Thanks Mattchew!

No Elements is probably my least favorite genre of Portal 2 puzzle, so I want to say this is some excellent stuff, and I felt very engaged with it! Figuring out where to start took me a fair bit!

Besides the hilarious move-set, the reasoning for the main move is very much subtle. Having it so you gain an extra voxel in height. I enjoyed the end sequence too, going deeper into the starting pit felt super satisfying.

My only minor complaint is that I wish some sight-lines were tweaked a little—some less visible, some more. Again, however, it's minor. Grand stuff, Libby!

That's fair, though this blindrun was actually 6 months ago and I've gotten even better since then. Back then it felt like a 6.5/10 and so I kept the rating but I think I'd rate it differently now (I also don't think it would take me as long). My difficulty ratings have been revised significantly since playing, for instance, Oblivious Owl's maps aswell. Their maps are of a bit higher caliber difficulty-wise than anyone else I've encountered on average. Though I've played some pretty damn hard maps in the past I feel like their workshop taught me what truly difficult maps are :P

I'll certainly check out your maps in the future though and am excited to, given you say this is one of your easiest ones!

Thanks zigzagtenniscoe for playing and commenting! Good job solving it. Difficulty ratings are challenging, although I think that the general tendency in the workshop is for authors to greatly overestimate the difficulty of their maps rather than underestimate it. This is one of my easiest maps. If anything, 4/10 is overrating the difficulty. IMO, 1/2-hour solve time for an experienced player equates well to a 4/10 rating. You might check out some of my more challenging 7-8/10 maps to see what I equate the higher difficulty ratings with. Rating this at 6.5/10 would leave no reasonable rating for the large number of considerably more difficult maps that I have played/created. Hopefully you find that a reasonable explanation for the way I rate the difficulty. Again, thanks for playing and commenting!

Blindrun
Yet another not-so-easy No Elements chamber. It was fun figuring out this one. Took me long enough to realize that portalling where the red light bars were and using that momentum on the outside region on the end platform to transfer it to the “second” higher-area platform was key. At least I was on the right track with certain other maneuvers I was doing.

While I’m not too big a fan of haphazard blocky aesthetics, this is a really nice looking chamber lighting-wise. I love how most of the chamber glows in a soft, clean beigish light but certain sections are marked with a strong red. I also can’t say I’ve seen a chamber with an entire ceiling full of indented light squares like that - it’s trippy but I like it.

I’d definitely rate this a little higher than 4/10 on difficulty, but it’s notoriously easy to underestimate the difficulty of one’s own chamber when you know the solution as intimately as you do.

Difficulty: 6.5/10 (there’s maps that have taken me longer that I’ve rated lower but I typically take the apparent complexity of the map into account while scoring this, and this chamber doesn’t look overly difficult but still took me half an hour)
Enjoyed: 8/10

medium make medium?

It's not that hard. It's not that easy. It's medium.

easy make hard

hard make easy

Sure.

can i remake it

Thanks masalt! I'm glad you liked it.

hilarious funny amazing map lol

Thanks!

Nice no elements

Thanks DusP2k!

Replayed this one. Still very cool to execute!

Thanks Teo! I

A surprising solution to a very interesting setup. A bit of angled-panel inconsistency made some moves take a few tries, but nothing in the intended solution felt tedious. This is a really unique map that was quite fun to solve; thumbs up!

Thanks Aneonen! I'm glad you liked it.

Great puzzle! I could see what I wanted to do at the end but it took me a moment to realize that I'd actually want to fling myself up onto the highest position to set myself from 2 to 1 tile(s) of momentum rather than doing the opposite. The puzzle looks great too - I really like the sunlight effect and the protruding ledges. (Also thank you for including that invisible safety net)

Still a cool map

Thanks Dark Rozen!

Pretty good, I did it on stream last week, It took roughly 30 mins, I like the way to get to the final move.

Thanks Joric. Your run is all fine. You didn't skip anything I want to force. Thanks for playing, commenting, and posting the vid!

Slightly cut corners, but mostly intended 2 minutes: https://youtu.be/mvPvmdOU4PA cool map!

Excellent. Thanks!

@Libbybapa In my excitement of finding a genuinely tough no-elements map, I forgot to mention how much I liked it at the same time. That said, It's also my favorite no-elements map too!

Hopefully that's a good thing. :) Thanks for playing and commenting!

Toughest No-elements map I've ever played!

Thanks Nock and Camerson 1313! Fun videos!

Really good No Elements map. It's just one big square room, but the puzzle is somehow more convoluted than a lot of other NE tests I've played. Definitely a cool feat. :)

I recorded my blind run as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tA2tk47q_CU

I enjoyed this one. As we've talked about on chat, there was just that 1 move that I felt hindered my progress to the solution, but I'm glad you managed to find a way to resolve it :)

Thanks for playing and commenting NG Midd. Using no-clip like you describe is reasonable.

Came back to finish this today and it took me forever. Very clever solution and a little tricky to pull off. Beautiful visuals. But I also got reminded why I prefer making puzzles, not solving them. I am so bad at it.
I have to admit I used noclip to test different things, and solved every part separately, before stitching them all together and completing it the intended way.

Thanks Leomievs, I'm glad you liked it!

Cool map! Took a bit of thought and a few tries to get it right. The solution is clever and original, good job!

Thanks for playing jandlml. It requires unusual thinking. I changed the description from 4 to 5/10. I'll leave it at that for now.

excellent !! no elements map but i would put it at high difficulty. i finally got after looking at the walkthru 3 times just to get the one move. i feel so low. boo hoo

Mikeastro, thanks for playing and commenting!

That was surprisingly tough, and indeed a lot of strafing. The idea is very nice :)

Thanks Nobody No-One. It's my wicker lampshade effect. :)

Fun easy-ish map. Well made and more than sufficiently lit. Thumbs up.
