Evidently professional appeal with great Wheatley vistas and solid puzzles, yet strangely simple: everything seemed to lead to gel funneling, then didn't develop. Hard to break if not to cut corners, but that's news for any map with white paint (here bridled by distancing targets).

Note that the performance takes kind of a hit in the outer sections, my notebook was struggling to keep at maximum detail. Overall, equivalent to the first Infinifling.

Your notebook. Your notebook lagged. On maximum graphics. Why is this an issue?

Not to discredit the claim, of course; my computer was lagging pretty bad towards the end there.

Also I agree that the whole thing felt like it was leading up to something, then just stopped. It was a little sad, but overall a solid map.

I enjoyed the map. Just wanted to remind to put info on where to put .vpk file in the readme for new users. Keep the maps coming

Because it doesn't in other maps, Sherlock.

All worked OK. Puzzles were kind of easy or straightforward to their solution - ie cube catching timing was not interesting, just a challenge to get the timing right. Enjoyed the map overall , thanks for creating. Look forward to your next...

A fairly simple puzzle design, that could be more fun to figure out and play if not for some annoying unpolished bits.

It took me a while to [spoiler]paint the ramp with propulsion gel[/spoiler], mainly because I couldn't get the conversion gel all the way to the edge of the ceiling. I got it done, but I must have reset my portals 20 times to do so.

Getting the timing down on catching the cube took me many tries as well.

Setting the portal to [spoiler]paint the propulsion gel for the final ramp[/spoiler] was very touchy, because the button occludes the target somewhat from that angle (i.e. move the button.)

Repeating the ramp trick at the end didn't add to the experience (it didn't subtract, either.)

This is just my opinion, but conversion gel can often be a crutch to fix lack of creativity. This map leans toward the overuse side for me.

In summary, this map was just OK for me. The extra time it took just to accomplish what should have been simple tasks means I wouldn't want to play it again without some further polishing.

You clearly have good ideas. Let others play test a little more to keep little things from covering that up.

It is possible to solve it without using the excursion funnel.

Can you explain how that was done and what I could possibly do to fix it?

Also no orange gel is needed to cover the first ramp:
