Description
Welcome to the map Combinatoric. Its main feature is the use of the portal on-off button.

Note: No glitches or cube throwing allowed. However, setting cubes on ledges above you is perfectly fine.

This chamber took me a while to create, but it wasn't the puzzle itself that took me the most time. The difficult and confusing part was adding custum music, so hopefully you'll be hearing the music I've intended to be played (fingers crossed!).

Although Mikeastro's music is not what I'm using here, I'd like to thank him because his instructions on how to insert his own music into beemod helped me do the same with mine.

And, speaking of the music, it is of my own composition! I'm honestly pretty terrible with making electronic music, so apologies if it isn't the greatest quality, I'm still learning! I'd like input on whether you think it fits the style of portal 2 or not (and let me know if you're hearing music that you recongnize as someone else's--that would mean I haven't implemented mine properly).

Yeah I was gonna get the first one first, but if there's a remake coming I'll wait (was planning to play through some more workshop items anyway before buying it) :0

@zigzagtenniscoe Also I read that you're considering getting the talos principle? It's a great game, but if you're talking about the first one, you might want to consider waiting till the remake comes out, it's supposed to have a lot of new stuff and updated visuals :D

@zigzagtenniscoe thanks for the kind words!

Thoughts with blindrun and SPOILERS! [telegra.ph]

TLDR: Easily the most complex, difficult, and absolutely, positively, bloody ingenious test I've played. It took me several hours over two days. With all the cube-swaps and fore-planning required, it felt like what I imagine it might feel like to solve a Rubik's Cube on your own with no hints for the first time (even though that's probably harder). Hats off and well done.

Difficulty: 10/10
Enjoyed: 10/10

Late to the party on this one. Fantastic puzzle. I never really felt totally blocked - there were always loads of options, just had to find the right one. I figured the ending sequence quite early on but it took me an age to work out how to get the first cube to the exit area.

Great Map, with a lot of portal management needed. Didn't initially think it was going to be so tricky, but boy was I wrong. I'm a pretty big fan of the "on-off" button concept, because of the added thought you need to put into things. Thanks for Making!

Wow, that was slick, I can't believe all of that ended up working out as nicely as it did. Ditto Libbybapa's comment. Awesome stuff, favorited :^)
