Thank you @Herobs,
Glad you appreciate the aesthetic :steamhappy:
I can't tell why the piece for the "star puzzle" did not work ? Normally that give access to a whole secret area! Maybe try again from there... (see the video)
The last jump is quite tricky to achieve, if you miss it you may find yourself stuck on the roof forever! (in that case enjoy the pool but quit before winter...) :D
Thank you a lot for your feedback! :steamthumbsup::steamthumbsup:

Very nice ! Everything worked fine until the very last sequence where I couldn't move the piece and then I couldn't replay the final jump, not sure why but very aesthetic experience !

That was a lot of fun ! Step 4 took me a bit to figure out and I forgot to bring the life preserver with me :steamfacepalm: Favorited !

Thanks a lot for commenting on this one and reporting the bug.
I'm not sure if 'Il be able to fix it but it is well noted for a next update, thank you!
Did you visit the "secret" area as well?

I like it so many puzzles packed in one tower :-)

bugreport: had to noclip for the ball which got stuck on the railing before the hatchdoor with elevator to the roof (also the dual elevator got confused if goes up or down).

Thank you a lot Sgt. Forever !
Well done solving this difficult one!
I'm glad that you appreciate :)) and thanks for your feedback :steamthumbsup:

I got the life preserver to the secret area :D That was a super awesome map
jp  [author] 11 Dec, 2021 @ 11:46am 
Ok I will check it again but as I never had the problem, it's hard to fix. (Add me for more details.)
Thank you for playing my other maps! :steamthumbsup: Feel free to leave comments on those as well :)

Yes I tried it, but did not manage to end at the top, but anyway I had a lot of fun. Now I am trying some of your others maps, and they are also great :-)
jp  [author] 8 Dec, 2021 @ 10:21am 
@bjan, I'm glad that you liked it :)
Did you use the button at number 11? Normally, from there you should be driven to the top of the pylon with a third person view..
bjan 8 Dec, 2021 @ 5:18am 
Amazing map, one of the best I have played, and I have tried many. Really have some problems with some of the jumps. I the final I was able to return the life belt to it's box. However I did not manage to end the game on top of the pylon, even after trying various options, maybe you could give a hint? Hope you will continue with similar maps in the future
jp  [author] 13 Sep, 2021 @ 5:35am 
@TBSHEB, Excellent! Glad you succeed in the challenge! :)
TBSHEB 13 Sep, 2021 @ 3:45am 
I brought the Borealis life ring to the box!
jp  [author] 10 Jul, 2021 @ 3:52pm 
Yeah I think you will probably like this part as well! :))
Thank you for the feedback, that's motivating a lot!! :steamthumbsup:
JustFajr 10 Jul, 2021 @ 2:00pm 
I haven't, might look into it when I get some free time.
:p2blue:Thank you for creating this masterpiece!:p2orange:
jp  [author] 10 Jul, 2021 @ 12:55pm 
@JustFajr, Thank you a lot and well done! :steamthumbsup:
I'm very glad that you like it and that you solved it; it's a tricky one!
Did you visit the secret area ? :steamhappy:
JustFajr 10 Jul, 2021 @ 12:00pm 
This map is awesome! Had a blast while solving this one.
jp  [author] 4 Apr, 2020 @ 6:22am 
@Winnie, I think that this bug is solved (hopefully)
You should end on the cube sitting on top of the Pylon
Winnie Wheatley 22 Feb, 2020 @ 2:22pm 
Secret area was very impressive but I forgot take life preserver to it. How to finish map with a Rating Screen? Chell just walking around pool or make endless jump to the sea.
jp  [author] 22 Feb, 2020 @ 1:55pm 
@Winnie, Thank you very much! I'm really happy that you appreciate and had fun playing it! :))
Did you found the secret zone as well? :steamhappy:
Winnie Wheatley 22 Feb, 2020 @ 12:57pm 
Wow! Cool fantastic adventure on the Mysterious Island with the Magic Tower. Thanks for creating a wonderful map! Undoubtedly this is an outstanding work in the Portal 2 Workshop. :47_thumb_up:
jp  [author] 18 Feb, 2020 @ 11:13am 
Excellent! And thank you for the cool pix!
(You are now appearing in the challenge description)
ThatAlienBoi 18 Feb, 2020 @ 10:58am 
I completed the challange!
The Borealis life preserver is now in it's rightfull place : )
jp  [author] 5 Feb, 2020 @ 5:53am 
Hey cool! this is quite a challenge indeed :)
Thanx for the pic! :steamhappy:
GavGraphics 4 Feb, 2020 @ 1:09pm 
After a few attempts I completed that little challenge ;)
jp  [author] 19 Jan, 2020 @ 3:35pm 
Non non, pas sauter de la tour, c'est très dangereux!! :))
La surface doit être portaillable, je vérifierai cela asap.
(bien qu'on puisse s'en passer pour la suite)
Čolibri 19 Jan, 2020 @ 11:12am 
Bah, moi je suis encore coincé ! au niveau de la piscine.
J'ai réussi à sauter sur une des plateformes extérieures d'en bas (mais la plupart du temps je me fait repousser de la tour) . J'ai cliqué sur le bouton marqué d'un signe boule, mais rien ne se passe.
En face la cage pince-boule il y a une surface portaillable... non portaillable !
jp  [author] 19 Jan, 2020 @ 4:25am 
Cool! :D
Ratatos 19 Jan, 2020 @ 3:46am 
oui, j'ai tout fait
jp  [author] 19 Jan, 2020 @ 2:26am 
Merci et bravo car cette map est difficile; beaucoup d'observation nécessaire comme tu as pu voir :)
As-tu visité la zone "secrète"? sinon je te la conseille vivement, ça vaut le détour je pense... :steamhappy:
Ratatos 19 Jan, 2020 @ 1:30am 
oui grandement, cet interrupteur était bien planqué, lol (surtout qu'on nous le montre dans le preview).
Pour le reste ça a été, la map est très cool, super travail
jp  [author] 18 Jan, 2020 @ 5:33pm 
@Ratatos Oui c'est normal car c'est un "preview" pour aider à comprendre comment cette grille pivote pour te donner l'accès au bouton signalé par le cercle.
Repère le bouton qui est au plafond juste au-dessus de la grille basculante (au centre du numéro 8). Ce bouton bascule la grille et tu peux y accéder avec un grand rebond...
J'espère que ça t'aide :)
jp  [author] 18 Jan, 2020 @ 5:23pm 
@mit Thank you and happy that you tested it so good :))
Ratatos 18 Jan, 2020 @ 2:30pm 
Est-ce normal qu'a l'étape 8, la grille, permettant d'aller au bouton signalé par un cercle, soit restée ouverte (position horizontal) uniquement lors de la descente du mur en face, puis se soit refermée (position verticale) sans pouvoir la rouvrir?
mit3368 18 Jan, 2020 @ 9:38am 
It was a nice logical map throughout the testing.:heartris:
jp  [author] 11 Jan, 2020 @ 6:05am 
Merci et bien joué! :)
EndOfPortal 11 Jan, 2020 @ 4:59am 
C'était une aventure. Le design est très bien fait. :SpRad_ThumbsUp:

@Čolibri Going underwater for the first time : Use portals on both faces of the rotating slab
Čolibri 4 Jan, 2020 @ 3:08pm 
I got the ball and the helper suggests that the next step is underwater. I can see a lot of things through the grid but I can't go there. Help please!
jp  [author] 30 Dec, 2019 @ 4:08pm 
Ok I will fix that soon. Thanks for the precise description; I see now exactly what happened.
Nobody No-One 30 Dec, 2019 @ 9:07am 
I think you should fix it. Basically what happened is I was standing with the cube near the cube/sphere buttons (the number 9). I dropped the cube down the hole next to the sphere button so that it would land on the button that controls the lift. But it didn't land perfectly straight so as the platform was coming up the cube got stuck.
jp  [author] 30 Dec, 2019 @ 4:54am 
@Nobody, I'm glad you made it to the end :)
Should I fix that glitch or was it due to unintended moves?
Nobody No-One 29 Dec, 2019 @ 9:17pm 
Wow, crazy map. Once I got to the uppermost area I might have done some things unintended (and the cube/sphere button that controls one of the lifts was super glitchy) but overall it was very well made and quite the experience. Big thumbs up.
jp  [author] 25 Dec, 2019 @ 6:57am 
@Mikeastro & @Kev : I followed your suggestion for showing that the underwater "sliding bars" are the same than those outside.
A "window" makes it more obvious now. Thank you :)
jp  [author] 22 Dec, 2019 @ 6:27pm 
Thank you guys! I'm very glad you enjoyed it!
Mikeastro 22 Dec, 2019 @ 6:18pm 
Now that was something else, definitely. A very unique map with some really impressive visuals and very creative mechanics. Really quite difficult to complete as well; it took me 2.5 hours but if you hadn't been so helpful, it would have taken me at least twice as long. A journey to remember - fantastic hammer work. The intro and outro Chell will forever haunt my nightmares; thank you for that. Huge thumbs up!
