Yes it's a lot of work to get good enough! When I was making this it took 10 hours to finish the first time, now my best is 34 minutes! I'm sure I have 150+ hours of pole hop.

People lack guidance to distinguish and master the pole-hop techniques that might exist. If I hadn't used the Debug - BodyChunk Visualizer mod for comparison, I might still not be able to distinguish the difference between a four-frame hop and a five-frame hop after hours of practice.

Moreover, setting reaching the 50th room as the goal is almost like mastering a new rhythm game. If the person challenging this goal were me, I would still need to practice for at least 100 hours.

There is a lot of stuff I could do with throw boosts for more speed but having to regrab the rocks is frustrating. (There is one room like this around half way up.)
And the Watcher does have something they can do, but it's also annoying with how it is set up so I ended up making a mod that does the same kind of thing, maybe I'll make rooms for that later.

Also, I've not added the final region to this mod as no one has even managed to make it up to room 50 let alone do the extra rooms in the main region.

If you discover other more difficult pole-hop techniques in the future, will you add them to this map?
Alright, I actually wanted to share my torment experiences in this regard. Someone will send it to you hahaha(*Evil laugh)

Their jumps are a bit too big to work well for this, and it puts you into a flip so you can't pole hop from them sadly. I'm sure some neat levels could be made for them though, I did want to do some rooms for riv hops or any of the higher air speed slugs at some point.

looks like it would work well with the vinki mod to! ^-^

there is a 99% chance i am inside of your skin

99% of the time I've spent working on this was not streamed, so that means there is a 99% chance that you are living in my walls.

i watched you make this

Well via the power of finding a template mod I made one that stuns you when you grab onto the poles. I'll have it be a required mod when I next update the region which will be soon-ish.:tm:

Not a coding modder myself, SOCD is also a huge issue for this region too as it makes turning a lot easier. But meh, there will always be cheaters using warp mod and whatever else, not much I can do about that.

But gald to see someone is playing, none of the testers ever finished so good luck! :D

this region is awesome, but there's no way to enforce no horizontal pole climbing or standing on said horizontal poles. (this might be possible to do quite easily with a hook into player movement)
