Hint for the first puzzle:
You can use the height of the room with the high energy pellet catcher to conserve your velocity.

Observation for the last puzzle:
Did you notice that while staying on the platform with the dripping gel you can portal above the light bridge?

Good one.

Wow, gorgeous Hammer work and simply built but ingenious puzzles here. Even the first one is cool - it’s a good one to teach players the importance of trial and error, perspective, and that things that seem to only have one use at first often have secondary, vital uses. Love how each puzzle is more difficult than the last - I really liked the intermediate area and how it fooled you into thinking it was something to fly through and forget about before you inevitably led us to that banger that any sane person would have accompany them for as long as possible. Did the silliest little fumble, having totally forgotten that one pipe led to the original floor portal surface from a higher angle for a reason…

And then, the final chamber, a great test of the player’s portal-management and observation skills. The main issue for me was noticing the ceiling portal surface above the bridge , the key to moving on. Everything fell into place more or less pretty smoothly after that as I had already looked around and had formed a very vague idea of what I needed to do - which I built upon correctly while actually executing. (To be honest, puzzles which take advantage of “sneak” surfaces like that don’t please me quite as much as ones where everything is clear and the only thing in between you and the door is your brain, but that’s relatively minor so long as the surface in question is easily reachable from where it needs to be reached - and this one was.)

Nevertheless, favorited.

Very nice, not too difficult, but you have to think or try a bit

Solved, I missed the ceiling surface, that's why I couldn't figure out until this revisit.

@ben77 someone copied your map without giving credits: Enigma Protocol | Chapter 3 (room 3).

It's so strange when you solve puzzles without entirely knowing how, just feeling your gut and trying things out. You achieve things you didn't know where possible. A lot of times playing workshop puzzles I think it's impossible to connect two areas with portals because they are so far apart, but there's always some clever portal combo that does the trick. Like here.

Nice portal management, especially in the last room.

Very, very nice.

Great as always from BEN 77. :steamhappy:

BTW, I was glad to find out the title didn't refer to the gel .
Spider_Dawg 31 May, 2020 @ 9:38am 
Fun, clever, beautiful, very well done. I, too, enjoyed seeing the pellet/bridge combo . Knew it needed to be done, was fun watching it happen.

This looks awesome, and the attention to detail is amazing. The radio playing, the grafitti on the walls, and the broken tiles struggling on the ceiling.

Great puzzle. Each section had it's own trick. Thanks for creating.

Awesome map...I love the dilapidated theme! I really like that the tests seem more like you are working through the facility instead of just a test room and cool to see an energy ball again. Only thing was I wanted to be able to take the radio with me and have a song playing while I figured out the final test.

I hate those pellet machines, but I loved this map. None of the annoying aspects of them were in this map, very enjoyable map.

I played a couple of your chambers a few years ago, I recently remembered that in the beginning when I started to play, I came across some great chambers, I found you and added more of your chambers! )) You're handsome! Know that we appreciate what you are doing, it's really nice to play!

:cozyfallout4::cozyfallout4:Great map with excellent puzzles! Score 10/10 and to favorites! Thank you:))) :steamhappy::steamhappy:

Very nice map and the last room was clever. Too bad the energy ball is not packed (missing texture).
IridiumWave 12 Aug, 2018 @ 12:29pm 
That took me ages to figure out. Very, very clever.
hfmanson 27 Jun, 2018 @ 1:40am 
The 2nd level is a beauty
Konke 2 Jun, 2018 @ 8:15am 
Clever, well done.
SkyGlass 12 Mar, 2018 @ 12:06am 
Wow, that's great logic, thanks
Mikeastro 1 Jan, 2018 @ 4:16pm 
I know I'm a little late to the game but... very nice map! Though I'm wondering something... what's the name of the song? :D
Benzolamps 28 Aug, 2017 @ 10:00pm 
Cool!
Nader 16 Jun, 2017 @ 4:54pm 
Took me 20sh min for the whole map, 3rd chamber was very well designed
gerversluis 8 Feb, 2017 @ 7:36am 
Great map as usual!
bullfrog 13 Jan, 2017 @ 2:44am 
Great map. Took me longer than it should have because I forgot to look up at one point... time for a break.
lfairban 29 Oct, 2016 @ 10:58am 
Great logic map.
WK2Trailhawk 11 Feb, 2016 @ 11:35pm 
Found a Geocache so I signed the log and took a trackable. TFTC. Kidding aside, that was another great map.

great work again
Petutski 15 Jun, 2015 @ 12:17pm 
Excellent map with several tricky steps! Thnaks!
CoachHines 14 May, 2015 @ 4:10pm 
nice work again.
williampilgrim 16 Feb, 2015 @ 5:24pm 
Damn, damn that's a fine map.
KAKTUS ‡SvK‡ 3 Feb, 2015 @ 6:47am 
excellent maps
dire.fcs 25 Jan, 2015 @ 4:36am 
Excellent work; the last room is very good.
Tyr Anasazi 10 Jan, 2015 @ 8:11am 
very nice map, the last room (3?) was a real mindbender, took quite a while to figure that one out.
wildgoosespeeder 26 Dec, 2014 @ 1:00am 
...and Valve thought the laser replaced the energy ball. As if! The removal of the energy ball just limited our creativity until we decided to bring it back ourselves. Very good chamber! First good chamber that combines Portal 1 test elements (energy ball) and Portal 2 test elements (light bridge). Too bad this doesn't get a +1 for BEEMOD. Hammer wins.
ZAEROS 17 Oct, 2014 @ 1:15am 
Room 3 has taken me ages to complete! so obvious once I got there but Wow. Really good fun, Thank you.
racknae 12 Oct, 2014 @ 11:33am 
Another really fantastically crafted test. Not too difficult, but it still definitely had me thinking for a little bit.
Arkada 2 Oct, 2014 @ 4:40am 
Отлично! Еще.
kimist108 26 Sep, 2014 @ 5:50pm 
Oh, that was so much fun. Not only figuring out what to do, but also the sight-seeing.
KyloX 21 Sep, 2014 @ 11:02pm 
Great work. The first part camed naturally on what you have to do, but the second part, that gaved quite a lot of though on my side. The map looks beautiful with some of the small detials and the made-up enviroment.

Once again, nicely done.

One of the best maps I've seen in a very long time. Thank you.
The Sojourner 20 Sep, 2014 @ 1:05am 
First time I've seen a decayed-themed test from you. Nice use of the hard light bridge in the second test.
Kinda felt short and easy compared to your other works, but good efforts nonetheless :p2cube:
NeKz 19 Sep, 2014 @ 6:03pm 
Really nice puzzle.
Jade BGE 19 Sep, 2014 @ 12:15pm 
Lots of fun. Thanks a lot!
