Took me longer than it should have to realize that the light bridge can travel more than two ways . :P

Also yay for actual music!

(Note from future self, having just played Mystical Ava’s Hammerization: Yeah, I know I took the lazy way out in this run by killing the cube . There’s a smarter way to do it.)

Difficulty: 5.25/10
Enjoyed: 8.25/10

@Miami Mike wasted moves, you don't really need the lightbridge to go back from the other side.

Excellent map but I did need to get help for that one lightbridge move. Very close to a ninja move and just didn't occur to me as a result. All in all a good job! :steamthumbsup:

I solved this after struggling for a while, but my solution involved holding the cube above my head and walking backwards through the fizzler while constantly aiming the cube at the laser receiver in order to keep the fizzler off. Based on the other comments here, I think that was not the intended solution. I may need to return to this one later.

Struggled so long with how to get the cube from the bridge room to the button -- so simple once you've done it -- so complicated and frustrating until you see it. Just great. Somehow my solution had the laser flying across the space an additional time compared to the videos others have posted - I must have just performed some sort of loop that brought me back to the same place as the posted videos are pretty much what I did. Again, liked very much. Satisfying once it all falls into place.

This is still one of my most favouritest maps in my list of favourites - an absolute masterpiece :)
Mikeastro 18 Jul, 2020 @ 11:38am 
Replayed this one today. Still a top tier test

I don't know what it was but something just kept me from solving the test. Nearly 3 hours it took me! Probably about 1.1/2 hours on two seperate days. It's clever and all and I'm giving it a thumbs up but...man, it really stopped being fun at one point. I don't know how such a relatively simple-looking chamber could have been so punishing to me.

Wow. Such an amazing map! How do you event do that :)
Bujm 23 Jun, 2019 @ 6:43am 
I'm not hopeless. 3 days passed
portal addict 21 Jun, 2019 @ 7:59am 
This one is top-notch.
Bujm 21 Jun, 2019 @ 2:11am 
Спасибо, комплекс неполноценности мне обеспечен. Игры вроде должны доставлять радость, а не заставлять задуматься, а не идиот ли я?! Я сам делал сложные карты ( ну раньше я думал, что они сложные) а тут я уже 2 дня не могу пройти карту с 1 лазаром и 1 дорожкой. Хотя сегодня я уже смог открыть дверь выхода, так что ещё пара дней и я выйду :)

Kept going around in circles at first, then I tried something that was so obvious that I kicked myself all the way to the exit.

Thank you guys,thanks for mapping!:mimish:

Very very excellent map!I struggled for a few weeks when it was just released,and I replayed the map today then solved it,though I'm not sure.This feeling is the same as solving Juxtapose before.It’s really exciting:steamhappy:

Very nice puzzle guys. I was stuck for a long time trying to work out how to get the cube on the outside of the far end fizzler but it turns out it was simpler than I was trying to make it

I am not smart. I couldn't go through. I gave up. Was too hard for me. Now...everyone who screw up like me...confess
Teo 26 Apr, 2019 @ 1:46pm 
very good, made my brain hurt but very good
Zoraya 17 Apr, 2019 @ 2:43pm 
It looks so simple with its few elements, yet it´s so challenging. Super clever work, thanks a lot that we can enjoy it again and again.
Dark Rozen 13 Apr, 2019 @ 7:12pm 
After 30 mins I saw the solution. Great map.
Rector 13 Apr, 2019 @ 7:28am 
Being afraid to erase your portals can really mess you up. Great use of the ledges though. Nice work!
anpy 9 Apr, 2019 @ 9:12am 
Wow, what a great puzzle. I don't think I've seen so many reuses in such a small space before. I was stuck for so long trying to get the cube up to the exit catcher, before watching a video and realising I could just throw it up there Thumbs up and favorite :)
Narkodes 1 Apr, 2019 @ 2:01pm 
Very clever map! I really enjoyed the journey. Some points of criticism:
- it would be more elegant if the cube does NOT refreshed automatically - it would eliminate some "cheap" solutions.
- the button is too near to the middle room. It would be easy to throw the cube instead. But it was obvious that's not intended - as result it was a bit misleading 'cause I totally forgot about the option to place the cube on the edge

Otherwise a great map, best one in the last couple of weeks :)
Gigo  [author] 30 Mar, 2019 @ 5:25am 
Yeah, I totally agree
quat 29 Mar, 2019 @ 9:40pm 
nice. more ppl need to use ledges
Mikeastro 29 Mar, 2019 @ 4:03pm 
Allow me to repeat myself:
Now that was an outstandingly clever map. One of the best I've played recently. Faved :]
quatrus 29 Mar, 2019 @ 12:08pm 
Almost had it,had to go and look at jgaultney video - saw how to get the cube down from the upper platform - I had it too far back to grab and was trying all sorts of other ways to solve - too easy. Ah well - thanks for creating.
Nobody No-One 28 Mar, 2019 @ 6:38pm 
Really nice puzzle. Great use of extremely minimal connections. I think this has the most reuses out of any small map I've played recently. Thumbs up and faved. (also love the description)
Joric 28 Mar, 2019 @ 4:43pm 
The map is absolutely geinus. I think I haven't seen maps like this in a long, long, LONG time. Difficulty is definitely hard (7-8/10 maybe). It's so convoluted I was unable to repeat the solution without re-solving it again.
Joric 28 Mar, 2019 @ 7:37am 
Great map, as always.
bullfrog 28 Mar, 2019 @ 1:39am 
...anyway; excellent puzzle - thumbs up and added to favourites.
bullfrog 28 Mar, 2019 @ 1:38am 
...just watched @jgaultney's video, who did it slightly differently to me, and read your comment - so perhaps this is the actual intended solution ?
bullfrog 28 Mar, 2019 @ 12:40am 
Excellent puzzle. I see you’ve updated to prevent my previous solution; so how about the following, is that your intended solution ?
jandlml 27 Mar, 2019 @ 6:26pm 
excellent map , i was stuck for awhile trying to over think things. faved!
Gigo  [author] 27 Mar, 2019 @ 5:21pm 
Your solution destroyed the cube instead of leaving it behind the upper fizzler and bringing through the portal but I guess it's pretty much the same; the rest was intended; thanks for the video :)
Jade BGE 27 Mar, 2019 @ 2:51pm 
Sooo Smart. I was twisted up for the last few steps, but I got it! Yay! A favorite. Thank you
jgaultney 27 Mar, 2019 @ 11:17am 
This one took some thought and I'm still not certain the middle part of my solution is entirely
intended. A definite thumbs up!
