Not bad, actually a funny map, considering that I wouldn't call this a puzzle map. I'll upload my blindrun of this map later, but let me talk about the different parts of the map for now.

I know this kind of mazes from other games. I actually never liked them, but here it's fairly short and it won't take you too long to understand and solve it.
However I was able to push the button "through" the wall (Actually I rushed towards the button and pushed it before the wall appeared.) Didn't give me much of an advantage though apart from confusing me just a little more. The blindrun video will let you know what I mean.
Also I did only need one lift in this room. Is this intended or did I find a shortcut? From what the room looked like I assumed I'd have to go up and down several times over several lifts to reach the exit.

*New type of Bridge walking

This is my favorite part of the map. It took me a moment until I found out what to do, but then I liked it. Good job on this one. However, at some points the bridge became greenish visible to me. Is that intended? You can see what I mean in my blindrun later.

Uhm.. you call this a part of the map? It was only one jump, wasn't it? Didn't take me much time, just jumping over the gap. Actually nothing special.

Knatte_Anka wrote:

Same here, not really special but it's a decent part to finish the map with.

The complete blindrun took me about 11 minutes. I'll post back when I found time to upload it.

Edit:
Oh wait, there was one more part which you didn't name in the first post and which I absolutely disliked: You gave me some buttons there and I had to find out a certain "code" in order to open the door!? This is pretty much random and sucks, sorry. That's no fun at all for the player.

It will be interesting to see who you did the map and it is very good way to see what may need to be changed.

[spoiler]you had good luck and took the right lift to get to the exit it is only one solution
but this part may be gona me re designed to give a diffrent look and to be more fun but also little harder then i will not always have same solution [/spoiler]

the greenish thing is to do it easier if you get to some checkpoints but maybe not needen any more after i got the paint to work but have to think on that.
