Polytrack Kacky Season 3 Is Coming Soon! Please submit your maps now. The event will start September 21nd and will end September October 6th. Map submissions close on September 19th.

(sorry for being a little late, school has been busy)

There will be 4 kackies per year, in March, June, September and December. 

Welcome to Kacky!

Kacky is a style of map which is characterized by very hard maps with cool tricks. If you want to know more, search up Kacky on YouTube.

In each season there is 15ish maps (more if there is enough submissions :D), and scoring is based on how many of the maps you finish, and tie breaks will be based on average placement on all the maps completed.
Shortcuts are allowed, but using the mountains to jump up to any platform will not be counted.

Once your map is submitted, I will play the map and try to find any shortcuts and provide feedback for you in this post below. You can resubmit your map after fixing any problems.

Submitting Maps

Please use the Google Form below to enter a map — do not post the maps anywhere else:

https://forms.gle/BQCYqX6d4sG7RA9g9

You can also enter as many maps as you want, so if you want to do 3, go ahead :)

I will pick maps that best fit the following requirements:

  • Length between ~15 seconds to ~1 minute (It is fine to be outside of the range; please just keep it fun)

  • Scenery (not needed but improves chances of getting through)

  • How interesting the tricks are

  • Difficulty (the harder the better — make it as hard as possible)

  • If you have completed the map (please have there be 1 finisher and only 1 finisher; if there is no validation run, or the map was shared to the public, the map will not be considered)

  • Please try to make it so you can't respawn at checkpoints and continue and finish the map
    Example: PolyTrack14pdFB3tDCCCGAA9VKTbpXCfUo4n1UCW0ta8zQpZdhre036csymURBXJLhPMDpW44d6Vytex5cGukHWZ5J8h89H8wxnTiR3pXQI5Uqd90UA7RUc0t4eHZ2Qxfa6oeIbktprRLakfoMMUBbnbfGHbFeGAZT7vWBfBFrMKrC


Also: Can people advertise this on the poly track discord server so more people get to play? Thanks ;)


Thank you so much for 2700 views :D

Here is last seasons maps if anyone wants examples: paste | yVwcgEPcAd

(Please make it harder than these if possible)

my second one took ages to get lol

Henry - 1st map: Make the finish much smaller

2nd map: Perfect

ok ty for the feedback

Why only ten?

I will do more if we get enough submissions, but for the first season there was only 6 decent maps so I had to make 4 more.

Also they should be a seperate validation map and then the actual map but one piece of deco is removed or added etc so it doesnt show a replay. So people have to figure it out

Yes, I do that. I add a kacky logo to each map

i did my 4th in editor but i cant do it now >:(

LETS GOOOO I DID IT AFTER 2 HRS

i fixed the second one

Henry - The glitch fling map I would maybe add some sort of obstacle or trick before so its not just banging the car into the wall over and over

ok

finished with mine

how long did it take to validate?

a while dont worry. I did have to make it easier tho

Linok - Try to get your verification time under 1 minute

(+1)

if you can likely do it under 1 minute then it should be fine

I am not good enough at the game for that (I kinda suck), best I can do is 1:10 (if I didn’t fuck up the end jump).

The best I’ve done is 1:16. I just keep bonking walls and going slow. A clean run can get 50s low.

Btw, I submitted another that is 1:02, do I also need to lower that one or do I get some margin?

(+1)

That should be fine, like therareocelot said if sub 1 is relatively possible it is good.

Hey Tota1, I just looked at the last kacky event's tracks and I'm wondering how they are even kacky. They are not even hard.

I agree, they are not as hard as they should be, that is why for this season I said make it as hard as possible.

I finished building a track, I'll add scenery and try to finish it :)

sweet!

I finished the scenery and now I'm validating my track (I failed the end once)

Also, if you don't think the maps are hard enough, make your own, harder maps :)

I'm the hardest of the hard

Youre so hard

(1 edit)

god why am I trying to validate this map

12 hours deep

and the worst part is its a luck map so somebody is going to like 2 shot it

YES YES YES YES

(+1)

gl everyone else i'm sorry

Please tell me the maps are actually fun and have interesting tricks instead of insanely hard precision or ramp flicks :3

im making one insanely hard ramp flick lol

though do you mean like one to go more vertical or more forward or right/left? There is three ramp things you can do so

Any were you abuse the fact that the car loves to go towards its bottom. To gain more height in a jump, reaching further places, flying.

I just suck ;v

bet!! time to grind out a map

Can I do the cut testing and stuff? I came 4th in poliest poly, so I'm pretty familiar with complex kacky. Here is the link to the leaderboards: dorachad.github.io/pp3/. I also got my map in the competition too (#16, Tightrope Travels)

That would be great! Is there a better method of communication?

Use dc: onlythebyzonyx

(1 edit)

I can not use discord, as I don't have it, would anything else work? (ie. a google chat or something)

1. Get discord. It so much better for maps and stuff. 2. No way am i using google chat tf.

I found my old dc I sent you request

I would love to help with cut testing. I have done OWO (Optimal Way Only) level cuts more than anyone in the entire PolyTrack community and I got 2 maps in Poliest Poly (Clip-Flip and Tightrope Travels, collab with Byonyx).

What would be a good way to communicate?

*byzonyx, not frickn byonyx

Byzonyx PT, is the poliest poly competition being continued (more editions)? Cuz I’ve got some maps that are longer than 1 min (which I can’t enter in here).

Probably, but there wont be a 4th for a while.

hi I'm making a track sereays and was wondering if you want to test it. and I volunteer to look for short cuts. 

if you want you can test my tracks and use sum mad makaniks that make my tracks different. I do ask if you use some feathers that u put inspired by "MADTRACK..."

?

If you want to submit a map, please do not post it in other places.

What happens if I accidentally verified a map harder than Fibonnaci :] Can I submit it even tho no one will finish?

Sure

The silly racing game community urge of making borderline impossible tracks for fun

(+1)

The funny thing is someone is crazy enough to actually beat it

Just realized the maps I submitted don’t have a proper name and just some stuff that I use to order them, so if any of those happen to be selected, feel free to name them whatever you want <3

(+1)

No worries 

the google form link does not work :(

Fixed

is it allowed to let other people decorate your map?

You can collab with s someone if you want, just make sure both people are credited.

man142 - actually a really cool map

LittleMonkey - maybe a little easy but cool

:)

Notobiv - all your maps are really creative - the third one is insane. Just wondering why it says the author of them is man142

(3 edits)

i made the maps but i didnt enjoy or like them so i just sent them to him instead of just leaving them unverified. I will say that he did edit them and make them harder/look better so he didnt just verify them.

alr

Why must I do a verification run? I’m too bad to get everything at once (the maps are 100% possible, I just suck)

I know its annoying, but it makes it so people don't put actually impossible maps in.

Histioth - Cool map and really nice scenery!

ty

man142- nice map! Like I said in my post, I can't post it in the dc server, I need someone else to do that.

Linok - sorry, but it is too long.

iota.x3 - what an cool trick! how long did it take you?

hoping you wouldn’t see that atrocious time :v

I think it took him about 4-5 hours

LittleMonkey - I love the scenery; good map!

Herny - There is a shortcut (Please fix it)

Koshahime - Sorry, but it is too easy

UPDATE - We are doing 15 or maybe 20 maps, so don't be disapointed if you don't get the level number you want.

bruh i had to make smth harder (im Koshahime, anyway... DID SCIENTIST JUST QUANTUM ENANGLE A LIVING TARDIGRADE?)

No, scientists did not successfully quantum entangle a living tardigrade in a meaningful way. While researchers attempted to create entanglement between a tardigrade and qubits, the results were interpreted as a classical electromagnetic interaction rather than a quantum phenomenon. The tardigrade's presence altered the qubits' behavior, but this was due to its dielectric properties, not a true entanglement with the tardigrade itself. 

ok nerd. (im jk lol good explanation)

We are live!!!! Go here for maps and leaderboard ->>> Polytrack Kacky Leaderboard & Maps <<<-

how do you clip blocks inside each other?

Press on this button in editor, if it looks like this you can put blocks inside each other :)

I am aware this is outdated but in 0.4 if you wanted to clip blocks you could through editing the level data but it would crash when you tried to hit test/play

I am the first to finish track 24!!!!!!!!
