Every room has 1 health and suit charger to entice players enter these closed off spaces. Each of these has a button that can be used to turn on environmental hazards: Toxic tower button releases poisonous gas from vents around the tower. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/667/af9771a5-96d9-48ea-aabf-ddb1b09fdab4/jb_verticull_r0012.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/667/6b0b6401-b0e9-4a99-b5d4-583d034307e2/jb_verticull_r0007.jpg Plasma tower button activates tesla coils around the tower that strike out electricity https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/667/377e77e0-8dce-49dd-a6e3-1013c69d519e/jb_verticull_r0011.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/667/c28da280-1602-4ad7-813b-32e4af744958/jb_verticull_r0009.jpg Oil tower button releases several explosive barrels around the tower. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/667/d380d77a-9de1-4138-b489-f030c734846c/jb_verticull_r0014.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/667/45fa6329-5a7b-4a2c-b3d5-d218e135e059/jb_verticull_r0008.jpg Toxic tower spill room https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/667/17fa80fd-88fb-49f4-bf01-fc647df504f8/jb_verticull_r0020.jpg One at the bottom catwalk connecting toxic and oil towers https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/667/7f9024a8-7db6-4e41-9cdc-7f2ae39f296a/jb_verticull_r0001.jpg And floating platform that moves around the towers https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/667/ea37824c-b8f7-49c4-af78-7b9206ee6791/jb_verticull_r0006.jpg Other notable locations Connecting middle section between plasma and toxic towers https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/667/f5d36940-fda2-4566-b650-3e765c61a52a/jb_verticull_r0002.jpg Super jump pad that throws you all the way to the very top https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/667/3d3aaa99-539b-48d8-9a49-dff27a317795/jb_verticull_r0019.jpg Other "neat" stuff Map has 4 kleiner heads for your screaming pleasure, these are somewhat hidden. With one of them being a bit more special Several jump pads on the edge of poison gas that you can aim yourself to if you get knocked out of the towers, for one final chance to get back. Health packs scattered around the map, keep your eye out of them! Few plasma tubes that can be broken, once broken these violent plasma streams deal damage around them to anyone close enough. Few jump pads on the walls, you can on the fly aim for these and change your direction mid jump. Secret thing??? Greetings from Turm Oil, INES 7 and Prometheus! See you at the wonderful and productive industrial zone! https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/667/567316f5-4a74-4724-be8c-00a4292d2fb8/jb_verticull_r0010.jpg ? ?

Looks fun! Also, I'm recognizing some parts of this from past map pimpage threads, how old is this?

It's quite old, at least the concept of it. Very first iteration was done for the vertical mapping contest here in Facepunch 9 years ago. After somewhat lengthy break from mapping I tried to remake it about 3 years ago, I never finished it, though it was close to it. After all that I wanted to release something for once, so I just took the map and remade it again for this mod, original structures remained mostly untouched so in a sense this map was started over 3 years ago.

This is probably in my top 5 maps right now, looks great and feels like its an acquired skill to get a true feel for it. It's mean but fair to it's verticalality(?)
