are attacked by masses of smilies, which you must destroy in one of the the 3 available modes - Top Gun, Spawn Control, or Challenge Ralle - to achieve victory.
