The basic concept, a backwards ramp with a 'usual' (for other tilesets) ramp:


A substructure to surbstructure staircase:


And some random doodad combinations you may or may not find useful:


ADD:
Here is the map.

1st pic: Backwards is nice, useful. The bottom one's trap doesn't quite fit though.

2nd pic: Cool. Did you use traps on the walls at all? I can't really tell. You posted the map after I posted I see you didn't. I like it.

3rd pic: Neither looks very good, IMO.

1st one has height problems on the forwards ramp

1. The bottom one's trap is only 1 pixel off the grid. It seems off because of the two tiles that are directly above it - they were taken fro mthe stairs, which have no 'divisions/blocks' (that stuff which looks exactly like a floor trap)

2. Those are usual walls. No traps or sprites used on them.

3. Probably you're right. I've used the left one in a map: I placed gas tanks above it to make it look like some holding device. That stuff has very limited use, but I decided to post it anyway.

I didn't mean it was off the grid, I mean it overlaps with the tiles above it. Which, rereading your post, may have been what you meant.

In what way? You're going directly from floor to substructure. What height problems do you speak of?
That was what I meant.

First two are awesome, especially the second one, the last one is just basic, good job, very well done with only 1 trap. Also, have you tried making the backwards ramp larger?

The second one is so good I might use it if I ever decide to make another map, first one is good too, but I'm not a fan of Backwards ramps. I like the third one too, because I tend to run out of doodads very quickly, and have to start placing multiples in the same room.

Larger ramp.

The first backward ramp uses 3 traps - one missile trap in the middle and two gun traps on the sides to cover the wall blockyness.

Thank you all for the positive feedback. I'm glad you liked my work.

Hell you bet i like you're work, I always though instalation=blockyness but iw as wrong, and its cool!

meh... The back ramp is good, and the sub to sub is good, but the rest is just meh.
