I'm not going to rate this down. After twenty minutes of trying to get from the light bridge to the exit, I'm through. I attempted to get a cube up there and failed many times. I have been frustrated since I started this map and I came to play and have fun. Singh makes a lot of sense and I was thinking the same way. This map would benefit from some more rooms breaking the puzzle into bite size chunks. Sorry but I'll look elsewhere for fun. Thank you for the effort.

Oh I don't doubt there was a way, and that hint makes perfect sense. Just seems a bit too obscure to me. But that's just my opinion of course =)

@Velexia Actually there is a way to jump to go through the gate you just got to figure this out ;)
Thanks for your time and the thumbs up :)

A hint: use one of the boxes ;)

Despite being using the light bridge in what seemed to be the proper manner, I was unable to finish due to lack of ability to... jump, I guess.

Still, a decent puzzle. No real aesthetics, but it was worth my time. Thumbs up =)

Hey everyone checkout my new test chamber Chamber 103

I don't think anything I suggested precludes ideas of difficulty. If fact my point was that a hard map should gratify the player along the way. This map does not - it's an all or nothing approach, and by the end the process of playing it errodes the reward of finishing it.

I think we simply disagree on what is worthwhile in terms of a challenge. Don't mistake visual challenges for mental ones. Mentally engaging chambers require creative solutions. Messy and confusing ones do not. Take a look at some of Skyferret's maps, he's a master at making elegant, well layed out, & challenging maps.

Good luck on the next one.

@Singh i built this chamber to be complicated and challenging so if you didn't enjoy it much it's okay a lot people probably won't because i wanted this chamber to be hard.

I also didn't want to give the player any directions on how to finish the map because that's add to the challenge ;) and that's way i said in the description "This test chamber is a bit tricky but it isn't hard if you know what you got to do"

Thanks for trying my map, and please checkout my other test chamber you might like it :)

I got throught it. Can't say I enjoyed it though.

I'm generally not a fan of the sandbox approach of throwing a ton of elements in a room and letting the player figure out how to get from A to Z without directing them to the order of the problem. They not only have the problem of the puzzle but the problem of the order of the puzzle.

The general reason for my distaste in this is that the player has no sense of real progress through the map, becoming potentially frustrated and disenchanted. Every misstep leaves the player feeling like they're back to step 1, so their gratification is really only in completing it and never in interacting with it, and by the time I completed it what satisfaction I could have had been erroded by the process of getting it.

(continued)

That said I think this map has a lot of potential if it was broken up into different rooms thereby giving a spacial sense of progress as different parts of the puzzle are completed. The most obvious problem of putting everything in the same room as it is now is the mess of signage it creates making it less than useful.

Check out my new test chamber "Chamber 102"

if you would like this test is one of my favorites made by my friend https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=74283433

No problem, thanks for trying mine.

@Andi Am not a fan of timed puzzles ethier :) but I needed to make this chamber challenging so as you said it was needed to be timed, Am glad that you liked it and thanks for checking this map out :)

This is a quite complicated chamber that took some time to get through. I'm not a fan of timed puzzles but sometimes they are needed as it is here. It works and it makes this a really fun puzzle. Nice job.
