The fizzlers were added so you couldn't skip to the next test at the beginning. Every fizzler you see has a purpose in this map.
I'll make the cube start dropping when you complete the first test, so it won't be annoying.
I'll add some clips to the supports so you cannot land on them.
Yeah, I know the cubes look like they come from no where, but there wasn't really a way to fix this. Having a huge brush going up to the ceiling wouldn't look good in my opinion
I'll update the fizzler texture.
As for the cube button looking off... I can't turn it into a regular button. It needs to be activated by a cube, or else you can skip a part of the puzzle.
All the other problems: I'll see what I can do.
Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for the feedback!Personally I can't see how you can skip a part:
my solution
[spoiler]1. Grab cube.
2. Put cube on the grating.
3. Portal so you can push the button
4. Pick up the painted button.
5. Put the painted cube on the slope.
6. Run to the button.
7. Let the cube slide down
8. Walk through the fizz, place the cube on the button
9. Walk back to the button, place your portal under the orange gel.
10.Paint everything orange
11.Fizzle the cube
12.Grab a new cube
13.Block the water flow
14.Fling to the exit[/spoiler]I really don't see how this can be skipped.

For the 2 fizzlers in the first puzzle:
Entrance fizzler:You can shoot a portal to the other test at the beginning.
Exit fizzler: Well... I guess I actually don't need that anymore, since I made the gel come out for 5 seconds instead of forever.

Quote from Logic on May 30, 2012, 6:41 pmOne more thing, if you walk under the gel-dropper in by the cube-button / 2 fizzlers in test 2 and look up there are some odd texture flickering in the pipe.

But honestly, I don't see the cube button as a big problem. In the co-op underground tests, some modern test elements are used too. Sure there might be a way to change it, but I don't think it's worth the hassle.Logic wrote:Flickering pipe in 2nd testYes, you are right. I forgot to add the paint cap model to that dropper. I'll add it in now, thanks.

Quote from KennKong on May 30, 2012, 7:10 pmNice looking little puzzle. That's the first time I recall using a cube [spoiler]to block a liquid.[/spoiler] I think that mechanic has some more legs to it. Would be 4/5, but I think the looks need touching up, as noted by others.
