– Adventure – Story – Single/Multi Player – Short Length -
The Juggler was born from mechanic “setblock” and “summon”. When I realised I could make someone juggle, I did. He can. He took on a life of his own and started demanding more things to juggle. More and more, he would juggle every day and every night. The demands continued and this map was born. Part tech demo, part adventure map and a huge part of juvenille humor created this 20 minute Minecraft experience that everyone should try. Go on. Play with “The Jugglers Balls”.

Review Summary
Stunning special effects, light-hearted story with some crude allusions but no outright foul language. The map is played on peaceful, without significant logic puzzles, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Um...Jigarbov, I think that the name sounds a bit wrong...balls? One of your tags is balls too...You seem excited about the fact that your map has balls...

this map sucked because u didint put voice, on all those parts where the farmer and the juggler were talking in chat, u could of used the new sound feature and made them all talk, u know with voices and everything, acual sound files being played of them talking
Just because it doesn't have any voices doesn't mean the map sucks.
It has music, if that is what you are looking for.
In other news: The Jugglers Balls by Jigarbov Creativity: 3. It's a map about the Juggler's balls. But it seems to deliver more than that.
This was made to be humorous and show off 1.7 features, and it seems to deliver on those promises. Jig uses many tricks, such as the /setblock and /summon command, a fully active quest log, craziness, crude allusions to other Minecraft map-related.. stuff, and even more craziness. I'm not sure how to describe craziness. Better figure it out for yourself, eh? *wink, wink*
Detail: 2.5. I was debating whether to give you a 2 or a 2.5 on this, but I decided to give you a 2.5. Almost all of the landscape was built great, but there were some flaws like the barn near the farmer and the clouds partly looking like MCedit brush strokes in heaven. However, the crown jewel of this category is the redstone commands changing parts of the map. The setblock and summon command is used to change the Juggler as well as parts of the environment. For example, I especially like when the Juggler became whitened and faded away.
Difficulty: 2. There were some challenges in the map, but it overall seemed very easy. The light parkour/bow shooting was very easy, as the parkour was only 1 block wide and 1 block high. (Which is kind of good, because I don't like heavy parkour in adventure maps) The buttons to shoot were also easy as they were close to you. Besides the parkour/bow shooting, the most challenging part was at the end when you had to remember who you went to besides the farmer. Yeah, I'm sure people will get stumped on that.
And yes, I understand this is supposed to be part tech demo, part adventure map. But still, you could have done something to make it challenging.
Gameplay and Experience: 2.5. The gameplay consists of fetch quests, a minor puzzle near the end, and light parkour/bow shooting. Some of the objectives can get a bit repetitive at times, but the innovation and humor of the map itself makes the gameplay a lot better.
I loved the innovation in the gameplay and detail, and the map was overall very fun to play. However, the lack of difficulty and detail in some parts of the map kept me from fully enjoying this map. Even after all that, you should play this map if you are looking to be wowed by 1.7 tech.
Now if you excuse me, I am going to hum the Juggler theme song.
Overall Score™: 3 + 2.5 + 2 + 2.5 = 10/12. Fantastic. Keep it up, Jig! Diamonds to you. *hums*

I decided that poor voice acting is worse than no voice acting so I decided not to use voice acting. I'm sorry you think the map sucked just because it didn't have voice acting. I'm not sure you realize the kind of work goes into a fully voice acted map even if it's a short silly map like this. Still, thanks for the feedback, I will keep it in mind if I ever make another map... can't promise it will have voice acting though.

Thanks for the review! I'm actually surprised it rated so high to be honest since it is such a short map with not a lot of actual interaction going on, so I am very happy you rate it so high. Glad you enjoyed it!
(I've also had that theme song in my head for ages)
Comparing my review to Rsmalec's by using weird math percentage thingy, my review average is around 83%, and Ron's is 75%. We are kind of about the same (an 8% difference, not that much) so high may be an exaggeration there.
Glad you liked the review! I know that the map wasn't all about the gameplay, but the experience I had with the map more than made up for it!
I've also had that theme song in my head for ages.
Same here, as I did watch your Juggler videos before release. Get ready, the song is about to mess with your players.
I did bother to fiddle around with your note block music after the map was finished... I divided the music into 2 parts and ended up getting the variation that you found in The Juggler 4.0 (first 15 seconds)
And then I just started spamming the redstone torch and the music became mayhem.

Yeah I liked that variation in Juggler part 4, though it was an accident, I did think it sounded rather good.
Just saying, lag isn't so bad when playing on my laptop. But then, I got to the end of the map, and I got 1 fps. If only I could finish it...
Did you check out the "how to increase fps in 1.7" video? If you do that, you should be able to finish it. It seems that this map is exactly the time it takes for Minecraft to start lagging (at least for me)

Thanks for the review. Too bad there isn't a category for amount of balls. I think this map has it in spades! (Also your LP was hilarious)

Fun map, though. 15 minutes well spent.

Thanks You don't have to be sorry, I quite enjoy when people enjoy my maps!
115 I think... No I don't know, I didn't count xD
I was excited.
Glad to hear it! Comments like that are what keep me making maps.
