Combining two of the best things in the word: [del]AI and luci..[/del] Explosions and green goo, I present to you:
Banelings
Banelings is a 4-player Free-for-all map taking place on a modified Metalopolis.
It's currently being developed by team Celesti(which is just a fancy way of saying me and Bloodcount)
There are three points of interest on the map. There are two tentacles(that act like control points) on the opposite sides of the map and there's also a huge nydus worm in the middle.
The goal is to be the first to gain 100 points. Points are gained by feeding the nydus worm in the middle by simply rolling your banelings into it.
However, you can't just roll them in there, you have to control at least one of the tentacles to be able to feed the nydus. If you control both of them, you'll earn extra point for each baneling you feed.
By killing the enemy banelings, you get minerals with which you can buy upgrades.
These upgrades can be applied to a bunch of banelings by your hatchery.
An upgraded baneling has a different effect when it explodes. It might explode into a psi storm or maybe it creates a ring of force field to block or trap enemy banelings.
To say that the map is easy to learn, but hard to master would be extremely true.
It's easy to just take your banelings(which spawn automatically, up to a cap) and go blow up your opponents' banelings but with better micro you can accomplish so much more. The skill roof is EXTREMELY high.
Now here's an introduction video with some gameplay:

The map is barely playable at the moment. We're planning to add more baneling effects(Currently 5) and some other upgrades that affect baneling stats, cap, spawning time and such.
