Hello, this is a map for 3 players °(^_^)°

Soapy Sandwich 06/10/2021 3:30 PM

Quite annoying that you dip down here and have to jump it, was that intended?

Soapy Sandwich 06/10/2021 3:31 PM

Parts of the map feel far too messy, like tiles were placed for no reason just to fill space. Maybe you could turn them into more interesting parts? Also some parts just don't really make sense as to why they are there.

Soapy Sandwich 06/10/2021 3:31 PM

Here is an ez skip, if all 3 tees go in the left most hole.

Soapy Sandwich 06/10/2021 3:32 PM

This whole section can be skipped as shotgun isn't actually required anywhere.

Soapy Sandwich 06/10/2021 3:33 PM

This fly up is rather dull, the freeze feels randomly placed and it's only fun for 2 of the 3 tees. The last one kinda just waits, might be better to give the other tee a small solo at the same time?

Soapy Sandwich 06/10/2021 3:34 PM

Can skip the top section very easily here with 2 going bottom

Soapy Sandwich 06/10/2021 3:34 PM

Can skip going to the bottom (Rescue Room) entirely with 2 tees going in the middle.

Soapy Sandwich 06/10/2021 3:35 PM

With a pretty easy hammer you can skip this whole bottom section.

Soapy Sandwich 06/10/2021 3:44 PM

The map is rather amusing but the parts will need quite a bit of reworking before it is releaseable.
Skips need to be removed or made alot harder to execute/find.

PlzAmTrash 06/10/2021 10:15 PM

Wooow, thanks a ton for all the feedback ! I'll adress each points in times

PlzAmTrash 06/10/2021 10:16 PM

This was intended as it is in the very beginning of the map, do you think it needs changes ?

PlzAmTrash 06/10/2021 10:18 PM

Agreed with the not needed part. Messy part was kind of mini individual warmup. Can use some rework indeed

PlzAmTrash 06/10/2021 10:20 PM

Kind of ok with that skip, cause players are challenging that deadly spike to retrieve the bottom tee. The following 3-tee-way is not really faily anyway

PlzAmTrash 06/10/2021 10:22 PM

Oh I see, one tee hammer-throwing another on the right, and the 2 remaining tees hammer-flying. Not sure if this hammer fly is novice realm but I'll fix it either way

PlzAmTrash 06/10/2021 10:23 PM

Yep, this fly can be boring. It was intended to be a quick free-flying. Maybe rework to be more puzzpling there ?

PlzAmTrash 06/10/2021 10:28 PM

I kind of get this one, but it doesn't seems too easy. The hole is deepfreezing so it's needed to go behind/above the right plateform in order to undeep. Maybe some overestimating from me there ?

PlzAmTrash 06/10/2021 10:29 PM

Absolutely. Rescue room is optionnal, you can go 2 tees in the middle if you feel like it. Do you think it's weird to have this choice here ?

PlzAmTrash 06/10/2021 10:30 PM

Ah ! I was afraid of this one but didn't think it was so easily doable. Will fix that for sure

PlzAmTrash 06/11/2021 9:28 AM

1- fix the not needed and messy part 2- fix the shotgun being previously not needed 3- fix the boring flying part. Now involve all 3 tees 4- reworked this tiny area with the "not so easy deep freeze skip" 5- fix the undeep-skipping I thought was not easily doable

I feel the map is in a much better state already, so thanks a lot ! Can't wait to get more feedback °(^_^)°

this is not a novice map

Brokecdx- 06/12/2021 10:24 AM

As smiley above me already mentioned, this is a novice but not a novice, so in short it is unbalanced. If you place killtiles in novice map you have to be really careful on how to place them. I am sure

will give you insights very soon on why this is not releaseable. Quite sure this is your first map and i recommend you to start 2p before jumping on 3p maps. Best of luck

Knuski 06/17/2021 6:37 PM

first of all, like already mentioned, this map isnt novice at all, way too faily at most places and some kill tiles (also i think making an appropriate novice 3 player map is almost impossible). this map mostly consists of tight and unoriginal parts where you just need 1 hook from the others to continue and thats really boring, try to be more creative in a 3 player map. the faily gores inbetween some parts also feels random and is too hard. also try avoiding speeders and switches because they encourage lazy mapping or are not needed to force the part. some parts are 2p parts but the third person just needs to go to some switches and open their way which is really boring. try looking at some newer maps and while you are at it, try some newer looking designs and look for bugs on your maps before submitting them.

Understood, thanks for everyone involved for you feedback ❣️ !
