Story

none behind you are just in a warehouse full of crates and you only aim is to break them, but pay attention there are some particular crates that can open well hidden place, you aim is simple just try to destroy all of them (1000)

Review :

I need to admin that after a first rush i just didn' t directly understand that you need not only to break but only to think what to do end when to brake, so I really after 10min wanted to stop this one...

Design

Even if the main objective in this map is to brake crates the author didn't only focus on it but also create an enjoyable 'crates depot' where you will need to walk arround pushing button to activate some chain transport or conveyor belt or transport colored box that have different use it's certainly not a big map but the way you travel through really makes you like it a lot the author also well squale the entire map and pay attention to those unreachable area, the well organized building with travel on 3 floors and small detail like the truck

Gameplay

We all like to smash those crates to find something behind but when you have so much to brake could it be also fun...the answers was for me without no doubt, after a second more thinking try: YES.
You hav really to think in wich order you will make you work and also you will fast find some special colored crates that have a particulary behavior and use of them magic, exploding, burning,attaking...

there is also some voice help in some case (not always from perfect understanding) and the motivation when you reach a certain amount of braking crates  travel through elevator or stair also is a question of personnal aproach  and will certainly increase you gaming time.

In conclusion: Regrading this special mission a too highly detailed review will certainly spoil a lot of enjoyement so there is anything to detail more just make you best through thinking and braking to reach those 1000 broken crates.
