That was different, and amusing.

The first part gave me a little trouble because
[spoiler]the "Bat" would keep on turning instead of making a complete spin and stopping again. Actually it would make a quick spin then keep going at a slower rate as if by momentum. After pressing the mini button several times it started acting normal again and I was able to get through that challenge.[/spoiler]
I'm not sure I got the intention of Chamber 2.
[spoiler]It looks like kind of a basketball type thing, but it was very easy, using blue gel, to jump up to the top with the ball and just drop it in the hole. Maybe that was the intended solution, but after the required timing in Chamber 1 I was expecting something that required more sport skill than simply figuring out how to get up there.
Also it took me a moment to figure out that I could and should get the ball from Chamber 1. I think someone who shoots both portals in Chamber 2 without getting the ball could be stuck having to reload.[/spoiler]
I think there is some good map making here, but to be honest I'm not a fan of the sports theme. I'm just not a sports fan in general.

The door re-opens if you approach it. This is designed to prevent re-loading.

I am aware of the rotation issue. I spent over a week to troubleshoot it, and this is the best that I can do at this time.

[spoiler]How did you get the propulsion gel to paint the chamber? Don't you need to deactivate the light bridge that's blocking the floor first? To accomplish that, you have to do something "sporty" first that requires fast reflexes.[/spoiler]

Not a bad little map.

In the second chamber, [spoiler]I flinged myself with the ball over the button, and it stayed activated, so then I just used the gel to put the ball in the whole. Is there meant to be more than one ball used?[/spoiler].

No, not more than one ball.

But how did you guys get into the area with the [spoiler]basketball buttons[/spoiler] in the first place? I cannot think of a way myself, but then again, I made the map, so it's difficult for me to think from a new perspective.

Never mind, I just figured it out. I'll come up with a fix to prevent that unintended solution.

Short map with no ending, borderline prototype. Features 2 mildly interesting puzzles in large, non-descript rooms. One is a first, "cube baseball": the other I discovered here being bastketball, but looked like any gel puzzle to me. Unimpressive and underdetailed as it is, it might have worked better with a stated goal (a timer?) or as a coop race.

The basketball chamber is completely broken at its current state because I did not foresee a way to bypass the intended solution.

I will fix it this evening when I get home.

I see, we weren't supposed to reach the basket. Maybe some grids on those white panels...

I'll put it in a glass enclosure.

Personally I prefer grids to glass. A grid is more definitive... Glass makes you want to find a gap in it
