Dpfanatics - Leya Desantis - Hole In Two -07.07... May 2026

| Item | Minimum Spec / Version | Why It’s Needed | |------|------------------------|-----------------| | Game Client | DPFanatics v1.4.2+ (released 06‑30‑2024) | This version includes the hole‑cooldown fix that stabilizes portal physics. | | Controller (optional) | Any Xbox/PlayStation compatible controller | Allows finer analog control for “hole‑placement precision”. | | Keyboard | Standard QWERTY | Default bindings: WASD for movement, Q to create a hole, E to activate/shift the second hole, R to reset. | | Recording Software | OBS Studio 30.0+ (optional) | Helpful for reviewing runs and sharing on Discord. | | Community Tools | DPFanatics “Hole‑Tracker” Chrome extension (free) | Shows real‑time hole count, cooldown timers, and a visual overlay of optimal hole positions. | | Basic Physics Knowledge | None mandatory, but familiarity with vectors and momentum will speed up learning. | The level’s core mechanic is “momentum‑preserving teleport”. |

Tip: If you’re using a laptop, disable any power‑saving features that throttle CPU frequency; the portal‑simulation can become jittery at low frame rates.

Steps

Result: You bypass the spikes without losing momentum.

| 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. DPFanatics - Leya Desantis - Hole In Two -07.07...

“Hole‑In‑Two” is a single‑player puzzle‑platformer scenario created by Leya Desantis and published on 07‑07‑2024 under the DPFanatics label (a collaborative series of community‑driven challenges).

The challenge’s popularity stems from its blend of spatial reasoning, timing, and resource‑management (the two holes are a scarce resource). The design encourages creative problem‑solving, making it a favorite in speed‑run circles and community “beat‑the‑designer” contests. | Item | Minimum Spec / Version |

Steps

Result: You effectively “bounce” back to normal orientation while gaining a vertical offset of ~6 tiles. Tip: If you’re using a laptop, disable any

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.
