this looks bad

fixed

Time cp pls

timecp

You create some kind of rhythm here by having the exact same distance and therefore the same timing for the first 3 jumps which makes the 4th jump kind of uncomfortable

I played the whole map and it was basically a guessing game about how much I need to reduce or keep the speed in order to get through each part which was also quite precise at times and therefore made it a little frustrating (I'm not sure if this is good enough of a concept so therefore you should probably wait for more opinions on this). Tp 4 was way easier than the rest but also by far the best part in my opinion as the speed was not that much of an issue there as there was more room for it. The design is quite nice. 👍

Parts so short that if there are moments where you need precision, it's not so terrible - you will repeat it in 5 seconds after a failed attempt and in general all parts and trajectories are very easy to read on move

I fix your screenshots evening

thanks for gameplay test!

Include a changelog after uploading map updates (preferably with screenshots).

most of time i didn't reach this platform ( last part ) but also you can get overreach it .

unmarked tune zone

pretty hard parts i like it . but small amount of parts . my suggestion to ad 2 more parts because map little short . ( but it's only my opinion (you can ignore it ))

for the global structure, i would put the tele all the way up on the first part (+ next screen explanation) for tele with falling tele (like the right side of the map) should me more coherent to have the same for the start (+the arrow down left maybe it should be tele instead of kill, i dont see the points of kill in this type of map and at the start of the map)

-the explanation, in entities (how 95% of the player play) it's hard to see wich one is the good tele, so the tele 1 should be like i said in the first screen, for qol + global structure coherence.

hmm the concept is to slow down, so slow more xd

• not a single unfreeze is mark (for the start of every parts why not, but they is this one)

Most of time couldn't reach platform

y it need a certain speed to have the platform, but not too much. maybe for this one it's a bit hard

It's also possible that i did very late jump and dj

thanks!

there beginning of background is as a mark

killtiles only for design

• made general tele-structure as suggested by vena
• simplified texnonik platform a bit, added one tile to left to give more opportunity to stop speeding, also simplified 1st and 2nd parts
• fix unfreeze mark
• also fixed corners in 1st part

u still missing a lot of corners!!

fixed ones i found

after all the getspeeds, we now got slow down

🤣

1pic put teles 2pic slightly changed part and closed holes 3pic there is no need to jump from platform, you need in air by dj, i made there a ceiling to make it clear

thanks

Good changes, however you might want to remove those tele tiles. It's not really necessary but could be in your own interest as it adds a little more quality of life.

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

removed 3 teles

Hello, i tested ur map and there're my suggestions:

1. Maybe u can balance this part or explain the mechanics? Its not enough clear to pass and maybe too hard for this map. (Not always understandable the thing that u should release the space (jump) or do only 1 jump to save another.)

2. This part is too hard especially together with the part with grenade before. Maybe u should splite these two parts and do part with grenade and part with laser or do part with laser more easy (delete second line of freeze or do it lower)

3. Do u really need this platform? While i was passing through the map i always skipped this and it didnt affect on my passing the map.

In general, i think map is great and ready, maybe when u fix these 3 things it will be full ready

a bit simplified first two pics by moonte, 3pic no point in changing anything also simplified first part, thx 4 test

u missed a lot of corners

cool map

It shouldn't have an outline if you can't interact with it

By interact I mean collide

Not properly cut

The animation is quite sharp

Can't it be smoothened?

I believe the electricity animation should be faster

You should leave the game group to game layers only, it's better for testing

didnt know what you mean

the black border around the leaves/tree

and what’s problems with outline🤷‍♂️

well anyway I lost sources for images, can’t remove it

I don't think its too important, lgtm :)

your map has just been released, and you now have a 2-week grace period to identify and resolve any unnoticed bugs or skips. After these two weeks, only design and quality of life (QoL) fixes will be allowed, provided they don't impact the leaderboard rankings. Be aware that significant gameplay changes may impact and lead to the removal of ranks. Good luck with your map!

Slow Down has been set to RELEASED.
