Two lost blindruns in a row? Really self? 😔
Nice Azorae-like laser-and-fizzler puzzle. Not too hard having played several puzzles of this type, but still requires you to think. Mind you, walking in the same lane as a laser over a light bridge over goo is kind of cringe, and I did almost die, soooo

EDIT FROM FUTURE ME: turns out the bridge isn’t even necessary! Looking through the comments only one other person was able to solve without the bridge and most solved without the ceiling surface. Here’s my new solution without using either.

Difficulty: 3.75/10
Enjoyed: 7.5/10

Very cool map

challenging and interesting. and there seems to be one unnecessary white floor on the ceiling, for decoration or misleading? hah

This does in fact seem like an advanced version of sectors; very nice progression of moves

Very nice

Fun little laser map. Thumbs up.

Cute little room. Reminds me "Minily" a bit (though I see your map was made earlier).

Thanks for the chamber.

Excellent puzzle. Amazing work, especially as it was made 5 years ago!

A very good laser puzzle! Thumbs up and favorited. :p2blue:

I don't remember, but it's probably to prevent getting stuck somewhere, but where, I don't know.

Same as Almisuifre, I don't understand the purpose of the ceiling surface.
Almisuifre 8 ian. 2015 la 8:35 
I didn't use and even get why there's a ceiling panel, but my solution was clean and satisfying : nice work.
wildgoosespeeder 30 dec. 2014 la 14:43 
Never used the ceiling portal surface. Laser fizzler puzzles are not my favorite kind of puzzle but this was OK.
dire.fcs 24 nov. 2014 la 11:43 
Great work again!
多崎つくる 25 sept. 2013 la 20:04 
What is the intended solution..? I didn't need to use the ceiling panel, and some people say they didn't need to use the light bridge (which I had to use).
Enigmatic 6 mart. 2013 la 3:13 
i didn't use the bridge for solved your map. But good map
AgentFire 2 mart. 2013 la 13:52 
EAsy one.

Great map! But I dont like that you wrote "simple" in the descriptions, cus that makes me a dumb dumb. Cus this was a challenge for me! Only managed to solve it after I played sector which was much easier.
harbin9er 24 dec. 2012 la 19:27 
Not sure if the way I solved it was intended - I also didn't use the ceiling surface.
Basically I exploited the fact that that the surface across the laser above the goo pond was two wide, and the surface at the exit was also two wide. I lined up the optical cube to hit the laser receptor at the cube's spawn room but only when the laser is coming through on one side of the two-wide surface...
Vice 24 dec. 2012 la 12:15 
Solved it cleanly, but I don't think I did it your intended way. Didnt use bridge or ceiling surface.
1980 21 dec. 2012 la 16:10 
Very logical and great map, anyway :D
tuyuqas 21 dec. 2012 la 6:04 
I simply meant that Sectors had already prepared me to such kind of test chambers and their difficulties. However, both Sectors and Ameliorate are genius masterpieces, and, in my opinion, could replace any of the Valve's initially created test chambers.
So, I hope, no more misunderstanding and offending. :D
tuyuqas 21 dec. 2012 la 5:58 
Yes, I know. The result of two geniuses' collaboration :D. Don't get offended.
Gigo  [autor] 21 dec. 2012 la 4:54 
Sectors is half mine aswell :(
tuyuqas 21 dec. 2012 la 0:53 
Absolutely brilliant chamber! Having already experienced Azorae's Sectors, I had less difficulties in putting a way through this one (though it had new elements in it). And yet, I agree with Cyhborg, EXTREME portal and positioning accuracy is needed. The last part with shooting the laser at a weird angle took me 6-7 attempts to accomplish. Anyways, magnificent job.

P.S. Sorry for intervening your grammar debate, guys. There's also an orthographic error in the description. The word "resemble" has one "s" in it, not two. :)
Akiva 20 dec. 2012 la 18:23 
Not "Azorae's and my"? 'Cause it ressembles Azorae's puzzle, and it ressembles my puzzle (from your POV), so it ressembles Azorae's and my puzzle (from your POV).
Gigo  [autor] 18 dec. 2012 la 14:00 
I'm not sure that someone who can't spell grammar would be any good at it tbh. :D
The Sojourner 18 dec. 2012 la 9:56 
Of course. Now we have it all figured out. Back to testing/test making for us.
Gigo  [autor] 18 dec. 2012 la 8:55 
@Inspirata That can't be right, if it were anything, it would "Mine and Azorae's"
Gigo  [autor] 18 dec. 2012 la 8:51 
Note: When I said it belongs to "Azorae and I", I meant "Azorae and I own it." Whoops
The Sojourner 18 dec. 2012 la 0:50 
It's "my and Azorae's," Mr. Grammar.
Gigo  [autor] 16 dec. 2012 la 8:32 
However, it belongs to "Azorae and I" thus "Azorae and I's"
cyhborg 16 dec. 2012 la 7:40 
Neat puzzle. After a while, I knew what I had to do, but the execution was a bit frustrating,

I believe Azorae is right: "my puzzle", thus "my and Azorae's puzzle"
The Sojourner 11 dec. 2012 la 23:08 
You really can't resist the grating-covered goo, can you?

This test chamber actually reminded me of another one of your more recent puzzles.
Gigo  [autor] 8 dec. 2012 la 3:42 
I think it's either, but grammar really needs to make its mind up.
Azorae 7 dec. 2012 la 20:31 
I think it's "my and Azorae's"

First person plural possessives are weird
