If (Friday && End of Month) then (Release New Maps)!

Solar Tech Corps has been attacked by ghosts, and in order to improve their security, they need you to light up a lamp with their new ‘Bluestone’ technology. You may have questions, and they may or may not be answered by Computery Stuff, but it will let you have fun with logic gates! Logic gates are the most basic building block of any digital system, but the puzzles of this map are anything but basic! If you do get stuck, there is some relief – as many of the levels are outfitted with water coolers and other developer paraphernalia to give you moral support in your hour of need!

VERTICULOID

by Technodono

If you remember back in May, the map Upwards explored a video game experience sans jumping. The protagonist of Verticuloid has a similar lot in life, but in exchange has been gifted with the most powerful Minecraft tool imaginable, one that your hoes & shovels would be nothing without – hands! Wielding the power of grasping appendages, you can place boxes around this puzzle map to get from one platform to another, power up iron doors, and eventually thwart the nameless villain who’s imprisoned you there. Forget thinking inside or outside them – start thinking with boxes (copyright still pending).

SHULKER CHAMPIONS

by Fergydorr

If, like me, you foolhardily assumed that Shulker Champions would be the tale of a small, unassuming team of shulkers whose lack of experience is redeemed by their comradery and never-give-up-attitude as they set their eyes on winning the local championship, then that is only half the story. What the championship consists of is the shulkers opening fire on one completely defenseless villager, and your job is to raise the platforms around the level in order to deflect the bullets and dash the little shulkers’ hopes and dreams. A happy ending!
