Marathon (v1.1)

🎵🎙 CAVE JOHNSON ft. Himself Huge Dark Cave (Radio Version) Aperture Records Inc.

---

Cave Johnson here Yo, it's Cavey J with a brand new rap Aperture Science Man oh man. Wow.

Shoved my girl all up in a computer Got my kicks with a quantum tunnel shooter Left Black Mesa in the ruins with my genius Then they stole my inventions, I was furious

Jump to the moon with blue repulsion Get your miles per hour up on propulsion Gravity don't matter when you use adhesion Kill your foes with a robot legion

Got so much dollar I don't know how to spend it If you defy me your career will be ended Everybody dance now everybody rave Nobody's sicker than the huge dark Cave

Sicker in the sense that I soon gonna die Took a rocket to the moon now that's how you fly Got that crap in our rovers' sensors This rap ain't gettin' cut by the censors

Now we've put those rocks to use Ground 'em up into pure moon juice Thought it was milk which I accidentally drank Now I got problems beyond my bank

Doctors said I'm running outta time Coughing up dust like an old salt mine Gotta leave behind a legacy when I fade When life gives you lemons, make lemonade

Nah bro, make life take the lemons back! Knuckle down hard and write a science rap Everybody dance now everybody rave Nobody's sicker than the huge dark Cave

Jump to the moon with blue repulsion Get your miles per hour up on propulsion Gravity don't matter when you use adhesion Kill your foes with a robot legion

Lookin' back on my life from my hospital bed So much science I need a bigger head Got more dough than an astronaut or 'lympian My life's work stretches out into oblivion

Handing this facility down to my assistant She got cores so she doesn't kill the systems So many subjects, so many tests Keep her busy while I lie down to rest

My final thought as I prepare to pass? Black Mesa can kiss my bankrupt... Everybody dance now everybody rave Nobody's sicker than the huge dark Cave

On your marks and get set for Marathon! A medium difficulty gel-based puzzle which isn't too intense but has quite a lot of steps, just like a marathon!

With this map, I aimed to create a pure gel puzzle with no cubes or fizzlers. That put a tight restriction on how challenging the map could be, but I wanted this puzzle to sit as an intermediary between Fluid and Skyranger in terms of challenge, so hopefully the difficulty feels appropriate for that. Comments and feedback are, as always, very much appreciated! :)
