The Shaft
THE SHAFT
This super-tall tower / trial map is designed for everyone to be able to finish. Beginners may find it difficult but intermediate players should be able to finish without too much difficulty. Unlike maps like Deep Dip, Wampus, Beyonce, and Dank Forever, you don't need thousands of hours in the game to be able to do these tricks, yet you will feel the exhilaration of climbing far into the sky while navigating 12 floors of varying construction, and the satisfaction of making the final trick and plummeting down THE SHAFT to the finish. Not only that, you do not need to be a pro to have a chance at winning some cash!
The map has 12 floors with a checkpoint at the beginning of each floor. Each floor has a different main building material and usually 2-3 tricks per floor. I tried to use vanilla blocks but did use a few custom items.
I hope you enjoy the map. If not, please send any complaints to your favourite streamer.
Cuts are allowed.
