Körpereinsatz

Description
PLEASE READ!

This is a gimmick map without portal gun or logical sequences. It's all about unusual, but "basic" movements. The execution may take a try or two if you aren't familiar with it.

The following stuff is not intended:
- cube tossing with wild mouse movements
- well-known speed running techniques (bhop, wall strafing, cube hopping, etc.)
- frustrating cube juggling
- balancing a cube on its edge so that you can reach the exit platform with only one cube
- glitches

F6 / F7 recommended.
The cubes are auto-respawning, although that's not relevant for the solution.
Full reset can be achieved by jumping into the goo pit.

Huge thanks to Leo and Dark Rozen for playtesting and to Libbybapa for technical advice.
Check out their great workshops!

The used song is "Empty Chasms" by Jamez Gillman.

Feel free to ask for hints if you're stuck... you can also consult the tree of wisdom - on your own risk of course!

Trivia:
The chamber is a remake of my old map Blockade 6: Savvy, but also a remake of Dark Rozen's rELQEa AtE. On top of that, I implemented an unintended move from the map In the loop by HankyMueller (/Nobody No-One).
The term Körpereinsatz has no perfect english translation. Possible, but flawed translations or associations: body effort / use of physical strength / body checking and so on and so forth. The URL is still the same, but I had to delete comments that aren't correct anymore or contained massive spoilers. Sorry!

E and CTRL are your friends!
Maybe the map contains an easter egg, who knows?

The tree of wisdom is a great touch. And it was really helpful! it's a really gimmicky puzzle, but a very well implemented one. Thumbs up!

Great map! So funny to do the "hat trick" :D
I didn't succeed in the first move, had to noclip. The rest was fun.
I took the elevator with both cubes but obviously it was not enough to get the EE...
Any clue for it?

Intriguing gimmick map! The tricks are interesting and surprisingly easy to perform, once you know how to set them up. I still prefer more logical puzzles, but this was enjoyable.

@jgaultney I decompiled the map and didn't really find anything except text popups here and there when you put cubes into the wall lights, no hidden doors, so I guess that portal gun up there is noclip only
