Description
Hello, soldier. Welcome to the Extraterrestrial Combat project, or XCOM for short. We are Earth's last and only defense against the alien invaders who have taken over our governments and convinced humanity to obey them using widespread propaganda and dubious mind-control burgers. I'm Central Officer Johnson. I'm here to act as the Commander's right hand man, and relay his orders to you. Once you're ready to fight some bug-eyed monsters, pick up a Portal Gun and head on board the Skyranger. Together, we're gonna take back Earth, and send these xenos back to whatever planet, dimension, or halloween costume store they came from. Central Officer Johnson, over and out.

Hello! I'm back after two or three months with a brand new puzzle, "Skyranger", celebrating the imminent release of XCOM 2: War of the Chosen, a huge expansion pack for quite possibly my favourite game of all time (along with Portal 2, of course).

Skyranger is a mind-melting puzzle focusing on propulsion and repulsion gels. It's taken me about a month on-and-off to make, so I really hope it can offer you guys an enjoyable challenge.

Progress with tests has been slow recently, I know, but trust me - I have some extremely exciting Portal-related stuff coming up, far beyond the scope of anything I've ever done before. Stay tuned!

Difficulty: Hard

Very fun map, I like all the detailed area (though the visibility of certain areas from other areas is not superb). I was wondering if crouching on blue gel to stop the player bouncing was intended, as it allows the player to stop in the middle gel room, instead of bouncing all the way to the cube spawning platform.

Amazing brain teaser and very fun chamber to complete! Loved all the bouncing around, felt very exciting once I finally realized the solution.

Took me around an hour to complete. Hard, but overall a really cool puzzle.

This is one hard puzzle, I think I'm at the minimum skillset for even attempting this one; it took me several sittings across few days to solve this. With each constituent step soon after start become advanced casual, at least. Though the timing at the end is quite tight; I remember there is a 180 key that would've helped, but I think that was a Co-op option not available here.

As a matter of fact this map is a challenging one that deserves all the attention :steamthumbsup: so don't get me wrong.

Wow... that was a tough one, took me an hour roughly. Too bad you have a different opinion about repetitive moves than the majority of the players. If it wasn't for the confusing backtracking this would be another favourite of mine. (it's a thumbs up)

This map leaves me as a player a bit uncertain if one prepared everything correctly, if some moves are actually intended AND if at worst you have to roll back some of the gel preparations - or let's say "roll back AND forth" depending on were you are.
Well, I watched the official playthrough and I did everything as it is intended, even if not in the correct order. I can't even remember what MY order was XD

I was more than halfway through (about to somehow coat the runway to the exit) when I thought about the connection I had to prepare. There were two fizzlers to be deactivated and a panel to be turned around, but I only had two cubes. Man! XD
After some time it dawned on me.

oh...my...god. Finally done. Amazing and evil design. I spent hours in a first play session weeks ago and had to give up. Today I was determined and finally reached the second cube!...but there was so much more after that. I kept thinking I was close to the end, but I wasn't. Borderline not fun anymore, but I was probably just in a bad mood. Still very cool. :steamthumbsup:

Only ~14 Demon chambers left until I am done with all your public puzzles (hopefully not all are as hard as Skyranger!)
