Completion Info & Personal Ratings:
Total attempts taken: ~140
Total playtime taken: ~7 hours over the course of 2 days of grind. 22 hours and 6 days in total if you include 15 hours + 4 days back from November of last year, when the map turned out to be impossible and i had to drop it for that reason until it was fixed.
Full review in the comments as it is too long and it doesn't fit here.
List placement (As of upload date): #8
Personal list placement: #8
List rating: ⭐8.27 (Bottom-Low Legendary Crazy)
Personal list rating: ⭐8.27 - Once again, it's still a good chunk harder than V1, just not ass to play cause there's barely any luck factor, with a few exceptions.
Map review #64-B
Crazy+ #118 overall
Extreme Crazy #36 overall
LEGENDARY CRAZY #10
Yes, im counting this as another Legendary completion cause there's day and night differences in the map, and to assume they're the same is just plain dumb.
Good work, gg

Rating: This is... A day and night difference. When you're this dedicated, things just works itself out for you, making all your efforts worth it in the end, paying off with all the good things you've done. For one, the gameplay had a massive glow up. The whole map feels balanced now, with no certain areas being harder than others, and the consistency was improved by a lot, thus successfully getting rid of all Le Crazyblox Special physics in the gameplay design, therefore improving the playability MASSIVELY and the map playing out smoother as a result. Which is amazing, because the major issue V1 had and why it was so bad, was nothing other than this. First button received it's much-needed rework, now being placed inside a walljump - which, sure, it does nerf it by making it so much easier to get, but you no longer have to rely on the hitboxes to do it for you this time around, which would've been a nightmare had it been kept as how it was after the hitbox change. There are changes in the ice section as well, mostly visuals cause they were improved siginificantly with a lot more details, and added atmosphere that make it feel more lively than before. The gameplay had minor changes here, but for greater good, to improve the playability and not make it so boring. Hey there's now Roe V. Wade styled wrap jumps, so that's pretty interesting. Lava is also buffed here but for the most part it's no biggie. Second button didn't receive a rework or nerf, so you're still relying on Crazyblox's hitboxes to get it, but thankfully you can work your way with it and make it consistent by simply pressing your A key a lil bit more, and it should do the job. The rest of the ice section remains the same for the most part save for having a lot more details of course and just looking nicer overall. Afterwards, the final desert section was notably improved as well. The bridge at 2:00 had some of it's gameplay remade, to be styled like Roe V. Wade as well with some of the jumps that certainly make it harder, but once again, not as big of a problem. The whole gameplay afterwards was completely remade and it's certainly flowing nicely, with barely any relying on the poor physics this game has, and while it's true it's a bit harder now, the most important aspect is the fact that there's no luck factor anymore, so it boils down to how well do you actually perform, without any interruptions. That's ontop of improved visuals as well with a very nice atmosphere touch and vibe i must add.
This is massive improvement over V1, and i mean it cause i've been following this map for quite a while now, and im genuinely happy how things have turned out in the end, and that i got to verify it as i couldn't back in November of last year due to the map resulting in being impossible due to the pacing being really fast after the zipline at 2:00. Thankfully this issue has been fixed and the pace is actually manageable, and yes it's slower than V1's pace but that's actually a good decision on the map maker's behalf since it makes the map emphasize more on the raw gameplay to fundament it's difficulty source, without adding too much pressure on the player as it let's you make a couple of mistakes and you'll still be able to make it in the end, like how it happened in the video (see for button 2). The trade-off is that the raw gameplay is actually harder, but of course, it's not dogshit this time around so looking at it from this perspective the map is in fact harder overall, cause after all gambling with the physics is artificial difficulty and not real.
For all of this, i can safely say that this map deserves a rating of 9.5/10. Now you might be wondering why didn't i rate it higher, cause after all the whole review was a glazefest pretty much. And to that, it's because of the optimization. See, for some weird reason, the map plays out laggier than it used to before the final update it received (current version), and my guess for that is linked to the lighting glitching out, cause it was blinding before, the fog was way too heavy and you could barely see anything. It was literally as if you were in heaven. This was fixed in the latest update but unfortunately that comes at the price of the map being laggier for some reason. For reference my laptop performs about 30% worse than what it used to before, which was why i couldn't record and beat this in a higher graphical setting, cause otherwise i would've played at 6 graphics without problem. And because of the lag, i got a significant amount of frame drops, so that's that.
Enjoyment: 9/10 - Excluding the times i died to the frame drops which were basically the only bullshit deaths, this is a really good experience and of course i would've enjoyed it more. It's just a no-brainer to compare it to V1, cause it's not even close. Excellent map for it's difficulty, and would 100% recommend to play for anyone looking to get started in the territory of top, difficult maps. Specifically legendaries. It's surreal for my opinion to change this drastically on a map that it just feels like a switch, but im being genuine here cause this map is worth it chat. It's pretty good so hats off to you, Minty and Eclipso, creators of the map.
All this map needs is an official soundtrack composed for it and it's all set to go.
Fun fact, this is the highest rating i've given to a top map ever, beating Ascension To Temu at 8.8/10, and for good reason

Impossible ur so dang good

[@KaisKooks]

how do you get those practice UI things at the top of the screen

[@solamistar]

By either being a tester on a map or the map allowing for anyone to have access to the devtools
In this case, i am a tester for this map so i have access to the devtools on the main ID. There is a separate ID which has public devtools, look for it in the video description if you're interested
