Brilliant! It took a lot of thought and was really satisfying to finally complete it. A very well made map.

will you have a guide on how to make a good A.T. map?

Two cubes play multiple roles in the second half of puzzle.The brilliant design makes me feel stunning just like playing the Portal 2 for the first time.
A very exact and self-consistency work!

Wow! Just when I'm thinking I'm not ever going to see anything actually good on the Aperture Tag workshop, I find that my favourite Portal 2 mapper has apparently already made just that as well! Fantastic work!

Thank you for making a proper Aperture Tag map :) Loved it

Glass pane stretched fixes the funnel's reach?

Oh wait, I guess that works. Didn't think of that, but if you fix the funnel expoit, you will need to make sure the player can get untrapped.

@wildgoosespeeder Thanks! Yeah sending orange gel into it can be bypassed but I couldn't see any way of preventing that from happening... It's intended that it can reach the laser area because you need to be able to get up there even when the funnel is on. The anti-trapping faith plate is never useless, because as you say you can use it to jump into the funnel, which takes you up to the laser area, and from there you can jump onto the other faith plate :)
wildgoosespeeder 7 Feb, 2017 @ 12:42pm 
Very nice. My only suggestion is to block the funnel better because there is a chance that sending orange gel into it can be bypassed. I mean the funnel can reach the laser area and I can jump into it from above or using the aerial faith plate. Also the aerial faith plate can become useless to untrap myself if the funnel is enabled!

Intro room is there to teach the concepts of taking cubes through paint fields, how fizzlers work in Tag, shooting gel through grating, and shooting gel through grating while bouncing :) . Most players should already know these concepts, but the intro room still subconsciously reminds them of how they work, meaning they'll have the concepts fresh in their mind for the main chamber.

Really glad you enjoyed it so much! :D

@| \_/ () Thank you very much indeed! I'll be sure to play your ApTag tests. Yeah I was inspired to make this when I saw how terrible most maps on the ApTag workshop are - and when they are good they rely on Portals more than gels. I wanted to make a puzzle which has no portals at all but is still puzzling - you really need to think with gels to complete it.

The two blue paint fields are just for visibility, and to make doubly sure you know you have blue gel available when you get there - so wherever you are in the chamber you should be able to see that you get blue gel access up there, meaning you can plan ahead...

Finally! A good Aperture Tag puzzle! And here I was, thinking I'm the only one, who has aperture tag maps with good puzzle ideas...not that I'm bragging *wink, wink* :D

I adore this map! Given that the tag workshop doesn't have many good maps, that's not saying much, but I really think this is a great puzzle. It's more complex than any tag puzzle I've played and yet it's still logical, well layed-out and very fun to play! The intro part felt a bit disjointed from the rest, but I can see why you put it there.
The one thing is that I don't really know why there are 2 blue paint fields in that tunnel in front of the exit instead of 1.
I liked it so much that I'm going to replay it right now. Thumbs up and favorite!

Seriously, if you're into playing and not just making good paint maps, you can try this one .

I think this might be the best Aperture Tag Workshop Puzzle that I've played. Quite enjoyed it. Nice work!
