There are some moderately tough jumps in the floating islands section, and the sprint jump move itself can be tricky the first couple of times. The puzzles are a bit dull: there are a couple of minor pushable puzzles, but the second one can be skipped; other puzzles mostly just involve finding appropriate switches/artefacts for various doors. I was dismayed at seeing the hydras again in this level (after a negative encounter with them in the previous 20x20x20 level I played, The Crystal of Power), but luckily these are not hard to defeat as you can tackle them one after the other, and you already have your trusty shotgun - or you can simply avoid them.
Overall: This is undoubtedly the best of this batch of 20x20x20 levels. The idea is interesting, the locations are beautiful and the gameplay is mostly enjoyable. Looking forward to the full version!" - Mytly
The gameplay of this map is quite different, with many new animations and higher gravity, the latter seems kind of an odd choice as Lara having much smaller jumps actually has the effect of limiting the gameplay possibilities a lot, in the context of this contest it's an interesting way to get more bang for buck in smaller rooms however. There's a variety of gameplay tasks and a very interesting flipmap concept at one point (related to the sky I mentioned earlier). The only real issue is how abrupt it is; rather than some sort of climax it just ends on a "to be continued", but the rest is good enough to make up for it. Of the three maps in the contest this is probably my favourite." - Mman
