Description
A rather challenging overgrown-style map featuring a funnel and two cubes. If you look up, you'll see that a laser is also involved. To solve this one you'll have to think ahead and get a little bit creative. The last move was inspired by other maps, which I can't mention because it may spoil the solution :P (but namely, one of them was by HugoBDesigner)

This is a logical puzzle. As always, no cube tossing or glitches or other shenanigans are required to complete it. Please report any seemingly unintended solution you may find.

Notes: The cubes DO NOT autorespawn. Also, the blue gel is only here to prevent an unintended solution (found by jgaultney). I know it's not optimal but it's the best fix I could think of :(

Estimated difficulty: 7/10

The music was composed by Mikeastro. If you don't know that name I highly recommend you check out this creator's workshop here for his maps are among the most clever I've played.

Intended solution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpyLW0xZAis (video by Joric)

Huge thanks to bullfrog for playtesting and advising.

One of the few maps on the workshop that give a very satisfying "experience" as well as providing a great puzzle :). The fact that the same move you used at the start of the map involving the funnel button was essentially used the same way near the end except reversed was very satisfying. There was also amazing logic involving the shuffling around of the cubes. Faved :D

Ha, clever move! You're right, unfortunately the map file is lost now so I can't update it. Otherwise, I would have removed that gel a long time ago, it was a very ugly fix anyway. Still, thank you for the kind words!
@mentallentil
Glad to see you liked this one too, thank you so much for your dedication!

I really like how straightforward it is to get to the funnel button when the funnel is off, but how you need to go all the way around when it is active. The fact that both cubes need to be in pretty much every major section of the map is crazy, I did not expect it at all. Faved :steamthumbsup:

Lovely puzzle! Blocking the laser with the cube to re-spawn cube #2 is just, mwah, impeccable. I also love the ghost cube implementation,super subtle in this map. Loved it.

I did find an unintended move. I actually didn't know it was until I "beat" it and asked someone. Than I found the proper way. it involved the gel, and you can find it, here! In retrospect I should've known it was unintended. It is quite tight and honestly, stupid. I do imagine there are fixes around this, but I understand the map file is probably lost. And in the end, doesn't affect how I feel this one. Favorited, super fun solve!

Dang, very impressive once more! Although I definitely agree that this one isn't nearly as hard as it seemed to be when I published it. I think it was my first map featuring a ghost cube , which wasn't a common move at the time (which is why I called it creative). Gotta put things back in context :P
To be honest I wish I hadn't added the gel, just because it looks kind of bad and can indeed cause frustration as you described (unless you take it as funny). The unintended solution it's supposed to prevent isn't all that problematic anyway, because it clearly looks like cheese, unfortunately I lost the file for this map (and for all my old maps for that matter) so I'm afraid it'll have to stay that way. Anyway, thank you once again for playing and for the detailed comment :D

By the way one downside of the blue gel was that in the final move the funnel lifted me up for a brief moment (just when the regular/grey cube respawned itself) and I forgot to crouch, so the new cube fell while I was jumping XD I mention this just for your entertainment haha. It's the same that happened to Spider_Dawg, but be assured, I thought it was funny instead of annoying ^^

I must have been bitten by a radioactive brain worm in my sleep cause after Slippery this is another harder one I didn't have any trouble with o.O
And just like Slippery this is a 5 instead of a 7 to me.
The ending moves dawned on me pretty quickly. Now I just had to get the red cube on the funnel button and that would virtually be it. The moves didn't feel "a little bit creative" (again: no offense), rather... almost... common. Well, maybe the word is familiar, after I played some of your workshop entries now. I mean, stacking cubes and interrupting a laser has happened before :-P

Thumbs up :steamthumbsup:

@Mr Fab
And you have every reason to feel good, this one can be a pain to solve!

Well done solving this tough puzzle! The blue gel is there to prevent an exploit (see the very first comment of this thread) but it does somewhat hinder the last step... which is why I kinda regret it, I still have plans to change that though. Anyway thanks for playing as always!
