Map :lady_beetle: :

oof how could i

time cps

looks good :D

It is indeed bouncy! Can't complain.

why is the ball not centered tho?

really annoying 0/10 map

Yeah also dislike it. It gets worse the farther you progress!

yea

$decline

This command was not found.

idk if intended but you can skip this part

it will looks so bruh if it would be perfectly centered (personaly)

bad opinion

i don't like when it moving with my tee

can we skip the trolling

it moves along with tee

but there is a paralax that makes it feel off

yeah, $decline

could you show please? I wasn't able to replicate it

it's really hard i didn't save the demo. might be worth to be left in the map

tas the map real quick

im on it

he on it

what do you think about this solution lmao

lmao

u da goat

i enjoyed the map big time! some smaller things were pointed out to S1mple ingame but it feels refined from the start, good map!

for transparency: mostly only visual things were pointed out, such as corners, indicators etc. - tho not sure if other testers pointed out things, i came in late

the background not being centered may be mappers choice, i didnt mind it at all really.

Map channel has been moved to waiting mapper.

ok... but wheres the ready tho?

I don't ready stuff yet, since I'm not comfortable enough to determine a map to be ready yet, need more testing experience

thats why 2 ready's are needed, u can just yolo it

this part can be done even without the speed gained from the left side which is idk. like you do one half of the part and then the other half

also i think the first tele should lead to kill as your time doesn't reset when hitting it

you will need to kill anyway

Honestly killing just makes it uncomfortable.

Unless you are holding left click, the respawn after a kill tile isn't instant. So you either need to hold or just waste a few unnecessary seconds. Coupled with the fact that only a minority of players care about their times and that the part is kinda free, I don't really see a reason for this.

ok fine

just a personal preference i guess

for me it is more annoying to kill

fair 🤷‍♂️

Super fun map, really fun to speedrun! Not much to add but I think that these 2x suggestions would make it flow a bit better!

okay im done :D

10€ for the demo

jk

https://streamable.com/3mkf9u

these are inconsistent

this took way too long....

thi s is impossible to understand in design

is this a bug

no bounce from this height XD

nice map

it's hard to map with bounce tiles ._.

they can be double layered

but yeah tile implementation is not ideal although its a nice mechanic

omagad its here !!!

this one brake flow so hard u need dj 3 times, better do it 1 times it's enough to explain how it works.(or i doing this wrong)

this one u need slow down too or u will fail.

so many switches with small reason. i think better remove.

u alredy have freeze-check-speed why u add buttons here?

i think if u add freeze or non interaction zone here, it will help a lot with this part.

this part is part a lillt too hard (unbalanced)

add more tele for prevent dj

nitpicking extreme challenge?

if u move it > for 5 tiles u will give extra time for reaction, it will be friendly for ppl who dont know map.

last part is too ez

this part have bad timings and waste a lot of time i agree with Aoe here at the same time this part fell massive and i think can remove buttons if play with high and speed.

this one u defently can remove buttons if you play with the height of the platforms.

it will be friendly for ppl who dont know map. nobody is gonna 1st try the map

for next maps this move(bounce from wall) need over-precise for this difficulty's map. u can control players speed more better if add non interaction zone with freeze it will u give more consistent setups and u can create more difficulty map with this move.

unless they spec each part and play trough it in their head

smth like this will give u "zone"

I like map, this is really good or almost perfect) gj Simple

works if you do the part intended - slowing/stopping there isn't the intended way so i wouldnt really take it into consideration

i talk here only about "move" and how he can set up it for next maps and do consistent players speed. I take this part just for example to show bounce from wall.

but if u talk about part u can slow/stop here and still pass the part. i think its bad cus u need punish player if they slow/stop here and its possible mapped without buttons.

u can slow/stop here and still pass the part. I literally saw it when writing feedback

Thanks everyone for suggestions and feedback!

I reworked quite a lot of parts, there's the list:

1. Removed unhookables at the top of the part so it can't be skipped
2. Added 2 teleports to prevent the skip
3. Added arrow to understand part better (both in design and entities)
4. Reduced bounce amount to 2 bounces (now speed way is kinda ruined but you still can manage to win few ms)
5. Added teleport at the ceiling to prevent fast skip (skip is still kinda possible, but normal way should be faster) Removed 2 bouncy tiles I haven't added more hookables, reason being that it kills point of making bounce strong enough to get to other side, plus skip would've been way more viable
6. Skip with dj should be impossible as i can guess, plus now it doesn't matter which tile out of 3 you hook so part is more consistent.
7. Basically reworked whole second part of a part (no pun intended): now it starts with a speed reducer so part can control the starting speed (if it's too low you won't pass and if it's decent - high you will), now it works without switches and only on your speed usage

Also there were made some design fixes, such as corner fixes and structure fixes.

Credits to fixes: Teero - like every skip lol and point 7 Aoe - points 4 and 5 Triki - point 7 Melon - the arrow and point 7 And everyone else i might've forgor

a few smaller nitpicks. other than that, looks ready to me! - super fun

trampolin hall when

fixed this skip (thanks to NeZoX for reminding me of it's existence

),

skip but it is hard enough

other than that.. - i like very much

First ready set by Trial Tester. Map needs to be tested again by an official tester before fully evaluated. Suggested Difficulty Rating:★☆☆☆☆

also i think if u fill freeze like this u can remove marks.

i think this would just confuse people even more :P

i tested a lot this part about 20-30 min and trying this TAS skip. here my opinion. u need keep this skip and do it a little easer by add 1 row tiels here. this will give challenge for speedruners. for usual players it's not impotant. try this skip by yourself) its fun.

$ready

glad we came to an understanding

stop being faster than me

get gapped

ready for scheduling

this bug comes from tune layers, nothing to do with this.

if you double the tune layer tiles, its harder to bug out

you can autojump on bouncy tiles and may jump higher as in this clip and therefore may need one jump less

So my recommendation for some map areas is doubleing the tune layer tiles before hitting a wall, you can do this for different tune regions with just ElasticityX or ElasticityY

that fix is already implemented in some parts but yeah it should be consistent

OK i know this map is $ready and next text just for fun. And maybe mapmakers might find it useful for the next map. First about what's going on here. I just challenged myself when creating the guide. And the challenge was to remove buttons and doors from part 6. I've already done it and found no reason why not to share.

Map filename must match channel name.

To be clear, I don't want to force mapper to do this, I just did it for myself and i am just sharing.

there are still a few places where I'd double the tuning tiles, I tested the map and it bugs out on some places

also I suggest (maybe for future maps) to use 3 tune_zones

unique approach, looks cool

This way you can place tuning tiles next to walls without making them bouncy by using tune_zone 3 Or place tuning tiles next to the ground without making it bouncy by usning tune_zone 2

here for example, the corner is bouncy because you made the wall bouncy

So technically this is a mapping mistake

Here are mistakes everywhere

also the tune tiles don't need to be placed on top of the block, just next to the side where the player should bounce, but I think this is fine here

Do I need to come with a red marker?

Also, there is no point to set elasticity to higher value than 1.00, because it's clipped between -1.00 and 1.00

so your tune settings are also wrong. What does the 1 mean? It means that 100% of your bounce is reflected, in the start you even use this property to autojump at the exact same hight to the platform. You don't experience, that your jump is twice as high

Why is it implemented this way? Because you could with a value higher than 1 build up infinite velocity clipping through walls

you can dj up here without going down for a bounce

i remember this not being possible previously

oh this might've been introduced by me pointing out that the bounce sometimes requires 2 drops...

tunes are now at 1 value added tune_zone 2 and 3 for specific places changed second part a little

I am going to check again tomorrow, thanks for the cool map, makes me happy that people use my mechanic ❤️

it didnt in the previous version either

you could dj before dropping down

so its u only need 1 bounce

Here is a row to many bouncy tiles

Here there is one missing or to much where the teleporter is, I know this works but this looks inconsistent

this is also better visible without the overlay

Here the bottom T section is wrong. Either you place the old tune_zone here or change the tileset

Overall good improvement 🙂

Idk if it matters but i found this

nice find

pro

fixed that skip and those few tunes, thanks for testing

checked and didn't find any bugs regarding tune bounces ✅ Thank you for fixing this! I am sure that people will use this map as reference in the future in order to use bouncing, that's why I was so eager of fixing this

Would be nice if you could add unfreeze in tele 9 and tele 12.

fixed those corners, thanks for pointing them out
