This was one of the few tests I just could not solve. I've tried it about 3 times, but I finally solved it after like 15 minutes of hopping around today. Really awesome puzzle, especially in hindsight. I never realized that you could see the funnel laser node from the exit . I feel so dumb haha!

As usual I ignored the map name and immeadiately fell for it, d'oh... XD though the laser angle isn't weird, just nicely hidden in plain sight :steamhappy:
Thumps up :steamthumbsup:

Actually managed to complete this one alone without getting so stuck that i saw no other option than to look up a guide.

Hmmm, I see I played this almost 4 years ago to the day, I had completely forgotten the solution. Had to work that out again, almost gave up (again), then... kapow! A flash of genius and it's done. Thanks again.

Fun logical map. Thanks!

Cool! I was wandering around, trying to find something to do that was helpful...even to the point of going through steps that I had done before that "didn't go anywhere" and suddenly, viola, the final step (or at least the conceptually difficult one) became clear. I think I was blinded to it for so long because I was "sure" that I would be riding the funnel to the exit area a second time. . Nice ah-ha moment.

Wow! Another excellent poser.

Nice one, I kinda see how the title is relevant. Thumb up.

@Teo Thanks! Well done for beating it :)

I tried this puzzle when I first got this game a few months ago and had 0 idea what was going on. Tried again today and beat it pretty quick. Great map, smart design as always

@Tronsnake Thank you! I have a personal fondness for this one, I think it's rather clever.

I honestly thought I couldn't solve this without help considering how hard it looked. But eventually my brain just clicked and everything made sense. Love it!

I love how all the maps I've played require some thinking, but they're not overly complicated. Makes for very enjoyable maps.

Wow another one, didn't take me as long. I walked through the portal, and my eyes zeroed in on the laser on the other end, and I was like ahmm yeah, I need to hit that one, not the one in front of my eyes. hehe
renktro 23 Jan, 2017 @ 7:14pm

I seriously fucking hate you for making this

Really good logical puzzle - I bet you're getting fed up with hearing that? Bumbled around for a few minutes working out what was where and where you could see it from, then had a think for a bit, got that ah ha moment and completed it. Thank you.
metadavid 4 Nov, 2016 @ 3:14pm 
Very cool map! Thank you
PixelPerfect 21 Sep, 2016 @ 3:45pm 
That"s a very fun puzzle. Thumbs up and Favorited.

@zigzagtenniscoe You're alive! :D I've been wondering where you've been for months! Yay, I'm really pleased that you enjoyed it!
zigzagtenniscoe 4 Jan, 2016 @ 12:53pm 
This is wonderful! Great work! It took me a while to find that you had to point the laser cube that was near the exit towards the laser catcher that activated the funnel and if the other one was activated it'd turned off the death lasers which you had to go through to go to the exit platform again to point the laser cube towards the exit catcher . That's what I call outside the box... very clever map! I had no idea at first that you could see the other catcher from the exit platform . Anyways, this is one of your most satisfying puzzles because of that! Have a great day :)

Very nice map! Thumbs up!!

@Demon Arisen, that's not just flattery, you are great at Science :p2aperture:
jandlml 29 Sep, 2015 @ 8:40pm 
anyone have a hint for me,i can get me and the cube to the other side.or the cube and the laser but not both
wildgoosespeeder 27 Sep, 2015 @ 8:32pm 
There is more than one valid place to activate the excursion funnel. Nice test.
Demon Arisen  [author] 25 Sep, 2015 @ 2:42am 
@Almisuifre No tricks involved, I just thought it was a cool name and it does somewhat relate to the intended solution. :p2chell:

@jgaultney I'm very glad you enjoyed it! :p2orange:

@p0rtalmaster I'm flattered, thanks very much! :p2aperture:

@RectorRocks Thanks very much, glad I managed to briefly outsmart you. :p2blue:
Rector 23 Sep, 2015 @ 3:20am 
Nice one! This one took me a good 5 minutes to complete because the angling of the laser was not that obvious for me.
Thumbs up! :p2cube:

Not failing to impress (again) :p2cube:
jgaultney 21 Sep, 2015 @ 10:01am 
I'm not sure how I managed to overlook thes map until now but better late than never. :steamhappy:
A very good logic puzzle that provided me with an enjoyable *aha* moment.
Thanks and thumbs up!!
Almisuifre 15 Sep, 2015 @ 3:14pm 
Enjoyable logic puzzle. By 'outside the box', is it implying a trick or something ? I solved it using 'regular' moves, and it seemed intended, because clear and neat. Nice work !
