Description
Hello, it's me again. The guy with the comically bad thumbnails.
I have returned with a map that is centered around the number 4. I was going to release it on April Fools, but since that concept is kinda lame and overdone at this point, I decided to release it on an even nicer date.
I started this concept to participate in Determinated's contest, so this is my silly submission.
The design could be improved in countless ways, but the current version emphasises the simplicity of the whole situation, which I quite appreciate.

The map contains a few surprises, so do not fear when something unexpected happens!
Just keep your cool and keep puzzling. You will reach the exit eventually :]
Some basic timing is required, but nothing should be tight.
If you plan your moves ahead, you should be fine.
That said, don't take this map too seriously, it's also just a bit of fun.
Some ideas were inspired by this map by this guy, who did it much better in every aspect.

What does this chamber have to do with the number 4 you ask?
Well:
- There are 4 puzzles.
- There are 4 cubes.
- There are 4 moving platforms.
- There are 4 weighted buttons.
- There are 4 occurrences of item signage.
- Each puzzle has 4 portal surfaces.
- Each room contains 4 islands.
- The map was released on the 4th day of the 4th month.
- There is a one in 4 chance that this map is broken.
- There is a huge 4 in the thumbnail.
- The number 4 occurs in the name of this map, which has 4 syllables.
- The difficulty is about 4/10 I think.
- If you think you did anything unintended, please let me know and you will get 4 fake internet points.

Of course I won't copystrike you for the music if you record your run :p

Darn I solved 3 wrong

Although the map has some quirks, I quite enjoyed this one! I find maps where the solution can be completely changed with minimal tweaks interesting. And this one explores it quite well! For me, I enjoyed Puzzles 1 and 3 the most Really cool timing move for puzzle 3, especially. Nice Track Platform usage to. Both as a tool but also an obstacle for these 4. Faved!

I wanted to post the same comment 4 times in a row to fit the theme of the map but I decided to not do it :steammocking:

This was an interesting map overall and it was a lot of fun :steamthumbsup: Favorited !

Yea, replayed, keeps happening before the top

For some reason when both cubes are on the buttons in the first puzzle, when you take the portal up the cubes reset.

@DemonMathTeacher Thank you :D Nice work solving the whole map!

Great puzzle(s)! I really liked that the last two used the same room but with reversed funnels! Very creative!

It looks as though the frame rate is too much for my video card to handle and frames are dropped, causing very choppy game play. Very difficult to aim quickly, since the crosshairs jump all over and by the time I get it where I need it, it's too late. It's not every map, most play just fine, but this one was quite difficult. Still fun tho!

@Spider_Dawg Thanks for playing! Excellent working solving all of them in the end, in spite of the timed nature of some solutions. How curious that my puzzles specifically seem to give your system some trouble D: I have no idea what might cause that... Happy New Year to you too :]
