Gels: Difference between revisions

== Gels ==

=== Repulsion Gel ===

{{main|Repulsion Gel}}

This gel is a light blue substance that provides repelling abilities. Any objects like the [[Storage Cube]]s and [[Turrets]] that hits a surface coated with the Repulsion Gel, will either bounce away from the gel splat or bounce erratically on its own upon being coated with it. Due to the effect, the height from which a test subject falls before landing on a gel-covered surface affects the height of a jump. Test subjects can also use the Gel to move back and forth between two parallel surface rather than merely be propelled up and down.

=== Propulsion Gel ===

{{main|Propulsion Gel}}

The Propulsion Gel is a light orange substance that greatly increases object velocity and reduces the friction of objects moving on the surface(s) it is applied to. Any objects covered in this gel have their friction reduced, causing them to slide around across the floor easily.

=== Conversion Gel ===

{{main|Conversion Gel}}

A portal-conducting white substance {{spoiler text|made from ground moon rocks}}. It enables test subjects to fire [[portals]] onto [[surfaces]] previously incapable of conducting portals.

=== Cleansing Gel ===

This gel may appear to be regular water with an ability to wash away other types of gels off of surfaces and any objects that have been coated. It has no special properties in regard of the gameplay, and as such, does not affect any surfaces other than ones covered in other gels.

=== Slime ===

'''Slime''' or '''Sewage''' was found only in ''[[Portal]]'' during [[Chell]]'s escape, and is not often considered a gel due to the fact it has no emitter, is not used to solve chambers, and Chell cannot "paint" with it like with the official gels introduced in ''Portal 2''. Regardless, it does have some properties similar to some gels in ''Portal 2'', such as the slippery effect of running on Propulsion Gel and an adhesion effect that keeps Chell somewhat stuck on the surface.
