Made for jump jam 2021.
Here's the jam version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xyq5ntkvajfs430/jump_sorrow_jam2.bsp?dl=0

I'm gonna update it to a more final state; there's a lot of detailing work to do.

In the mean time, I'd appreciate some feedback on anything you can think of! Thanks.

nice map
here's some feedback:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

jump1:
Regen at the start of the jump is missing.
Also idk if it is me being dumb, but the jump is kinda confusing.


jump2:
Cool jump, works fine.
Rather than splitting the tele in half to teleport the player back to the left/right side of the start you could probably use triggers to rename the player depending on what side you start and then filter teleports
im mentioning this because i did that jump going diagonally, which ended up teleporting me to the left side everytime i failed, rather than the right side i actuall ywanted to start from.
there are probably people who will have the same issue

jump3:
fine

jump4:
Nice jump.
This is probably me being bad at skips, but i feel like the last skip platform could be a bit bigger. At least i found myself overshooting it quite often due to high speed

jump5:
Im personally not the biggest fan of this.
In fact i dont even know what im supposed to do. I ended up climbing the platforms until i reached the ladder below the eye, then i jumped off and tripled from the start to the top.

jump6: fun jump (intended is water triple to quint i guess?). Atm you can shoot the entire wall which makes this jump extremely easy, but this probably isnt intended

jump7: I actually have no idea how to wallpogo offline so i had to skip this.
But it doesnt seem to be that much fun   

jump8: fine

jump9: Fun jump.
Probably should mention that you can telesync the entire thing or telesync + ceiling shot the whole jump. But i think this is worth keeping as strats to do instead of a pb, since its probably more consistent in speedruns.

jump10: was fun, seems fine


Im not gonna critisize the lighting (especially on the later jumps) since this is probably going to change once you detail them.

Overall nice map, but i feel like 5 and 7 are a bit out of place, especially for speedruns. I havent checked for any gamer strats tho. In case there are strats which make the slow, intended way obsolete then they are fine i guess.

Pretty much agree with everything Shakez said

I still don't get the intended way for jump 1 (I saw overheal so I just did triple at start and some wallshots)
I couldn't do jump 4/8, probably just me being shit at these skips
Jump 5 doesn't even feel like a jump, more like a weird connector or Idk, and yeah the end is unclear af, I had to noclip to even see where I were supposed to go.
You can telesync jump 7 to make it faster, also you'd want to do the same thing that shakez told for jump 2, teleports the player where he starts, not to the side he lands.
Jump 9 I still don't know intended way, there's no explanation untill I just missed it and in that case my bad. Shakez mentionned pb, I tried a bit ceiling powerbounce but I couldn't do it (I didnt try much so again probably just me).
Jump 10 was maybe a bit too easy but it works fine and it's fun

As Shakez said, jump 5/7 feels out of place.
I did the whole map with fullbright tho because it's just too dark imo.

And please repack the map

Some cools jumps even tho nothing special, looking forward for the detailled map

There is a decal that tells you there is a ceiling smash bhop, so i just pbd it, which worked.


It might be better to put hints on the jumps which display how to do the jump (like a lot of map do for bounce jumps)
and/or a nice showcase once it's finished to see how jumps are done
