@mentallentil, fair critique!

I found the puzzle (especially with the bonus) a bit repetitive, but still enjoyed it :steamthumbsup:

@Solinoxia, yep it is very tight geometry to also prevent crouching

nice setup, I like the teasing at the end when you get a peak at the exit but aren't done yet.

@SHOOD, oh really? I am far from the first to use it but it is pretty neat

@Rooke, Nice work!

Got #2 + the bonus. :steamthumbsup: Onto #3 tomorrow.

I am, doing the disc bonuses! Great idea - so fun!
E L Y T R O N  [author] 12 Oct, 2024 @ 10:32am 
@v0rtex2002, hope you keep enjoying them! (are you doing the bonus disc puzzles too?)
v0rtex2002 12 Oct, 2024 @ 12:36am 
I enjoyed that! Tomorrow I'll pick this back up at #3.

@kimist108, thanks for playing the series! Be sure to let me know which map was your favorite from the 10 maps. Hope you enjoy them!
kimist108 3 Oct, 2024 @ 11:00am 
On to number 3. Had no problems with this fun map.

@warkosign
That sounds epic! Not intended but I wish you were recording that! Had no idea discs could inherit those properties
warkosign 4 Jun, 2024 @ 11:10am 
got over the first part by painting the disk and ungrabbing it slightly before I hit the wall
Spaceminnow 26 May, 2024 @ 10:44am 
Afraid... :(
Too "Slammy" for me :(
E L Y T R O N  [author] 27 Dec, 2023 @ 7:09pm 
@janlml, woohoo, you rock!
jandlml 27 Dec, 2023 @ 7:08pm 
did this one myself and got the disk as well. :steamhappy:

@Nobody No-One, sorry about that! I forgot that people could just crouch at the top, so i needed to alter the jump pad force to make sure players used gel + plate...
Nobody No-One 24 Dec, 2023 @ 11:33am 
Fun map, though I found the last move a little too finicky; it wasn't clear to me what would or wouldn't work to get the required height, and not intuitive that the gel gives you a little height boost. Thumbs up.
E L Y T R O N  [author] 16 Dec, 2023 @ 3:37pm 
@joe98, it had to be tight to prevent people from crouching to skip using the gel. There is also a glitch where if the game initiates a bounce if you place the portal on gel covered floor first, you never get the extra height of the faith plate + the gel. If you do it like in the solution video, it should work. But you basically solved it so if your imaginary solve is good enough for you, I'm glad. Hope you check out the other maps in this TUBER series! :p2cube:
joe98 16 Dec, 2023 @ 2:47pm 
The final bounce I fall short by 1 cm. So I solved it in my mind.
E L Y T R O N  [author] 11 Dec, 2023 @ 6:09pm 
@Demon Arisen,
Glad you liked this one. Simpler and more execution heavy. There is an annoying bugged jump that annoys me, but it seems you didn't encounter it. phew.
Demon Arisen 11 Dec, 2023 @ 3:04pm 
Another great use of under-explored interactions, and I love how cleanly designed it was! Getting that final move working just right must've taken some tweaking. Also really enjoyed finding the disc again, well hidden! Excited to play more :)

@VladmirLR,
does it not reset back to normal between tests? It does for me...
VladmirLR 1 Oct, 2023 @ 9:57pm 
but i get the potato gun from the previous chamber
E L Y T R O N  [author] 1 Oct, 2023 @ 9:46pm 
@VladmirLR,
If you insert it into the disc reader, you get a potato gun! . Not required for solving the puzzle though.
VladmirLR 1 Oct, 2023 @ 9:39pm 
Hi. What the Bonus disc do? I don't see any difference
E L Y T R O N  [author] 1 Oct, 2023 @ 3:46pm 
@quatrus,
Nice to see a familiar feline profile picture, how is it going, quatrus? I hope you enjoy the whole series of maps and the bonus optional secrets!
quatrus 1 Oct, 2023 @ 3:27pm 
Nice work and good puzzles - thanks for creating

@Jade BGE,
My pleasure, glad you are liking the maps!
Jade BGE 30 Sep, 2023 @ 12:08pm 
Ha, awesome. Colorful disks and potatoes. Loved it! Thanks
E L Y T R O N  [author] 27 Sep, 2023 @ 7:45pm 
@PDX,
Thanks for the feedback, there are other reasons I am not happy with this one, but I quite liked how the last move combines the momentum of the faith plate and the bounce gel together at the same time, versus in sequence . Glad you still enjoyed it. I kind of change the pace of the puzzles every other entry
PDX 27 Sep, 2023 @ 5:59am 
Agree with @Dolphiner. When included in a series the puzzle is inevitably compared against other maps. And since the first map was so nice this seems underwhelming in comparison. And I don't think it's because of the difficulty. Rather the first map sets a high bar for how well each part of the puzzle is used, so the repetitive nature of this one seems like a step down.

Enjoyed the puzzle though :steamthumbsup:

bullfrog 25 Sep, 2023 @ 10:40pm 
Ditto @Dolphiner's comments :steamthumbsup: intended solution including easter egg ?
E L Y T R O N  [author] 25 Sep, 2023 @ 10:19am 
@Dolphiner,
I appreciate the feedback. I think that is a good point. The difficulty is not a smooth increase in this series. I alternate between smaller (more logical) tests and larger more action-heavy tests. You might prefer the former. My play-tester did say that the first level was the most challenging, so maybe the rest will be underwhelming. As long as you are having fun! have you been doing the secret bonus activities in every level?
Dolphiner 25 Sep, 2023 @ 10:14am 
Cool idea, found it significantly easier than the first puzzle. Perhaps there could have been some more interplay between flinging at gel height and at faith plate height? At the moment the exit area felt slightly underwhelming as you were essentially repeating the exact same move as you did before, but this time it's a floor surface rather than a wall surface. Regardless, I think this was a neat idea to toy around with, but could have done with some more sauce :steamthumbsup:

@Rooke,
Glad you discovered them organically. I hope you check out the rest of the TUBER series!
Rooke 25 Sep, 2023 @ 9:59am 
I was wondering, "That's odd... What those for?" Found the secrets :steamthumbsup:
Notice I didn't give away your secrets. :p2chell:
E L Y T R O N  [author] 24 Sep, 2023 @ 7:15pm 
@humrum,
That is high praise, thank you. I of course did not discover the interaction, but glad it introduced it to you. I hope you check out the rest of the maps in my TUBER series and that you seek out the secrets! Cheers! :p2blue:
I never play video games 24 Sep, 2023 @ 7:03pm 
Fantastic puzzle! Took advantage of an interaction between two test elements I didn't even know was possible - which to me is the mark of a good chamber!
E L Y T R O N  [author] 23 Sep, 2023 @ 5:42pm 
@ART,
Thanks for the upvote! I am sorry it was too easy. I would suggest you check out the other entries in the TUBER series (did you get the secrets?), but they will likely all be easy for you. Cheers! :p2cube:
karmang 23 Sep, 2023 @ 5:00pm 
Din't know gel's could interact with faith plates (I literally tried for curiosity lmao).
By the way, I get the concept but it's far too easy, thumbs up either way :steamthumbsup:.
