Map 🐞:

1. There is no gameplay at all . Map is very short. Moreover part is really confusing. I can't find way to finish your map
2. Also optimize your map as much as possible . You have a lot of unnusable space

Overall : This map can't be released because it's short, not interesting and not challanging. Also try reduce size of the map as much as you can.

Its getting ridiculous

'not challenging'

'i cant find way to finish your map'

its also not too short imo, my best time is 21 seconds(I suspect most finishes to be around 1 min to 1:30) and I dont think it can be done much faster, and it is a puzzle solo map so its intended to be challenging to figure out

and just because you couldn't figure out the gameplay doesnt mean there isnt gameplay. The 'unnusable space' is necessary to finish the map and was the most efficient way that I could build this mechanic without adding entities like speedups

i think this map is pretty interesting. I wasnt able to figure out how to finish it but i keep trying :D. I think i have a rough idea, has it something to do with touching the ground and jumping before reaching the finish?

About the filesize, there is a lot of stuff that could be made external(moon,stars,sun,jungle_deathtiles). I was able to get it down to 35kb. I know the space is needed to finish the map but you used it in every layer which rly isnt necessary(like the laser1 layer going all the way down isnt needed)

my game crashed like 10 times already on this map

its almost gameplay-less, unoriginal, very small, and if you want to make a puzzle map or something like that it has to be bigger

and im not really sure how to finish but it looks like it depends on a bug

which goes against rules

pretty sure bugs are allowed

ahh ye thank you for telling me that, I didnt know those could be external, and yeah you are right only a couple layers need to be large I can fix that stuff of course. You are on the right track for how to finish it!

isnt it that? or my english is bad

if you click on the link it talks about preventing skips due to bugs

okok

i think the wording should be changed on the page tbh

if its an interesting enough mechanic, i think at most it could be fun

I think this map has potential as a fun map, but not as a solo map. We will discuss this with the other testers and get back to you

^ Reset for now, we'll get back to you! :D

first finish (not counting mapper)

lovely map 😄 would love to see it on fun! figuring out a working strat was quite fascinating

glad you enjoyed it! and yeah it doesn't really fit most solo maps, so fun makes sense. how long did it take you to figure it all out start to fin

?

around 1.5h in total xd i got the idea quite early but i was doing the last move wrong for quite a while :x other ppl surely can do it faster 😅

that's about what I was hoping for with this one! it can be tricky to understand what to do and why, but when you do get it its very satisfying. And also looking at it from the start it looks like 'how the hell can you get there' 🙂

tool me ~1.5h too tho it took me the longest to find the idea

true its satisfying if you finally nail it :D. At first this map just looks like a troll map

pls send demo im too bad to figure out

why do u get more velocity each time tho?? i dont know how ninja works

okay, its cool for fun i guess

ninja basically just converts all of your velocity into the direction youre dashing in

if youre falling 100bps and then dash horizontally youll be going 100bps horizontally

Pretty fun map, thought i'd play for 10 mins but ended up playing for an hour

good map rls

Seems more like a fun map

Not enough gameplay for solo

flappy bird and some other solo maps also has no enough gameplay, but still are in solo cateegory

Happy bird is bad rated need be changed to fun

Changed to Fun because the map fits the fun style better than solo

For me it's ready. I played this map for a few hours and it's pretty fun, even for a person who doesn't like puzzle maps. Also, some players wrote that they enjoyed this map.

I assume this is due to missing time cp's

do you see any use in placing such?

Just reduced the file size making most layers small other than necessary ones, if there doesnt need to be time cps for fun, then I think it doesn't need them, it would really just be like one by the finish but it would just be adding an entity for no reason since it wouldnt really help

went ahead and added a time cp to apease the bot

added 1 more timecp

Found 1 extra Moon and Sun very far outside the map. Besides that map looks rdy to me.

I agree
