I think you made a bit of a meal of it at one point - but you percivered! Here is a video of an earlier version of the map: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruT_z0xvaPU sorry don't have a more recent video

I don't know the proper way to solve this, my way is this http://youtu.be/L07dL1_q1gs

Glad you found it interesting ;-)

Wow! That was so clever, lots of tricky tricky sections ;) Your maps ROCK!!

Nice bouncy gel bombs at the beginning :p I did a little map on this mechanism here if you are interested ;)
For the rest, I was wondering if you were supposed to reach some place before the cubes finish in the funnel downstairs, but it seems that no ^^ You can just drop it and reach the exit with the other cube after that.

Thanks - glad you enjoyed it. Check out some of my other maps ;-)

Great room! I liked the part below, although it took me some time to figure out.. and then some more to get the timing just right.

The little room is a useful link back to the start of the game. Only really needed if you are daft enogh to drop the final cube in the acid near the exit. This is unlikely now (but much more likely in an earlier incarnation of the map) but wirth keeping on the off chance.

Was the room at the very top of the chambers meant to do anything?

Thanks

Very nice logic chamber. Thumbs up!

LOL - the gel trick is the point of the puzzle seems a shae to telegraph it in some way. While is obvious that you have to get a cube on the button at the bottom of the stairs it is pretty clear from a quick try the you can't just do it by hand . If anyone gets totally stuck there is a nice video walkthrough in a comment below.

I liked the map!
Brutal start, you sure like your turrets to start off the maps!
Interesting that the gel bomb bounces off the faith plates, didn't know that!
That staircase looks great.
The sliding was not immediately obvious, and I think those not familiar with gel use would get stuck here . Maybe make that more obvious or unavoidable.
Not being able to get the gel all the way to the wall bothered me, but when I tried anyway it did work out. Others might keep tinkering at it to get it right and get frustrated. I don't know that you could do much with that though.
Some good solid puzzles in this map.
Whoa! I didn't get stuck or do something stupid anywhere, imagine that!

Thanks for the comment - actually if your place portals and press buttons in the correct sequence there is more than enough time. Sorry I have not got the original any more - I would have to recreate it.

all versions played without videosupport:) - last version is fine but if i'm very straightforwardly, first jumping-gel version was better. solution catching the cube is fine, please 1 second longer (it would be fit perfect....you know, what i mean) perhaps it's possible to publish all versions (so i do that) I like the staircase, you could make it as before....THX!

Here is Krank's walkthrough of the 1.01 version ] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruT_z0xvaPU

More steps in the early part now and some redesign but whould give some hints if you need them.

Map has been updated a couple of times to iron out a few potential trap situations and make the final leap harder.

Redesigned frist part of the map to increase the puzzle content.

Many apologese if you have been trying to solve this in the last half hour - my redesign of the first part to add a puzzle introducted lots of issues. Hopefully they are fixed now. One aerial portal to get now (yes I hate them too - but that's testing!). Enjoy

Great map, very neat idea!
commander2005 18 Jul, 2012 @ 12:54pm 
very cool idea: the jumping gel!
carol  [author] 18 Jul, 2012 @ 12:47pm 
Yes that's what I did
O'Brian 18 Jul, 2012 @ 12:45pm 
You can do that but it's kind of tricky... You have to pass by a laser. For example. One button turn one laser on... and this laser goes to a laser reciever => it opens a door. Another button turn another laser on... but this laser goes to the same laser reciever. I'm not sure to be clear. Sorry for the bad english!
carol  [author] 18 Jul, 2012 @ 12:30pm 
Fixed it - spotted that problem while you were playing! Now getting into logic gates (how do you get two buttons to opne one door - irrespective of which one you press?).
O'Brian 18 Jul, 2012 @ 12:17pm 
Nice test.
I thought I'll be able to pass it without using the staircase, but no.
I wander how to do it if the tester forget to take the first cube in the second room. Is it possible to go back?
I liked the "bouncing bounce gel" in the first room. Nice idea. =^.^=
