    This is probably, if not the toughest, one of THE MOST challenging puzzle maps out there. I dare you to beat it.

    This took a lot of time and effort to make. Its aesthetically pleasing, as well as confusing.

    Screenies:

    There are structures in the sky...but how do i get to them??

    That is all. More screenshots could probably give away some of the secrets of the map.

    Things you should probably know:
    1) There are 2 dead ends. If you get stuck in one of them, you'll know.
    2) There is a checkpoint after the first part of the puzzle.

    ANYONE WHO DOWNLOADED THE MAP WITHIN THE FIRST COUPLE HOURS OF ME POSTING IT SHOULD RE-DOWNLOAD
    THERE WAS AN ERROR AND I MISTAKENLY UPLOADED AN EARLIER VERSION.
    YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO JUMP THROUGH THE TELEPORTER IN THE BLUE BASE

    wow, thats cool, but you need some traps so if they mess up, bad things happen, like fall into teleporters that spawn them into the gaurdian shooting area or set a custom powerup to fling a block at them either splattering them or knocking them off the edge... 8/10

    first off, you need to change the name of your post so that it only contains the name of your map.

    The puzzle actually looks pretty hard. I think you used a teleporter somewhere to get up to the sky bubble so that will be interesting to find. One question, did you use things like finding turrets or mongooses in the walls to move on because now in days they ruin puzzle maps. also, could we please have a few hints besides for the ones stated that like helped out with individual chaleenges. Right now I give it a 4/5 but that could change depending on the difficulty.

    it does look aesthetically pleasing. I'm not sure why you left the cetral ground (sandbox) with default layout, but I guess that's your choice. Does it continue inside of crypt?

    You need to change your title to only the map name ok, thats first.

    Also, give us more hints pls and for individual puzzles, and show a screenie for at least about half of the puzzles. Like the guy above said pls tell me you didnt do mongoose finding and turrets. right now its about A 3-4/5

    based on what I saw the map looks pretty good, but the only thing is that i need more pictures to look at to see the map and get a good feel of it

    Looks pretty good, I'd ask for a bit more screenshots but I don't want you to give it away.
    I'm DLing now & I'll play it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow and give you a rating :)

    I downloaded it, played it and I found something. (I think)

    I think that it was intended for you to get the grav lift and go into the teleporter that is used to get into the sky bubble. Sadly, that teleport only appears in forge... so you can't get into the sky bubble in a custom game.

    Unless I am wrong, which I think I am, please tell me.

    Good Idea but yea... It only shows up in forge.
    But what I THINK you can do is put another teleport directy in the same spot of the one in forge mode and then do that... BUT that would be to easy lol

    Umm...

    Your map has a flaw. You required us to use the gravity lift to get to the teleporter that you can only see in forge.

    This map is immposible without forge...

    The teleporter is there in custom games, it's just invisible. You can still go through it.

    Ooh.. That explains it..

    I got the gravity lift and I had no idea what to do. I actually wandered around the middle area for half an hour and finally decided to quit. I thought you had to find a hidden sniper out in the dunes and shoot a pallet on top of the teleporter...But that doesn't explain why you have limited ammo. Did you put that fake teleporter just to throw us off?

    I dunno if I should give it away now or not... I'll let you guys run in circles for a bit.

    I'll tell ya, it's not easy.

    Hint: you will need to be quick on your feet to accomplish the task

    If you try jumping through it, and its blocked, you're fine.
