This is a 3 level map pack i made that consists of maps that were originally intended to be in my mod later got removed. I connected them nicely but you can still see some incosistency between each one's style. It has custom textures and instances. Test Chamber signs made with Omnicoders app and everything else by me. It has 5 puzzles overall ranging from easy to medium difficulty. If you rate the map please leave a comment too, especially if its a low score.

IMPORTANT
The last map is poorly optimized and the floor buttons are a little glitchy so dont give them a hard time. I would have thrown away the last map but by the time i realized it had a few too many problems i had already finished it.

Please leave a comment after playing.

Just played through with Djinn.
Some parts were 5/5, some where 2/5.

First map:
Issue: We got out of the intended map; resulting in us getting stuck.
Puzzle 1: I didn't really like the timing
Puzzle 2: quite standard; not really interesting tbh.

Second map:
Issues: none
Puzzle 1: Clever... very clever!
Puzzle 2: Nice coop bridge map!

Third map:
Issues: Lag; got stuck, the fling after the crash in the air was very shocky; we were constantly hitting each other

I think Djinn's vid will explain.

There is some room for improvements but I'd go for a 4/5 here. Great job!
Puzzle: quite straight forward but it was pretty ok.

Nice mappack, however it needs some more work. It got some 5/5 moments and it got some 2/5 moments (like getting stuck or totally breaking the map).

The blindrun of lpfreaky and me ended up becoming a full hour episode of "Really?". Look forward for it, I'll upload it after the Easter weekend. Don't miss to see lpfreaky fail

Cool Map-Pack. I really enjoyed it to play. I like the Lightbridge-Labyrinth in the 2nd chamber and the Catapult run in the last chamber - very funny and cool idea.

But, i stuck in the first chamber.

Screen 2 (above)

Screen 3 (jumped down)

and there i had to kill myself =(||

Note to myself: record a blindrun video at the next map we play

Maps 1 and 2 were very nice like the others already said. But Map 3 was rather annoying for me.

I found it a bit confusing. Dying and respawning in different areas didn't help me with it. The buttons didn't seem to register the cube was on them sometimes. I didn't understand that we had reached the exit and that we'd have to stand below those sucker tubes. Instead I explored that office building across the gap forever. But since you posted a warning about the last map and because the first two maps of the pack are good fun I'd say 4/5.

There is only one button that can be pressed for one faithplate at the time.
If you have a cube on one button and you step onto the other button nothing will happen since the cube was there before you.

I agree on the different area re-spawn. This was helpful in some cases and confusing and helping to get stuck in the other case. You might want to consider changing this.

Yeah, but that's not what I meant. Instead, the button didn't register that a cube was placed on it and therefore didn't activate the faithplate I wanted to jump on. This way, only one of us was able to do the final fling ALTHOUGH both cubes were placed on the correct buttons. If that makes sense.

There is a room after the "bridge climb".. we can go in there.. we search for the next room we have to go^^ so we fire portals to all possible and impossible walls And there is a bridge in this "room" (where i stuck) .. so i think there's the next way we have to go

our blind run.

A fun map-pack i like the way it looks as it doesn't use the same beginning and finish then almost all the other maps, and we worked out a new console command as we sort-of broke the first level by losing the "edge-less safety cube" the rest of the map i found to be a fun experience.

Maps are played blind unless stated otherwise this means i have no idea what i am walking in to and if i am doing them correctly. their may be bits where i stop to think.

Im glad you liked it and thanks for posting a video. But i couldn't help but notice that you rush through too fast. Try to look around from time to time. Theres no timer most of the times.
I am not just saying this for my maps btw. Just a suggestion in general.

A great and original map set!
I recommend getting rid of the broken glass in the last puzzle, that was mainly what caused lag spikes for me whenever I looked in that general direction.

Its not the glass causing the lag. Its all the props behind it that are rendered. I cant avoid this and i cant fix it without changing the entire map. Which is what i would do if i had realized the problem before putting the finishing touches.

Very good map pack. Real pleasure to play. I especially liked the first part with bridges which we passed without using the speed. Second part was also intriguing and satisfying. I think the last part as for difficulty/fun is way below the first two but still awesome work. Many thanks for mapping. Waiting for next releases as we need more quality coop maps. 5/5
