A short, co-op test chamber that revolves around two elements, namely Repulsion Gel and Light Bridges. It's not particularly brain-taxing, but hopefully it's enjoyable to play nonetheless.

REVISION 1: Removed portalable surfaces that permitted unintended solutions. The revision should actually be online now, as I re-uploaded with a different filename.

This is the first map I've made, so feedback is especially welcome.

Just finished the map - we really liked it - have to cooperate in order to get the puzzles
solved. All elements worked fine and it was lots of fun. Keep up the good work - we need more coop maps! Thanks for making!

My brother and I played this, and found it mildly entertaining. The looks were a little too clean; I would have liked a little more variety in the textures. At least everything appeared to be aligned, which is tricky when you start angling things.

The return to the reconfigured entrance was a nice re-use of elements. Those elements were used to make elementary puzzles, so it didn't hurt our brains much. Since we started the evening by playing Impetuosity, it was a welcome cooldown.

Good work. 4/5 from us.

Wow, that's incredible! I suppose it's my own fault for cramming the exit so close to the rest of the puzzle (and putting white walls beyond the exit)!
