This is awesome!
Very hard.
Died once because I didn't think what the 2nd pedestal button does (funnel), and once trying to break the map which I did and I got my punishment shortly after ( It was my second try [www.dropbox.com])
3rd time is a charm [www.dropbox.com]

Even after watchng the playthru, the timing eluded me... nicely done, even if it did best me (for now)...

Very good sir! Thanks for playing.
Feel free to try some others if you'd like. Such as Pillars of Hercules , Gust of Past or The Orientor .

Hi Bisqwit, I will soon answer the comments you posted on my maps.

That one surprised me first ! Once I figured it out, before trying I still wasn't sure about it. Unfortunately, this is the 1st time I record a run demo, and I realised too late I overwrited the first run writing it's name to record the 2nd... To put my 1st try in a nutshell : It was about 15min I think : I've been surprised by the turret (is it here to inform about useful portal shoot?) and I've been lucky with the 2nd one cause it kept me against it during the funnel activation... I made some journeys across the map, thinking... then saw the portalable surface in front of the ball, and after several jumps through a portal shot here, I finally missed one and ... goo.
Here the second part of my blind playthrought : http://h1dglr.1fichier.com/

Tricky map, I liked it, even if it require timing, and if the funnel button give some coldsweat before pushing it ^^

Who knows, maybe I'm really the first one to die on this map. What an honor! ;)
For one second I thought about the direction of the funnel before pressing the button and concluded it is with 100 % certainty a blue funnel, or else it would pull me into the laser field. Now that would be ridiculous. I pressed the button feeling perfectly safe...

Thanks toncica! I didn't even realize myself how good a puzzle this was, until when I tried making the walkthrough video two months after making the map, and I had already forgotten the solution and had to genuinely solve it. Re: The death on the first run, I wouldn't say that. You can avoid death pretty easily even by accident by standing right next to the actual pedestal, in the center. The pedestal provides a suitable obstacle, as long as you do not duck . Ducking makes you smaller. But I understand that in a panicked state it is difficult to think clearly :-)
The second death was indeed unnecessary: You replaced the wrong portal.
Yours was the second blind-demo I got that completes the map, and you're the first one to die even once in the map :-)

Out of the three I liked this puzzle the most. It is a genuine puzzle that makes you think, could be a bit less deadly though. Probably nobody presses the second pedestal without dying on the first run. My second death was probably unnecessary, I thought I couldn't exit the area because the portal on the flip panel vanishes when I come near it, that was silly.

Yeah, you are probably right. I wonder how I overlooked that. Drats.

Just before I test it again... I think I could manage to funnel fly over the goo now :p

Well, as they say here, "nice job breaking it, hero". An update is coming in a few minutes to this map which should make it impossible to use your little trick :-)
EDIT: Here we go. Not only should it be impossible to reach the dropper now, if by some freak happenstance you still manage to approach it, you are thwarted by a kill-field.
Geneosis 9 May, 2013 @ 2:10pm 
XD Sorry about that, I started thinking about some other solution, and then I saw I could access the ball dropper and was like "oh, nevermind, lets just duplicate the ball" :p

@Geneosis: Definitely not the kind of glitch I intended! Heh. I only meant portal bump glitch for this one. That's the problem: Give the people license to use glitches, and they'll break it.
Geneosis 9 May, 2013 @ 1:37pm 
Well I was about to post something like 'you forgot to link the angled panel on the left to some button"... Then I saw I was supposed to use glitches X)
So here is a blind run demo [www.sendspace.com] of the first time I tried to solve it using glitches ;)
