Gel Is Not Always Enough

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

Greatly inspired by this map from TeamSpen210: https://steamcommunity.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). I wanted to push how much I could learn and improve in Hammer before even releasing a map.

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 (https://steamcommunity.com/id/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?
