Advent Calendar - 03

Description
The original, harder challenge with more ice and low gravity. Can you unlock the festive secrets of the "Yuletide Vault"? Try to beat a score of $200,000!

Easier version also now available as a different map!




Find it here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2319360079 ("Yuletide Vault Redux")

---

LORE:

Upon approaching the mysterious frozen structure, Mylo receives a message on his personal terminal:

“Dear Adventurer,

Congratulations on finding the hidden Yuletide Vault! Some presents have been left for you under the tree… If you can reach them! Be sure to leave yourself with enough ammo to “unwrap” your gifts, and take care: The gravity here is lower than standard!

Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas!
- Space Santa”

EXTRA CHALLENGE: Try and beat this level with a score of over $200,000. You'll need the chests and the $50k HP bonus!

---

HINTS (if you need them):

* Maybe the glass block climb could be a little easier if you choose carefully which blocks you break first...

* At the top of the glass blocks: The horizontal elevator and laser guns are linked, but does it need to be moving for you to use it to get across the gap? Switches can always be turned back on...

* Boy, fighting that blue ball while simultaneously dodging that walking rock sure is hard! But do you actually need to? :) What's he guarding?

@BloodnBrain: Thanks for the video, it was entertaining watching you play. :) Now I feel evil and sadistic. Mwhahah. >: )

Heheh, seriously though, I designed this level while assuming players are familiar with Crystal Caves already – It's meant to give a fair challenge, on par with the original game, without being impossible. But I added a hint section to the description for those who get stuck.

If it helps, the elevator at the start (spoilers) is intended to assist your progress up through the glass block section, and get you to the blue “STOP” platform. You don't actually need to wait for it to cross the gap: The horizontal elevator is linked to the laser guns, and can be positioned in the middle by turning its switch on and off, until its centred, then can be used to jump the gap while it's off.

This one is hard until you know the tricks.
The only thing what f**ks me up is this elevator at the start!
I think the waiting time is a bit to much!

$200,000 is possible, yes!
I will try again later but it is possible. :)
