Description
Map Name: Wilted [en.wikipedia.org]

She loves me, she loves me not. She loves me...

New year, new puzzle! Sort of. Wilted is a remake of the classic Courte Echelle by Almisuifre. I personally loved the initial map, so I wanted to do my own take!

Wilted is the sister to my previous map, Stem. They showcase two ways of handling remakes. Stem was about a new move-set in the original layout. While Wilted is about a new layout supporting the original move-set. As a result, Wilted is quite a departure from its source!

Rules:
-Timing is required but should be easy to execute. However, make sure to save.
-Difficult-to-execute moves aren't needed. No cube tossing, wall running/b-hopping, tight angles & timings, etc.

Thanks to the following:
-Sp "Big Caseoh Fan" Ki for the beautiful decoration, test-testing, and feedback. The map looks fantastic!
- Aneonen for teaching me how to make new UCPs!
- Narkodes for coming up with an insane hidden mechanism for certain moves.
- Dark Rozen for help with hammer!


Notes:
-Background track is by Mikeastro
-Spoilers for Wilted and my previous work. This map had a "no respawn" rule. Most of my previous work had a respawn, usually in the middle. Finding this out made the move feel boring, almost formulaic. So I avoided it, a respawn for this map just felt like a cop-out.

Have a good year!

@Semispace Yeah I will also say the original is a fair bit different from this version even if you did remember haha. Thank you for the kind words Semi ^^

This one was not intuitive for me as tends to be the case with your puzzles, it has a lot of sneaky little things that make it quite tricky. I already played the original Courte Echelle before, but it had been long enough that I had forgotten everything lol. Anyway, very well made remake!

Thank you @Nobody No-One! I myself am very proud of the map layout ^^

Really nice map! It took me a long time to see the bridge slide move at the start , and after that everything was super smooth and clean. This is a really beautiful demonstration of the power of re-layouting; the map looks much cleaner than the original and has a bunch of nice additional moves. Big thumbs up!

@Husky Thank you for the kind words and fav! I'm not a big fan of Light-bridge climbing myself, but it was something that was very much necessary. It felt best and cleanest. I'm glad it was clear cut tho!

That was such an amazing map, took me quite a while to solve it and especially to find the first and last moves!
Really enjoyed all of the creative moves and the crazy portal management, especially involving the setups for the flings . It was simply just packed full with so much stuff!

Even though this map contains a couple moves that I typically don't like to see in a puzzle, such as bridge boosting, they were so clear and well shown that I can't complain.
Faved!

@Horse hehe yeah I was really happy with the hidden surface re-use, felt very sneaky Thank you for playing ^^

Fantastic puzzle! It took longer than I'd like to admit to find the first sneaky use of the exit surface. Quite a few cool moves packed in there!

@SHOOD Great song choice at around 4:00, love that Skee Mask album! Don't feel bad for taking a bit, some times a map can be very elusive :p Also sorry that the very final move seemed to bug out on you, but overall I hope you enjoyed the map!

My friend, I have remembered this map existed and jumped back in. I cannot believe how I missed the final move in my second play through. https://youtu.be/l67cGFi4-XA I haven't felt this stupid since... 2 days ago when I botched Fabs small hops map in a similar way.
