This one got me. Such a hidden in plain sight solution. Thumbs up :steamthumbsup:

cool. Solution is easy and briliant
Andy T 1 Oct, 2023 @ 7:53pm 
I overthunk it and gone other way thinking about it for way too long. Once you saw what works, restart and reconstruct the solve is easy.

Tricky. Thanks for creating!

Very nice, and quite the challenge.

Amazing set of comments and possible solutions! The actual intended solution is quite simple. Thanks for your work!

Was stumped, but kept reading that it was all about cube and portal placements and that important areas were visually highlighted. Perhaps that is too much of a hint as it is, but even so, the ah-ha moment felt satisfying.

Wow, I actually didn't recognize this. I'd already solved Version 2.0, so I'm sure I'd have gotten this one also if I hadn't stumbled on the exploit.
Spider_Dawg 13 Apr, 2019 @ 2:56pm 
I solved it the same way RectorRocks did, just didn't see the intended solution before coming up with the same idea he used. I like the "real" solution better, but sometimes just trying stuff works too.

This one was quite easy and I solved it within 5 mins. I think instead of having the panel by the exit, you could replace the top of the glass as a grate so you can portal the tractor beam up there. But it is a great chamber anyway.

@Tronsnake Thank you! Be sure to check out the remake, as well :)
Hikari 21 Jan, 2018 @ 8:36pm 
Love the challenge! This is probably one of your best ones yet.
Demon Arisen  [author] 12 Nov, 2017 @ 9:39am 
@Ifairban Congratulations! Really glad you liked it, this is a tricky one. Be sure to try out the remake, too!
lfairban 12 Nov, 2017 @ 8:58am 
Been working on this for months, opened it up this morning and solved it in like 2 min.

NICE

@qrioso Thanks! Please please please don't read comments first, they'll only spoil it for you.
qrioso 13 Apr, 2017 @ 11:03pm 
That's a pure logic puzzle. Brilliant. Reading first all the comments i imagined a hard logic one but this time i figured it out in 10 minutes. May be it's my day. Thanks for mapping.
Demon Arisen  [author] 20 Mar, 2017 @ 12:01pm 
@hestia.is.bestia Thanks very much! :) Yeah I'm very proud of this one, one of my best I think.
hestia.is.bestia 20 Mar, 2017 @ 11:05am 
This one was really tricky. It looks so easy at first but its easy to get stuck if you don't think ahead.
Rector 20 Mar, 2017 @ 9:01am 
Nice one! Small but relatively challenging.

@Jude_H1 In that case, I think you've just found your new favourite test designer ;) Those are the best kind of tests, which is why I make them! :p2chell::p2cube::p2blue::p2orange::p2aperture::p2wheatley:

Fantastic puzzle. I love challenging levels in smaller rooms where you can see how to get to the exit, you have all the materials you need to get to the exit, and the only hard part is figuring how they all come together. Have to say though, I probably wouldn't have been able to solve it without that clue with the lights as to where to put a portal. Also liked how, if you messed up the final section, the cube would be dropped in a place where it was easy to just try again.

@mockscitney I sent you a steam message (not sure if you got it) and after watching the stream there's no need to replay it since your solution was pretty much correct - I sent you a link to ViiNTAGE's video of it, in which he solves it the right way.
nock 8 Feb, 2017 @ 5:03am 
Replay!?!?!?! have you seen the size of your collection which i'm trying to get rid of right now =P
Demon Arisen  [author] 7 Feb, 2017 @ 11:39am 
@nockscitney Thank you! That's not the intended solution I'm afraid (replay, replay!) but I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D Sorry I wasn't around for the stream, I was busy, but I'll be sure to catch up on it!
nock 7 Feb, 2017 @ 6:13am 
This one was quite clever (assuming I did it right) from the funnel side, quick portal under cube and then back on the funnel to catch it before it drops . Played 2 of yours on stream today after I finished 2 from Flooper, so will pick them up again tomorrow / thursday :)
Demon Arisen  [author] 30 Jan, 2017 @ 3:14pm 
@gerversluis Thank you! :D I'd like to remake this one at some point.
gerversluis 30 Jan, 2017 @ 2:19pm 
Struggled for hours with this one. And the solution is so simple. Brilliant puzzle!
Demon Arisen  [author] 27 Jan, 2017 @ 4:43pm 
@renktro Thank you! :D Glad you liked it.
renktro 27 Jan, 2017 @ 4:30pm 
Couldn't solve this one. Thanks for making me feel stupid. XD. Your maps are beyond logic, they request a little bit of ''outside of the box thinking''. Very well done by the way.
bullfrog 22 Dec, 2016 @ 12:42am 
Brilliant logical puzzle. With hindsight, quite simple, unfortunately my hindsight isn’t working that well today and it took me quite a long time to figure it out. Thank you.
jandlml 16 Sep, 2016 @ 9:31pm 
good one,took a little bit of thinking

Solid test!
dire.fcs 3 Nov, 2014 @ 4:38pm 
Great one! simple and elegant!
Zavinious Akkol 5 Oct, 2014 @ 11:01am 
Nice puzzle! Thank you :)

I liked the solution video posted below.. I must admit I probably used a less desirable solution, whereby I grabbed both cubes and sat one on the funnel switch. I then opened a portal directly opposite the glass that separates you from the 'exit area' so that the funnel's intersected at right angles, then rode the funnel and jumped onto the exit area (it's a tricky, slow pushy type of jump :P).. then I had a cube on the exit area and did the same as the video.
Demon Arisen  [author] 30 Sep, 2014 @ 12:06am 
@jrd.vt Hmm, interesting! The fizzler tunnel is just an escape route because it's possible to get trapped in the small room....
Chelliste 29 Sep, 2014 @ 3:51pm 
Funny thing is, I solved it, then tried it with the author's hint below and it took twice as long with extra steps. It's just a matter of having the portals and one cube placed properly BEFORE turning on the funnel. The fizzler tunnel between the rooms isn't used at all.
Demon Arisen  [author] 18 Aug, 2014 @ 6:33am 
@h99pilot It's an absolute pleasure, I love designing chambers. The only thing better than making something is knowing that people enjoy what you make! :D Thanks for being such a loyal and dedicated fan! :-)
h99pilot 18 Aug, 2014 @ 6:02am 
Another nice puzzle. Thar's why you are one of my subscribed authors. Thank you for your time to give us such fun.
Demon Arisen  [author] 15 Aug, 2014 @ 2:25pm 
Also @jgauntley Flinging the cube at the end isn't necessary: You can simply funnel the cube into the funnel emitter and then place a portal on the angled panel and at the end of the funnel. :)
Demon Arisen  [author] 15 Aug, 2014 @ 2:21pm 
@jgauntley @TS_Mind_Swept Thanks very much! :D Glad you managed to solve it. I like tests which are deceptively simple... :)
TS_Mind_Swept 15 Aug, 2014 @ 2:10pm 
just watched jgaultney's walkthrough, it's a lot simpler than it looks and that's where we get tripped up, we should just remember, "Don't even try". :p
jgaultney 15 Aug, 2014 @ 1:11pm 
A very entertaining puzzle. A solution that only seems easy after you figure it out :)
A definite thumbs up !!

Demon Arisen  [author] 15 Aug, 2014 @ 12:54pm 
@TS_Mind_Swept I don't have the software for making good recordings I'm afraid. This is a tricky test, just keep trying and you'll get it. I'll give you a clue: Try turning off the funnel
TS_Mind_Swept 12 Aug, 2014 @ 2:54pm 
I guess I'm dumm too, cause the solution continues to ilude me. >.> even think of uploading a walkthough video?
Demon Arisen  [author] 9 Aug, 2014 @ 6:41am 
@Dr. Worm I'm sure you aren't stupid, it's just a tricky puzzle which subverts your expectations... :) Try coming back to it at some point - maybe you'll see the solution straight away. :D

@Dasgovernator Thanks very much, that's what I was aiming for! :D
Dasgovernator 9 Aug, 2014 @ 12:16am 
That was a good puzzle. It was simple but difficult, and required some lateral thinking to solve.
Dr. Worm 8 Aug, 2014 @ 9:54pm 
I spent maybe 15 minutes on it and gave up. I guess I'm just stupid.
