Description
This Pedestal button is broken, it just switches off and on all the time.
The best we could do is connect it to this weighted button to override the malfuction, meaning the pedestal should work if the weighted button is pressed...
This map is a sequel to " Strange Funnels "

Difficulty : medium

It took some time to figure out what did what. But after it clicked I finished the map without too much trouble. Funny mechanics!

Am I suppoed to be able to jump on top of the cube to get in the funnel ? It felt a little goofy but it was the only way I could see to do it.

Wow, no need for that toggle in your solution, quite clever i must say although as you have seen in the walkthrough there is no need for the "wiggly" in the funnel.
I'm aware it can be done but I prefere not to use it as an intended solution in a puzzle because I think it feels like cheating.
When the voting is done I'll fix it.
For those logic gates, It was the best I could come up with to make the connections as clear as possible making it look like the weighted button is connected to the pedestal. I also put it in the description right under a screenshot showing it to be as clear as possible :)
Anyway, thanks alot for your video and feedback.

I'm torn between admiration and rejection. While the puzzle is great (when done correctly) I feel like it's not in the spirit of the "one element" theme with the behind the scenes logic. At one point I decided to never use logic gates for puzzle relevant elements because it is unintuitive to me, and it was hurting me here again when I was stuck for an eternity missing one simple step. In the end I was forced to ride the funnel and wiggle my tail in it since I didn't see a better option. After watching your walkthrough I see why I blanked and I'm not sure if I should blame myself or the logic in this map.
Here is my rather unsatisfying solution: http://youtu.be/6DvvA4r4siQ

yep people do that without letting you know what could be improved.
My best guess is the same as yours, they can't solve it...

Going to play all your maps now.
Do you find you get negative ratings because players can't work out the Puzzle?
I have a new map that needs testing. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=183262540

That's what you wanted isn't it? ;)
