Ahoy, me hearties! Cap'n Cave 'ere, just wanted to let yer know that since all yer young scallywags are gettin' all miserable over not bein' able to do yer usual testin', we've installed a swashbucklin' test chamber right 'ere on the ship. Aye, the ship ain't a looker anymore, but at least yer can test. Ooh, also I ought'a mention, the ship's a bit top heavy now, and by that I mean if one o' you scurvy lot gets a bit too eager with the testin' elements, the ship'll capsize, and then the elements'll be testin' you! Cap'n Cave, we're done 'ere.

---------

Swashbuckle is an ocean themed test chamber which will send you swooping and soaring across murky waters.

After the intensely logical "Seven", I wanted to make a more exciting, adventurous test, and the pirate/ocean theme fitted perfectly. All the major test elements are blue, the lighting is shivery, and it's generally a good ol' swashbuckling time.

Nice, except some rough edges like the outstratched ledge that kills momentum and not optimized fast move at the very end. And obviously too long for casuals.

A lot of back and forth, but the thumbnail helped me clear my doubts about the intended solution.
I also initially wanted to connect funnel and light bridge for the final move, but before I was trying to pull that off I found the intended solution. Thumbs up.

I will also say, it's a bit strange I hadn't played this one even though it was uploaded way back in 2017. I've always taken breaks from the game, but the last (longest) one began near the end of 2019 so I should've gotten around to this earlier. Oh well, better late than never.

Thoughts [telegra.ph] . Don't want to flood the comment section, I've had enough of flooding after having to flood this entire map in blue gel. :P

TLDR: Super fun, loved bouncing around everywhere. Also quite difficult, as you've accurately predicted and others have experienced. Some steps took me 10-15 minutes to complete each, and the last move took me the better part of an hour to work out (and even then I ended up discovering an alternate solution it seems a couple of others have already found).

There's a couple of oddities that could've been handled a bit better, e.g. different cube types/colors, portal magnet for the light bridge surface. But this was a blast to both explore and solve. This is one of my favorite Portal 2 maps.

No blindrun since I messed up my recording, sorry.

The cubes probably should have been different colors. I got confused a few times.

Really fun and challenging, thanks!

Very nice. I spent most of my play-through not knowing what the final move would be. By the time I figured it out I had already made a mistake and had to redo most of the solution... oops.

It was pretty fun
