Steam Community :: THE idea

lfairban 29 May, 2017 @ 11:51am

OK, I did it a little differently. I put speed gel on a bridge coming out of the last slant pannel, backed up for speed and dropped the bridge to the next pannel over.

Geneosis [author] 9 Sep, 2013 @ 1:53am

Yep, that was exactly the expected solution ^^ Thanks for the video ;)

My solution: http://youtu.be/h624poK7Gb0

No idea, if that was your idea, but it worked after a few attempts.

I like Smoke And Mirrors or Houston We Have a Problem. Thanks

Geneosis [author] 26 Jul, 2013 @ 5:03pm

@stormsend : Feel free to propose one of your maps when you play one of my #F4F maps ;) You also made a lot so it will help if you select some of them for me to play ^^

stormsend 26 Jul, 2013 @ 5:00pm

Sweet. I played around spreading gel everywhere and then when I saw it I had to laugh at myself. Very good idea. Thanks and I hope to see ya round the workshop.

Rei 12 Dec, 2012 @ 3:01pm

Got an Idea and out! ^_^
Well, just like G915 and happy for you, it's again the intended solution! Nice work!
Happy studying! See you someday in my maps #F4F
(I think, meanwhile you can add all of my maps now *grins*)

Geneosis [author] 9 Dec, 2012 @ 4:51pm

Thanks all for playing and feedback ^^

@8MMW : Added your map to the list, but I'm not really playing for the moment, too much university stuff to do first ;)

8MMW 9 Dec, 2012 @ 8:36am

It took me some time to solve, I made it the same way G915 described ( I put one portal over the bridge emmiter and the other one on the angled panel ). Good map!
If you have some time you can play Funnel Joystick + , it's not hard, but I hope the idea is interesting.

Leo 21 Oct, 2012 @ 1:15pm

Ok I needed 15min to solve this (intended). I had different ideas, but they didnt work ^^. Nice map! I liked it, thumbs up!

I republished my franken map and made sure that the light bridge do not stop in air now =)
If you have time please feel free to test the final room again or another map of mine. :]

carol 13 Sep, 2012 @ 10:53am

Neat! Slightly confusing to start with but a nice idea that makes you think.

Geneosis [author] 28 Jul, 2012 @ 3:38am

Oh, well done ^^ This is a not really expected solution, but well this also requier to think a moment so I will keep it :p

mechtakendall 27 Jul, 2012 @ 7:31pm

Hmmm, looking at the way G915 did it, I can say I didn't do that. I got the blue gel out as far as I could, just as he said, but I made sure it splattered on the wall as well. Then using the other angled panels I painted the area towards the middle with speed gel. Now, using a speed gel runup at an angle to the area of blue gel on the floor and the wall, jump from the gel on the floor into the gel on the wall. The angled jump will carry you catty corner across the room, but it will also put you on the far side. The rest is the same.

Geneosis [author] 27 Jul, 2012 @ 5:51pm

@mood3rd : Really don't know about the bugs of your game... Don't seems to be realted to my level, other people didn't notice that ^^"

@all : Just tell me if you used any other method than the one described by G915 ;)

mood3rd 27 Jul, 2012 @ 1:23pm

very clever.
don't know why, but when I hit quickload,
portal (not steam) quit ?
not even on task bar.
re-started & played.
but also stuck in lift, black screen, with ocasional flashes of light.
I found it hard, but the lack of possibilities, was very helpfull.

Zapperlott 19 Jul, 2012 @ 11:41am

Nice chamber! I had fun experimenting with this..
Thumbs up!

mechtakendall 2 Jul, 2012 @ 9:13pm

Nice puzzle, a bit tedious, but enjoyable. Difficulty 5/10 Design 7/10

Geneosis [author] 26 Jun, 2012 @ 8:49am

@G915 : That was exactly the expected solution, good work ;)

Captain Quakas 26 Jun, 2012 @ 8:41am

Hi, nice chamber! I pointed the laser at the bouncy gel laser catcher, placed the funnel at the furthermost angled panel so I can get the blue gel as far as possible, then pointed the funnel at the bridge and painted it with orange gel, placed portal at the other end of the bridge and the same angled panel, jumped across and moved the cube using the funnel.

Le Petit Mort 21 Jun, 2012 @ 5:46pm

Good bit of ingenuity on display here.

Geneosis [author] 28 May, 2012 @ 3:00am

@Boojum Yeah the faith plates are just quick ways to come back to the platform ^^ But only one in the center may propulse you into the lazer X)

Boojum 28 May, 2012 @ 12:51am

I think that I had the same solution as most others, judging by the spoilers here. Having four faith plates that go to the same spot seems a bit strange. I ended up trying all four just to make sure one wasn't slightly different. Perhaps just one in the center?

Geneosis [author] 27 May, 2012 @ 2:52pm

No problem ^^ This is not the aim of the map to search the cube XD
I updated the map to make it fall in a visible place ;)

Goose 27 May, 2012 @ 2:47pm

Haha, its fine. I just use quicksave and quickload instead of restarting levels so I guess I got unlucky the first time it loaded and then I never restarted :p

Geneosis [author] 27 May, 2012 @ 2:41pm

@Goose : Ok sorry, I thought the cube had more chances to fall on the visible side X) Will just move it.

Goose 27 May, 2012 @ 2:07pm

There is absolutely no reason to have the cube behind the platform like that. I literally spent 15 minutes waiting for my "BIG IDEA" to explain how to change the laser path without a cube or portals.

Geneosis [author] 25 May, 2012 @ 8:26am

@kikar Thanks ^^ And sorry about the cube : I thought it could be a good idea to hide it a bit ^^ But this point is actually random : the cube have chances to fall on each side of the pannel when you enter the chamber ;)

kikar 24 May, 2012 @ 7:14pm

I like the use of putting gel on a light bridge. I had a similar concept in my head, so it was fun to see a good implementation. I was some what frustrated by the hidden cube behind the panel.

Geneosis [author] 19 May, 2012 @ 2:39pm

Really fun yeah ^^ I fixed the two "exploits" you found, you can do a last try if you want :p
My first idea was to place the bridge in the pit and to make the player put red and blue gel on to go out the pit... But after a long reflexion, the player could always put blue gel on all the bridge and multi-jump to the exit X)

Ladicuis 19 May, 2012 @ 1:52pm

Level making is fun, isn't it.

Ladicuis 19 May, 2012 @ 1:51pm

Maybe it will work too with a horizontal bridge and a fizzler? Makes it easier.

Geneosis [author] 19 May, 2012 @ 1:51pm

I think I can fix this exploit by moving the lazer-relay on the other side... But for the first one I need to think more about it...

Geneosis [author] 19 May, 2012 @ 1:48pm

Well I think you got the expected solution! And you cheated it a bit...
The exact idea is to activate the bridge and close the out door, then put red gel on the bridge, place a portal on the angled pannel and the other on the top of the bridge generator, then run in it! And once you are on the other side, use the funnel to put out the cube and open the exit door ;)

Ladicuis 19 May, 2012 @ 1:43pm

Oh then it might work on walls but thought I tried that too. Also tried something cool that almost worked. Was able to point the laser to the exit sensor, but with the bridge active, then put red gel on the bridge and ran of that. But it was a bit shaky solution.

Geneosis [author] 19 May, 2012 @ 1:39pm

The red gel is not for the floor... And there is no many other places where you can place it ^^

Ladicuis 19 May, 2012 @ 1:31pm

did try red gel on the floor too but the blue gel didnt get me high enough

Geneosis [author] 19 May, 2012 @ 1:30pm

Oh! This is not the solution I expected, but nice one ^^ I don't know if I can fix it... Because you really need this panel for the "real" solution X)
To be precise the first part is ok, blue gel on the floor. But then you are supposed to use red gel... If you want you can try to find the other solution ^^

Ladicuis 19 May, 2012 @ 1:26pm

made the angled panel blue then jumped on it and the floor in the pit was blue and bounced once to get to the other side

Geneosis [author] 19 May, 2012 @ 1:20pm

Hem not sure about the last part, how exactly did you jump far enough ?

Ladicuis 19 May, 2012 @ 10:15am

Took me some time to find the right solution, tried various things. the following worked:
blue gel on the floor and on the angled panel closest to the wall, then jump on the panel

Portal 2
