First time replaying it in probably 5+ years. Somehow solved and executed it in less than two minutes.

I can't get this shot. It's too precise and the momentum your playing with is too disorienting to reasonably pull off. I already know how the puzzle is solved, so this weird technical challenge is complete dookie that ruined an otherwise fun test.

Agreeing with a comment down here, it was also hard for me to perform 💀

this map is quite easy puzzle solving wise. but is it only me who's having a hard time with executing it? maybe i'm just too old for map like this

This one is really easy compared the most of the previous tests. I just don't get the little part up there. is it just to confuse test subjects? IDK I had to problems solving this one.

Same concept as the previous map's ending, so this is fairly easy. Harder if you haven't solved the previous map.

One small part of the chamber (the one with the grate and a roof up top) isn't needed.
MmmmmmhHHHhhhhhhmmmm 27 Apr, 2017 @ 8:22am 
Might wanna add grates around the surfaces.

Took me about 15 times to do it. It was just an exercise for improving flinging. Concept already learned in a previous map of this collection which i gave up. Now i learned. Had fun. Good work. You make good maps Gigopler. Keep on. Thanks.

Quite clever, like how at least I think you have to jump from the grating way up at the top so you don't undershoot the platform later. I'm saying "at least I think" because I did this without doing that and I undershot it. May just be me though, but there has to be a reason for it... Either way, good work. Thanks for this.

Nice one! I love no-elements type puzzles. Solving requires understanding and practical application of the principle of momentum loss: a true physics puzzle.
jandlml 9 Mar, 2016 @ 10:36pm 
wow that must have taken me 50 tries to get it.

Awesome map! :steamhappy:

Nice map. Revisits the subtraction theme learned in #11: Momentum.
Ultimaximus 6 Dec, 2015 @ 12:56pm 
The classic ceiling-floor loop, but as a momentum reducer instead of a booster , sweet

Hart pumping action in a Portal game. I never would have believed it.

Nice puzzle. The roof surface that is behind a grate is superfluous though.

Well done. Very enjoyable solving this one. First time through it was what the ... Then I went to work. Thanks for a great series.
L.H.O.O.Q. 20 Jul, 2014 @ 7:06pm 
One of the easier levels in the series, in my opinion, just some deals with precision. It's probably a speedrunner's wet dream, though...
7uk454n 21 Mar, 2014 @ 5:38pm 
cool map was easy but took a lot of portals lmao

Felt like one of those hourglass puzzles - with only a seven minute and a four minute, how do you record nine minutes? With portals, of course.
The Sojourner 6 Sep, 2013 @ 9:07pm 
There's a common theme throughout the "no elements" chambers, and thus the difficulty can't really get harder than medium (unless of course some crazy ninja/speedrunning skills are involved).

Now, if I take away two from five...
Manifest Breastiny 2 Sep, 2013 @ 6:37pm 
I'd say it's a 4/10 for difficulty, easy-medium. I really enjoyed the puzzle, though. Thumbs up.
Bayram 31 Aug, 2013 @ 2:46pm 
Enjoyable. I agree with intermediate, but if you've already completed the Mevious puzzle that uses a similar technique AND your execution skills are good you might find it easy.
Prototype 21 Aug, 2013 @ 12:02am 
Nice puzzle, I'd rate it easy difficulty.

Oh, and as aways, brilliant stuff from Gig. Thanks!

Cave Johnson here: Once again, had to sleep on it to get it. I guess that means I'm smarter when I'm sleeping than when I'm awake! Sometimes I hear music in my head when I'm dreaming, and the instant I become concious of it, it disappears, and I can't ever get it back.One time when I was dreaming, I was rattling off pun after pun, and of course, I can never do that when I'm awake. I think I'll change my name to "Subconcious Johnson". Cave out.

easy/med difficulty. cheers
Joeliam 29 Apr, 2013 @ 10:44am 
Not very complicated when you know the trick but still very fun.
Geneosis 22 Apr, 2013 @ 1:18pm 
@AgentFire : Oh and I think Gig was not talking about bunnyhop at all... It may take like 30 sec to solve this puzzle the intended way if you don't mess up your portals ^^
Geneosis 22 Apr, 2013 @ 1:16pm 
Too much speed conservation make it a bit tedious... But that was fun to play anyway ^^
SkepticalDragon 7 Apr, 2013 @ 9:16am 
I had figured it out but regretfully I wasn't executing it correctly... Well done.
baphomet 1 Apr, 2013 @ 10:03am 
Splendid!
NiclO (- - ) 15 Mar, 2013 @ 1:46am 
Great map! Cheers!
sorrx 11 Mar, 2013 @ 4:25pm 
great map
though I wonder, what the intended solution might be, because I skipped the whole pit section - have to try again later
AgentFire 8 Mar, 2013 @ 8:56am 
Yeah I know u can bunnycheatyhopping, I cant do it so fast as you do.
Gigo  [author] 8 Mar, 2013 @ 7:47am 
It took you a whole 2 minutes to solve this?
AgentFire 8 Mar, 2013 @ 2:17am 
Super easy, solved in 2 min.
Gigo  [author] 7 Mar, 2013 @ 11:24pm 
To get out of the pit.
[♥] OMFGeoff 7 Mar, 2013 @ 4:35pm 
Is there a point for the ceiling surface behind the grating?
Innocentive 7 Mar, 2013 @ 8:29am 
Very satisfying to solve this! Thanks!!!
Hen_ham 2 Mar, 2013 @ 9:42pm 
Excellent map
Requiemsoul 28 Feb, 2013 @ 3:06pm 
Very Cool
