not bad but I dont know what the excursion funnel was for. I got to the end without using it at all (I shot a portal on the angled surface that the cube hits just after I went thru fizler)

I sent you a PM. Could you please explain how you did it without the excursion funnel so I can fix it .

REEEEEEALLY FUNNY!! I've just finished it right now (too many maps to test after latest weekend because of the contest!!). Thanks for this so good playing! I really mean it.

Nice textures (remind me of Blue Portals)... Very clever puzzles...

Spoiler

A really nice trip from one place to other all the time in the last room!!

Can't wait for more beautiful maps like this!

useful tools and stuff here on TWP :thumbup:

Complex, lenghty map with much to do but no difficulty spikes. Suggested for beginners wanting a challenge. Looks pleasantly high contrast, but there's few smudges in skin alignment here and there.

I used the funnel on

Congratulations on your first map! I agree with josepezdj that the map is fun to play and the texturedesign is awesome.

I found a shortcut which skips the second half of the map.

cubethrowing gives me extra work too (to prevent)

I cant really do anything to prevent that cube throw without making it not fun, but that last part I definately need to fix That should be a simple fix.

Thanks for showing me that though.

The whole map was quite challenging if done with gel, funnel etc all the way through. The only problem I had was with the triple fizzler wall in the side room

Spoiler

I'm not good at cube toss and with blue gel I couldn't get over the fizzlers with the cube - many tries. noclipped over sorry

. Rest of map functioned OK for me. Thanks for creating.
