Good puzzle - method of getting the last cube across was innovative :)

very cool!

Good puzzle with an original twist at the end. Didn't think it would work at first.... Very enjoyable.

Yes! Great map with a variety of elements and a very unique cube manipulation! Thanks!

Thanks! I love your videos :) Have you tried Gephyrophobia? It's my newest map :)

I was searching for some map of yours to play them and I forgot to mention that I've made a blind run of this on octobre the 27 and others, this one here is it : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaqmPfeBhzU
I love your maps RectorRocks !!
Excellent job dude,

Two cons:
1) The conversion gel is a bit finnicky (minor)
2) The player can get stranded at the bases of the supporting pillars just above the deadly goo. (major)

Also, I found myself dead before I hit the water, among other small annoyances such as not being able to place portals between chambers due to unrealistic use of clipping surfaces. A little realignment with the invisible surfaces and this test is just about perfect.

Great style, really good variaty of using gels, but I think it's unlogical to cannot set the portals on platforms which I can see, but ...hm.

Keep goin'

I did give a positive rating, but I also agree with Bayram. The doors close very slowly and while standing on the button I was wondering if I am supposed to try to go through it. It didn't end well.

It isn't always obvious if a course of action is a cheat or the way things are supposed to go. The first room's solution feels like a cheat. There isn't much room for two portals on the first splash of conversion gel so as a player I don't know if managing to get two portals there is the way to go or a cheat.

Funny puzzle!

so good
Jade BGE 1 Nov, 2013 @ 1:50pm 
I loved the ending puzzle! Thanks
Nube52 30 Oct, 2013 @ 6:23pm 
First two exits not too hard but fun; Last Exit I fluked out because I just happened to place my last two portal shots very randomly just where they needed to be to ensure correct and continuous cube delivery. Try some of mine https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/profiles/76561198082574081/myworkshopfiles/
Eagleshadow 30 Oct, 2013 @ 2:30am 
Thanks for autosaves, it was a fun map!
DeathWish808 29 Oct, 2013 @ 3:17pm 
I made a blind run through 8 random front page maps and yours is one of them.

The description of the video has them in the order they were played in the video to help you find yours.

guy612006 29 Oct, 2013 @ 12:31pm 
really liked that ending, simple yet not something normal in test chambers. very well done
wildgoosespeeder 28 Oct, 2013 @ 8:37pm 
There are invisible walls everywhere assuming to restrict portal placement to other areas of the test. I also noticed if you forget to press the button to release the cube and bounce over to the exit, you can trap yourself.

Try my coop map?

@big red foot Thanks :)

@Bayram Well thats not called playing Portal. Playing Portal is when you solve puzzles. Also I never really have any intention to kill the player when they do that. I just put a clip on the door that enables and disables from the button. But that killed playtesters when they playtest it. However they didn't nitpick on it. So I don't get why are you doing so. Besides, players normally do that when enter the chamber, so if they do die, autosaves on the entrances of each chamber will bring them back to where they were. To prevent this, yes, move the button away from the door but limited space in the sphere makes it hard to do so.

@menes777 Thanks! :D
Biscuits777 28 Oct, 2013 @ 3:03pm 
dude one of my greatest maps
Bayram 28 Oct, 2013 @ 10:38am 
If the player stands on a button and a door opens right next to him, he's going to see if he can get through the door before it closes. That's not cheating, that's playing Portal. You might as well have portalable surfaces on the other side and call it cheating if the player shoots a portal through the open door. To prevent the player from doing this, you don't kill him, you move the button and the door further apart.
big red foot 28 Oct, 2013 @ 10:21am 
Enjoyed very good little map
Rector  [author] 28 Oct, 2013 @ 8:55am 
@Skullbucket Thanks! :)

@The Ninja Headcrab Thanks! :D

@Rage Heh, thanks! :)

@Bayram Thanks for your solution video. But exsqueeze me. Death trap doors? Thats just the price of cheating. If not players can just stand on the button and leave the chamber without solving the puzzle. About the anti portal barriers, I had no choice. Well I admit that I could've designed the chamber a little better to prevent this. So you could you call it a lazy map design.
Bayram 28 Oct, 2013 @ 8:36am 
Nice Hammer work, but the puzzles aren't worth bothering with. No rating. I didn't like the death-trap doors or the invisible anti-portal barriers; that's lazy and unfriendly map design, you should guide the player's actions with visible and familiar elements, not tricks. Even so, I was able to re-use the cube from the first puzzle to open the door in the orange gel room and so skip that puzzle (blame the playtesters for this). Here is a video showing my solution (second run, the first took a bit longer).
Raatis 28 Oct, 2013 @ 5:00am 
Loved it,quick,simple,easy and compact :)
Innuendo 27 Oct, 2013 @ 5:57pm 
Truly a game worth playing!
Skullbucket 27 Oct, 2013 @ 4:36pm 
clever. the last one had me stumped, but i managed to work it out. nicely done.
Rector  [author] 27 Oct, 2013 @ 4:11pm 
@Notahead Well...I didn't want it to be so easy. So yeah.

@Gemarakup Heh thanks for play(test)ing! :)

@Furchee 'n stuff Well it takes some time to go past the first chamber so you gotta be patient. Why does the second chamber make no sense? Thanks for the thumbs up though! :)

@post-mortem That's for cheating! >:)
post-mortem 27 Oct, 2013 @ 12:40pm 
I got killed by the exit door :(
Furchee 27 Oct, 2013 @ 11:45am 
The first stage is relatively stupid and the second makes no sense. That said, it's quite easy to bug it and lose quite some time simply spamming portals into walls hoping it makes results. The only one I found relatively fun was the third. Thumbs up regardless :)
Gemarakup 27 Oct, 2013 @ 9:37am 
Nice to play my testmap again. Unfortunately I don't have a screen recorder, but I made the demos before.
LoL player 27 Oct, 2013 @ 9:13am 
Yea, the first room is not as hard as annoying, it takes some time to get the gel where you want it, it would be faster with normal walls.
Rector  [author] 26 Oct, 2013 @ 8:12pm 
@quatrus Thanks for playing! Cheers! :)

@Le Reff Haha thanks :)

@BEN 77 Thanks! :D

@Dragon Align your portals properly so that you can shoot both on the gel. Once some gel goes through your portals move one portal so that it expands the gel splat and allows you to use the gel more easily :)
AAA Dragon 26 Oct, 2013 @ 7:53pm 
i cant get past the first room =(
BEN 77 26 Oct, 2013 @ 5:37pm 
Well done!
AsinoEsel 26 Oct, 2013 @ 12:33pm 
looks nice! But those invisible walls there where you can't shoot through... Urgh! >.<
:D
quatrus 25 Oct, 2013 @ 11:03am 
Another beautiful map and creative use of the 3 gels...Loved it but seemed all too short....Thanks for creating.
