[Puzzle/Challenge, Small, Normal] Aperture Science

I would personally clasify this level as "hard" as there were several sections where I felt frustrated to the point of almost giving up (though I'm terrible at games, so take that as you will )

Liked it a lot. The only thing missing is music.

A cute little level. Very much in the spirit of The Room ov Death and other levels like that; well executed. I couldn't get past the secret technology room, where you can only climb little purple patches - of the three final patches, the first one landed me on a platform that made the previously solid platform not solid, and there was no way to get anywhere from the next purple patch. Didn't try looking at the level with the editor, but it seemed like any area would change with various shifts according to the player's position; which seemed like a strange design decision in rooms without buttons and/or levers. Sorry if I'm wrong; just can't run the editor right now.

Actually, I take that back. I was blaming the game when it was all my fault. That wall was indeed not solid, must have forgot to make it solid. And about that next jump, it is tricky. I felt kinda bad for placing that jump there, I would like to find that in a game myself, but you just have to grab to the wall and keep jumping, eventually Juni will jump higher and grab the top purple thing.

That's brilliant actually, a terrific use of that jump. I've completed the level and loved the endings  

EDIT: and I found a bug aka wallswim.

In the room which according to the text is the final room (you see nice spikey moving platforms), you fall down. I did not touched a key. I fall down and then I'm wallswimming in previous chambers.

I wonder if you're the only one who saw the two endings. Also, there is a secreto room, or easter egg, did you find that?

Actually, that's exactly how it is supposed to go. I though it was pretty obvious that it was intended, in the previous levels you could see those large vertical pipes in the background, and in the end you go through them. Maybe the custom object flashing makes it look like a bug.

I don't know why that happens, some times shifts don't trigger on a fall. Is there something I can do about it?
Also some of the shifts will make Juni stop and start falling again (you can hear the sound of a step) and some of them just make her keep falling non-stop. Not sure if there is a way to fix any of these issues.

What kind of shift animation do you use? Even if you set the shift as hidden, there's a shift animation played for the mask. If you set the start one, that can explain this behavor. Try another one, the bigger the better. Also you might want to try center the player in the middle, just to be sure.
