Semi-blindrun (at least 4 years since I've played, took a break starting from late 2019)
Ah, another goodie from the less-aesthetic era of Gig's chambers. Doesn't make the puzzle itself any less interesting, though - this might actually be the best from that period.

Difficulty: 3.75/10
Design: 7.5/10
Enjoyed: 7.5/10

holy...... once i finally figured it out, this was easier than expected.... but the pressing issue of the height gap left me stumped for a while.

Easy but clever. Thumbs up.

Maybe I got lucky but I walked straight through - nice map

Surprisingly easy.

Excellent puzzle, looks pretty simple, which it is, but the solution is elegant and not obvious. As an aside; this is the oldest map in your workshop that loads; published 12 May, 2012; even back then, your ability to make something simple, interesting and complex/difficult to solve was obviously there from the beginning – hats off to you.

Thanks for the map. Wasn't too hard (probably got a lil' lucky on my first guess) but fun nonetheless.

cool puzzle. i enjoyed.

You're ability to be complex and simple at the same time is, er... complex and simple..?? I believe the word I am looking for is elegant . Amazing as per usual.
qrioso 11 Jan, 2017 @ 11:18am 
Easy and fun. Thanks

Didn't quite leave me "weeping" as I attempted to solve it. Solved it in a little under 10 minutes, difficulty intermediate on the easyish side. Still a very fun and clever map, and I did get stuck for a minute on something. Still a very nice map, thanks for this. Keep up the good work.

Nice logical manipulate the cube test! Thanks!
wildgoosespeeder 28 Dec, 2014 @ 9:20pm 
Sacrificing cubes is your thing, isn't it Gig? Trust me! I am so used to sacrifice cube tests that I didn't weap once and solved in 10 minutes! Good test!

Thanks for taking it easy on us for a change!

download error...

A bit easier than some of your others, but still a challenge. Thanks!

Nice map, thank you!

Are you being sarcastic in the description? Compared to most of your other test chambers, this was not difficult.
AgentFire 25 Mar, 2013 @ 10:03am 
This was not that hard.
Diego 21 Mar, 2013 @ 6:20pm 
VERY NICE! :D

I needed to come back to this, because I couldn't do it at first, but I'm glad I tried again. Interesting puzzle, I liked it a lot!
Sloi 12 Jan, 2013 @ 2:55pm 
Not difficult, but enjoyable anyway. I'm always pleasantly surprised by your maps...

I hope Valve brings people like you on-board for an advanced maps section of Portal 3.
Innocentive 9 Dec, 2012 @ 2:19am 
And another beautiful puzzle! Also tried that a coupe of times and today ... boom, got it! Favourited...
1980 5 Nov, 2012 @ 3:42am 
Just one word...SPLENDID!!
gaden002 31 Oct, 2012 @ 11:58am 
Fairly easy, compared to some of your other maps, but still clever.
The Sojourner 20 Oct, 2012 @ 2:10pm 
I'm starting in on your series...

You are a master of breaking brains...but not on this test! I figured it out relatively quickly. It's the whole concept of connecting portals (some spoiler, eh?)!! In particular, it's the whole game of take-the-portal-as-far-as-you-can to solve the test.
NiclO (- - ) 12 Oct, 2012 @ 3:53pm 
Thank you, very satisfying. Really frustrating before I realized that I had all the tools to complete it. Great map!
BossSmiley 21 Sep, 2012 @ 6:57pm 
Congrats - really good map!
crazymatt007 20 Aug, 2012 @ 2:29am 
Best of yours that I've played yet.

@astonostosson That is the annoyting thing about PeTI, I want to just simply use the white lables, but I cannot do that :(
Donderbus 2 Aug, 2012 @ 6:16am 
Nice one, thanks.
astonostosson 20 Jun, 2012 @ 2:22pm 
Excellent! And I see you listened to Mevious's suggestion below:)

I love your levels, but I think you could put a little more work into the layout of the button wires, or whatever they are called. You know, the little blue/orange lights? Sometimes their paths are a little bit confusing and it can be frustrating to have to think about what the different buttons do, just because you forgot and it's not obvious from the layout.

But as I said, still a very excellent level!
deadlights 18 Jun, 2012 @ 4:26pm 
Impressive.
Sixsmith 25 May, 2012 @ 12:32pm 
i couldn't do it at all and my friend even tried to make a video to show me. Just as it finished extracting all the files blah blah blah i worked out how to do it! My friend was annoyed to say the least...
ЯΞIИCΛRNΛUT 22 May, 2012 @ 5:13am 
Simply genius! The hardest and the most elegant I've played yet.
[NeW]Yuria 21 May, 2012 @ 10:36am 
Excellent map <3
Voldepreuss 16 May, 2012 @ 8:19am 
@new318 I had the same experience and think this has to be one of the most clever puzzles due to its simplicity and yet difficulty
new318 14 May, 2012 @ 9:37pm 
great work. had a moment of craziness, then finally noticed the button RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, and everything was all good.
Publishme 14 May, 2012 @ 4:14pm 
you f**** a***** i first thought i nearly blew my own brain up, but in the end pretty cool
my reward :D
exr 14 May, 2012 @ 12:59pm 
Very nice map! Reuired some new concept and some thinking. :)
NightHawk8P 13 May, 2012 @ 4:03pm 
Fantastic map, favourited and followed!
Mevious 12 May, 2012 @ 1:38pm 
Really good,one of my favorites. I just wish it didn't require funnel climbing. Why not have a portalable patch of floor to gain height?
XaetaCore 12 May, 2012 @ 11:14am 
Best map ive ever done good that you tube sees this :D
Meepmorp 12 May, 2012 @ 11:02am 
defintley the best test i've done so far you must have a huge brain to have thought of that
Vintage 12 May, 2012 @ 9:59am 
very nice. small and clever, works very well
Cynical Satire 12 May, 2012 @ 8:40am 
You were right, I weeped and cried but eventually got it!
