DESCRIPTION: It's the all-so-sweet pleasure of playing a mindless obstacle course AND a testing puzzle map. "But wait!", you ask, "Isn't that rather contradictory?" No, my friend. No, it is not. DESCRIPTION, CONTINUED: So I've got your attention, eh? Well, I've always loved playing obstacle courses... but seriously, who wants to go mindlessly prowling around jumping here, jumping there, jumping, jumping, jumping, on and on and on and on again??? The same goes for puzzle maps. I mean, I deeply respect those people who come up with mind boggling puzzles... but I just don't have the time or motivation to figure out their puzzles for hours at a time! That's where Puzzacle comes in. It takes the directness of an obstacle course, then adds a tricky twist here or there. Take, for instance, the first two stages of this map. The first is simply a jumping course. The second stage, however, requires a bit more thinking than the first. And so the stages go. BUT don't think that the two ideas remain completely separate throughout the puzzacle. Who knows, maybe you'll receive a little dosage of both in one stage later on in the course Now I don't want to give away all of the stages, so I'm just going to move on to the visuals... Enjoy!

Oh shi- Tricky tricky Nature and metal meet again But what could it mean?!?! The End As you may have noticed, it's not the longest map ever created. In fact, there are only six stages, each separated by mostly teleporters. But please, I'm being honest with you, don't judge based on appearances. My goal was to make a map that incorporated two ideas so as to boost replay value and the overall fun-factor. It may be short, but at least it's sweet.

That was fun. Quick but enjoyable. I like the ways you balanced all the powerups. I'm anxious to see what other sort of puzzle aspects people can come up with for armor abilities
Thanks. Yea, i had a bit of trouble with balancing the powerups. I had to switch the stage orders a few times because some of the armor abilities/grenades were getting in the way of the stages later on. Glad you enjoyed it. That's what it's meant for, and yeah, it can be difficult coming up with puzzle aspects. I remember spending a good 30 min just on trying to fit a hologram in there, but couldn't think of any way to use it
This a good fun map. Like you said not the most intense map or anything but its pretty good nonetheless. I do like it. I have passed it before but i forgot how to get pass the golf ball. Which sucks lol. I will figure it out at some point or another.
