Replayed this recently, enjoyed it far more than during my first playthrough(probably wasn't in the mood for such complexity/difficulty back then).
This will always be one of my favorite map sets. It has such a wonderfully hostile atmosphere complimented by Immorpher's soundtrack, almost reminding me of a more modern Warp Spasm, and doesn't hesitate to challenge the player with intense combat and jumping puzzles + secret hunting, all of which I have grown to absolutely love. You can tell a lot of care went into all the SMEJ content, and it will make you a better player!
A great start for an amazing group of mappers. Lots of hints at gameplay and thematic ideas that would go on to be fleshed out quite a bit in SMEJ2. Things can feel a bit disjointed, but that's part of the charm. Highlights include the sheer atmosphere of uKKo's map, the wild sandy-esque stylings of Newhouse, and the intensity of the Smilescythe and Mazu offerings.
The pack that started the modern mapping Episode revival in my eyes. A fantastic outing across the board. My personal favorite is uKKo's map, The atmosphere is so thick that I believe it is yet to be matched by another map in that regard.
