Never said you had to play it.

So, you don't want my input? Or my suggestions?

After playing the map, a few of the puzzles seemed like theyrequired more skill than I had, or at least more ingenuity. Such puzzles were the first one you get the box in, as well as the first room with the fans. For the box, I eventually just said "Screw it" and raepd the box from the ledge with my gravity gun. I noclipped through the first room with the fans, also.

I did like the [spoiler]turret ambush, though. However sadly, it seemed like they either killed you or they didn't. There weren't any close calls.[/spoiler]

I also don't like using the vertical fling you keep trying to teach in your maps. I'd rather use it as a way to play maps differently rather than have it be the only way to proceed. :/

[spoiler]There are a lot of opportunities for a narrow escape from the turrets. for example, if you grab the gun and run-hop to the right and forward towards the entrance to the next area. one thing i like is how you can utilize the turret cage supports for cover.[/spoiler]

It's not flamebaiting, but yeah, I got you.

Am I doing this puzzle right?

I tried to fling dozens of times and couldn't ever make it, but this worked on the first try.

This isn't really a comment about this map per se, but I enjoyed Snakepit a lot more than Rainbow Palace. Not to say I didn't enjoy Rainbow Palace, I just thought Snakepit was a lot more entertaining.

Well for the most part yes. The idea of that puzzle was to [spoiler]confuse the player so they wouldn't notice the intended solution at first. The intended solution was to simply jump up the fan to the ledge.[/spoiler]

i don't know if thats how you're SUPPOSED to do it. but its how i solved it too. and the ONLY way i could get it to work. actually i solved it this way pretty early, then jumped down and tried to find a different way, cuz, as a general rule i try to find the "right" way to solve puzzles... but (your way) the way i solved it, was the only one i could find, Duffy, if this is wrong. please show us the right way?

edit: damn you duf, you posted before me lol
