This is a tedious map which would be ok if F6 and F7 would save and restore properly. After returning to the main chamber I saw that the cube was at the far end held there by the tractor beam. I saved the game here and explored the first upper corridor. Finding that this was not the exit, I restored. Alas the tractor beam was now blocked and the cube no longer touching the button. I had to go back and redo the bouncing room to correct this.

Took a few tedious tries to recognize the other openening, while it was open. Otherwise, great architecture, and clever design, as usual =)

I particularly enjoyed my first view of the last room.

Just saw it. One of the chamber things opens up when you go up the elevator.... the problem is the elevator stalls if you aren't 100% in the middle of the platform. So all these times I got stuck in the elevator the chamber thing closed.

So I get to the bouncy room and the first thing that happens is I get trapped with no way out in the force field holding me against the button. I'm sorry, bud, I know a lot of work went into this test chamber, but after getting nailed twice with design choices (clipping issue and then a no escape trap), I gotta vote it down.

I'm sorry, I had to vote this down. I have no idea what is going on. Either the chamber is bugged, or I'm not seeing something because it's too dark. I cannot get the second lock to move away. I wound up painting the entire room white with the tubes that spray white and water. There's a deep fall after that room, then there is a fork where you can see a shaft going up which is blocked off, or an elevator going up to the first room. Nothing else. I destroyed my cube multiple times, I've searched all over, everywhere is dark and I have no idea if I'm missing an area or not.

I had a friend help me out and look through it and he's just completely stumped too. If we're missing something because it's dark, then I dunno what to say. If not then something might be bugged? I dunno.

This was one was pretty fun and goofy, I really enjoyed the layout too.

Experienced the same problem as mechahamham. Not so much a glitch or a bug, it's caused by the companion cube pressing the button that releases all cubes becoming covered in blue gel somehow and just repeatedly bouncing around the button. Unfortunately, it's also not possible to get the cube out to clean it.
It looked like a promising chamber though, I used a similar idea in my first chamber, Helium. Will be finishing the rest of the series when I get time.

Very buggy. After having finished the 'bouncy cube' room, I took the elevator. I saw the companion cube moved on, so I tried to take the exit. But then, the cubes restarted their self-destruction-whatever, and my companion cube got stucked. I hope a second restart will fix this.

I ran into a glitch as well in the 'bouncy cube' room. After I had 2 of the cubes successfully placed on switches, I was about to place a third and it fizzled. All the cubes in the room fizzled, and the droppers started chain-dropping cubes, only for them to fizzle before they hit the ground. Wierd bug.

@Naranjito oh i see. i will get around to fixing that in the near future. Im glad you enjoyed it if you would like to try the other episodes follow the link to the collection :) http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/workshop/filedetails/?id=143032975

@shane7218 @ohiomambo That ain't a glitch, that happens when the repulsion gel touches the cube that's pressing the button. Happened to me and It took me quite a while to finish the map.
By the way, it's a really nice one.
shane7218  [author] 10 May, 2013 @ 1:37pm 
thanks very much :) Episode 7 is probably my favourite with its unique start and cube delivery system :) thanks for your feedback
ohiomambo 10 May, 2013 @ 1:32pm 
*phew* Finished! Really great map! Because of the glitch my thoughts were way to complicated. But without it, it was a nice and fun map, will play the others now :)
shane7218  [author] 10 May, 2013 @ 1:19pm 
no problem let me know if this happens again
ohiomambo 10 May, 2013 @ 1:16pm 
ok thank you :)
shane7218  [author] 10 May, 2013 @ 1:00pm 
really ? thats not supposed to happen must be a glitch ...... try reload the map thats not part of it
ohiomambo 10 May, 2013 @ 12:59pm 
But I thought the cube in the funnel would activate the button,which would make the other cubes fall down and then destroy theirselfs... oO

There are no cubes bouncing around, they just get destroyed again and again..
shane7218  [author] 10 May, 2013 @ 11:11am 
your not supposed to get that cube your supposed to get the ones that are bouncing around and put them in the cube holders to get out of the room
ohiomambo 10 May, 2013 @ 11:00am 
I don't get it >.< I was in the blue excursion funnel in the room with the repulsion gel and tried to get the cube away from the button. But when I was in there I couldnt get out? Am I dumb or is this unsolvable? :( *frustrated*
shane7218  [author] 8 May, 2013 @ 6:50am 
oh i see. Did you enjoy the other episodes
Pluisje 8 May, 2013 @ 6:31am 
No, first I did not see the exit. (Dark spot) So I started to build a bridge with cubes to go on top of the elevator (rail platform up) to look if someting was there. It was to difficult as you cannot save and reload the map without distroying all cubes.
shane7218  [author] 8 May, 2013 @ 3:53am 
Haha nice im assuming you waited for the companion cube to hit the button then took them with you. Since there not companion cubes it doesn't really matter but nice find never thought of doing that :)
Pluisje 8 May, 2013 @ 1:31am 
Played all 6 episodes. You have a certain way....of compossing... It's interesting.

This one triggered me at most. Wonder how many cubes you could rescue.
