Very creative design.

Hey Demon! I'm finally starting to go through your workshop in chronological order, so prepare to get some comments in the next weeks and months ^^
Looking forward to checking out a veteran's work. I'm sure some gems will be coming that keep my little brain busy for a while.
For this one: a clean start, I'm sure it was pretty hard at its time. Fortunately such maneuvers of letting the item drop into the source portal so you can access both with the same portal hit the workshop more regularly in the meantime, and fortunately I remembered it (which doesn't happen all the time ^^).
On to the next!

I am not sure I play as intended, do you mean to pixel hunt the laser angle to hit the elevator trigger from the direct opposite to avoid the piston and solve it easy-easy?

Nice set of logical steps. Thanks!

After viewing the video posted by Nock, I saw that I hadn't solved the map the intended way. No question the intended way is much more elegant.

I played this like a hot knife through butter, very simple through I must stay it remained logical and a very good puzzle. (PS it got me too :P You clever you)

good looking chamber. however i noticed a couple of mistakes. first the observation room isn't centered. also you sometimes cant seewhere you area aiming. i think there is too much open space. and the last portal can be hidden behind glass or something. apart from those very well done
dr777099 6 Jun, 2018 @ 6:38pm 
Pure and simple. Very nice.

@shaggath Thank you! Feel free to check out my more recent ones :)
shaggath 10 May, 2018 @ 12:28am 
Very clever map !
Demon Arisen  [author] 26 Jan, 2018 @ 3:54pm 
@Photonic Thank you! Please feel free to try my others.
Hikari 15 Jan, 2018 @ 4:10pm 
@Fumbly Bumbly Rofl I found that too!

fun laser test
Demon Arisen  [author] 4 Jun, 2017 @ 10:48pm 
@dven1 Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it.
dven1 4 Jun, 2017 @ 3:07pm 
Nice map, well made and sufficiently lit. This one seems so simple once you work it out but working it out took forever! Very clever puzzle indeed.Thanks for your efforts.
Fumbly Bumbly 7 May, 2017 @ 11:39pm 
Nice puzzle. Gotta love that dancing elevator.
nock 7 Apr, 2017 @ 3:21am 
Was very surprised with this one given the description as I thought I'd be here a lot longer than I was. Good work Demon

@qrioso Yes, they are exactly how you described them! Don't play "My first test! (Of April)"because it's an April Fool's joke :P
qrioso 4 Apr, 2017 @ 10:44am 
I heard about the quality of your maps in other map's comments so i decided to try few of your maps. I've got 6 of your in my queue and i began from the oldest one. I'll consider your collection.

This test was quite simple but clean and well designed and pure logic, no special skill needed, so i think/hope that your recent maps will be more challenging and with the same design. Let's see and thanks again for your effort and for your kind answer. :-)
Demon Arisen  [author] 4 Apr, 2017 @ 10:33am 
@qrioso Thank you very much - you're in for a treat with my newer maps! If I were you I'd try all
the maps in this collection https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=839996444

How did you find this test, just out of curiosity?
qrioso 4 Apr, 2017 @ 10:16am 
As your first map you made a very good job. Let's try more of yours. Thanks for mapping
Demon Arisen  [author] 12 Mar, 2017 @ 5:05pm 
@Steve1965 Thank you! :D I'm glad you enjoyed it. Feel free to try my others, especially those in my "best of" collection - I'm sure you'll love them :p2cube:
Steve1965 12 Mar, 2017 @ 4:52pm 
getting from 2nd to last step to the last step stumped me until I realized what I had to make happen. Hint - think what your last move must be and work backwards from there.
Demon Arisen  [author] 6 Feb, 2017 @ 2:10pm 
@libbybapa Thank you! Unfortunately this test is so ancient that I don't have it on my computer any more so I can't really edit it :P
gerversluis 27 Jan, 2017 @ 3:25am 
Very good puzzle.
bullfrog 27 Dec, 2016 @ 1:17am 
Yet another brilliant logical puzzle. I got up top OK without taking too long to work stuff out. It then took me far longer than it should have done to work out the final two shots. Thank you

@LambdaStudios Not evil gods, just Demon Arisen!

Not impossible at all. You just need to think outside the box :)
PixelPerfect 16 Sep, 2016 @ 1:46pm 
Is this puzzle made by evil gods or am I just dumb?
PixelPerfect 5 Jul, 2016 @ 1:26pm 
Impossible!!!
Instantiation 22 May, 2016 @ 9:48pm 
Minor tip: the antlines aren't as good as they could be. The line always connects to the side of the fizzler that is solid in the editor view. If you switch that side to the inside wall (which effectively does nothing to the puzzle itself), it will draw a better line. :p2cube:
Instantiation 22 May, 2016 @ 9:41pm 
Clever fun. I liked it.
SA_Zodia 6 May, 2016 @ 5:59am 
Simple and fun.
lfairban 21 Sep, 2015 @ 3:46pm 
Very good. That one took some thought.
Almisuifre 23 Dec, 2014 @ 4:22pm 
Nice little laser test.
Demon Arisen  [author] 15 Aug, 2014 @ 1:35pm 
@quaternary No I think you might be right, depending on which portal you place at the end of the laser....
quat 15 Aug, 2014 @ 1:24pm 
Wait no I'm stupid, you need it twice :S nvm
Demon Arisen  [author] 15 Aug, 2014 @ 1:17pm 
@wildgoosespeeder Mwahahahaha! My evil plan to confuse wildgoosespeeder has succeeded! Mwahaha - oh, sorry, I mean, er, Thanks! I suck at laser-fizzler tests too... Which I guess is why I made this... :P
Demon Arisen  [author] 15 Aug, 2014 @ 1:13pm 
@quaternary Thanks! No, you need to use the orange portal more than once I think....
wildgoosespeeder 11 Aug, 2014 @ 9:25pm 
Looked at toncica's video. I feel really dumb now. I overlooked the simplest thing of overlooking the floor portal surfaces . I kept trying to do really weird things because, well, you named the chamber "Indirect".

In general, I suck at laser-fizzler tests like this. Good one. You got me good.
quat 6 Jul, 2014 @ 11:24am 
Old chamber and all but loved the test. The way of getting the box to the upper floor was neat.
I solved it with only 1 orange portal, was that intended
Demon Arisen  [author] 12 Jun, 2014 @ 12:37pm 
@p0rtalmaster Yeah, that hilarious oscillation thingy happened to Rage in one of his fan chamber episodes... can't remember which one though...
The Sojourner 10 Jun, 2014 @ 12:45am 
Nice little test (with a small exploit which led to a little lol since the lift was in the way of the laser and there was oscillation... ).
多崎つくる 18 Apr, 2014 @ 11:57pm 
No sound, but you should get the idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qM0tK757ARk
Demon Arisen  [author] 18 Apr, 2014 @ 4:09am 
@Chill La Chill
Hmm... Are you sure? I think I fixed all exploits in the redux map, but it would be nice if you could tell me what the exploit is so I can fix it. :)
多崎つくる 17 Apr, 2014 @ 11:01pm 
After looking at toncica's video, I think I found an exploit.

Since I can't play your redux map though, I'm not sure if the exploit will work for that one as well...
Demon Arisen  [author] 27 Sep, 2013 @ 9:51am 
Thanks machmanx, don't forget to follow me on the workshop if you aren't already. :)
I'm glad you like my style, I might release a new version of this chamber soon to clean it up a bit...
Please try out some of my others, they're not all amazing, because I tend to rush them, but most of them are, hopefully, pretty clever. :-D
MachManX 23 Sep, 2013 @ 1:55pm 
Man, I got stuck on this one for over 10 minutes. It looked too simple to be true and that's when trouble started. But as I stared from above it finally hit me...how simple it really was. And just like that I finished. I was sooo happy when I solved this. You are a DEEE MONNNN for making this, but excellent job!
Demon Arisen  [author] 8 Sep, 2013 @ 12:19am 
@kimist108 Thank you so much! :) I'll have another chamber out in a couple of weeks, so follow me on the workshop if you want to stay tuned. ;)
kimist108 7 Sep, 2013 @ 9:17pm 
Really nice. Am enjoying working through your maps.
Demon Arisen  [author] 7 Sep, 2013 @ 9:44am 
@commander2005. Thanks! I'm not very experienced with hammer so that mayn't happen for a while, but I am planning to make a peti/hammer test in a couple of weeks. :)
