Semi-blindrun (at least 4 years since I've played, took a break starting from late 2019)

Hardest part was starting off. Since I didn’t remember this map I was seriously wondering if the mapmaker expected me to bhop across the goo gap. I’m certainly not the best bhopper so it probably isn’t impossible but very difficult. Lots of interesting techniques in this map.

I DID manage to exploit it near the end though, by bhopping and jumping into the reverse funnel beside the exit -- I could get far enough to just barely make it into the door . Obviously this was unintended so I went back and did it what I thought was the right way.

Difficulty: 6.5/10
Design: 9/10
Enjoyed: 7.75/10

Fun. If it wasn't for the grate glitch between the only portal square on the floor with the grated portal surface under the yellow tractor beam (whatever), I think you could probably do this chamber with ONLY the reflector cube. I believe there would be a really good chance.

Great logic puzzle with clever use of funnel and light-bridge + two different ways to kill the turrets :) I believe I used all the element, so hopefully this is the intended solution ?

good logical fun map.
I quickly saw how to exit.
but knew I needed both cubes & had no clue how to get the weighted cube.
or how to work it out ?
the corridor showing the player the cube, seemed (but not) the only way to get it.
replacing some walls with glass, to show the player, the route.
but not the solution, might help ?
moving myself & the reflector was great :)
1 turret funeled through fizzler
2 went for a swim :)

nice early teaser, (pre-wieghted cube) when player stands on exit button.
has all they need to exit. as long as they stay on the button :)

I like this map. I consider this to be a logical puzzle with a medium to hard difficulty. I found only one problem...
I may have found the only spot that players can get stuck in the flip panel linkage.

I may have a better idea to get back to the entry area. Remove the pedastal button with the X on it. Remove a small upper section of grating. Use a faith plate to jump to the entry area :)

Thanks for playing stormsend, I appreciate your visits! I look forward to visit your workshop too and check out your maps.

Such a good feeling of accomplishment when you finally get to that tantalizing exit. The switching between the funnel and the lightbridge was well thought out and executed. I had the most trouble getting to the weighted cube. After that I was home free. Thanks for a fun time.

excelent,loved this chamber

Well done again with funnel and bridge :steamhappy:; favorited.

Very nicely done! Good logic puzzle with re-useable technique! Thanks!

Maybe it should be named Convolutitadas... in a complimentary way. Just getting the first cube up to the top floor and then down inside the confined area is a strong puzzle in itself, but that's only half of it. Once you figure out what each cube needs to be doing and where you need to be , it all comes together. An interesting mechanic, using the funnel to slide the cube slightly to block the laser and switch on the light bridge. Later you need to do it again, from a different place.

Thank you very much metadavid! I hope you also check out my newest maps, If you haven´t already.
metadavid 17 Sep, 2014 @ 7:57pm 
I've solved this before and thought I'd play again, I have tried on and off for several attempts to just figure out the first part. Very satisfying to get it this time and complete the map. Really very clever design. Thanks

Maybe...you most complex test. very clever design and tasks. Added to my favorites.

Very cool map, good job :) Can you test my map please ? https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=219716542

Holy smokes! Wotta chamber! I can't believe how long it took me to figure out how to drop down through that hole guarded by lasers.
Yavie 23 Dec, 2013 @ 10:53am 
Yes! That definitely got my brain working this morning (:

Very nice indeed!

Naurgul, thanks for playing and for your feedback!

That was pretty good overall, but not without its problems: The puzzle felt a bit contrived and there were a ton of restrictions. At the end of the day, one could solve this by exhaustively trying all the possible actions they have in each part of the puzzle, because there's so few different things to try.

Thanks again for playing, daloboy, glad it was a challenge for you!

Hi Zoraya! It took me so much time to figure out how to get the cube up!!!!!! So simple...after all! Very nice puzzles!
Zoraya  [author] 11 Sep, 2013 @ 12:30pm 
Thank you, Fatso!

Your puzzles are never boring, and this chamber/puzzles were amazing...Great job Zoraya
I could not exploit this 1.
Diego 18 Jul, 2013 @ 4:47pm 
Very nice chamber

This is not a chamber. This is a brilliant mega puzzle.
Where the frak is my paracetamol?

Tricky and challenging, like it.
Jade BGE 14 Jun, 2013 @ 10:25pm 
That was so great! I loved the way you put these elements together - the way we get to the upper level - cool. Your map gave me a "how cool was that" moment.
Always a pleasure to play your maps. Thank you Zoraya.
