Etymology

Canine parvovirus is a disease that effects dogs. It is highly contagious and can be spread by direct or indirect contact with dog feces. Untreated, it's almost always fatal; treated puppies can make a full recovery. If you own a dog, you should learn more about parvo.

My Review

Aside from the massive desert that consumes the entire north end of the map, this level is quite exciting. There are two really awesome lava falls and -- hold on to your butts -- I found a pink sheep. That's right... the mighty pink sheep. Can't swear he'll be there for you, but he was around. Moving on, the mountains on the east side of this map are insane. This full map took longer than any other I've ever done simply because navigating these mountains is a huge hassle. The desert flatland is a good place to find clear, open land for a city and you're going to find many caves to explore. All told, a definite consideration for players looking for a challenge.

Images

This is another one of those times where I just couldn't limit it to two photos. At the top, you're going to see an amazing land bridge that actually spans catty-corner, which is unusual. If you're willing to do a little bit of digging first, you can turn this into a fun little cliff diving experience.

At right (above), you're going to see a table-top overhang that lives above the cloud line. Any lower, and the shadow would probably hide some baddies, but as it were, it's a nice place to hide in the clouds. Below that, this is a massive lava fall (at -108.68.-232) that clearly burned down all the trees in the immediate area.
