@Solinoxia, cheers mate! Thanks for playing

another nice one. The technique it uses for the last part has stumped me often enough before that I have gotten familiar with it. Still took me a couple minutes to figure out the right order of things. Lovin' the bonus disc sections.

@Rooke, yay congrats! On your own is always good

Figured out everything except that last move... After a few minutes I noticed the title, and it dawned on me - Aha!

Got it on my own. Yay!

@v0rtex2002 nah, look up play-throughs of my TUBER maps on youtube...lots of people get stuck on that move--it is certainly unorthodox
v0rtex2002 12 Oct, 2024 @ 11:45pm 
I'm just dumb.
E L Y T R O N  [author] 12 Oct, 2024 @ 11:43pm 
@v0rtex2002, sorry it frustrated you. Congrats on figuring out all the other moves up until that last one though!
v0rtex2002 12 Oct, 2024 @ 11:34pm 
I watched bullfrog's solution video and went back and completed it. That solution just never hit me. Good puzzle. Try my newest if you want a challenge: Circular Reference .

I've done everything in this one except escape. I have not managed the jump to the ledge by the door. I've been trying for 30 minutes. Frustrated and done. Otherwise a great puzzle. My assumption is: Speed gel in front of the angled panel, portaled through the floor panel in the first room, with an angled portal hole, but I just can't seem to manage the correct angle / jump. Or I'm way off and this is not the intended solution

I really wanted to take out those turrets.

@johnmanuel, I do understand, but am unsure how many people would actually pull off what you did. Still seems pretty tough to do. Thanks for the suggestions
johnmanuel2011 19 Jun, 2024 @ 7:36pm 
@E L Y T R O N, No, Sorry but maybe you could remove the sides of the overhang at the end so it's only in the center. Hope that makes sense.

If the disk reader is not in the same room as the disk, you need to find your way into the smaller observation room. There is another hole somewhere in the level. These are meant to be fun and optional. If you do not want to put in the effort, then maybe skip the discs and potatoes
Spaceminnow 26 May, 2024 @ 11:46am 
Got the disk...not the potato gun...didn't know where to look so just got out...
E L Y T R O N  [author] 26 May, 2024 @ 11:26am 
@spaceminnow, Nice job! did you get the bonus potatogun?
Spaceminnow 26 May, 2024 @ 11:25am 
Woah...@@!
Tricky exit...

@Hovering Heavy,
That's a fun idea! sadly I do not have the skills to do that color. And congrats on beating the turrets without help. I designed it differently, but I can't prevent everything

You could have made the DVD player orange since the DVD becomes orange when covered in gel. I also managed to get by the turrets without the use of the speed gel.
E L Y T R O N  [author] 8 Apr, 2024 @ 1:11pm 
@johnmanuel2011, drat! Do you have a video of you making the jump? If I understand you correctly, I tried to prevent that.

Anyway, thanks for checking out the series!
johnmanuel2011 8 Apr, 2024 @ 12:58pm 
Oops I beat it with cheese, I angled the portal through the ground portal in the begining then jumped though it so it launched me into the end, maybe extend the wall a little? Otherwise I've enjoyed these puzzles. Love the discs and potatoes

@jandlml, you are solving these tests faster than I can read your comments!
jandlml 27 Dec, 2023 @ 7:35pm 
number four done! :steamhappy:
E L Y T R O N  [author] 24 Dec, 2023 @ 10:27pm 
@Nobody No-One, glad the last move worked. I hate that by nature the intended solution puts gel on the bridge's emitter side, which makes players think it is needed, but it is not. Just a byproduct of the solution :/
Nobody No-One 24 Dec, 2023 @ 11:44am 
Fun map! I agree with PDX that there could've been more to it, but I liked the last move a lot - it was a nice subversion of expectations when I realized that just flinging out of the angled panel was never going to be enough. Thumbs up!

@Andy T,
Glad you liked it!

Oh that's one nifty twist.

@Jade BGE,
Glad the bonus activities are proving a hit with some!

Love gettin' my tater. Super fun! :steamthumbsup:

@TCJ,
Yay! Excited to watch!

Quick tip for future use:

When I want to coat a light bridge with gel through a portal, I place the dropper on the wall shooting two squares ahead of it on the floor. Then I shoot a portal on the floor while standing opposite the dropper. The gel enters the portal on a slight angle, which makes it fly on the light bridge with a small downwards angle. This covers the light bridge almost completely.
E L Y T R O N  [author] 27 Sep, 2023 @ 7:48pm 
@PDX,
I appreciate your evaluation. I really struggled to come up with good reuses for this one. I tried to incorporate the gel on the emitter side of the light bridge, but didn't quite like it. it was very inconsistent how much of the bridge the splatter covered. The angled bridge gel splatter was much more consistent . Always room for improvement!
PDX 27 Sep, 2023 @ 6:32am 
This is going to be very subjective, but i felt like this map had many ideas but each was disconnected and unfinished. I liked the portal orientation move, but would have hoped for another use of it. I also liked the gel on a light bridge, but would have liked a second use of that as well. What was especially disappointing was that you end up with gel on the leveled light bridge but it is never used. A way to combine portal orientation and gel on a light bridge at the end would have really put a cherry on top.

Anyway, there were some great ideas here :steamthumbsup:

@williampilgrim, glad someone likes it as it is! Thank you!
E L Y T R O N  [author] 26 Sep, 2023 @ 8:05pm 
@bullforg, nicely done! Sorry it left more to be desired!
williampilgrim 26 Sep, 2023 @ 4:03am 
Dang. Friggin' brilliant.
bullfrog 25 Sep, 2023 @ 11:44pm 
Nice one :steamthumbsup: intended solution including easter egg ? I agree with @Dolphiner's comments and have an idea that I'll check and then share with you later.
E L Y T R O N  [author] 25 Sep, 2023 @ 10:46am 
@Dolphiner,
This one gave me the most trouble to find reuses for the gel. As you can see I gave up and added a permabutton (which is frowned upon), but it was good enough for science, right? One of the ones I am least proud of. At least I can say Dolphiner thinks it's "cute"
Dolphiner 25 Sep, 2023 @ 10:41am 
Cute little thing, The final move is a neat idea, though the rest of the puzzle is quite linear, I think maybe one more advanced interaction between the two elements, perhaps using it to get to the perma-button, or just limiting where the orange gel can go to encourage reuse would have really elevated the map here.
