Description             : I wanted to create a map with unique encounters but still a coherent gameplay theme.
			  My inspiration came from Romero's Sigil (for Doom) where he consistently used the
			  "shoot button to trigger platform" mechanic across maps.
			  I started blocking out gameplay spaces first and explored different ways of interacting
			  with vercially moving pillars - be it opening paths, jumping on them as platforms,
			  interacting with them by touching them or through switches (both pressing and shooting them).
			  The map is divided in multiple main areas and each one uses pillars a little bit differently.
			  Areas are connected via more vanilla-style halls, to give players some rest and
			  change up the pacing.
			  Challenges alter between combat and platforming (although never any trickjumps).
			  Visually the environment is split between base/tech themed and concrete.

Additional Credits to   : the Alkaline team. Big thanks especially to bmFbr - for organising this jam, for answering lots of
			  questions and support, for adding feature requests... Making a map with Alk was a blast, thanks!
