I guess I was in a bad mood last night. Apologies. The puzzle and hammerization worked very well together! :p2cube:

Wow, had to check this out myself. So many moves that didn't seem like they would work. I got really far on my own, then needed a hint. Had an a-ha moment and got the chamber all solved except for the final fling. Never occurred to me to jump down from that odd lip . Was expecting more cleverness at the end, but definitely a very impressive map!

That was excellent. I have no clue how I figured it out.

Wow, that method of flinging is genuinely something I've never seen before. Super satisfying to figure out.

It's totally possible to solve this puzzle without using the button that angles the panel closest to the exit
You can just jump into the portal and onto the blue Gel beneath it and strafe on top of the platform that the orange cube comes from

This is really well designed by the way, I love the new Aperture panel jutting out of the ground, it looks totally alien mao

Good chamber, I like the open ended feeling with how you can cheese it in some tricky ways but still enjoy the proper solution which required some thought. It's rare to see a good one portal puzzle too. Good visuals as well.

Very Nice. Completely skipped the last part: After getting the cube out of the sectioned off room, I grabbed the second cube, put one of the cubes on the faithplate, gained through infinite falling enough momentum to fly onto the part with the fizzler, standing on the button activated the faithplate resulting in the cube flying towards me and the rest was just flinging to the exit.

This the most challenging mono-portal puzzle that I have found among the hundreds I have done. Most of this format are quite linear with not much thinking needed. This one was very difficult and required some help to finish. Still, I enjoyed it. Thanks.

I remember this one - it's always very cool to see very open hammerizations of the typically closed puzzlemaker maps.

comedic timing. Perfect!

You have truly blessed the workshop with this one, ducking brilliant

I loved it, it's been a while since I've played a map that had me thinking a little extra to solve it, good stuff.

Got softlock next to the first Cataplult

Amazing test! Truly the best of the best. Probably harder than medium ;)


It was hard enough that I ended up pushing at the seams a bit and succeeded in a couple of unintended things (based on the video solution):

I was able to 'cheat' the orange cube into the tractor beam area: you can get a tiny portal shot onto the funnel wall from the bottom level through the grating.

Never ended up figuring out that you need to jump from the blue gel under the dispenser to get to the second area. With enough tries and a bit of air strafing you can get there from a portal loop drop, even though you don't have much momentum.

Nice map. Not easy and this is it.

Truly an awesome gel puzzle! Thanks a bunch! :p2cube: :steamthumbsup:

Nice map -not very easy to figure out. Needed to portal while in infinity drop, F6 and a lot of tries. Thanks for creating
