Very nice map for a first...thanks for using hammer and making an attractive map...puzzle was kind of easy though.
Blue gel probably shouldn't funnel through the fizzler screen. There is another way to get the gel into the steps.
Maybe shut off blue gel dropper after some time or # of globs...?
Not sure what the switch did, flipped it anyhow...if it does something, maybe a sound or something to alert the player?
AutoSaves are nice in case the player doesn't have an F6 twitch... I jumped at the end, landed short in the goo and restarted at the beginning....
A couple ways to get the cube, one risks blue gel painting and there is no way to clean, had to respawn it...
Thanks for mapping, great start....enjoyed your map. 3/5 but could be a 4 easily.

Very good for a first map. The puzzle and the visuals are both good and fun. Nothing outstanding but just overall awesome.

The map's main problem are the unintended solutions which there are plenty of. These can be fixed pretty easy with some minor tweaks so no worries.

Here is my video showing of 4 different unintended solutions for the puzzle. I tried to showcase all the big unintended moves you might wanna look at.

Excellent map to start at. I'm eager to see more!
