It took me a while before I figured out how I could obtain the FrankenCube (luckily I made a quicksave at the right time). Everything else went quite smooth. Excellent puzzle!

Holy guacamole! This map was a challenge. A couple of the puzzle elements threw me off for a while and I went off on a wild goose chase. But when I finally realized why that portable surface was positioned directly under the laser , it was fairly straight forward from then on. Great challenge.

Thank you for sharing this mind-bending puzzle!

Sehr gut, ich hab lang versucht in der ersten Kammer weiter zu kommen, ging aber nicht ohne dein Video, den Rest habe ich mir dann aber erspielt.
Ein schön durchdachtes Puzzle.

I have some others of yours still lined up in my que. You've obviously put time into making them so I'll give them a go.

You just somehow choose the puzzles with skill involved :P
I actually do have quite some logical puzzles without any need for fast portalling, jumping or what so ever :)
I'll make a collection of them this weekend...

Again too execution dependent (lightbridge, tractor, franken cube, etc). Finishing each step was less than gratifying (or fun) and simply a relief.

Nicely done, but was annoyed with the cube on the light bridge keeping the laser blocked and also trying to redirect it. Light bridges are notorious for freezing reflector cubes in place. That was my only real critique of the puzzle. Thumbs up.

I call that glitch abuse. Normally doesn't work in my book. You're lucky that I found an alternate non glitchy way. :)
nintendo.erk  [author] 19 Feb, 2014 @ 2:02pm 
I know it looks like it doesn't work but it does, when the cube presses the button it cramps and keeps it pressed for some reason :)

I tried to place the f.cube in the funnel to test it, but the funnel moved the f.cube and made it fixed, so it looked like that was not possible because the funnel was in the way.

Thanks for the playthrough,
if you move the lasercube sideways next to the bridge but in the laser it will flip easier, nice way of pressing the 2nd button in the frankencube room, the frankencube can also walk and press buttons as wheatley showed us once... :P

Nice map, a bit on the hard side I think. I had lots of trouble getting things done properly aligning the laser. Also that jump to press the pedastal button for the frankencube, I really didn't like it. And in that second room to press the button, it felt really glitchy.

Here's my blind-run: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAWHnoJCsKk

Cool map ;D

Nice gameplay. Good looking chambers and a good puzzle. The round again threw me at first. I had to stop and try to remember where I was and where I wanted to go. Then the pieces started falling together. I liked the light bridge thing. I also liked seeing front to back and back to front as you go along. Thank you. Well done.

I think you're doing things unintended because the franken cube is meant to walk and there is no need for a lot of jumping, just some momentum moments :)
piotr_mil 7 Feb, 2014 @ 9:26am 
a bit too complicated and tedious, as it invoilves very unnatural movement of the frankencube. Also, lots of jumping.

that was awesome! laser cube on a bridge - one of my faforite mechanics, plus momentum - amazing! the franken cube room was a bit ridiculous really, but kinda fun. solved it in about 15-20 minutes.

Very nice aesthetics and feel to it. Nothing I haven't seen before, but I like the way everything is incorporated and the style in which you put it together. For some reason I was surprised when I ended up in a circle and then remembered where the exit was (which is not the most obvious). Anyway, Great job as usual and a thumbs up from me.

Thanks! It's my personal favorite so far, I love to see the cube being caught by the funnel when it walks of the edge
hirschi.domas 6 Feb, 2014 @ 1:04pm 
nice one! The walking franken cube's use is cool; but the deactivation of the second fizzler was a bit tedious, though.
Overall well done ;)
nintendo.erk  [author] 5 Feb, 2014 @ 5:53am 
the laser deactivates the bridge... it needs to be blocked, momentum is required to do so.
a video walkthrough will be available soon :)

Sorry, could not figure out where to go once I had the reflector cube.
nintendo.erk  [author] 3 Feb, 2014 @ 11:49am 
Thanks, it's because of the help you and Prototype offer me I'm able to make this kind of maps :)
Innocentive 3 Feb, 2014 @ 11:38am 
Good map! Redirecting the laser without the Frankencube could have been a bit easier but apart from that there are some great puzzles in this map. Well done!

@ Unknown : thanks a lot :) The competition has just started, voting starts in 2 weeks or so.
@ Dreamer : thanks a lot for your demo, it's great feedback :) You did the frankencube room kinda harder then intended. The intended solution involves use of the movement of the cube with his legs...

One of your best puzzles!. Amazing!.

thanks for creating

Very clever and good puzzle. However it is pretty hard and requires some quick action. Definately recomended if you really can think with portals. Btw, how did this cope in the competition? :)
