thumbs down and favorited

A map so good it was worth buying Portal 2 just so I could leave my first comment.
Something about the way the layout, logic, aesthetic, moveset, song, and of course insane complexity came together made this my favorite solving experience, and as a result, puzzle, to date. A very well spent 8 hours of bashing my head against a wall.

amazing and really hard puzzle. tokk lot of time to figure out moves.

If there were favorites among favorites, this puzzle would be there. Amazing work! Definitely something to be proud of.

too easy (i beat it in 0 minutes)

Hi its me horse. I hate this map (I have not played it yet). Thank you

Incredible! So much cool logic packed into such a simple looking layout. I love the part where you flip the laser around to use both faith plates in succession. Instant favorite!

@yelloo, Dang, very well done, this is arguably my hardest map so im glad to see you were able to get through it :), as for the NOT gate that was ultimately a compromise and was unideal, but it was much better for the puzzle then the alternative. I mostly don't like the NOT gate due to its unintuitive nature in this case.

Very difficult and very good logic, I like it very much!!! It took me more than four hours, but I think it is worth it, one of the best pictures in my heart. the red cube form the NOT gate is a good idea, like a controllable timer or toggle button .Maybe I will use it later in the drawing I like it ,thank u for creating ;p

Yeah I know this is kinda "cheating" but honestly, this is the best that I could come up with. I have seen many levels before that actually require to do a quick cube grab as a part of an intended solution. That's why I came up with the idea to even try that in the first place :D

I didnt even finish the video before posting the comment, I may fix how you did the ending because that can be fixed without making the current intended solution any more awkward

@Docentti, ah that makes sense now, I could go about fixing that pretty simply though it would make other parts of the intended solution more awkward. I think ill probably just leave it alone because it really shouldnt work logically, and it breaks 3 of the things I avoid when putting together an intended solution, that being angled lasers (through portals), tight timings, and tight angles. I kinda hate how snapping a cube through a fizzler can work even though the fizzler should instantly turn on after the connection is broken, but ah well, thanks for the insight though :)

Here is my video for the alternative solution. I'm sorry about the crappy quality here, but I think you get the idea :)

@Doncentti, im not sure I quite understand how you managed to have a setup for that to work, if possible it would be nice to see a video, or at the very least a picture of the setup before you do the quick cube grab. Either way though nice work on completing the rest of the map as intended, its definitely a tough one.

Having watched Omega's solution, mine was definitely not the inteded one! My solution included directing laser in a tilted angle in to a cube next to exit room fizzler control and making a quick grab of the cube through the fizzler before it activated again. This is how I managed to do the required cube swap.

This puzzle took me over two weeks. I played 30-60 min at a time, because this was just that damn frustrating. Time and again I ran into a dead end. I'm still not sure if my solution was the intended one but I'll take it. Congratulations for an amazing puzzle - the hardest one I've ever completed! :)

haha took me a couple days but i finished!! excellent map!!

thanks

@jandlml yep, that is a good puzzle state :)

is this step at all right? https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2756824822

@Omega yep, that's all intended :)

My playthrough: https://youtu.be/gXGTpe5qzmo
Is it intended?

Thanks for the kind words narkodes, personally I find the lack of use for the faith plate with cubes a tad bit of a let down but I can't be too upset because there already is quite a bit going on :)

Excellent map in every regard. So many satisfying moments, it's just wonderful.
I also liked the fact that some moves are possible (or seem so) but fruitless in the end (examples: cube climbing into the funnel, launching cubes on the faith plates, and so on and so forth). Btw. Phenomenal ending! .

Great update Took me a while to figure it out!

@SteemStream thank you for your feedback. I have been stuck (like 2 hours) after everything i did in the previous version, and i only know the thing i should do is to get the red laser cube on the upper level . To do this i should place the laser cube on the platform near the exit room and point to the activator to activate the faith plate . And I am considering the last move about an hour if it is intended as i am not sure... :) Thank you for remake this map with more challenges.

@tom, yep everything you did in your solution video looks intended. Nice job :)

I solved it!
Many things i did are the same as the previous version.
Now I only need to swap the cube before ending
But I dont know the last move if is it intended go to the fizzler and back to the lift

From that screenshot I can see that you were at one point on the right track, my hint to you is be very careful when losing your portal in the exit room, maintaining access to that room is vital.
