@lowelldogger Where is the hidden portal surface? I can't figure out how to get into the little room protected by lasers above the tractor beam at the far end of the hall.

I thought this was an easy puzzle after I found the hidden portal surface. I must say that ruined the flow of the chamber for me. This is not an attribute of a well designed puzzle in my opinion and adds nothing but frustration. Therefore I have to give it a thumbs down.

Amazing map! Very tricky! I agree with the previous comments. The key portal surface was too well hidden! Thanks!

As montioned earlier, there is a portal surface that's alomost impossible to spot. Other than that, a well crafted puzzle.

There were two things you will need to figure out before you can roll out a solution, one thing being a place to explore and the other a manuver to get started. I do like that the player has to explore and solve a puzzle. But asides from a few offest indicators, there were no real signs that would show the player how to get there.

very good puzzle.
only negative, is low visibility of area to activate the laser.
nearly gave up, due to this.
but spotted it just in time.
puzzle was great, got me thinking & re-thinking.
I brought the reflector to the 1st / exit chamber twice,
before figuring out the correct sollution.
but eventualy figured it out :)
timing was not a problem.
thumbs up of course.

please try a map from my workshop:

Very well done. Kept me thinking and I really like the combination of moves... had to try a few times to get the combination right but it was fun and rewarding to finally get it right.

Died twice, but completed it first sitting (griller of death is a given *must try*, right? lol). One suggestion regarding getting people to look up in the right place - if you need to provide the only visual cue in the picture section of the map page , then youre doing it wrong. The lighting in this map hid that from being discovered naturally. Maybe provide a bigger gap to see through/throw some light through so players can be prompted to explore the ceiling through proper contrast. It might take some tweaking to get right. Darken the internal area and place a flickering light with long gap between cycles is a good way to do this - it provides a chance finding, and draws players to explore what theyve just *accidentally* seen . The map still made me think and groan - good signs. Cheers

As did I. I simply wasn't looking at things the right way. /me Beats self up for missing that one small piece of the puzzle

Wow, this is a great chamber. Got me thinking multiple times and I used that spoiler tip to solve it. Great job!

Great map! Kept me thinking for a while..

That was SWEET!! With such simplicity bought much complexity.

This one really drives me nuts since I'm no good with timed actions. Figuring "it" out was not that hard. Actually doing what need to be done is something else. There better be some cake at the exit, when I finally manage it. Somehow. I hope. :)

Ok thank you, you do very nice maps, I will try to complete this too XD =D

This can be completed, the guy below you did it. Don't worry too much, I designed this one to be really difficult and it may send some people a little crazy trying to figure it out.
If you're interested I can give you a spoiler to help you through the reflector cube should not be placed near the flame cubes, place it near the fizzler on the other side
Sviat 24 Jun, 2012 @ 7:23am 
It's possible to pass it? I tried a lot of times but nothing, the only way to open the door is place a reflector cude near the deadly flame cubes and after place a portal with laser passing through, the laser will reflect the cube and open the door, but th thing is I didn't found the way to do it, because is impossible to have 1st portal in laser zone and 2nd in deadly cubes zone,
Anyone did it?

Pretty cool, beat first try.
