Poolrooms

poolrooms is a map in item asylum. It was added in v1.6.0. By default, it is set to FFA.
==Overview ==
The map is a large, enclosed pool with multiple winding hallways and rooms all around. The map also has floating, multicolored stationary jellyfish. In some corners of the map there are also waterslides sticking out which lead to nowhere. 
There are also some rooms that have winding stairs upwards which may lead upstairs or into another enclosed room. Near one corner of the map, there is a much bigger and open room which has a massive staircase in the middle with lots of floating jellyfish, slides poking out of walls and smaller walls for players to seek cover behind. 
[Note added by map creator] All the materials and models in the map are entirely custom, replacing Roblox' default materials, a post process is supposed to be present and adjust the scene's colors but it was disabled due to how extremely bright it was.
The water has an rather weird "reflection" in it that doesn't look quite right, due to Roblox engine limitations terrain water could not be used and a hacky work-around for water had to be utilized that (technically) uses an engine bug to achieve the effect.
The current version of the map also has a few issues with collision, some projectile weapons such as chinalake are able to fire through some walls and floors. I hope to fix this in an updated version of the map along with some other potential improvements and fixes.[End note] 
== Tips==
*Try to use some of the enclosed areas and tighter spaces to your advantage by using hitstun items for infinite combos.
** This also applies to weapons that can repeatedly ragdoll.
* The jellyfish can be used as an extra platform to dodge an attack or trick your opponent into attacking you.
*The stairs can be used to provide a good vantage point for ranged items. Use them to gain an advantage against other opponents.
*Use the walls and corners to perform a sneaky/surprise attack on your opponent or use them to seek cover from certain attacks.
==Trivia==
*The poolrooms are a reference to level 37 of the backrooms.
*The jellyfish encountered all around the map might be backrooms entity 600 known as The Saberzoa.
*[Note added by map creator] This map originally was meant to be a gift/present, the map however took agonizingly long to make as I couldn't quite figure out what kind of layout and looks I wanted. To this day I'm still not satisfied with how it turned out but decided to let it go.
