Steps
Note: The wall’s collision box is slightly larger than its sprite; make sure [H₁] is at least 0.1 tiles left of the wall’s visual edge.
| Object | Interaction with Holes | Strategic Use | |--------|-----------------------|---------------| | Spikes | Fatal on contact outside holes. Inside a hole you are immune (the hole acts as a shield). | Position a hole just before a spike row; dash in, instantly exit beyond the spikes. | | Moving Platforms | Holes can be placed on top of a platform; the portal moves with the platform. | Use a moving platform to transport Hole B across a gap, creating a dynamic exit. | | Gravity Zones (purple clouds) | Invert gravity while you are inside the zone or while you are inside a hole placed inside the zone. | Combine with a hole to invert direction mid‑flight for “reverse‑fall” tricks. | | One‑Way Walls | Block movement in one direction; holes ignore directionality, allowing you to bypass them. | Place Hole A on the forbidden side, enter, exit on the allowed side. | DPFanatics - Leya Desantis - Hole In Two -07.07...
Steps
Result: You effectively “bounce” back to normal orientation while gaining a vertical offset of ~6 tiles. Note: The wall’s collision box is slightly larger
| Aspect | Impact |
|--------|--------|
| Design Innovation | First DPFanatics level that caps the number of active portals to exactly two, forcing players to think like a programmer (allocate, reuse, de‑allocate). |
| Community Engagement | Has spawned a dedicated Discord channel (#hole-in-two) with over 3 k members sharing custom maps, speed‑run records, and “hole‑logic” memes. |
| Competitive Scene | Official DPFanatics tournaments (monthly) feature a “Hole‑In‑Two” speed‑run leaderboard; the current world record (as of 2024‑12) is 0:27.43. |
| Educational Value | Highlights concepts from computer science (resource constraints) and physics (conservation of momentum through portals), often used in workshops for high‑school STEM clubs. |
Understanding the level deeply not only helps you beat it, but also equips you with mental models useful in many later DPFanatics challenges that reuse the two‑hole mechanic. | Object | Interaction with Holes | Strategic
