CCP#18 - Ankylosis

"I woke up one morning, in a huge ice cave, where I could no longer move a part of myself, as if my body was frozen or held prisoner. There was also a presence in this cave, as if someone had already been there... So I tried to move around as best I could and to be guided in order to find an exit, towards the light of day... But was it really a dream?"

Hoi TrackmaniaExchange ! Merry Christmas ! (early lel)

Well... This is the 18th map of the Christmas Calendar Project on tm2020 and it's my first "official" ice map, even though I know the map isn't entirely made up of ice parts, so consider this like a relief. It was a bit of a challenge for me because I really wanted to create slow and fast sections with ice and it's always very hard to master these different adhesions and keep flow. I also wanted to highlight the reactors boost where you will have to master them, because they will give you a decisive impact on your speed. So I have tried for the moment to make transitions that are both easy and a bit "spectacular" (with reactors parts), but the map turns out to be quite hard as a whole... The map is also heavy (over 30K), I spent a lot of time on the scenery as I had a very particular idea in mind about it, I hope you will be able to drive it anyway

About hunting : I really don't recommend it, the map can become quite frustrating after a while, if you don't have the right line, you can already start again. But I really think you can enjoy it once you understand the line.

Feel free to tell me what you think about it and what sections/parts you think could be improved. I may be thinking of making other maps with this concept
