This one is unfortunately annoying because it focuses on skill instead of intelligence.....I figured out the room in a few minutes but the cube keeps falling off the moving platform , lmao. Still a great experience nonetheless:steamthumbsup:

This one was genuinely pleasant. Great work!

The timing after the final move is a nice touch... The player arrives at the exit just as the cube floats in. Nice!

Wonderfull! I am proud about myself when I solve a Mevious puzzle, but how about creating such puzzles? Great work Mevious! Like the others, Barrier is a nice one.

I try so many times to stop the sliding platform in the correct position . your map always good.

Awesome puzzle. When I got stumped, I just started playing around with the cube, trying to get it to the ledge but missing by just so much. How much? By the width of the moving platform . Then it clicked, although it sounded more like "aha" than a click. Much fun, more than enough to overlook the cube falling off the moving platform the first time.

Nice puzzle! Took a moment to realize that the cube would need to make the same trip I did.
vallibus 14 Oct, 2020 @ 12:39pm 
I just did, and like all of Mevious's maps it was a great challenge.

Who's playing this in 2020? :p2blue::p2chell::p2cube::p2orange:

Still a great puzzle.

Great! I had the idea since the start, just had to smooth it out :D

Mevious, you are brilliant. Love playing your chambers.
Tidus 15 Sep, 2019 @ 7:19pm 
You are simple the best!
Tidus 15 Sep, 2019 @ 7:19pm 
Very nice!

Mevious puzzle are always so great. You get stuck, but experience has taught that with patience the solution is made clear by studying the judicious use of portable surfaces. Time spent thinking "what could that be used for" is very productive. The only technical issue was that the cube would keep falling off the platform when I would drop it from the funnel. So, eventually I noclipped it there and then finished the solution.

Wow. Such a great one!

Once you get this you will feel stupid you didn't get it sooner! The sign of an elegant puzzle!
Mikeastro 28 Jan, 2019 @ 2:13pm 
Excellent puzzle; very elegant. Big thumbs up :]
tapmage 25 Jan, 2019 @ 11:16pm 
I played around 30 minutes a day for multiple days. Today I solved it in 5 min after I tried visualizing.
ShaggieIII 25 Jan, 2019 @ 5:08pm 
Yes. What Synovus said.
HermanitoII 22 Jan, 2019 @ 1:11pm 
Second time I completed this chamber, after a year or more... and again a challenge after forgetting the steps. Thanks for this superb work!!

Amazing
Jeff Albertson 28 Jul, 2018 @ 1:47pm 
alot simpler then i originally thought. tried alot of unnesseary moves just to get the cube to places it never had to be

Thanks everyone for the comments and for continuing to play my levels. :)
hfmanson 20 Mar, 2018 @ 1:19pm 
Nice, as usual
bullfrog 15 Sep, 2017 @ 1:56am 
Brilliant puzzle. Quite simple really, but only once you have figured it out. Thumbs up and another one of your maps added to my favourites.
Fumbly Bumbly 17 Jun, 2017 @ 6:45am 
Another excellent puzzle. Really cool mechanics. Thumbs up and added to my favourites!
jandlml 19 May, 2017 @ 10:55pm 
took some thought but got it eventually. great map!
Calwin 13 May, 2017 @ 6:29pm 
Amazing puzzle, I struggeld for a while, but finally figured it out. This is what I love about portal 2: solving puzzles, that's what's is all about!
Synovus 11 May, 2017 @ 7:01am 
It's one thing to make a clean chamber where every element is clearly distinguished without excess complexity and needless portalable surfaces. It is another thing entirely to consistently deliver chambers where the elements interact interdependently in ways that are so simple and elegant, yet require a high level of creative problem solving. Thanks for providing yet another experience that leaves me calling myself retarded for half an hour until it finally clicks and provides incredible satisfaction
HermanitoII 17 Dec, 2016 @ 6:14am 
GFJ! It helps a lot thinking backwards in the solution. After failing in Amigo solving this one was a relief
PixelPerfect 24 Sep, 2016 @ 4:18am 
Really good puzzle! Thumbs up and Favorited.
zigzagtenniscoe 30 Aug, 2016 @ 9:02pm 
Very nice map! Mildly difficult, did take me some time. At one point at the end I was wondering how I was going to do the next step if I couldn't shoot a portal from near the beginning area to get the funnel, but I realized I actually could because of that panel... nice. Got me there. Fun and clever. Continue the good work!
Special Agent Dale Cooper 11 Jun, 2016 @ 10:35am 
Excellent map of medium difficulty. Without the description of the mapping competition it would have been much harder! Thank you :)
Petutski 10 Jun, 2016 @ 9:00am 
You know an excellent map when you play it a second time and it is still great fun! Thanks!

b...b...b...brain malfunction

I played this right after I woke up, and have a hard time concentrating on the game while also coming up with witty banter for my vast video viewing audience, so those are my excuses why it took me over an hour to complete this test chamber. Great work, Mevious.

Hohooo, hard one! But great. After one hour I had to turn off Portal, because I was tottaly lost and depressed:D And I tried to visualise in my head, how it could work backwards - from final position to starting position of the puzzle. Suprisingly it helped and after minute I had the solution in my hand. The other hand gave me nice facepalm. Good job, Mevious!! :)
Ken 26 Dec, 2015 @ 7:29pm 
are you fucking mensa or what
N Twirl 18 Dec, 2015 @ 2:20pm 
This one was great (hardest I have played so far from Mevious)
Pamsy 23 Nov, 2015 @ 5:44pm 
Beautifully baffling. It's impossile, right? Except there's more than one way to get back up to the upper level. In the end game: you use both buttons to move the cube.
tu7650x 15 Nov, 2015 @ 6:20pm 
I solved this puzzle about 6 months ago and liked it so much that I added it to my subscribed list like all of Mevious' puzzles.

When I start Quickplay to play new (top rated) maps, it takes forever for the server to load the quickplay list (since it fails several times before finally loading it). That silly bug was never fixed. So in the mean time, I play my subbed maps while the server "warms up"...

So anyway, this map is so well designed that I had a hard time solving it the 2nd time around ( I had forgotten how I solved it 6 months ago... I played so many since then).That's how awesome Mevious's puzzles are.
captainj 18 Aug, 2015 @ 9:04pm 
Once again a wonderful challenge from Mevious. Like most Mevious chambers, if you are completely baffled and saying this is impossible, go do something else, run through it a couple times in your head and see what happens!! It's like a magic trick where it's only an illusion that the puzzle is difficult. Mevious puzzles always have a very simple solution, it's only finding it that's the hard part. Persistence pays off with a feeling of accomplishment. The best Portal has to offer is here! How does he do it??? More like this please....
Doofi 13 Jul, 2015 @ 5:08am 
I cant believe it, I made it !!!! :)))) wooooooh
Shepard 5 May, 2015 @ 6:25am 
Another great chamber by Mevious! Took me quite a bit (~1 hour), but finally realized the logic tricks necessary.

I am always a fan of your naming conventions - they are as devious as the chambers! "Barrier" refers to so many different aspects of this particular chamber, and perhaps to the mental barrier one has to hurdle in order to get that darned cube to the other side.

Great work.

This was quite complicated. Great work!
