[Coop] The Amazing Race

PreviousPage 2 of 3Next

Wow, awesome stuff. Nice to see more race maps out there. And with such great quality. Only one thing comes to my mind trying to find something bad. We didn't really like the last race map with all the crazy rotating stuff etc. Felt kinda out of place for us. Other than that, it was amazing. Keep it up. ;)

here is a almost first (blind) play-through of all 4 maps.

I dont know if making 4 different posts for four of you videos is the best idea. There is probably a better way of doing it... Like posting one, hiding the other three in one of those Big spoilers things. Or just posting the first one because it would be easy to go to the next parts on Youtube. Doesn't really matter to me. I can't wait to watch them. Can't watch them right now because I have to study for a Final. But when I get back. Time to Grab a Coke, and a snack and get to watching videos!!! For everyone else. You can never post too many videos for my maps. I watch them all!

Not bad, there were some really nice ideas in here. Most of them are probably still fun even if not played blind, because you need to be agile, not just figure out the how-to.
However, the order of the maps is weird. Map 1 turned out as the hardest one while map 4 was the easiest one..

Fantastic work, very high quality and lots of originality seen in these maps :) . Definitely worth playing.

Per-map feedback:
1: Too difficult, maybe it isn't for the most hardcore players but it would be more sensible to place it later on in the pack. I would suggest making the timing in the section where you need to disable the lasers to jump a bit friendlier, throwing the cube at the button at the very latest possible moment is painful trial&error..

2: It's possible to throw your cube out of the map through holes in the wall and because they don't get destroyed in the void you need to restart the map.

Spoiler
It also took us too long to accidentally discover it's possible to break the glass in the first room.

3: Perfect. Not too difficult and full of action/originality.

4: Nice platformer action, but looked a bit monolithic. Maybe a little more visual variety would help.

I don't think you found the correct solution... What you have to do is

Spoiler
Stop the cube above the button with the light bridge. Once the funnel breaks, shoot the portal on the launching panel, and then shoot under yourself... If you shoot too early, the cube will move forward in the funnel and miss the button.
It's just the rush of the race that makes it hard to figure out some of the basic mechanics of the races... Such as the wave machine and other puzzles where instead of trying to rush through it, you have to stop and look at all of the mechanics of it for a second.

I am doing a play-through with a friend on my channel.Here is the first video, the rest you can find with it. qkSFlizwbFQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkSFlizwbFQ

I keep watching videos of people playing this map. Loving it. It makes me want to jump into my map and race some people. Who thinks they can beat me?

*Edit*
One challenger has been defeated... Who is next? Steam name is "Merc. Baca"
