Nice series of challenges. You're on a roll.

Different, tricky!

While a good level, there's an extremely easy way to bypass the while level. Feel free to message/add me so I can show you, if you wish to fix it

Lots to like about this one. Good job!

Still exceptional work!
Still :steamthumbsup:
And still favorite!

Yes, the faith plate can change how it feels between you and the cube. LOL. Thanks for playing.

Nice. The faith plate took a bit (despite the signage) and I don't know why but the second puzzle just had me confused for a bit - but that makes it fun when you get it ;-P

Very nice, fun playing! Could be a bit more difficult, nevertheless well designed, thank you!

I missed the platform at the very last momentum puzzle

You forgot to close an invisible wall near the lone platform on the higher part of the 2nd sub-level. From there I can jump to the near metal frames and walk in the out-of-map secret rooms.

Easier than part 2 but still really cool

Excellent:-D

Awesome!

Cool atmosphere, good puzzle, fun time. Thanks. I think I did it wrong, but I did it, so I'll take the win before you beat me over the head with another great level. :steamhappy:

Once again, another excellently designed puzzle and map! I liked the rotating faith plate - clever!
Besides overthinking the last puzzle ( my bad :steamfacepalm: ), I had a lot of fun playing this.
Another favorite!
:steamthumbsup:

Sadly I couldn't figure out the last puzzle, but did figure out how to cheat it.

You can jump through the white wall above cube-spawning room and walk around on the roof. From there you can activate the sideways button with the cube and easily jump into the room behind the deactivated fizzler. I still have a portal with an excursion funnel in that room, so I used it on the lower portal surface to get on top of the slanted portal surface. From above the slant, I was able to jump down with enough momentum to launch myself off the slant and to the end.

Good level tho :p2wheatley:

I got the puzzle out thank you. I note the faith plate had a yellow light which always means it is not working but it worked anyhow. Also, it only works in one direction. As a result I too grabbed the cube.

Hi one of the fizzler prop was miss placed.
IJabFreely 5 May, 2022 @ 12:38pm 
You got some skills, Skyferret. This are really well made maps.

A fun puzzle and not too hard since there are alternative paths. Thanks.
Skyferret  [author] 28 Apr, 2022 @ 9:04pm 
And when people find alternate solutions it's good for future reference and what to watch for.
Jelleh95 28 Apr, 2022 @ 7:54pm 
It's all good, it happens sometimes. Alternate solutions aren't always a bad thing, though. Open-ended puzzles are great, so long as the alternate solutions are less obvious and/or require more skill than the intended solution.
Skyferret  [author] 28 Apr, 2022 @ 7:43pm 
Just one of things I miss now and then. Which is keeping the cube out of reach.
Jelleh95 28 Apr, 2022 @ 7:31pm 
I also solved the first one bullfrog's way. Here's my thought process while playing, maybe it will help:

1. I see the catapult.

2. I step on it to see if it works, since there ARE inactive catapults in the main campaign. It doesn't.

3. I assume it also won't work with cubes, since there AREN'T catapults in the main campaign that only work with cubes. Based on this assumption, I don't test the cube.

4. I solve most of the puzzle the intended way. I end up on the platform with the button and exit, but no cube.

5. Based on my previous assumptions and experiential context, I am unaware that the catapult's orientation implies that I have to use it to move the cube to the exit.

6. The portalable surfaces on the second platform are close to the moving scaffold. I simply lift the cube off the redirected laser while standing on the scaffold. I carry it to the exit button.

Fun map! Thanks
stormsend 25 Apr, 2022 @ 6:34pm 
Very nice. Difficult for me.
zeo1337 17 Apr, 2022 @ 12:17pm 
I should specify that the cube and buttons are not even needed in the final room. Just jump into the funnel from the top of the portal panel, and come out the top. Walk through the fizzler and fall into the pit to fling across.
zeo1337 17 Apr, 2022 @ 12:13pm 
I liked the faith plate idea, but the last chamber seems like it has a lot of unintended moves. Also i'm 3/3 with getting the cube :D https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1829033288667504161/1F85B1856A8FBD5ED13AD6E47296427939B2B8CB/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false
zeo1337 17 Apr, 2022 @ 12:03pm 
You can also easily see and get on top that room using the upper portal surface
zeo1337 17 Apr, 2022 @ 11:59am 
There is a misplaced fizzler edge piece on the tilted room with the cube and funnel. It's not in line with the fizzler.
Winnie Wheatley 15 Apr, 2022 @ 11:07pm 
Awesome map! This catapult is a cool mechanic. :47_thumb_up: :47_thumb_up:
Der Bejijing 13 Apr, 2022 @ 1:19pm 
Nice. I don't know if that modified faithplate is a previously unseen mechanic, but I liked it!
Great atmosphere, like in the previous ones. I really liked the dilapidated and wonky design of the last chamber. It looked awesome.
joe98 11 Apr, 2022 @ 8:50pm 
I too did not understand the faith plate so I too solved that bullfrog's way. In the second room there is an ant line that I did not understand. After some mucking around I took a guess as to its meaning and then got the map out thank you.
Portalized 11 Apr, 2022 @ 5:10pm 
Tricky - fun - thanks!
quatrus 10 Apr, 2022 @ 10:19am 
Smooth and nothing ninja to get to the end of part 3 - well done. Love the rotating faith plate. Thanks for creating.
bullfrog 10 Apr, 2022 @ 12:55am 
@jgaultney (and @Skyferret) I didn't fully understand the functionality of the faith plate, i.e. it works for the player in one direction and the cube in the other, even though, looking at the signage now, it is obvious xD Anyway, the intended method a better solution :steamthumbsup:
Fuku Yamama 9 Apr, 2022 @ 10:26pm 
Getting trickier, but also more fun.
Andy T 9 Apr, 2022 @ 9:38pm 
Done, nice one; bit harder than the last, even the rotating plate is throwing me off my game. Though shouldn'/t you bring up GLsDOS quip on the weight and threw player just a tad short if they gone the wrong play?
jandlml 9 Apr, 2022 @ 3:35pm 
excellent!
Skyferret  [author] 9 Apr, 2022 @ 9:12am 
@jgaultney.....You actually did it by the intended solution. If you used portals to make the cube fall onto the catapult and send it to the exit, that was the right way.

But all the feedback does help in the future to know what to watch for.
jgaultney 9 Apr, 2022 @ 8:14am 
I solved both a bit different from @bullfrog:
I used the rotating faithplate twice. The second time to deliver the rc to the exit.
In the second puzzle, I didn't ride the funnel up to the angled panel that faces the exit.
I just entered a portal on the red X in the lower area and exited a portal in the ceiling
next to the angled panel.
bullfrog 9 Apr, 2022 @ 1:40am 
Something didn't feel quite right about this one, so I'm not convinced that I got your intended solution ?
