A Life of Puzzles
This map is a puzzle map made by TheRedBanana7 in 1.7.2 that includes interesting redstone based puzzles ranging in difficulty. Your only "hint" on each puzzle being it's title, you must complete fifteen different puzzles to complete the map.
Rules:
1: Play on peaceful and adventure mode. (peaceful is important)
2: Don't break any blocks. (you will place some)
3: Don't try to cheat the map in any way.
4: Have fun or else.
Multiplayer
This map can be done with more than one person, but it could be an issue in certain parts. If you have more than one player be careful on test #4.
This is version 1.7 of the map, but if you see any problems with it post back on the forums and it will be corrected. Users are the ones that make the map better.
A Life of Puzzles by TheRedBanana7 Creativity: 2.5. TheRedBanana uses many unique puzzles that I have never seen before, proving that he definitely knows how to use redstone. (unlike me) All of these ideas are stunning; ranging from falling chickens to slider puzzles and even riddles. However, I do see some regular challenges like parkour, cow mazes and minecart guiding. Although these have unique twists on them, they still feel lousy compared to the rest of the tests that TheRedBanana created. Also, that traditional "Do the tests. -From Evil Overlord." plot is still there. Ugh. Difficulty: 2.5. The puzzles range in various difficulties; one easy test might be after a hard one. Although the tests are all challenging and brain-bending, maybe you could arrange them to be in a difficulty curve? Detail: 2.5. I was debating on whether to give this a 2.5 or a 3, but I have to go with a 2.5 simply because it didn't deliver the atmosphere that delivered with other maps like the Code II and Karoshi. Although block variation and detail were good, I just felt like I was in a quartz room. Maybe give it a more creepy atmosphere by using dynamic lighting effects and sounds? Gameplay and Experience: 2.5. Although the map had many spectacular challenges, the lack of atmosphere, crazy difficulty curve, and generic plot kept this map from reaching its full potential. Don't take these criticisms too harshly, as this is a fantastic and very underrated puzzle map that will wow everybody who crosses its path.
+ Challenging. Very challenging. And Minecraft maps were too easy.
+ Unique puzzles challenge your way of thinking,
- but they sometimes are not unique.
- Although block variation is good, it needs more.. atmosphere. Overall Score™: 2.5 + 2.5 + 2.5 + 2.5 = 10/12. Fantastic. And yet another map that somehow deserves more views than it has right now. Diamonds. To. You.
Either I am doing something very wrong or the map bugged out, but after the first puzzle, I cannot teleport to the next one. I just burn to death.
Edit: Nevermind. I went in to creative and just changed a few wires.

I fixed the lava issue that was right after the first puzzle and the download link has been updated, but I really have no idea why what I had didn't work.

The decision to build the squeal for this map has been made and work on that map has just started. If you liked this one, keep your eye out for the next one. If you haven't played this one yet, then... well you should do that.
Great map, a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the puzzles.
A few issues you may want to try and fix though:
1. When I spawned in I was on top of the wall and had what I assume was your inventory from when you were building the map.
2. I don't have the best of computers but when I stepped on the pressure plates after the last puzzle, Minecraft froze and the map is practically unplayably lagy now. I've crashed servers from my redstone contraptions before without getting that much lag.
3. Spell check please.
All in all I really enjoyed the map, and if I can ever manage to get the ending to work so I can record that part I'll be putting up an lp of it on my channel www.youtube.com/user/konjoiofe Hope I can finish!

Thanks for the feedback. I'll have those things fixed as soon as I can. Also can't wait to see the lp if it goes up.
EDIT: I fixed the spawn thing. That was just stupid on my part. I had two world copies and I uploaded the wrong one. The lag thing I can't fix. There is nothing that I can see would cause that, and I don't have that issue on my computer. I have heard other people have the issue, but I can't fix it.
Have you tested this map? Are you sure it can be beaten properly?

So I was working on this really cool resource pack a while ago, but bad progress nonwithstanding, I think I found something much better... I'm probably gonna never release another custom Minecraft map.Until we meet again...
I spawned on top of the boundary wall. In Creative Mode.

Sounds great. I can't wait to see it.
Wait... did you download the map after I did the fix. It should be working by now.
