Cave's Rehab #7 - Shortcomings

Description
Cave here! Good news - we got some diagnostics results back and we think we've found out what's going on with you. It turns out your blood pH is totally alkaline. We put a sample of your blood under the microscope next to some baking soda and couldn't tell the difference. That's probably why you've had so much trouble completing these tests - you're basic. Basic blood, basic brain. Not to worry - we've been adding a little spritz of battery acid to your orange juice for the past 3 days. That regimen ought to have you back to normal by week's end. For now, it's back to basics - this test will ensure you retain a strong foundation of the fundamentals of gel testing. This chamber was opted out of by other test subjects due to intense boredom & lack of mental stimulation. You, in all your lack of glory and performance, are just the right person for the job. So have at it, test subject!

*Numbers, arrows & visual clues are your friends.

*Comes with a free easter egg

*Using a short run up/starting halfway on a gel speedway is not intended for any part

Need a hint? Cave's solution

Thanks to bullfrog for playtesting!


........................................

Update 4/15: prevented roughly five hundred unintended work-arounds for the same move (thanks to bullfrog) & fixed fog/lighting/visibility (thanks jgaultney)

Update 4/17: Added more visual hints & direction

What a great map! Packs a lot, this was an experience! :steamhappy::steamthumbsup:
The fizzlers look a bit wonky and something went very wrong with the whole panel contraption at 7 with modern materials and one-sided walls(??? that's new lol), but overall pretty!

Finally solved this after a break of several months! Extremely clever. The middle section has some of the most demanding gel logic I've ever seen, and the finale is spectacular. My only complaint is that some connections and portal surfaces aren't obvious; I would have liked clearer signposting.

@theresister Well done!! Definitely not an easy one. Thanks for the supportive comments!

I'm proud that I can say I solved this excellent map without help. I'm not too proud that it took me many days of exploring. But I had a lot of fun exploring the whole map trying to jump higher and higher. The numbers around the map frustrated me in a good way. (Where is step 2 and 4 or 6?) :-) A+

@sheepdog Thanks for playing & for recording your run! Will check it out to see what you mean but sounds like you still got out so good job.

Wait a second, you published a test about a month a ago and I just now noticed? Here is my blind playthrough https://youtu.be/N4jrX4ESkx8 . I am rusty with well made gel tests so I was half fumbling around trying to solve this. I am sure I did one part unintended that I should have avoided, I will have to come back to this later to solve it correctly. I have not seen Cave's solution as I don't want any hints, but what I did at 14:50 seems like a short run up.

@Nobody No-One Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it! Good job making it out, wacky or not :)

@Aneonen Yeah I had some trouble trying to force certain moves which caused the lines of sight to be less than ideal. Glad you still enjoyed it though & thanks for playing!

Yep, just watched the solution video and I majorly overcomplicated some of the middle steps and did some super wacky/stupid moves, but I got the general idea and all the main points were there. I also found the easter egg.
