Dark Star is incredible - one of the best things I've played lately. Yes, it's very, very hard in spots, but well-balanced and beatable at any difficulty level. But that's not the only thing that makes Dark Star so cool - it has amazing visuals. I wish you'd finish it off and maybe double the number of levels. There are a lot of people here with great ideas for scnearios and some are excellent, but you have mapmaking talent and that is not something easily acquired. Very few mapmakers can match what you've done.
Marzo - you don't need to emulate RyokoTK - just try to seek a balance between difficulty and playability. You have the start of a very good scenario - just make it more playable. And try to get rid of some of those suicide traps and sticky or bouncy polys.
