Description I'm submitting this as a test level because I have yet to beat it myself. I'm not even sure if it is possible, but seems like it would be. Anyone more skilled than I care to take a stab at this?

EDIT: Added jump pads as requested and reclassified as a puzzle. Have fun and SOMEONE beat this thing, ok?

there we go.

All done. The only bounce pad I needed that time was the one at the very top.

The way to do it without any pads is to do it the same as I've done in the demo, but make sure the vertical seeker drone doesn't see you when it comes back downwards, giving you enough time to go up to the exit switch and back without being seen and killed on your decent. But doing it is VERY hard - the only two times I did it I then failed to jump into the top column at all, due to awesomely bad luck.

but I was completely unlucky the one time I could have done it, and died completely unnecessarily. With bounce pads - should be easy.

Make it work:

Add pads to bounce you back in the opposite direction on the left, right, and top. Gives novice players a shot at the level, and gives you that gravity reversal that could get the level to work.

I've tried it.

It is quite simply impossible. There is no way you can avoid the drone. If you're in the left or right section, it traps you, if you're right by the slope, you can't run down it without touching it. I'm pretty sure that last part is simply un-doable.

Maybe...

You could get them both going horizontal? It would be hard, but you would be far more likely to get up and then back down in time.

Terminal demo

I simply cannot get down to the exit. No way I can possibly do it.

I even got it so that the zap drone was in the middle, and I just had to dodge it while it rushed, but I hit it and died.

Huh.

I can get to the terminal, but I can't for the life of me get down to the exit. I'm currently trying to get a terminal demo.

Hmmm...

I can get the second switch and get back to the middle but I always die at that point. It is all a matter of synchronizing their charges.
