The map is good, but there's one critical shortcoming... This test plays out in an outdoorsy place with a clear view of the night sky, yet when I shoot the moon with my portal gun (like you do in the hit video game Portal 2™ which this map is made for), a portal did not place there. If you have not finished the main campaign of Portal 2, this critique is irrelevant to you, but for one who has finished it, the disappointment I felt nearly overwhelmed me. Despite this, I pressed through, ignoring this colossal (albeit minor) blunder, and I quite enjoyed the map. I pray that others like me will also overcome this test of spirit, because beyond this small mistake, the test is good! The puzzles are well thought out, challenging, and the game environment looks great. It is enough to warrant a thumbs up despite it's minor oversight on being accurate in accordance to Portal 2™.

cool map, not sure if i solved it the intended way though (not thinking with portals)

Very nice map! I found it easier than number 8 (mainly because the world portals in this one were easier to wrap my head around), but there were some very clever moves at the end and some nice portal management throughout. And of course the aesthetics were beautiful. Big thumbs up!

Awesome puzzle! The problem to me wasn't not knowing what to do, but not getting how to do it, or how to put the portals on the right places to do it :P

That's awesome! I'm glad you were able to figure it out. What did you think?
lucas.zastrow.1994 3 Mar, 2024 @ 9:44am 
I did it! Before reading the hint :)
Mesos  [author] 3 Mar, 2024 @ 9:16am 
If you want a hint, think about what you had to do in the first chamber, you’ll have to use that move again

It does not feel like I am
Mesos  [author] 2 Mar, 2024 @ 8:46am 
Sounds like you’re making good progress!

Ok, I've played again: on the door number 9, I was able to either get up the platform, but 2/3 buttons activated, or down the platform with 3/3 buttons activated, I don't understand how I'm going to take off the cube on the beam direction button when up there, or how to get up there when the beam is on the wrong direction.

Idk if it's the final door, but I am able to get the 2 needed cubes near to it, but not in the top of the platform, or only one of them on the top, not both at the same time. I'll try again sometime.

It is indeed beautiful work and the puzzle was challenging - well done. Thanks for creating

The map is awesome! Eventually I solved, but it was quite hard for me. It took more than 3 hours to solve. :)

It's a hard level, but it is possible. Think things through step by step, make a list of moves that are possible, and start ruling out the ones that don't help you.

A few people have given it negative ratings, but I'm honestly not sure why. My only guess is that they weren't expecting the challenge when they first played it, so they got frustrated and left a negative review out of spite when they weren't able to figure it out.
Mesos  [author] 17 Feb, 2024 @ 6:33pm 
Thank you! That's the nature of high difficulty levels. The workshop rating system rewards easy, thrown together levels, so the good ones get buried.

This map is severely underrated and deserves more attention

Yeah, I'd need to see a walkthru to figure this trippy map out. The aesthetics are superb and the first chamber is straight forward but the 2nd blew a fuse in my head.

You definitely broke my brain, but the map is very pretty :steamthumbsup:

You’d have to figure out a way to black the laser while you’re in the cave

Insane map, didnt manage to finish, i'll give it a shot later, was too difficult for me.
Btw how can i get to the secret room? (yes i was noclipping)
Mesos  [author] 11 Feb, 2024 @ 12:02pm 
Keep in mind that this was designed to be a difficult level.
Mesos  [author] 11 Feb, 2024 @ 12:01pm 
Could you be more specific?
lucas.zastrow.1994 11 Feb, 2024 @ 11:26am 
It might be bugged, I can't find a way to beat it in GeForce now
