Year 2552. The Earth is no longer habitable since year 2401 due to the its atmosphere collapse and temperature rise in planet Earth. Human race has been forced to live in the different colonized planets into the Solar System. This was called "The Second Exodus"... MORE INFO:
Welcome test subjects! The Enceladus Initiative welcomes you all! Ready to play some?? Let's do it! :D
This map is the map I submitted to the Super Mapping Contest at TWP. I didn't ever link the map here due to the fact that it was kind of a Total Disaster (hehe). The short time to develop a map from scratch led me to not test it properly and polish it as I would like to. It's 1 month since the end of the contest and I've been working on the map until I'm satisfied with the result... and so I hope you are too :D
My intention was to take the chance the contest afforded me to arrange something new, but at the same time, something I could use later on in the mod. As I planned to create an opposite atmosphere to the warm and sandy looking chambers I've been showing here in the mod's website, I thought the contest was the perfect opportunity to start doing so, and the result is this map.
It's a MEDIUM-HARD difficulty fling-based map along 3 main chambers. No glitches, ninja movements or crazy things are involved, seriously! Only logic is required and a certain ability to control flinging, that's all.
I've added an easter egg too for those who wants more challenge ![:wink:]( "Wink")
It's not so difficult but it's funny to reach! Try!

... And also for suggesting/inspiring the easter egg!
- Zivi7: Chris, thank you so much for testing it all the times and let me know your detailed comments on issues and annoyances!
You're awesome guys!! There's an overlay for each of you hidden in the map... go find them and take a picture!

===========
CHANGELOG
===========
- v2.1: changed the height of a portalable wall that allowed an important unintended movement (thanks Sickle). Added some more tweaks.
- v2.2: changed player model from "Bendy" to "Chell". Added many particles and effects. Fixed the bug on the water reflections when shader details settings are set to "low"/"medium".
- v2.3: minor changes. Removed unintended move for the easter egg part (thanks to comoros94). Added a reflector-cube respawning at room 2 (in order to prevent that the player has to get back to room 1 to solve it again and get the cube back). Fixed a possible player's lock at final steps in dot2 (thanks to Mr. Waterhandle)

Lol... guys?? you there? ...have you tried the map? too difficult or something? any complaint or suggestions? PLEASE! any feedback is much appreciated! If the case is that you're stuck, just tell me where you're at and I'll help with some hints...
Do not worry about difficulty throughout the mod... there will be much variation in difficulty and I'll try to hint about next chambers mechanics in previous ones, ok? I'll try it to be a progressive difficulty...
I hope to hear any feedback! Thanks in advance for your support!!
Gonna test when I get my new GPU. :)
Great! thanks mate! I hope to hear your feedback soon...
gonna download the mod and test it out ;) looks fun so far doe
