easy and cool puzzle.

Solved the chamber, found out what to do pretty easily, but this chamber was not enjoyable.

Played again after 2 1/2 years. This time without the cube/grate glitch. Great fun, thanks!

hey you know how in the main game portals would self allign themselves on certain bits of surface to make the puzzle less frustrating? that would be really damn useful on the first room

Clever

Nice cleverness! Your chamber is prone to the cube portal grating glitch! One way to prevent it is to "double grate" it. Just be sure to have a pedestal button connected to a cube dropper to respawn an unretrievable cube!

Intriguing map with several clever tricks! Is the feature where the cube will go through a grill a standard portal 2 function or must it be explicitly set up by the game creator? Thanks for a great map!

Fustrating but still manages to be fun

Hey guys, just finished making my very first Test Map, and would love some feedback.

Awesome test chamber :) Could you try mine? http://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=180312984

Excellent map! Well done!

Карта действительно умная! Обе комнаты отличны!

P.S. I found that I didn't have to do the "Infinite Falling" on Room 1. Instead I did the "Yo-Yo Effect," where I had both portals on the floor and bounced up and down at a speed where I could take my time and aim .

I'm still hoping to see a video by that guy (Romb?) to see how other people did it.
ProfDave3d 29 Jun, 2013 @ 12:52am 
This one was really sweet! Like a chess puzzle, a lot to figure out. And fun!

I don't remember anything about Room 1 that someone might hate, but I liked the whole thing.

Thanks!

HATED room 1 (author: Do you know that some of us like to kick it old school with a console controller?), LOVED, LOVED second room.
kimist108 23 Apr, 2013 @ 11:35am 
Nice. First, I did typical steps, then realized there needed a little more thinking involved.

Difficulty: 4/10 (EASY-MEDIUM)
The solution here is not as obvious as some of the earlier maps. I like it.
Mythic Mage 1 Feb, 2013 @ 2:43am 
I really liked this one...had a nice flow but was challenging. :)
Fetandrey 30 Nov, 2012 @ 10:54am 
Another very good map! +1 from me.
T-Nav 22 Nov, 2012 @ 9:06am 
I liked this a lot! I, like many others who have commented, thought that I had solved it in the unintended way but it was still very satisfying making it to the exit. I've played quite a few of your maps over the past few days and I must say that you never cease to impress!

Very good map, essential of portal. I don know if i made this as you imagined but it was a clever trick
Mathey2009 14 Oct, 2012 @ 11:56pm 
Hey loved the map. Thank you for this map!
I've got a map of my own I'm trying to get out there a bit, try it and leave a comment :)

Clever Trick is in the book. Was real tricky but I made it in good time. Maybe I'm getting better. LOL. HEY IT'S NOT THAT FUNNY.
Miami Mike 13 Sep, 2012 @ 4:48pm 
You weren't lying, it WAS a clever trick.
WingManLefty 31 Aug, 2012 @ 5:15pm 
I'll be sure to try it soon! :)
Captain Quakas 18 Aug, 2012 @ 8:39am 
That was a good one, thanks for making!

For the players who are stuck on this map, I will give you a few hints.

First Room:
Both the player and the cube have to get through the fizzler but not at the same time .

Second Room:
1. Like the puzzle in the first room, the player and the cube needs to get through the fizzler, but not at the same time
2. That grating glass on the portal surface (near the exit) was placed for a specific reason. Think about why the author would place it there.
3. Remember that you can portal WHILE you are floating on the reverse tractor beam .
4. The "clever trick" involves the light bridge itself. It does not involve flinging, momentum, the cube or the tractor beam.
? 12 Aug, 2012 @ 5:00am 
First of all, my feedback to the author. Great puzzle. The "clever trick" is more of a logical consequence than an exploit, though it may seem like some kind of exploit. Well done.

One rule of thumb, though. If a chamber isn't very short or action-based, then NEVER use the death goo. Instead, you should just put a fizzler in the pit to destroy the cube and a piston to elevate back to the surface. While the first room was a well done puzzle, the player should not have to repeat it each time they make a mistake in the second room.

Please implement this suggestion.

Cool mechanics! I like what you did with...Everything :D
nightcat 11 Aug, 2012 @ 4:41am 
A good map. I wouldn't say it's too difficult, just requires some thinking.
DamCrit 2 Aug, 2012 @ 5:02pm 
Very clever! Also, i think the last room needs a button for the cube. I managed to get the cube near the exit pressure plate (not on it), but then accidentally removed the portal from there, which to my knowledge only left me with the 'death choice'. So yeah..you could connect the last cube dropper with a button, if I'm correct about getting stuck indefinitely on this level. :)

Great test!
The Elder Goose 17 Jul, 2012 @ 11:33am 
Very good
Alrese 15 Jul, 2012 @ 8:33pm 
Really nice map dude! One of those tests that ticks you off, but you can't stop without figuring out how to solve it. I liked it and hated it at the same time, and it takes skill to make something like that :)
StIg 15 Jul, 2012 @ 5:41am 
Too difficult. As stated below, first room too "annoying".. :)
toncica 14 Jul, 2012 @ 4:59am 
I really liked your card :) Keep it up!
Please look at my map! I want to know your opinion :)

Guesanjo 13 Jul, 2012 @ 12:15pm 
how can obtain that map?
Subject J-Rod 13 Jul, 2012 @ 10:09am 
I like this map.
One thing though: you should add a button to re-spawn the cube in the second room. I realized what I should've done right after I screwed up, but the first room was too annoying for me to do-over.
jomo666 13 Jul, 2012 @ 7:33am 
Really clever map, lots of fun!
toncica 12 Jul, 2012 @ 9:37am 
Voting down all your maps for your impertinent way of spamming other peoples workshops. Continuing... :)

Great map. Lot of your maps are hard and pleasantly so.
evilmaster 5 Jul, 2012 @ 8:30am 
Nice map! Pretty difficult, but I managed to complete it. :)
Try my latest map!

Nice one!
Portalized 4 Jul, 2012 @ 11:23am 
I love this map - tons of fun to play - and a little tricky - thanks for making!
Jay 3 Jul, 2012 @ 1:53pm 
Very clever indeed. But I think I may have skipped a small part near the exit.
