I did two things slightly differently (also slightly harder than intended)... it's not worth explaining especially since you don't seem to be active anymore or you don't have the files anymore. Pick one ;-P
The puzzle itself is alright.

This test was amazing!

Fun map. Thank you!

:cupup: But the angled panel next to the weighted cube is extra.

Great map! It is very interesting to read the history of changes in the comments. Thanks for your work!

Slick! <pun intended>:steamhappy: What fun to solve! Funny...for all the times the cube and I went through the goo stream, it never got coated... Like Rector, I also painted the second ramp with the blue funnel before I knew an orange would be available...should have explored more first as it was tedious.

Whoa! Quite a challenge--at least for me. I was only able to solve it by paying close attention to the layout of the chamber.

I found that there are two ways to walkthrough,but the 2 seems like bug

Thank you! Yeah, I feel the same way, just an unfortunate necessity I'm afraid, due to how physics work in Portal.

An interesting puzzle indeed. Huge thanks to @Paper for the hints btw.

I meant to upload the playthrough for this yesterday, but it got way too late at night. Anyway, fantastic puzzle. All the moves were fluid, even the fling angles between the gel and panels were lined up near-perfectly.

@PixelPerfect Thanks! Funnels and gel always make for a good combo.
PixelPerfect 28 Dec, 2017 @ 1:08pm 
Nice one! I aslo made a speed gel funnel puzzle, but it's quite different!
Mikeastro 17 Sep, 2017 @ 10:56am 
Cool design

Very fun. Blind run: https://youtu.be/Q7LM1856qww Thanks.

@Swedish Firefighter Thanks!

This was realy fun. Love it!:steamhappy:

@Fumbly Bumbly Hey, thanks! :) That's great to hear - I didn't think much of this puzzle but clearly I'm wrong :P
Fumbly Bumbly 20 Apr, 2017 @ 2:14am 
Excellent puzzle! It's definitely one of your best. The ending is golden. Thumbs up and added to my favourites!
Demon Arisen  [author] 31 Mar, 2017 @ 5:39am 
@Prop_Dynamicish Thanks very much! Hmm I think even if the lights weren't there one would come to the obvious conclusion fairly quickly.
asd417 30 Mar, 2017 @ 6:53pm 
Good! as always. I dont think I have ever seen a logical puzzle that specifically revloves around speed gel. The flouresent lamps on the floor pretty much gave away the solution though which is a bit disappointing
Demon Arisen  [author] 20 Mar, 2017 @ 4:42am 
@hestia.is.bestia Thank you! :) That's great to hear - that's exactly what I aim for, since I hate "tricks" too!
hestia.is.bestia 20 Mar, 2017 @ 4:29am 
I really enjoyed this map. I like you can create amazing puzzles using just the basic moves but using clever logic. I have seen many "difficult" puzzles which require stupid tricks because they are too dumb to make one that revolves around logic. So I really appreciate your work.
Demon Arisen  [author] 13 Feb, 2017 @ 10:20am 
@gerversluis Thanks! :)
gerversluis 13 Feb, 2017 @ 7:15am 
Excellent puzzle!
bullfrog 7 Dec, 2016 @ 11:54pm 
Yep, you definitely make excellent logical puzzles and this one is no exception. I found the solution a bit more obvious than some of your others, but I still had to think things through and I attempted an incorrect method initially! Thank you.
PixelPerfect 10 Sep, 2016 @ 6:49am 
A good challenge chamber. Thumbs up and Favorited.
zigzagtenniscoe 5 Jan, 2016 @ 3:10pm 
Just finished, great job! I only found it a little challenging, but still the concepts in this map are really clever! It took me a little bit to figure out what was going on. I found it neat how you had to reuse certain elements over and over again like any great map does.
zigzagtenniscoe 5 Jan, 2016 @ 3:01pm 
Currently I'm playing the test, and I found it really funny that I found that I needed a cube to comtinue, like really needed one, but didn't know how to get it when there was that portalable surfact for the funnel to carry me up right there in front of that platform where the button is! And I completely missed it! I thought you had to wait till latter to get the cube since I completely passed by that, :P
dire.fcs 28 Oct, 2015 @ 11:25am 
Really good test with speed gel :steamhappy:, (no exploits here, I did as intended :steammocking:)
Kuba 25 Oct, 2015 @ 4:45am 
Of course you are right. Sorry, I must have overlooked this gap ;)
Demon Arisen  [author] 25 Oct, 2015 @ 4:02am 
@Kuba I am pretty sure I have, there is now a two-square-wide gap between the grating and the exit platform, meaning you shouldn't be able to use DeathWish808's solution. :) If it's still not fixed, please do let me know.
Kuba 25 Oct, 2015 @ 2:08am 
You haven't fixed unintended solution, which you can see in the DeathWish808's video below. It's rather easy to fix.
lfairban 15 Oct, 2015 @ 1:04pm 
Very good! Took me a while.

'Exploitable version'? Pff! Most mappers can't make a puzzle half as good. This map is just plain fun and I don't see anything that would benefit this already near-perfect experience for me.
h99pilot 9 Oct, 2015 @ 9:28am 
Pretty straightforward fun puzzle.
jandlml 5 Oct, 2015 @ 9:10pm 
great chamber,i dont know what fixes you are talking about. i like it the way it is
Demon Arisen  [author] 4 Oct, 2015 @ 11:42pm 
Hi everyone. I've tried fixing this map, since I reckon it's a good map but that's completely nullified by the fact that it's so exploitable. So I made some fixes but steam won't let me publish the fixes, probably something wrong with my wifi. I'll try and update it again later today, but for now we're stuck with this exploitable version. Sorry everyone :( I'll try and make a better chamber soon.
The Sojourner 4 Oct, 2015 @ 7:10pm 
I initially didn't think I'd need the reverse funnel until I found out that I had to reach the long runway. At any rate, I think I'm one of the proud few (?) who can say that I've found the intended solution.

Still though, don't get discouraged. We love your puzzles :p2cube: They're just... a bit exploitable by some really good players and in need of a few fixes.
DeathWish808 4 Oct, 2015 @ 12:45pm 
I didn't need whatever was in those other areas at all. I do some strafing of sorts to finish, but I'm pretty sure my overall solution is not intended. I also didn't use the other "runway" if I recall. I like the idea behind it though. Hopefully you'll make some fixes to prevent things.

kimist108 2 Oct, 2015 @ 9:43pm 
Well, I found one solution. Very happy with it. Used all of the elements and it feels right.
quat 2 Oct, 2015 @ 2:37pm 
Here's my solution + 2 unintended moves https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Re9crvSva20&feature=youtu.be

Really has got potential. Just a few fixes and you're gold.
Demon Arisen  [author] 2 Oct, 2015 @ 12:14am 
@John Deacon Yes, there is. Use the blue funnel to funnel the gel over the ramp which faces the area with the button. [spoiler/]
Angry Beagle 1 Oct, 2015 @ 7:54pm 
I got stuck in the ramp area (without the gel on them yet). I didn't put the cube in the button so I had the blue funnel. There's no escape route to go back to the other side.
chira 29 Sep, 2015 @ 7:02pm 
Found 4 other solutions, still haven't found the intended one.
cyhborg 29 Sep, 2015 @ 10:51am 
other methods:
1. paint the white floor and use the speed gained to fling to the runway 2. after emerging at funnel emitter side, ride the funnel across the goo, then use the runway under the funnel emitter to speed into a portal on the angled panel across the goo to fling to the runway
cyhborg 29 Sep, 2015 @ 10:44am 
only one, right? i.e. the one below the cube dropper pedestal button. i assume the intended solution involves exiting the (orange) funnel and dropping into a portal made on the white floor to fling to the long runway
Demon Arisen  [author] 29 Sep, 2015 @ 10:26am 
I think I may make this friends only for now so I can fix it, not sure if I'll keep it published. Sorry about that everyone, but thanks for all the feedback!
