Yes, it is easy, but I'm sure the game developers didn't want this to be possible, because even some of the original maps can be exploited in this way. :lol:
However it is really easy to fix the map so that it is impossible to skip the puzzle.

Redunzl and I can't bunnyhop (we play splitscreen with controllers) and I can barely strafe-jump, so we did it the hard way. Except it wasn't (hard, that is). We never used the blue gel. Still, the looks were good, if somewhat simple (but that's the underground theme, isn't it?) What little there is, is well done enough to merit a 4, but this one-and-a-half trick pony is just too short and easy. 3/5 from us.

Sweet short map, but it needs some more work on it and the puzzles are kinda easy.

Here is the blindrun I just had last night together with lpfreaky90:

To expand on why KennKong and I did not need the repulsion gel, just in case you want to tweak your puzzle so that the gel is required for the solution:

1. We were able to use

Spoiler

a vertical accelerator + fling up out of the floor

to get up to the button.

2. Not sure if this was intended or not, but

Kenn was able to jump up and push the button after I caught him with the lignt bridge. He didn't need gel to make the jump

.

Nice look. Puzzle is easy, and the map needs some work to eliminate the "super-ninja" exploits.

3/5 from me.
