That was so dark...

Loved it. However, I didn't need to go into one of the rooms and I didn't go through that scary laser maze thing. I don't know if there are multiple ways to solve it, but great job nonetheless.

Thank you so much for the feedback. Which room were you able to skip? How did you get past the laser field maze?

Mad people are blessed to Allah, because God only knows what of Indy and RE should be in here. Map's unpresentable: dark and ugly, it's actually trying to be foreboding - but the mapping doesn't elevate above Clean and any escapade out is like bat country.

Not everything is like that, those Clean styled chambers are indeed there and sometimes interesting with one original mechanic - the flying cube detector. But I doubt people will stick around after the false start, my suggestion is to extract the valid tibits, downsize them all and mash them together (in Clean).

Bugs: every door has nodraw textures; you can skip the funnel+cube area by funneling up the railing; the glass room can be skipped by walking on its outer walls from outside; invisible fizzlers are confusing; it may not be, but the sensation of seeing those ceilings replaced with floating tiles is that of a bug not showing them from below in the first place (and tbh it's not logic either, to die when you fall there).

-Which doors specifically?
-Can you run a demorec of the funnel up the railing maneuver.
-will fix the glass room shortcut.
-fizzlers were there to aid the player as not to be confused and get portalled into slime by accident,they were never meant to be seen.
-the false ceilings are there to provide illusion of a closed space from below. will remove the death trigger

I should've clarified, this is not a traditional mapping style; hence, the name. but thank you for your honesty. all suggestions, tips, bugs welcome.

All doors.

It's really basic: float up for a meter or so, head for the railing.

In this game, fizzlers aid the player and are visible. Players which see oddities as this happen will come to the conclusion it's a bug or sloppy mapping.

Your call, I immediately assumed you had botched the worldportal given the rest of the map

Neat map. Liked the platforming feel and the cube-lazer grid mechanic. The dark parts are indeed too dark but my main suggestion would be putting indicators next to the doors of the 3 'chambers'. After i completed one of them i wasn't sure if i finished it or missed the obejective, so i would continue to the next chamber not knowing what i'm expected of.
I would just put a X sign near every door, and when you finish it the sign would change to a tick.

Thanks Saturn. I'll add indicators.
I wanted the player to have a choice of what they did first.
I agree, it's too dark in certain areas. I wanted a dark cavernous feel, ominous.

Oh, it's great that you can choose which to do but i was a little confused if i did what i had to do in them.
