A different kind of fizzler that changes color and toggles its output every time the player goes through it

• Visual overhaul: Virtual maps now have black outlines around platforms for easier depth perception, fixed turret deaths, fixed triggers for falling objects, and a newer, but still incomplete, experimental intro map. Real world test chambers are also now in the game with a 60's futuristic art style.
