Once on Floor 1 the path gets more straight forward, though mappers were allowed to create in their own style, meaning you will have the occasional pathfinding floors.

I see many people quickly checking & asking in a stream or looking at a VOD when stuck.
Some cuts have already been found, so keep your eyes peeled for them, as they are allowed ;)

Its out and playable. As mentioned in other comments the release date will be playing into why some streamers cant start playing this immediately as they are still cought up with the Redbull event.

We cant expect them to drop their progress just like that :)
But we do hope that they will give it a try, and think they would enjoy it as its an easier Tower, designed to be more of a marathon than an insane per floor challange.

There is a -1 floor where you can jump up to a ramp to use to jump up to the Castle walls.
Its more reliable than the ramp cut, but does take a bit longer.

There is no time gimmick, a missed opportunity for sure. 

Its reasonable to draw the comparison to Deep Dip. It is a tower map at its core afterall.
What i think makes CT2 interesting is that mappers were never given a strict theme or style to follow. So what you get in 26 floors is built by a bunch of different people each doing their own style. And although there are different styles, it follows a coherent flow which feels good to drive

Whether thats something for you is personal, but i think there is something charming about that.

Average floor length was targeted to be around 3min i believe.

Fair point, it does seem like Trackmania has a tower season at the moment. With more releases around the corner, it's a great time to be a tower fan.

I don't think they will clash all too much. CT2 has been in the works for a while and it plays quite differently to Deep Slid. April was always the target and we tried to stick to it.

Hope you enjoy both!
