What is Lily Pack?
Lilypack is an, as of now, small map pack composed of six maps. It was created in a team effort* by Kapus and Yuri Sakazaki. The layouts and general design of most of the maps are done by Kapus, while Yuri focuses primarily on decoration, polish, and tying up loose ends (a lot more important than it sounds!). The maps in the pack are fairly simple, and while they may consist of some custom textures, they generally do not have any innovative gimmicks or features in their gameplay. Just basic layouts. I do hope you will enjoy playing on the maps despite that.
Each map has a Yasichi hidden somewhere, as is tradition. There may be extra easter eggs hidden somewhere, however..
*Captain Barlowe (and maybe some other guy (http://www.cutstuff.net/forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=967)) has volunteered to contribute in future versions of this project.
Well, what happened to Kappak then?
For all intents and purposes, this is Kappak! The maps in this pack, with the exception of the first and last, are all old Kappak maps brought back to life in a much more playable and enjoyable form. This project started off as an effort to revive Kappak with our new mapping experiences. We decided to add additional original maps into the mix and to change the name of the pack since it is no longer a solo effort.
Currently, only 4 of the old maps from Kappak have been brought back. However, later releases will revive some more old maps as well as bring in more brand new ones!
What are the maps?
LIL01 - Kitties' Palace

(http://i.imgur.com/VXfpfG2l.png)
A strange, colorful palace floating high above the clouds. Supposedly, this place has some connection with cats..
The palace's balcony is accompanied by fluffy cloud platforms for you to stand on. Beware when fighting outdoors, though--if you fall, you're out! The pink clouds are bouncy will send you flying away if you collide with them. Grab Sakugarne or Charge Kick for some extra fun!

(http://i.imgur.com/acQxVRLl.png)
Some sort of building is being constructed at this peaceful mountainside cave! What could it be for?
There are four entrances to the cave. Eddie is waiting in the lowest entrance, ready to be picked up. Be careful taking that route, though! People may be waiting with powerful Napalm Bombs or Danger Wrap to catch you.
You can sneak up on unsuspecting people with Star Crash for an offensive approach or harass people from afar with the likes of Mega Ball and Magnet Missile!

LIL03 - Sapphire Caverns

(http://i.imgur.com/OnCaGK3l.png)
Beautiful, icy caverns resting amongst a sparkling sea. The walls are filled with shiny crystals, and streams of water flow in and outside the caverns. The water may look pretty, but beware--it's frigid!
The outside areas are covered in snow and ice. What your step when traveling around cliffs and rivers! Rush Jet can help you traverse the caverns with ease, but watch out for Gravity Hold!

The entrance to Wily's snowy fortress. The doctor seems to keep a large water supply in this area.
Some of the areas are connected through tanks of water, which can be helpful if you need to make an escape from the chaos! Use Rain Flush and Remote Mine to catch crowds of people off guard.

Dust Crusher
Bubble Lead
Ice Slasher
Ring Boomerang
Wave Burner
Pharaoh Shot

LIL05 - MM4 Wily Stage 2

(http://i.imgur.com/Vczq5Fjl.png)
The basement portion of Wily's Castle. Dr. Wily's mechanical structures mix with rocky leftovers..
The fortress stretches long and wide, so you can attack people from afar with search snake or dive missile. The higher elevations have powerful weapons. Carry Wire Adaptor around to help you get them faster!
-Weapons-
Dive Missile
Search Snake
Dust Crusher
Needle Cannon
Screw Crusher
Rolling Cutter

LIL06 - Fovoham Peak
(http://i.imgur.com/17blmMTl.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/rvgsV1wl.png)
Steep, rocky cliffs that let out into the sea. A small hut rests at the top of the cliff. Wasn't there a windmill on there at some point..?
The cliffs are really steep! Be careful climbing them, as you may be a sitting duck for your opponents! Use the support items to your advantage. The cliff has many coves and caves for you to hide in if you take too much damage, but watch out for Slash Claw ambushes!
The water at the base of the cliff is very shallow, but there may be some pickups hiding beneath it..
-Weapons-
Dive Missile
Water Balloon
Thunder Beam
Search Snake
Flame Blast
Tornado Hold
Slash Claw
Screw Crusher
Napalm Bomb
Ice Wall
Remote Mine
Gravity Hold
================
Have fun trying these maps out, and stay tuned for more! Any comments or feedback are very welcome.
Alright, there are a few things that jumped out at me:
- General: the size of the pack is kinda big for the quantity of maps it has. I suggest looping your music more efficiently (looking at LILY06 on that, too.)
- LIL01: You should probably have some cloud platforms going up from the Gravity Hold platform so that players that reach there have a chance to go back if they ran out of Item 2.
- LIL02: There's a teleporter that makes players face a wall when used, and it also has a wrong texture. Here's a screenie.

Nothing else at the moment. LIL03 and 06 were great, though.The sparkles and recolored Shade Man rocks look fantastic. I wish I was able to decorate half as good as these maps look, too.

Treble Boost is on the map too btw.
Also love that you used that map.
Only thing that stuck out to me was in Wily 4 Stage 2.

This pit area in LIL01 doesn't kill players.

Also, there is a misplaced spawn here that throws whoever starts there into the pit. I mean, I should know. I spawned there, didn't move backwards, but still fell off.
