Very well done. Lots of fun. Getting the sphere into the sphere receptical required a bit of luck after the logic was worked out.

Aww I guess there actually isn't blue gel anymore. Shame.
Velexia 20 Nov, 2013 @ 4:35pm 
Haha, I didn't even realize there was blue gel. I used the giant laser to murder the turrets ^_^
Velexia 20 Nov, 2013 @ 4:31pm 
Brilliant. Incredibly amusing, tons of fun, and no parts where I felt any part of the puzzle was obscure. Very well designed, very clever. Thumbs up!

I dare you to try mine =3 (it's much more brutal, but there are a lot of secrets and potential for ridiculous amounts of fun).

Reading the comments below i start wondering if I was meant to kill the turrets... I left them all alive :)

Hi Shane, nicely created test you have there. Clever and original :)

Please consider yourself invited to play and rate some of my maps too, and comment on difficulty, any glitches, funlevel or any shortcuts you can find. Thanks and have fun! :)

Hi there buddy. First chamber. I guess it would be a good thing to add a button to the ball dispenser, in my first run I didn't got the solution and the ball got stuck in the space near the ball button, of course not activating it. My efforts to recover it were useless so I euthanized myself in the turrets xD. Sweet first chamer.

Hi everyone i have made some changes to the chamber based on comments.
1: Blue Gel has been removed from the chamber
2: Grate has been placed in front of turrets to prevent running behind them
3: More light has been added to turret area
Thanks for all your feedback. Please be sure to comment if you havent and try the other episodes in the collection. Enjoy :)

Fun chamber. I didn't need the gels at all. I was able to kill the turrets by portaling in and running behind them before they shot me.
Singh 11 May, 2013 @ 7:37pm 
Overall pretty good. I liked rescuing my companion cube. You don't really need the gels. You can destroy the turrets with the laser cube. The turret area could use a light or two and I'd have prefered some signage on the laser receiver (both of them).

Feel free to try one of my easier chambers:

Shane, Goopd map! i didn't get to activate the blue gel though :( anyway, this woulve been a good map for the original! keep up the good work. gonna look for your other rescue the cube levels
wildgoosespeeder 10 May, 2013 @ 5:40pm 
No antlines don't add to the challenge, only to the confusion. There is a difference.
shane7218  [author] 10 May, 2013 @ 3:48pm 
thanks for the comments Hayden im glad you enjoyed it i will try some of yours now :)
mephis 10 May, 2013 @ 3:46pm 
I liked this test, I'm gonna play the rest soon! I've been making maps for a while now, feel free to try mine! :)
shane7218  [author] 10 May, 2013 @ 3:45pm 
ill add that in later. Also i like taking out the antlines as i find it makes it more challenging :) thanks for feedback try some of the other episodes in the collection.
wildgoosespeeder 10 May, 2013 @ 2:56pm 
Overly long and big. With speed, I can get behind the turrets before raining down blue gel. A grate would fix this problem.

I see you are not a fan of antlines. I had trouble guessing what activated what. The part where you time the angled panels to block the turrets view, easy tangled mess of antlines. I got a trick to make it look like one antline activates all instead of five. Select each individual angled panel you don't want antlines for and select none for connection type rather than do it for the button or laser catcher that it is connected to.
Andi 10 May, 2013 @ 2:15pm 
I look forward to trying your other tests. Feel free to try mine too. I have about 30 to choose from.
shane7218  [author] 10 May, 2013 @ 2:05pm 
thank you this is probably the easiest some of them are a bit harder. Id love to ill try now please try the other episodes in the collection :)
Andi 10 May, 2013 @ 1:43pm 
Fairly easy chamber. Don't know what the bounce gel was for or how to activate it. I destroyed the turrets with the laser. All in all, fun test. Thumbs up.

Would you mind trying on of mine?

shane7218  [author] 10 May, 2013 @ 1:34pm 
yeah its just there as a bit of fun if you didnt kill with laser did you enjoy ? be sure to try the other episodes especially 7 it has a cool cube delievery system
mephis 10 May, 2013 @ 1:29pm 
Hey just a bit of feedback. I was perfectly able to kill the turrets by angling the laser at them through a portal. So the bounching gel wasn't really necessary :)
shane7218  [author] 9 May, 2013 @ 5:09pm 
Episode 7 is now Available. It has some interesting mechanisms for puzzles.
shane7218  [author] 9 May, 2013 @ 10:30am

Fun!
stormsend 8 May, 2013 @ 3:49pm 
I also killed them with the laser. Hunted awhile before I found the laser catcher. Had fun. It wasn't too hard which is good. Will play some more of yours. Come visit my workshop. #F4F
Lizard Wizard 8 May, 2013 @ 2:54pm 
I don't even know how to activate the blue gel XD
shane7218  [author] 8 May, 2013 @ 3:49am 
Once you activate the lasers you can use the laser to kill them or let the blue gel do it for you it doesn't matter as once you get to that point the turrets become irrelevant and you don't need to go in front of them anymore .
Lizard Wizard 8 May, 2013 @ 12:47am 
I finished the puzzle and didnt even know there was blue gel in it. I put the spere in the sphere button using the blue funnel and blew up the turrets using the laser. I liked the level though, but if thats not how it's supposed to be done, try testing some more or get someone else to try it before publishing.
Jade BGE 5 May, 2013 @ 2:21pm 
Oh that's right, I remember seeing that. Thanks. Give one of mine a play and let me know what you think if you want and I will play another of yours too.
shane7218  [author] 5 May, 2013 @ 2:19pm 
there is a button that is timed that block the turrets so you can run over press the button and activate the funnel then use it to get to the holder. The blue gel only activates when the cube cage is opened .How did you solve it ?
Jade BGE 5 May, 2013 @ 2:14pm 
Hmm, wasn't I supposed to use the funnel to get to the ball holder? if yes then how could I get passed the turrets unless I got rid of them first? Because the funnel button was across the room in front of the turrets. Perhaps I misssed something.
shane7218  [author] 5 May, 2013 @ 2:07pm 
the blue gel is actually not needed its only purpose is to kill the turrets once you have completed the puzzle :)
Jade BGE 5 May, 2013 @ 2:05pm 
Enjoyable. Because of the reset delay with the turrets I did not use the blue gel. Overall nice job. Thanks. If you're wondering about the time delay play my Starkos map and see.
