Description
Previously titled "Gozer Bane," but the title isn't really appropriate anymore. I've redesigned a good size of the puzzle, simplified a few things, and added indicator lights. I'm thinking about submitting this for the mapping competition. But I'd love some feedback first, so play and tell me what you think. Also any ideas for the name would be appreciated.

I didn't catch the reference, but the map wasn't too hard. The one thing I didn't understand (and still don't completely understand) is how the panels open and close. The button in the main room opens and closes them but on a short timer. It seems there are some other triggers placed about that open and close them, but you should make those areas clear to the player so that he can formulate a strategy (since they are integral to the solution).

I've been working on that room quite a bit, mostly because it simply doesn't feel right. Those animated panels are indeed part of what doesn't feel right. I'm not sure that I can indicate what exactly is happening to the player though. Like I said, I don't have the indicator lights up yet, but...
The idea is that the floor button will hold open the panels by the propulsion gel, and the timed button will temporarily open those same panels and the passageway that leads into the previous room.
Everything else is intended to be automated, but I suppose the player would be nervous to throw himself against the wall and simply trust that it will open for him.
Like I said, I have no idea how to make this clear though. I need those panels closed while the player is in that second room so he doesn't backtrack. ...Or maybe.. Well, what's worse: Backtracking a bit or not seeing a crucial piece of the puzzle?
