Who Threw Blue Goo?

Description
A funnel guidance game, arial faith plate jumping, and some blue goo are the main themes to the latest map to spring from the mind of madness that brought you Shaft and Cube Calculations. You'll arrive in the main room with the exit tantalizingly near yet locked until you find the right keys: A Cube and a Sphere. There are three rooms with buttons behind glass that are immediately observable upon entering, however each one must be pressed in order as will be apparent upon further exploration. The ball and the faith plate puzzles can be done independantly until the rest of the puzzles will line up in linear progression.

This map should be considered intermediate in difficulty to the experienced Portal 2 player. It is estimated to take 15-45 minutes to completion. As always, all constructive criticism will be appreciated in order to improve upon the design of the map and puzzles. Without input from you the community, I may not spot a flaw in a puzzle that breaks the map and destroys the experience, so thank you!

This map has been in constant edit mode to iron out all foreseeable cheats and work arounds which made a rather lengthy map making experience. At this point I am rather confident that with minimal experimentation, players should find their way forward to the exit an enjoyable challenge. The ball game mechanics were honestly the biggest pain to work out and almost couldn't be done until I added an extra layer to the puzzle's background. As a result it didn't turn out completely as 2D as I wanted but still works, as the ball now rolls off platforms that you can observe through the glass and easily follow. Hopefully you will agree.

Oh, I figured you proved your point. The ball game was designed to need only one of the balls to complete. You found a way to get the other one, which while not intended, doesn't break the map. I figured nothing more needed to be said, since you proved your point.

@DBladedPantz, Why do you still have not commented the fact that I was able to get both sphere from the "funnel game" ? =)

I take your point but I'mjust saying thats why for example mevious's map gate requires you only to realise a few small things. I wasn't tryingto insult you, don't get me wrong I definitely am not insulting you

Hard but simple = lazy in my book. If it was so hard and challenging, why not continue the challenge? Why be content with a single difficult puzzle? You have a brain and I want to give it a challenge. One room with a puzzle that has one "trick" to it usually irritates me that the designer didn't think I was smart enough to keep track of multiple elements to keep the puzzles going. So you say simple but hard is good, but I see it as a limiting experience.

Often the best portal maps are hard but simple, having about 20 different things to solve is fun but try harder next time tbh

lol! U should test your map better before making such statements https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/profiles/76561198041374963/screenshot/596971085969523709

Nope. In fact, its impossible to get the second ball out of the funnel game, as it would drop into the recepticle that spawns it everytime and make you start again. You can choose to use the first ball to open the door first and then respawn it, or get the ball to the exit and use the second ball to retreive the first one; I leave it open-ended for people to be able to do either method as they choose. All part of the grand design!

I beat it again and make a conclude that you don't necessarily need the second ball here :D
