    The "Really Bad" is an extremely suitable clue as to how to get past that bit.

    Puzzle 10 is one of those lovely puzzles where you know exactly what to do but have absolutely no friggin' clue how to do it, gotta love those!

    As stated previously, the only hints I'm providing are the ones in the pics and hints section. I suggest you study the hint for that puzzle more closely, several clues are there. Bare in mind every single object in my puzzle map has a purpose.

    I would just pay attention to the hint for that puzzle, rather than the picture. The picture was designed to mislead you, although that's the only picture where I've done that. Of course I did say the objects weren't used the way you'd think, so technically I'm just emphasising that with the pic.

    I will help you further by telling you that your theory is wrong. There, that saves you some trouble. :)

    Lol. While everyone is stuck on level 8 and 9, I'm stuck on level 1. I got all the materials, I think. Puzzle 10!!! That is genius, I know how to do it, but I just never seen it implanted in a puzzle. Great Map, now I just got to beat it.

    Great Map Buddha. After finishing it yesterday I just did a speed run in just over 11 minutes.

    That should tell people that the puzzles aren't that hard to do, but they are really hard to figure out.

    Except that things like Grav-hammer jumping and mancannons affect the player and other objects randomly. Pretty much just dumb luck for alot of these puzzles to work.

    Not really I can do both every time you just have to find the sweet spot. There is a super efficient way to do them.

    Nice, this finally gets releases. I have played this map about one week ago with DeathToll77 and I had to leave and I have only gotten to the clay shooting part. This looks like one of the hardest puzzle maps out there. I'll be sure to try and finish it :D. Great job.

    Puzzle 3 - Ah a room with a view, shame that what you need cannot be seen. You'll want to dig for oil at the base of the pipeline, don't get too close though, them pipes be toxic! Oh and we dig with our feet around here. Do you remember the cigarette packet from Re on Carnation? (Hidden object)


    can you hear the oil going through the pipes dig , and dig fast or you will suffer intoxication

    So far I've done it in 8.30, so there's an initial time for you to beat.

    Glad you appreciate the attempt at aesthetics in a puzzle map.

    heh, is "Special Recon" a dig at my "Really Bad" clue? Naturally you shoot through the portal that has something to hit on the other side.

    There are only two puzzles that revolve around an element of luck and those are puzzles 9 and 10 - 9 because of the random damage modifiers of collision detection against objects and the velocity and angles produced by multiple collisions, causing premeture explosions. And 10 because of a predetermined imaginary line that the ball rotates on, which affects the angle the ball will spin off to, depending on the direction the imaginary line is facing, which you have no control over.

    Every other puzzle is a test of skill and there are ways to guarantee success everytime if your timing and accuracy are good enough.

    Puzzle 3 makes me want to scream... I know what to do, but have no idea how to do it. How is a traffic cone meant to make me fall through the floor? o_O

    Lol, it doesn't, it just helps point out the location for you. You gotta dig!

    I think your jump mazes are more challenging but you should like combine
    them into a jump thinking hard maze thing like a mix of the rack on carnation
    or something :p
