This is a small FFA slayer map designed for 2-4 people. But there's a bit of a twist, can you figure it out?

Version 1.3 now actually supports 1 Flag, 1 Bomb, Crazy King, Oddball and Land Grab. 1 Flag and 1 Bomb can probably handle 3v3.

WARNING: You should not play this map if you suffer from motion sickness and/or are pregnant!

Screenshots

Just walking down the stairs, no up the stairs, no wait what?


Who invited Spiderman?


Peek-A-Boo I see you!


"Hey what's going on down there? Oh god forget I asked!"


Lets just party on the ceiling!


So I got this idea from a map called "Cube" which allowed you to walk on two sides of a room.

I really wanted to take the idea to the next level, to make a multi-roomed map that altered perspective depending on what room you were in and how you were positioned in it. You will feel all kinds of disorientation on this map, personally I love going along the bridge, it feels so weird, I feel like I'm actually walking vertically when I'm on it.

Interesting fact: You can walk on almost every surface you see. To achieve this I had to build everything at a 45 degree angle to allow you to walk on both sides of the rooms and to allow a ceiling in one room to be a floor in another.

Version 1.2 Changes:
-Minor tweaks to map layout (added 2 new fence wall ledges, altered stairs to be a bit more walk-friendly and made teleporter "right way up" in the upside-down room).
-Now supports 1 Flag, 1 Bomb, King of the hill, Oddball and Territories.
-In Asymmetric gametypes the teleporters have been altered to better balance gameplay. and the twisting corridor has been blocked off.
-Weapon spawn times have been tweaked.
-Some slight spawn placement adjustment, there are 7 spawn points in an FFA gametype. More in the bases for 1 Flag and 1 Bomb.
-Added frag grenades to the upside-down room.

Version 1.3 Changes:
-Fixed 1 Flag so you can actually score now... >.>
-Minor tweaks to the map so the gaps in some of the walls don't look so bad
-Altered map description to be more accurate. It actually supports Crazy King and Land Grab, not KOTH and Territories.

What the hell....


My brain hurts....

I can't really say anything without playing on it, but that is a feat in and of itself.

That is so cool. Best map post evar

i just did a quick forge through. it actually made me dizzy for a few min until i got my sea legs, haha. I really liked the first 2 rooms but i was a little disappointed with the room with the mongoose. it was a unique room but wasn't as dramatic as the other 2. overall its a really cool idea tho, nice job!

[SomeRandomGuy93]

Owww, that pretty much melted my brain. Cool map, can't wait to try it with a bunch of friends.

[buddhacrane]

yeah the 3rd room is kind've like a "breather" room, a chance to re-orientate yourself. The idea of it being upside down was just to make it a bit more interesting. Plus it was the best way I could implement that "twisted corridor" I wanted to do. That and I wanted to stick a BR on the ceiling, did you spot it?

Be wary of trying it with more than 4 people, I only placed like 5 spawn points.

That is sick
gave me a headache

This is the first map I'm trying once I get my box back.
