That was tons of fun, lots of cool ideas. The theme was really well executed too, beautiful map! Also nice that there is a secret

[spoiler]Because you don't need to press the conversion gel button with the first cube to pass the second chamber I got very confused in the last room when I only had one cube. I also did not think that portaling through the grate to get to the walkway where the observation room is was intended since you can portal to many places through that grate I assumed it was an oversight and thought that grate was only to get repulsion gel. Once I did find my way onto that catwalk, I did not notice that it led up to near the first cube dropper for quite some time, but I then realized there was a first cube and I went back through the puzzle to get it.

Eventually I figured out how to bounce the cube through, but as others said the second gel dropper is technically not neccessary as you can simply portal to the blue button area and then get the white gel from there.

It bothers me that you can get stuck in an earlier room and have to do that part of the puzzle again if you misplace your portals. For example, I got stuck at the blue gel when at the third room but it is also possible to portal back to the very beginning from the third room.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]The truth is that grate has two purposes: Getting the gel and finding the easter egg. The box is actually supposed to be at the repulsion gel area (assuming you didn't move it, which the "puzzle" just before the third room almost garentees you didn't) and so that's how you can get that box into the third room.

I noticed this, but I couldn't think of any way to prevent it, so it's left as is. (save turning it off, which is bad because what if you go back and use repulsion gel somewhere and permanently stuck yourself?)

And yes, I had the foresight to know people wouldn't like to go through the entire map again so I added shortcuts. That one in particular actually was an accident, but it worked very well.[/spoiler]

Great map! I really will consider this one of the more dificukt maps lol. Honestly, I didn't feel that I broke anything with GEL, but I did think I broke stuff with mere acrobatics... for example, walking on the rail of catwalks, therefore allowing other portal placements and jumping elsewhere. I am going to have a blind playthrough as well up on Youtube by sometime tomorrow, so you can see where the catwalks got "fun" lol. Thanks for mapping this!

Where exactly did you come upon the walkway tightrope act? I thought I playerclipped all the railings that would severely break the map...
