Its not an issue of the room or the number of mechanics being too complex, honestly this only needs one improvement to make it really excellent if you were trying to improve on the original. You should have put some kind of feature on the walls where you need to place portals

Quite a Puzzel I almost figurred everything out except for the fact that I could go into the funnel to help me 10/10 help me wrinked my brain.

A very deceptively tricky puzzle which uses minimal elements. Had me stumped for a good hour before the coin finally dropped. Nice work!

The game does auto-adjust the lighting, but when you enter the level... yeah, that was a flashbang of a room! :D

Ended up cheesing part of it by a portal set just near the fizzler sideways. Funneling up from there, I could shoot the portal to re-position the cube on the button, then hold S for a little to land on the top ledge without the intended "do it from the funnel itself" angle. Looked at the video to see what the intended solution was and I didn't cheese that much of it, but still.

Had me going around in circles absolutely! Clever level.

neat!

Uhm...it IS pretty bright, at no time it is too dim. Tbh I thought this was part of the concept of a "white room" ;-)

@RedstonePatradox, I'll take "the lighting is a bit bright" over "sufficiently lit" any day. Thank you! To be honest, the last time I saw this chamber it seemed to be a bit too dim. So maybe we have very different graphics settings and I tried to overcompensate the lighting.

The lighting is a bit bright, though.

Really elegant solution.

Even tho this is really small and there is one funnel and 2 buttons, this was so advanced and clever. I thought of every solution that wouldn't work and then thought of the one that would. Fantastic.

Still a great puzzle. @toncica, over two years ago you asked: "to be honest I don't quite understand the enthusiasm of an experienced player for this very simple puzzle. Are you sure you didn't do something more clever than the intended solution? ;)" - no, it just took me a long time to see the obvious - I was a bit quicker this time ;)

Very clever with only very few elements. Big thumps up :)

My play through. Very nice design! https://youtu.be/WRYHJ1fZBH4

Super thumb up from me! This map is seriously insane.

my video - https://youtu.be/sxUkDq9J1V8 and please dont laugh

OMG. u stummped me with simple logic. hants off . favorite

@bullfrog, thanks for playing. But to be honest I don't quite understand the enthusiasm of an experienced player for this very simple puzzle. Are you sure you didn't do something more clever than the intended solution? ;)

... and following

Brilliant puzzle. I tried all sorts of things before stumbling on (what I assume is) the intended, very elegant solution. Thumbs up, added to favourites and 'White Room’ , not so simple edition, now in my queue.

This one I can solve, other one: still don't know.

all right i finished.for me thats an accomplishment.maybe i can try the harder ones.we will see

Finally. It took me a few trips to see the solution - assuming I did it right. Thank you for your work.

Yea it was just fooling around. Dont worry about it. As u said, if this happens, a restart wont lose much time in the puzzle.

Did you notice the title of the chamber? The idea is to not have a single black tile in it. ;)
I could make it that you can't portal there, the question is if it's really necessary. With such a short puzzle you don't lose any progress by restarting the map if this thing would happen accidentally.

I was deliberatedly trying to do that. Kind of a rage quit moment after i failed realizing how to solve it
To fix it its simple: Just unportal the floor tile which is facing the dropper, assuming it wont damage the solving process.

I know about this issue, but didn't think it would be an issue on this map. Did it happen to you by accident here or were you just experimenting what could go wrong? I'd rather not edit the map if it's unlikely to happen to anyone, unless there was a valid reason somebody would put the funnel under the dropper.

I havent finished the puzzle yet but i've found a way to break it. Not in term of solving it in a different way, but to make it unsolvable.
Like any puzzle with a cube dropper and a tractor beam, whenever the beam is aimed directly at the dropper from below, it makes the next-cube-to-be-dropped to fly in that small spawn area inside the dropper, when u force the dropper to drop a cube, it will keep the already-existed cube to float inside the dropper while spawning another cube, thus making 2 cubes inside the dropper. When this happens, its impossible to drop a cube regardless if there is a beam directed at it or not.
A few screenies to show what i mean:

Btw, having a pressure/pedestal button wont fix this.

I finally solved the "main" White Room, and strangely, I prefered this simple edition.
The solution statisfied me much more. I really like this test, well done for making it !

I crossed it, stopped, found fruitless ideas, until a clean and simple solution came. I liked it. A recorded blind run would have been annoying because I didn't move a lot, so I just recorded a demo with my solution, which I'm sure is the intended one (unfortunately ^^) http://d0bgqy.1fichier.com/ (I don't have anything yet to record demos, that's why it's a "dem" file)
Now, let's try the "regular" one :)

Success with the simple, off to the other white room.

I see, in the latest edits I was fixing unintended solutions and portal bumping while not paying attention to the lighting. Map updated, you can take off your sunglasses now. ;)

Lighting tip: remember that white reflects light. That said, we don't need the blinding light of many observation rooms and light strips. The less the better.

if u get it tell me how so if u broke it i can fix it

hey tonica i made a chamber and nobody has solved it yet without braking it so if u want to try it out when u get the time then here is the link im asking the people who are the best at puzzles i can think of and clearly u have serious puzzle skills but it seems nobody can get it though. http://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=173770137

1 throw

1

Updated again. Try to break it once more.

How many throws did that take you?

Tonica I think i broke it
http://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=174292392

try making the surfaces next to the button none portalable with lights

i can still throw the cube at it through a portal and do it with timing to get it on the other side so

I think I found a better way to prevent that unintended solution. Removed the timer again.

I see, thanks for the video. That is not 100 % intended as you have guessed. To avoid uncertainty I tried to prevent your solution. The only way I saw how to fix it without major changes was to limit the time available. I hope the additional button doesn't hurt the puzzle.

this is how i did it http://youtu.be/axz111hMDvc

ok

I'm not sure either if you solved it correctly. With a little more details or a video of your solution we could find out though.

im not sure if i solved it correctly

Horribly, horribly underated map! Good mechanic, which had me stumped for a little while - I have no idea why it should cause such a mental block, but it did. I've done enough maps and found enough alternative solutions and exploits to overcome this with ease, but not so... Nice work. I ran the solution 4-5 times to make sure I understood the process. Maybe certain maps have brainwashed me into missing the solution for so long, I dunno... Now, onto the the 2 other white rooms... Cheers.
