If anyone's willing, please give me a shout here or on steam. SP PeTI map, no advanced techniques needed, logical difficulty is (subjectively) medium to hard. Possibly spoilery stuff about the map below:

Spoiler

I thought it might be interesting if I could in some way encourage speedrunning and experimentation, and it turned out during my own testing of the map that there were various ways to accomplish the "lesser" tasks that make up the overarching puzzle. While I don't believe that any of the more difficult puzzle solutions are compromised, I really need someone who is good at solving puzzles to figure out if there are alternate solutions to that which I don't want solved in more than one way. I've run this puzzle past some of my friends, but they weren't of much help due being unable to actually finish the puzzle in at least one way. Besides that, I need someone who isn't familiar with the puzzle to see if there's anything map-breaking here.

I don't want to put the file up publicly yet, but if you tell me what your steam account is in the comments, send a PM, or message me on steam, I'd be glad to give it to you. My steam account is the same as my username. Bunches of thanks.

I'm getting a bit paranoid with the lack of response. Most new threads I've seen here get a response within a day, if not within a few hours.

I'll test for you

I took over the facility, turned a giant robot into a potato and I've been sent into outer-space... twice... What's your story?

It's better to post maps where you need feedback on in the Work in progress version of the forum! Here everyone can play it and knows it's work in progress; it's probably the best way to get some playtesters!

I'm beginning to get that feeling. I initially wanted some degree of privacy, but it's not attracting a number of people to test my map, and I have to go through too many steps to get someone to play a private map. I guess that would be the best.

You can also just upload it to your workshop friends only and ask some friends if you want a bit more privacy I suppose
