Atrocious lightning, there is literally no white room tile aligned properly. Dotted lines disappear behind walls. The pneumatic vent only works on floors, not walls or ceilings. I got stuck and had to reload when the white wall in front of the glass become unportable.

Still, it's got a cool move: run with gel, break glass like Bruce Willis.

It's not very pretty.

The puzzles were a bit sloppy. I'm not sure when I was supposed to use the faith plate, and when I was supposed to use the propulsion gel. I used them interchangably. That is, until the faith plate spontaneously stopped functioning at the end. Was that intentinal?

I have a personal distaste for "glass breaking" puzzles. Their logic varies with each implementation, so they're almost never intuitive. Glass breaking should really be relegated to "behind the scenes" areas, and used sparingly even then.

But despite all this, it is not a terrible map. It has issues, but with a little work, it could be much better. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Perhaps put some env_sparks on the faith plates to trigger when they stop working as a visual indicator.

I am very confused by this one. I killed some turrets, I broke some glass, I got two cubes. I never figured out what the button in the glass room did (maybe the second cube?), or the laser target in the gel room. I noclipped to the laser pylon room, but never figured out a way to get into it. I generally don't rate maps I don't finish, but I saw enough to give this 2/5.
