"Cripple testing" - LOL. Took me a while to figure this out (but it felt good when I finally did). Would break my legs to do it again!

I suppose a point_laser_target didn't work with aiming the laser at the relays? Since it did take several attempts for me to finally get it to aim directly at either one of them.

Otherwise a pretty awesome map!

talent

how did you manage that with the amount of softlock buttons

bro i got softlocked

Pretty fascinating concept. Pre-aiming some of the laser cubes in my solution felt a bit iffy but the puzzle was quite clever. I think more can be done with this idea!

this was very interesting and fun! i enjoyed the concept and how you used null portals.
9.9/10

fix keybind

Neat map! I'd be interested to see more puzzles with this concept, though I have my timescale keybinds set to automatically disable laser collision as well, so it was a bit annoying not to be able to run around the room at 6x speed.

mom please

this level is not very good (i am masalt mother)

that's a cool innovation

yeah, war!

Life preserver signage should only be placed on items that do not ever need to be used throughout the intended solution. In the first room, the pedestal button must be used to drop the cube so life preserver signage is misleading and should not be used there.

I put that signage there because it temporarily disables the laser as a method of anti-trapping.

You should not have life preserver signage on the first pedestal button. It is misleading for that button and makes that sign there and elsewhere nonsensical.

Very cool idea!

Nice simple map!
btw, you can hide the sv_cheats message at the beginning by running the console command "hud_saytext_time 0".

thank you nerdling

What a fun concept! Nice work both of you!

steamapps/common/portal 2/portal2/sound

Ah, I see.

How do I access the sound folder in hammer :sob:

it's just a custom .wav file placed in the sound folder with an Ambient Generic playing the audio

I love the custom voicelines! How did you plop them into hammer??

you are literally nodraw stop talking

hmmmm, this map looks like it was pulled from a Divinity

worked perfectly for me! What a hilarious way to introduce the "no jump" mechanic. And it is infuriating in a funny way. I like the puzzle aspect, seems appropriately explored. I guess we can thank Dido for that. Great job guys!

My back feels better now.

Amazing map. Love the voice acting and dark sarcasm.

Like so many have said, The laser angles are a massive pita. Having to redo the whole thing if you mess up the last cube really sucks.

Overall

laser collison my beloved

Music looping fixed. Sadly could not find a way to make the relay hitbox larger.

Something different.

very cool concept! but in the last part if you fail to put the laser correctly before crossing it to go to the exit you end up needing to do everything again

GREAT MAP! however... masalt...

Great map work - check!
Great concept - check!
Deviously simple yet elegant puzzle after much trial and error - check!
PITA laser angles - check!
Voice Acting - yes, there was voice acting

Overall:

Really nice concept

i will never fix my mic

pretty neat, second test was pretty decent but as everyone has said before, wtf are those long derailing angles, unfortunately I don't see an easy fix additionally the music cuts out after some time and never repeats, not to go on a long rant, but I think some more portal like up and down sound or other dystopian type thing could help, lastly, masalt please turn down your mic volume, and maybe use a robotic affect, they do exsist, anyway, decent stuff, interesting concept, and a decent execution, well done you two :).

Haha, never thought of using laser collision to enforce solutions like this. Although I recommended disabling crouch, as you can go under the laser and may cause skips. Funny!

I hate the laser line up, and definitely no bhop exploits

Played the map, cool concept, but angles fucking suuuck
Here's my blind playthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6pxwGV5R8s

good puzzles.

I wasn't expecting such a clever puzzle from what I thought was just a silly joke map at first. I also quite like the visuals, especially the second chamber.

I agree

this map sucks
