Thanks! So, after Fleetingness 1 and 2, I'm expecting a comment from you on Fleetingness 3 soon right? :P just teasing you of course, I don't know if you're planning on tackling that beast, and even if you are, take all your time!

nice map, that last room was pretty cool

@SpielSatzFail
Thanks! I've always been drawn to experimenting new stuff, and what better way to do that than combining two rarely used mechanics to make puzzles around them? I do hope you'll learn new things about both the On/Off concept and futbol... or rather that you *have learned* new things, as it appears you already completed all three instalments at the time I write this message x)
SpielSatzFail 4 Sep, 2023 @ 3:52pm 
A decent start into a series that surely will become... "interesting" ^^ Looking forward to it, didn't play many maps with the ON/OFF concept or futbols in general yet (as there are not many and even less in combination). This will become a tough ride, trying to get myself ready for it ^^
Thumbs up so far :steamthumbsup:

And I agree with jgaultney's comment about the second futbol that is beginning to cause confusion :-P

@Mr Fab
Thanks! Sorry for replying so late to all your comments by the way, I finally came round to putting it right!

Good set of puzzles ! I enjoyed it :steamthumbsup:

@lfairban
Thank you! Hopefully futbol throwing didn't give you too much of a hard time, if I do make more futbol puzzles I'd like to not use that as part of the solution indeed
lfairban 10 Jun, 2021 @ 11:24am 
Great set of chambers exploring the concepts. The ceiling shots can be a bit finicky.

@Spider_Dawg
Oh, no wonder Pandemonium will look confusing if you haven't played the 2 other instalments first :P even then, it's still a very challenging map. This one is indeed way more doable, thanks for playing!
Spider_Dawg 15 Jun, 2020 @ 1:32pm 
Nice introduction to the concept. I'd been going through your workshop in reverse and got a bit confused by Pandemonium, so I stopped it and played this one first. I'm thinking it might be better to work up to #3. Thanks!

@Nexsan
Thank you for playing!
@Determinated
Thanks, I'm happy you liked this little introductory map!
Dire Domino 23 Apr, 2020 @ 3:27pm 
Lots of cool mechanics introduced!
Nexsan 10 Apr, 2020 @ 6:08pm 
Thanks you, this was really fun
Leo  [author] 24 Mar, 2020 @ 2:41am 
@Fricka U
Wow it's quite impressive that you managed to do that! Thanks for playing!
Fricka U 19 Mar, 2020 @ 2:19am 
Nice set of puzzles, though for the last puzzle I threw the futbol at such an angle through the ceiling and floor that it got into the activator blocked by glass, probably not intended.
kwinten 22 Nov, 2019 @ 9:12am 
@Leomievs Oh c'est gentil ça ! Je continue d'avancer peu à peu tes tests de mon côté :)
Leo  [author] 22 Nov, 2019 @ 5:54am 
@kwinten
Merci, un compliment sur le design de la part de quelqu'un qui fait des maps aussi jolies que toi, ça fait plaisir ;)
kwinten 19 Nov, 2019 @ 7:52am 
interessant ton utilisation du futbol combiné au concept de tuleby, ça rend bien et les visuels sont sympas aussi, pouce en l'air !
Leo  [author] 7 Oct, 2019 @ 8:20am 
@nock
I agree, futbols are interesting. But they're also a hard element to work with, imo it's a shame that they can be thrown so easily. Ideally I would have liked to not using futbol throwing at all, but I felt like it was too difficult to prevent in an entire series, so I ended up embracing it. Anyway I'm happy you liked the novelty!
nock 7 Oct, 2019 @ 12:53am 
Nice introduction map. Futbol's are majorly underused in this game by map makers. It would be great to see them used more

@quaternary
Thanks, I wanted to create something unique with this, so I'm happy I succeeded in that way.
quat 3 Oct, 2019 @ 7:00pm 
Thanks for really pushing what you can do with the glass futbol. I've never seen some of this stuff before
Leo  [author] 24 Sep, 2019 @ 7:23am

Not sure I understand what you mean by "chaotic", however it's true that the first puzzles being such small rooms, there's not much you can do and you can end up solving them just by doing the only thing you can really do. So I understand. I'm glad you liked the last one though!
| \_/ () 24 Sep, 2019 @ 5:03am 
The introduction to the new mechanics isn't very smooth and the first levels are a bit chaotic - I wasn't having the feeling of solving the test, more like doing stuff and that stuff happend to be what I needed to finish the test.
The last one however is just great. Once I felt comfortable with the test elements it all fit into place and flinging futbols felt like a natural extension of what I had learned in the previous tests.

@tuleby (CZ)
True, but I wanted to introduce the blue button later as a new mechanic. Thanks!
Tuleby 21 Sep, 2019 @ 9:11am 
Here was enough to use the blue button, but otherwise nice. Thanks :SpRad_ThumbsUp:
Leo  [author] 18 Sep, 2019 @ 4:02am 
@mit3368
Thanks for the video! You overcomplicated it quite a bit though, to throw a futbol you don't need to build momentum like you do for cubes. Just aim at the wanted direction and press E. Good thing you enjoyed it nonetheless!
mit3368 17 Sep, 2019 @ 8:24am 
It was an interesting test) I was pleased to pass it)

@asears16
Thank you! I'm happy you liked the concept as well as the puzzles!
asears16 16 Sep, 2019 @ 4:32pm 
Easy puzzles, but very clever! Combining these two elements was a genius idea :D

@Zoraya
Thank you for playing and for your nice comment. It was a challenge for me to combine these two concepts to create creative and interesting little puzzles, I'm glad I did quite good :)
Zoraya 12 Sep, 2019 @ 2:59pm 
Very enjoyable and nicely designed set of chambers! I liked the flow of the gameplay and how the difficulty increases with each room. The futbol is quite an underused item (I have only played one or two chambers with it if I remember correctly) I found it very creative and refreshing how you used it in these puzzles. The fragility of the futbols and my clumsiness didn´t fit so well together in some places, but I finally made it to the exit, yeah!
Thanks and big thumbs up as always!!

@coldsquirts
Well done solving them! Thanks for playing and for the comment.
coldsquirts 5 Sep, 2019 @ 12:07pm 
that last one was tough. well they all were. fun puzzles though.

@可砸的六度双音
Thank you, I'm happy your liked the puzzles as well as the aesthetics. Very nice video too!

Fun puzzle with impressive architecture style,like it very much,thanks for mapping:mimish:
My playthrough https://youtu.be/7vNBx1lDBlY
Leo  [author] 2 Sep, 2019 @ 7:45am 
@PhilFromFrance
Merci ! Oui le passage où il faut jongler avec la futbol dans la dernière salle est sûrement l'endroit le plus compliqué. Pour l'indicateur d'activation, avec un inverseur logique l'antline apparaîtrait désactivée alors que le récepteur de futbol, lui, est activé... ce qui ferait un peu bizarre aussi. Dans tous les cas, c'est pas idéal...
@jandlml
You will find the same type of progression in the second part ;) thank you for playing!
jandlml 1 Sep, 2019 @ 7:22pm 
very cool map!! more and more tricky as you move through the rooms. nicely made! :steamhappy:
EndOfPortal 1 Sep, 2019 @ 12:50pm 
Très bon puzzle (mais pas toujours évident pour jongler avec les sphères). L'indication d'activation de la dernière porte de sortie est confuse (car inversée), mais je ne sais pas si il y à un autre moyen (peut-être avec un inverseur logique). Le design autour des surfaces portables est très original aussi. :SpRad_ThumbsUp:
Leo  [author] 1 Sep, 2019 @ 10:27am 
@Joric
Perfect solution! I get your point about the difficulty rating, I'll think about it.
@jgaultney
For this map I didn't want any cube, funnel, light bridge or laser, and I found it a bit hard to make interesting enough puzzles with only one futbol. So that's why. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
@Libbybapa
Thanks, I hope you'll like how the second instalment expands on the concept!
Libbybapa 1 Sep, 2019 @ 8:52am 
Very nice set of puzzles. I especially enjoyed the last one.
jgaultney 1 Sep, 2019 @ 7:54am 
An enjoyable set of puzzles! :controllerThumbsUp:
I must admit that Room #3 gave me a little more trouble than Room #4 simply because
until now, I had not seen a puzzle where two simultaneous futbols
were not completely interchangeable. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure
I've ever played a map with more than one futbol before. Live and learn. :p
Joric 1 Sep, 2019 @ 6:43am 
My (almost) blind playthrough, 6 minutes all rooms https://youtu.be/TC7rftdqv_o I think 4/10 is too generous, it's pretty high rating in this comminuty. Other than that, good morning sprint.
Leo  [author] 1 Sep, 2019 @ 6:06am 
@Anpy
Thanks, I'm glad you liked the puzzles as well as the design. The second map should be even more interesting, I hope you'll enjoy it! Merci d'avoir joué ;)
@Mikeastro
I'm happy you enjoyed it, and don't worry, part 2 should be more tricky :P it's cool that you liked the music as well, I'm curious to see how you will get inspired by it!
Mikeastro 1 Sep, 2019 @ 5:08am 
Really unique map. I enjoyed it a lot. This map indeed has an introductory feel to it, as I found most of the puzzles fairly straightforward, making it through the whole thing in about 15 minutes. The aesthetics were admirable as well. This map could go places! Also, the suggested music fit the map extremely well. Now I feel like making a track like that for my next map xD
tl;dr Huge thumbs up! Looking forward to the next instalment :]
anpy 1 Sep, 2019 @ 4:25am 
Really good set of puzzles with a nice concept! The last puzzle stumped me for a while, but it had the most interesting moves and was really fun. I also liked the design of some of the portal surfaces. Très bon boulot :)
