Spend too long looking for a way to deactivate the funnel. The real solution to overcome the funnel was a bit tricky. (Or it is just me, but I managed to miss the first time.) Fun map!

Another fantastic level! Harder than the description says.

I don't like the first part...I don't like losing companion cubes :(

Great chamber. It was physically difficult for me at first because I'm no goo at perkour, but I got the hang of it. Good work!

I liked throwing the cube into the funnel, first time I did that that way.
Apart from that nothing new, the puzzle is quite simple but fun.
Sure you can take the video as a walkthrough ;)

@Polux
Thanks for playing :steamhappy:. Yes that is correct :steamhappy:(everything except getting the first cube of the glass panel but it's very similar so it's fine), did you knew that already? Thanks for the video (I'll make it the walkthrough video if it is ok to you); about the second video with the cube slideding like coated with orange gel, that is weird, never saw that before.

Intended?
Nice map, thumbs up.
Looks like the cube is painted with some orange gel : https://youtu.be/RCz6lsx2AWw

Map updated. No tossing or throwing.

Thanks for playing:steamhappy:

loved it great chamber
DeathWish808 13 Apr, 2015 @ 10:50am 
Nevermind, I was taking as you were getting it to the other side and I was wondering how you got across because you'd be stuck. It's similar, but a completely different mechanic.
DeathWish808 13 Apr, 2015 @ 10:41am 
Sounds like you're doing it in a much harder way than intended. I'm trying to imagine what you did. I'll make a walkthrough video and post it in a few minutes.
dire.fcs  [author] 13 Apr, 2015 @ 10:36am 
@DeathWish808
Thanks for playing, if you take a ride in the funnel after put gel on the bridge the jump it's very easy) ; well I used this move to pass your map and the only other way I see is to throw the cube to the ceiling through portals (which I can do ... sometimes) .
DeathWish808 13 Apr, 2015 @ 9:35am 
Thanks for linking this as it was a fun little test. I was familiar with that as I've used it with speed gel. Although, using the faith plate takes out the skill tossing needed with speed gel. At first I thought you posted it because it was the same technique in that map, but it's not at all.

Another fix and dem file is gone now; upload another one later.

@kimist108
Thanks!
kimist108 15 Nov, 2014 @ 12:09pm 
That was the first time I delivered a cube to its destination in this manner. Super fun test chamber. The title is a big hint.
Ganymede 28 Sep, 2014 @ 6:49pm 
Your dem file was EXACTLY how I solved it.
dire.fcs  [author] 28 Sep, 2014 @ 6:04pm 
@Ganymede
There is a dem file for this chamber if you want to see the how the first jump is done (to play the dem file open the console and type playdemo demfile .

Using formatting spoiler is quite simple:
{spoiler} spoiler comments {/spoiler} but instead of { } you use [ ]
dire.fcs  [author] 28 Sep, 2014 @ 5:55pm 
@Ganymede
If you read the description, you'd see that wouldn't be necessary; there is a much, much easier way...hope you find it.
Ganymede 28 Sep, 2014 @ 5:20pm 
SPOILERS

I got the second cube into the funnel the same way I got the cube onto the button in "Momentum": By flinging myself while holding it and then tossing it there.

I could never seem to simply "jump" onto the angle panel. Not enough height. Instead, I jumped up into the tractor beam, which took me through the fizzler, which dropped me onto blue gel, which bounced me against the light bridge, which rocketed me the other direction where I bounced once more onto the angle panel. Again, total accident.
dire.fcs  [author] 28 Sep, 2014 @ 5:16pm 
@Ganymede
Thanks again for playing; how did you manage to get the second cube in the funnel/button? The initial move I make is just one jump to get up the in the angled panel to get the first cube.
Ganymede 28 Sep, 2014 @ 4:15pm 
This map is going down as one of my favorites, together with "Fluid". Despite what I may have said about the other three maps (which I still hold to), this is one of your finest works.

The initial move you have to make to get the first cube is INSANE. In fact, I literally discovered it by complete accident. I was just having fun playing around with the tractor beam and gel, content that I couldn't figure it out, and was pleasantly surprised when I just so happened to find myself up there with the cube.

Once I got the first cube, everything else fell rather nicely into place. I wouldn't call the rest "easy", but I never once became truly" stuck". Of course, that's probably because I spent most of my time figuring the rest of the puzzle out while I remained perplexed as to how to get the first cube.

Great map!
Ganymede 28 Sep, 2014 @ 3:53pm 
Still working on this one, but I *did* find a really interesting bug in the game:

http://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=320072357

The blue gel is NOT coming through the blue portal. I thought it was just a graphical glitch at first, since I saw some blue gel flickering within the tractor beam, but when I released the gel, nothing actually fell to the ground.

I should start making a list of these. Maybe send them to Valve...
dire.fcs  [author] 27 Aug, 2014 @ 9:11am 
How is that possible? Some console instruction to make the player fly or walk in the air?
dire.fcs  [author] 11 Jul, 2014 @ 11:02am 
Thanks for playing UFS FrostGiant! By now there is something wierd with my P2 and I can't play for three weeks. The initial start menu of P2 (where we choose the campaign, community, options, etc) doesn't appear.
FrostGiant 11 Jul, 2014 @ 5:17am 
Very good chamber,took some time to solve it.Keep up making them :)
dire.fcs  [author] 16 Jun, 2014 @ 10:50am 
Didn't knew that; I'll make a new one in a few minutes. Thanks for the advice!
wildgoosespeeder 16 Jun, 2014 @ 10:39am 
The demo file will no longer work with the new version of the map. Just letting you know.
dire.fcs  [author] 16 Jun, 2014 @ 10:33am 
@wildgoosespeeder
I made some visual changes to this map. Thanks for the tips!
dire.fcs  [author] 16 Jun, 2014 @ 10:29am 
@wildgoosespeeder
Yes, don't have to do another service registration and login...
wildgoosespeeder 16 Jun, 2014 @ 9:37am 
Google Drive?
dire.fcs  [author] 16 Jun, 2014 @ 6:49am 
@wilggoosespeeder
Thanks for your help. I found that gmail (google) has a similar service, I have the dem file (which playing in my P2 crashes the game).
wildgoosespeeder 15 Jun, 2014 @ 10:37pm 
Common methods include Dropbox and sites like MegaUpload (website taken down by law but you will find similar websites).
dire.fcs  [author] 15 Jun, 2014 @ 8:07pm 
I'll make a demo, but I don't know how to post it on steam.
wildgoosespeeder 15 Jun, 2014 @ 7:45pm 
Maybe you should create a solution video so that way I can see what you had in mind. Maybe analysis of how you want the test subjects to solve the test can help me pinpoint problem areas. Same can be said about LetItGo.
dire.fcs  [author] 15 Jun, 2014 @ 2:03pm 
@wildgoosespeeder
I don't use the funnel to jump! I use the funnel to get up
wildgoosespeeder 15 Jun, 2014 @ 1:59pm 
That I did, but felt too "picky". Took several tries, insane timing, and luck.
dire.fcs  [author] 15 Jun, 2014 @ 1:13pm 
@wildgoosespeeder
I make one jump to get upstairs!
wildgoosespeeder 15 Jun, 2014 @ 12:52pm 
Yeah. I don't think I did it right. I had to really try over and over again.
dire.fcs  [author] 15 Jun, 2014 @ 12:37pm 
What do you mean by annoyngly? to get the first cube?
wildgoosespeeder 15 Jun, 2014 @ 12:25pm 
I did finish before I suggested changes. I just felt like I was wandering around fooling around until I got somewhere I needed to be. Needs better prompts that aren't too obscure nor too obvious. I don't know how because only you know what you wanted your players to do.
dire.fcs  [author] 15 Jun, 2014 @ 12:21pm 
@wildgoosespeeder
Thanks for the advice! I removed the lightstrips that were causing antline distortion. I hope you can finish this one!
wildgoosespeeder 15 Jun, 2014 @ 11:06am 
Remove the light strips so that way antlines can flow freely without symbols.
dire.fcs  [author] 15 Jun, 2014 @ 4:23am 
@wildgoosespeeder
Thanks for playing! No tossing! About the visual clutter, what do you suggest?
