Description I wanted to do a simple, relatively easy jumper puzzle for once. This is quite short if you just go for completion, but I think it's still quite fun. I tried to keep the jumps as varied as is possible with such a simple tileset.
There's a few strategic spots for mines that would make it extra hard without changing the tiles, so if people like this one I might post that as a sequel.
Good luck!

Arguably, Lucidium's final map, "Halftone" is his crowning achievement in N - a standard of mapping that every author should strive for; even 7.5 years on. Combining Metanesque aesthetics with sadistically difficult jumps, Lucidium - put bluntly - created a masterpiece.

The superfluous gold will taunt the more superficial ninja in almost unattainable alcoves suspended over deadly chasms. One must wonder though, if Lucidium considers this a "relatively easy jumper puzzle", what the hell would he consider a challenge? We may never know... — ska

Agreed.

The point of this map it is on polish and perfect the run, and on going slowly decreasing the number of mistakes and stumblings, to seek the quickest route and shortcuts without looking any demo, and to know where and when to jump and make it as fast and clean as possible, and for that, which it is certainly hard, enemies are not needed. In fact, enemies would ruin the essence and experience here. This map proves superbly that a map can be awesome and still really challenging to a perfect run without enemies even without a single mine.

You're missing the point.. Since there are no enemies, the only way you can die unintentionally is because of time or falling to your death...

Wait... did you just call this "easy"

I guess your version of easy is means almost possible for me, but not quite. I couldn't even get past the first switch. 5/5 for an easy map that I can't come close to finishing...

o.0

Brilliant map, position to perfection.
'Relatively Easy' i think not! I could only manage the first jump after looking at demos several times, then I couldnt make the second, so I gave up. I'm going to have another go now.
Keep up the mapmaking!
