It was apparent from this first test that the sound balance wasn't quite right.

Yea, I tried to balance it, I compressed the speech lines so I could make it louder, but it is still too quiet. Maybe I'll try to do something with that.

The Gel converter was far more impressive (I'd love to know how you managed that).

I also really like the gel converter as well; I think everyone would appreciate if you released an instance of that for other mappers to use.

The gel converter is my little secret , but I think it is time to share it with the world.

A long time ago I was looking for the way to detect the gel. I found this thread, but I didn't like the way of doing that. So I've got this idea: "What if I use a cube for detecting the gel? Cubes have OnPainted output!". And this is how I made my first version of the gel converter. I will upload the instance, but now you can convert only the one type of gel to another - this can be fixed with some outputs.

In a sentence: the puzzles were difficult, but they were difficult in the right way. They relied on the players using the elements at play and not on any tricks or gimmicks.

Thank you, that was exactly my goal.

I minorish visual suggestion: in the final area when you're outside, you should put the Earth in view. I saw it through some holes in the ceiling in another map, but it would be a nice visual reward for beating it.

I think the Earth is behind the moonbase, I should move it so players can see it.

Something i want to add, i forgot because of my music question .

The parts of the map were really challenging. We played around 3 hours and tried 1 hour to get the easter egg. The first 2 levels were really challenging - it took us the most time. But the others were a way to easy, maybe we are trained to think in a portal way, but we made them in a very short time compared to the first two.

Maybe you can change the order or something like that. Btw for the first two levels we needed almost 2 hours

Thanks for the map set. These have been a lot of fun. We're on [spoiler]the epilogue[/spoiler] right now!

We had a curious moment in part 4 and aren't sure if we performed the officially sanctioned solution. Here's a semi-rehearsed playthrough video:

We also resorted to a bit of funny business [spoiler](running through a portal and turning around and switching out the portal we just went through)[/spoiler] in part 5. I'll see if I can whip together a video on that too.

Any feedback on our solution is appreciated. Thanks again for the excellent map pack!

We were unfortunately able to cheese our way through [spoiler]part 1/part 3 of level 6[/spoiler] by throwing the cube over into the red/green field, bypassing part 2 entirely. If I can assist further in helping to get the bottom of this, let me know!

Thank you so much, it looks like I should start to work on another project.

Just played through the level pack. The puzzles were really good. Some were annoying and I felt that I lost my bearings a few times.

There was also the cube relay fizzler? You set up the concept really well. Then just broke that concept in the next level. In the first level, you have the kill the cube to trigger it. Then you have the re-set when you respawn the cube. What gives?

The over all visuals were.... Meh. I really think they could have been better. Some of those plant life chambers could have benefited from detail sprites, some particles, or even a dynamic light. It was like an organic, living, chamber was frozen in time. Really killed the immersion for me.

Thanks for the feedback! I'd like to know which parts you found annoying.

That's because I was getting desperate with fixing the unintended solutions in that puzzle. I know that's where I failed in puzzle design.
