    ... Epic sadface. Normally I would go into forge and fix that, but...

    here's where we're at: I no longer have the desire to patch this map. I worked on it for nearly three months for it to be torn apart by the open course layout. I fail at making puzzles, any further breaks that are found will be irrelevant to point out because I'm not going to fix it.

    Thank you to everyone who has downloaded, if you enjoyed it, I'm glad.

    I really hope this means you're not too discouraged to make the next two parts of this series. Regardless of the breaks I personally really enjoyed this puzzle. I can only encourage you to continue working, and I still look forward to playing another one.

    Yea the map was very good, just thought I would point it out maybe for future reference. And of course, if you need testing of maps, let me know!

    Great map and fluid design! Reminds me of old action adventure games like Banjo kazooi or Super metroid where you know you can see different parts of the map, but you can't get there until you gain the new abilities and revisit that part. I liked being teased by seeing inside a room, but not being able to get there. I didn't know while I was playing, but I did break the map, but I plan on getting on again and trying the
    floating active camo trick
    . Like you said once you figure it out the individual challenges aren't that hard, but the fun part is doing the puzzle not trying a thousand times to do the perfect slide/grenade jump 3 times in a row. 5 star map my friend!(Video in my fileshare)

    Yeah, I sent you a message, the video you sent me yesterday was on an old broken version of the map. Definitely give it a redownload and try it again. ;)

    And yes, anyone that may stumble upon reading this, I've been revisiting this. And it's looking sexy. :D

    I can't believe I am saying this, but I am in fact stuck on the first room. I found plasma nades and got down the dice using them, but I can't see anywhere useful to use it in. No jump I have tried has even gotten me close to a new area. I don't have silverlight so I can't watch the video, but could I get a hint in the right direction?

    i found a teeny tiny problem with the map. i feel really stupid but i fell into a little hole and it was impossible to get out. it's right where there are stairs made of curved ramps on the outside of the pinnacle pillar. one of the curved ramps is away from the rocks and it makes a hole. i acidentally fell in and couldn't get out. had to restart after an hour of playing.

    otherwise, this is a really great map. I'm definitely going to try and beat it. it's incredibly challenging.
