a vent that's not just used to suck up turrets? impressive. fun too :D

Any comments I made on TWP also apply here:

Timer needed as p0rtalmaster stated.

I only got the cube concept from playing your earlier maps: colored cubes and the battery laser. A timer right by the firrst button would be helpful.

VENTS - When falling at terminal velocity just isn't fast enough. Interesting map. I love it.

The cube was the core of two other maps smashed together. But I get what you mean. If you don't play the map packs in numerical order, it won't make a lot of sense. Thanks.

Great job. However, i dont think introducing 2 new elements in one test is a good idea. I mean, i got it, but it might not be as easy to figure out next time. I would rather this be split into 2 different chambers. Just my 2 cents. But otherwise, good job

Stric: It is supposed to hold its color, but for some reason resets. I think it has to do with changing skins when you put it on/take it off a button. The color applies to the cube's skin and not the cube itself.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

You truly are a master of innovation :) Well, the vent jets are functionally similar to the Faith plates ofc, but they require placement of portals to really operate, so I wouldn't say it's just a gimmick.

About the cube, though - when I took it out of the first slot, it lost its black texture immediately but still kept its ''charge''. Is it suppposed to gradually fade to grey or does it lose color immediately?

That's probably why vents weren't used in game. Everytime I think about putting one in, I think "Why not use another element?"

And lo, the battery-cube gets an indicator; well spotted! Jet is interesting, though I'm not sure if it does anything that pads or bounce-jel don't already do.

Oh wow I thought the dark pressure plate was just some kind of shading bug.

You have to let the cube "cook" for a bit longer in the first button.

Some of the vent maps suck. This one blows. Just kidding. It's a nice map, but I'm having great difficulty getting through the laser field before it returns. Is there something I'm missing other than "go faster than possible?"

I guess you could say... this map... *double sunglasses* blew me away.

Oh man, that was very hard for me, glad I figured it out though, had to redo it about a dozen times. lol

Difficulty 3/10
Fun 5/10

Nice use of the vent.

Sweet! More smashing stuff against walls!

I think the turret screaming and dying really pointed it out, although for those who missed it, might I suggest more junk flying out?

Hmm. Thanks for the input.

It's just something that people need to figure out. It's one of those things that if it was spelled out it'd be too easy. It's one of those "Oh, now I get it." things that takes a few tries to get. Nothing wrong with that, I'd actually rather puzzles be that way.

In your opinion, how could I make it more apparent? I put the turret in to show the direction of the flow and added blowing particles, but people seem to have a problem knowing which direction the air is flowing.

At this point, I think I'm fighting the concept Valve's Vent video cemented into players' heads...

Figured that out when I tried catching the turret it shot out. lol.

The vent is exhaust, not intake.

Clearly there's something I'm missing in this map. I fall from the cieling and launch myself toward the box, but just slightly under it...

Dude, you're the best, not only map-maker, but video-game guy ever. When I asked for more vent thingies, you gave me more vent thingies. You're the best, around. Nothing's ever gonna get you down.
