More difficult Tower Defense Map with better design, larger map and more stuff to use.
This is a Tower Defense Coop Map with Portal 2 game elements.
I've added a ingame tutorial to let you see how it works.

Special thanks to BlumCoLe for playtesting and suggestions.

Just had a quick game in it, it was great. Nice improvements over the first one. We had no issues, but we haven't played much. Will do more later.

Btw, if somehow two cubes end on the same platform and that platform reaches the end line, i suppose both cubes will count, right?

Thank you.

I know what you mean and yes, both cubes would count.

Good job again! Even better than the first Tower Defense (which was probably a little too easy).
It's balanced better and more diversified, but we didn't really manage to use the

Spoiler

"combo trigger"

Again a neat map, everything works fine. Great long-term motivation and a lot of teamwork required ("Explosion!" )
The only problem I noticed was, that the vacuum tube didn't pull me up once.

-> All in all a "must play" map once again :thumbup:

p.s. when will your gel race map be finished?

Thanks for your feedback, Raidix!
I am glad that you like this map and I hope you will enjoy to play it a few more times.

Spoiler

"combo trigger" => you just have to press both buttons at the same time ^^

Yeah I know. It happens, when you are not in the middle of the the tube and so you hit it.
But after the round was started, you can use each tube alone without your partner.
Just go onto your button and tube will pull you up.

I dunno. :/
I don't want to upload it with the client-sided paint problem.
The map works fine, but the paint get's not displayed well for the client.

Thank you for posting the video. It is always fun to see other players playing my map.
I hope you guys enjoyed my map. At least you could try to finish expert mode someday.

I know

. But we were to cowardly or maybe to dumb to use it. We always tried to hit the cubes as early as possible. Actually we didn't even need the combo to finish it on expert.
