Oh, hello. Thanks for stopping by. Care to try my first map? I call it:

PERPETUATION

It's a 1 player puzzle/platformer that will test your brain and your reflexes.

The Idea

You play as Sisyphus (NOT Syphilis), the ancient Greek figure who was cursed with the task of eternally pushing a heavy stone up a hill only to have it roll all the way back to the bottom when he nears the top. Only here the stone is a powerful explosive, and the hill is a series of increasingly difficult challenges for you to complete.

This is your bomb, there are many like it, but this one is yours!

The object of the game is to get to the end with the bomb. However, it's not as simple as it sounds. The bomb is very heavy and both weighs and slows you down. In order to reach your goal you must occasionally drop the bomb and solve puzzles and make difficult jumps. But be quick, the bomb resets in 30 seconds meaning if you're away from it too long you will have to go back to the beginning, just like poor Sisyphus. Dying also puts you back at the start, so don't do that either.

I made this map as sort of a reaction the dozens of puzzle maps available. Though many of these maps have been great and I've enjoyed completing them, I often get frustrated at some of the tricks used. A lot of puzzle maps include tricks such as: finding hidden objects, glitching through walls, and jumping on ledges that are barely sticking out. Perpetuation has none of these tricks. Every tool you need to complete the map is laid out right in front of you or given to you at the start, you just need the brain power to know how to use them. Also, figuring out how to beat a challenge is only half of it, the other half is actually pulling it off.

Challenges

Challenge 1: One Great Leap

Easiest

Challenge 2: Split Decisions
Very Easy

Challenge 3: Escalation
Easy

Challenge 4: Rolling Stone
Moderate

Challenge 5: A Bridge Too Far
Tough

Challenge 6: One Step Forward, Two Steps Back
Very Tough

Challenge 7: The Salmon
Toughest

Challenge 8: Sisyphus
???

Notes

This map is 1 player only! Playing with more than 1 person is cheating and will make the game way too easy.
The last challenge is designed so that you have to cheat to complete it (you'll see what I mean).
Enjoy yourself.

Edit: Recently I found a way for players to skip to the last challenge early in the game. I have corrected this and switched the old map with the new one.

Perpetuation - the map
Sisyphus - the gametype

And just in case you get really stuck, here's a walk-through
