Description

It's been a while since I last released an April Fool's map, so this year I decided to experiment a bit with some gameplay and architecture ideas.

This map is pretty much just a tall vertical shaft with many corridors on its perimeter, with very little connection in between. There is a large water pool at the bottom that allows players to drop from any point in the map, and and four teleporters with random destinations scattered all over the place (maybe there might even be some secret destinations... ;) ).
I've added a couple of dodge ramps and a few tiny lifts through the map just to break the monotony.

The resulting gameplay falls pretty nicely in the "random spamfest" category, sitting very far from any kind of competitive map. However it can still provide some crazy fun, I especially recommend trying it out with the Low Gravity Mutator active! (I almost wanted to include it in the map by default...)

Unlike the usual joke maps I spent quite some time on the visuals, I had some fun trying to add details and special effects. The map is pretty much a mass duplication of a few corridors and decorations but I'm happy with how it turned out.

Enjoy
