Description
Gel can sometimes be only a small part of the solution.

Greatly inspired by this map from TeamSpen210:
https://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=176370123

[Easy-Medium] Two puzzles about momentum and propulsion gel. It's been in the makings since early 2017 because I'm laz- I mean, because I'm busy, of course. This is officially my second complete Hammer map (first one was for Portal 1, but I've improved a lot from this[imgur.com]). I wanted to push how much I could learn and improve in Hammer before even releasing a map.

Custom music by the very talented Orb: https://twitter.com/orbitaldot (safe for YouTube/streaming)

Many thanks to:
TeamSpen for inspiring me, helping me throughout the Hammer process, helping me with some packing issues, and for being one of the most kind and helpful members of the Portal 2 community I have yet to meet. And also for Beemod, which I used for the planning of this map;
Orb for the amazing music made specifically for the map, as well as feedback;
aerond for the script that syncs the custom music with its funnel counterpart, as well as playtesting and feedback;
Stract for help with soundscripts, tips with Hammer work and aesthetics, as well as [SECRET TEXTURE HERE];
Mr. Lambda for tips with Hammer work and reference material for BTS;
nintendodoterk for inspiring me with his warm-lighted theme;

Playtesting by TreasureGhost, Demon Arisen and HankyMueller.

Update: fixed some missing assets;
Update 2: fixed music not working after death, as well as fixed cubemaps;
Update 3: slightly improved lighting and funnel signage, made flings more reliable, other minor tweaks;
Update 4: maybe fixed music for real this time?

Fun pair of puzzles! I enjoyed them. Warnings be damned; I lean where I please.

@canticle thanks for the heads up! Updated the URLs to Orb's profile. And thanks for playing!

Enjoyed the puzzles and the two different environments presented. On the second puzzle, I spent and embarrassingly large amount of time trying to take the cube with me during the fall/momentum boost to fling/run to the raised area under the door--and failing badly. Finally, I did the jump just by myself and found the hidden portalable surface ...palm to forehead:steamfacepalm:. Also, liked the custom music in second puzzle...unfortunately the link above no longer leads anywhere useful.:steamsad:

Ah, I found @| \_/ ()'s solution. It wouldn't have been possible without that white panel recessed into the wall. And I never used that panel in the correct solution, because I took the cube with me.

Very fun! I agree with what seems to be the consensus, that the first part was more difficult to solve. Took me a while to even try to lower the ramp back down .

Very nice hammer map. Great work :]

I'm your target audience then, believe me. I'm not one to start bunnyhopping or throwing cubes in good puzzles just to see how I'd break them, I just ment it was quite intuitive to try and place a portal there. I of course started all over and solved it the intended way - if I didn't do that, I wouldnt've bothered playing :D
