Hint: the name of the puzzle
Extra hint: yes, the name of the puzzle, because you have to Reset the cube

My solution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vZa_PGSjJI
Around 11 minutes to figure it out first time.
Techniques
respawning the cube to its original place after it's done its job elsewhere
disabling fizzlers one by one to bring the cube over
bypassing fizzlers with portals in the right sequence

Wow, This Hurt My Brain For Quite A Bit. Still Good Chamber :steamthumbsup:

Revisited this from the "introductory" pack -- I remembered nothing about the solution (just the fact that it existed in my history), so re-solved it again, with fewer issues this time around I think... experience does pay off. :P

Really cool use of the track platform.

Too easy, I didn't even overcomplicate it ^^'

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

Remembered some of the key techniques so it's hardly really a blindrun, but it is fun. Very well-designed, aesthetic, and for the inexperienced, a good exercise in portal-management and "resetting". :P
Fun fact: Played Mercury just before this. If you see me waving my camera around wildly that's in reaction to a weird glitch I've never experienced before in which some of the sounds (namely, the portals and the cubes) seemed to have been "carried over" since they sounded like the P1 sounds. Maybe it has something to do with the fact I loaded both maps directly with the "map" command in the dev console.

Difficulty: 5/10 (much easier for those who know about cube sacrifice techniques though)
Design: 10/10
Enjoyed: 8.25/10

Perhaps the simplest demon arisen puzzle I've ever solved

I like that is uses an element I dont see too much,the track platform. In a pretty nifty way to! I liked this although I found it sorta underwhelming although it might be due to the fact the name gave it away Overall though, neat!

@bullfrog Hooray! Glad these older maps still stand the test of time :)
bullfrog 12 Nov, 2022 @ 2:57am 
Still fun to play :steamthumbsup:

Not as much of a challenge as I would've preferred, but fun nonetheless
vallibus 1 Sep, 2021 @ 1:10pm 
Fairly straight forward, but still interesting and fun to solve.
Andy T 27 Jun, 2021 @ 3:44am 
Easy and elegant, one hint: a respawn is needed.
PeterLucas 3 Feb, 2021 @ 3:19pm 
One of your easy puzzles! Here's my blind playthrough: https://youtu.be/fC5tictlMHM

Fun puzzle - I liked the touch of making the player move the horizontal platform to the side first so that they will be able to stand on it and see the far portal surface.
Muzozavr 6 Oct, 2020 @ 2:14pm 
Simpler than I expected, but very clean and cleverly constructed. Seems like I have another Mevious-level puzzle maker to enjoy. :)

A lesson in reverse engineering. Thanks!
doscoder 22 Feb, 2019 @ 9:34am 
A nice casual puzzle :) Like it.
Demon Arisen  [author] 12 Feb, 2019 @ 3:56pm 
Thanks, Teo! Really old puzzle but glad you enjoyed it.
Teo 12 Feb, 2019 @ 3:39pm 
I really liked that puzzle concept, both the resetting of the track platform and the multiple cube respawns (I liked those a lot :D) . Great job
Dark Rozen 13 Dec, 2018 @ 11:52am 
Great puzzle, i found it quite easy. I noticed you are not using major elements again, but it's good anyway so it doesn't matter.
Demon Arisen  [author] 13 Aug, 2018 @ 12:08pm 
Thanks Mike! :D
Mikeastro 13 Aug, 2018 @ 10:04am 
Nice puzzle - nothing too hard
jandlml 6 Jun, 2018 @ 6:49pm 
definitely will
Demon Arisen  [author] 6 Jun, 2018 @ 5:30pm 
You're in luck, I'm currently working on one which I hope to have finished by the end of the week. Keep an eye out!
jandlml 6 Jun, 2018 @ 5:15pm 
thanks waiting patiently for a new one from you :steamhappy:
Demon Arisen  [author] 6 Jun, 2018 @ 1:11am 
@jandlml Thank you! <3 Don't worry, the fact that you play them at all is enough to make me happy.
jandlml 5 Jun, 2018 @ 6:28pm 
great map!! i dont know why i didnt leave comments on so many of these maps

@MmmmmmhHHHhhhhhhmmmm Let me just say, you weren't alone.

really nice fizzler puzzle. :p2blue:favorite:p2cube::p2orange:

Nice!
Chariot_Rider 6 Oct, 2017 @ 6:32pm 
Quite an easy chamber, though it is well polished so that's a plus.

MmmmmmhHHHhhhhhhmmmm 11 Apr, 2017 @ 12:03pm 
Was kinda stomped until I realised that you had to respawn the cube. Fun chamber.
qrioso 9 Apr, 2017 @ 9:25am 
Solved this is one in 5 minutes. May be i've already seen this concept in other maps. Anyway it's well designed. Can't wait to see your hardest/recent maps. Thanks for mapping.
Demon Arisen  [author] 29 Jan, 2017 @ 6:51pm 
@gerversluis Thank you! :)
gerversluis 29 Jan, 2017 @ 12:39pm 
Good map !
Demon Arisen  [author] 18 Jan, 2017 @ 8:27pm 
@metadavid Really glad you enjoyed it! :D
metadavid 18 Jan, 2017 @ 8:14pm 
I really like this one. an elegant solution. thanks
bullfrog 23 Dec, 2016 @ 11:36pm 
Great puzzle and good fun. As you said 17 Jun, 2014 @ 8:52am: it's kind of a "back to basics" chamber , but that's no bad thing - thanks.
lfairban 22 Sep, 2015 @ 2:38pm 
Good map, sort of easy.
stormsend 2 Jul, 2015 @ 2:45am 
Very nice easy map. Fun to solve which means it wasn't too easy. I made a video but I'm sure it's the intended solution. Thanks for a well built good looking map.
wildgoosespeeder 25 Dec, 2014 @ 1:19am 
The solution came to me quite quicky because I am very familiar with sacrifice the cube puzzles. I recommend this map as an absolute starting point to gradually warm yourself up to something like Mevious's Cache map or even harder yet, Mevious's Remorse where the action taught in Reset has to be done twice!
1980 6 Nov, 2014 @ 4:03am 
This also is quite brilliant and neat. Good job D:
dire.fcs 3 Nov, 2014 @ 3:31pm 
Nice logic chamber.
Demon Arisen  [author] 6 Jul, 2014 @ 9:44am 
@p0rtalmaster Yeah, this one isn't too hard. I just wanted to make something simple....
The Sojourner 1 Jul, 2014 @ 8:44pm 
I'd say the difficulty is beginning intermediate (~4/10), but still a nice puzzle nonetheless.
Jade BGE 17 Jun, 2014 @ 6:08pm 
Very good. I liked a lot. Thanks
Demon Arisen  [author] 17 Jun, 2014 @ 12:52am 
@chyborg Thanks! Yeah, I found it quite easy too, since it's kind of a "back to basics" chamber, but I think it is harder for less experienced players... :-P
cyhborg 16 Jun, 2014 @ 11:18pm 
I found this to be quite easy. Nice use of the rail platform.
