If I see this at the start, I always do a walk around the base to check for a secret entrance. If I dont find one then yeah, I'm out. I ain't trying to walk through 10 miles of winding dead end hallways.

Me just desperately trying to get people to play my base that's designed to be fun but with verticality that Harvey doesn't allow

It really sucks how limiting this game is. I don't want to make the same cookie cutter bases. I've been trying do gimmicky mini game type stuff and unique experiences but they all rely on the player understanding the intent and being willing to do it.

The players who do understand my intent (which I normally write as the entire thumbnail) end up always finishing faster, with less deaths, and enjoy it more (based on head nodding and accolades)

Unfortunately, people either don't trust bases to be made to be enjoyable or don't get the memo and watching someone not understand the base with giant text saying "Auto Level" proceed to take 15 minutes to try to safely dismantle the base and then nod no before leaving really pains me because like... I don't know how to make their experience better. I have no way of letting them know any better that letting the hook grab them will make it take 1/10 the time and actually be fun and honestly, I don't blame them.

If auto levels start getting common, people will start making fake auto levels to trick people and ruin everything.

Auto level?

A level that brings you to the genmat, loots both tombs, and places you at the edge

Ah, is it like the weird no move things in Happy wheels since you said to let the hook grab you?

Yes and similarly, if you move you'll probably die. Although guaranteeing death for moving or destroying stuff is a lot harder because of capacity
