I got trapped next to a death grid

cool puzzle. took time to start. fav

I know this is an old test but I just found it and made a short video of how I got through the first pair of "death-grids." It's more elegant than just hoping a cube will bounce off the edge.

Well, I thought it was a great logic puzzle; it made me think and I enjoyed it - I think @Mathey2009, who also makes good puzzles, must have been having a bad day to be sooo upset in his comments; it’s not as if you get paid for this and you’d only started publishing a week before. Any road up, I liked it all (reflection of laser in goo meant being dark in there was not a problem), apart from the way I destroyed the cube – I sort of dicked about until it fell in the goo but perhaps there’s a better way I couldn’t see.

Gigopler's early map work. He's gotten better since this map.

Thumbs down. If I could i would put two thumbs down. How in hell can you put a completely dark room with a goo pit on it? Its like u want players to die in your map.....sorry man...this is very strange for you, u make good maps.

I don't know how I feel about this test. I found a trapping spot like p0rtalmaster. I don't know if I killed the cube properly (I did it like p0rtalmaster). There has to be a better way! I feel somewhat blind running through this test. It works when things cooperate. There needs to be "helpers" or "visual aids" for some of these maneuvers you want us to do! I think Mevious perfected the art of doing just that!

A joy to solve this one. Like some others, I didn't use the funnel to destroy and respawn the cube. Just seemed easier without it.

Challenging and fun. Thanks Gig!

Simple but nice anyway

My solution: http://youtu.be/2QRJM5XMvXw

Pretty sure the first cube kill, is not as planed, but I had no idea and previously to the video it worked on first try. Anyway, I hope the rest is the way it was intended.

Nice puzzle, but I agree: rather simple. Thank you :)

Fun test chamber!

Nice one. :)

Interesting map. I applied a new option in ending the redirection cube. Not sure if that was intended, but never tractor beamed a cube to its death like this before. Took some placement testing to get exactly right so the tractor beam would grab it and the fizzler would fizzle it and not drag it away unscathed. One for the memory bank. I found that the button alignment was annoying as tractoring the cube back to *area alpha* nearly dragged me into the *area delta* fizzler before I could un-tractor myself . Maybe a slight un-alignment would help here? or does that break the map? Definitely brain food. Thanks for reeding mine. Cheers.

Not easy but it's worth of being played much by more players.

I too had to slyly portal the cube into the water to force it to get back on the button. I also noticed that the player can get trapped between the laser fields if they let the cube go too far.

Nevertheless, it's a neat test, and sorely underrated.

wow really good map

Wow, great puzzle, thank you. Very unconventional methods required :P

I did find 2 solutions. The most fun one involved bhopping over the goo to the exit. That was so hard but so fun. Probably took me like 50 tries, perfect low and high speed and perfect portal placement was needed. So hard but oOo so beautiful. Like an eagle souring through the air.

Great map i am not sure if i did it 100% right: when it is about killing the cube i dit just place a portal under the cube and another one close to the acaid, after a little playing it fell intoo the acaid and died, was that right? The rest was just a really nice and a little tricky puzzle fav and like :)

After literally 3 hours on trying to solve this puzzle I finally made it but also feel like cheating. Is this the intended solution? I used the tractor beam 2 times really close to wall to move the cube and one time i placed the cube really far on the button to make it. I feel like this was not inteded this way.Maybe someone can make a video on how he solved it? Or Gig maybe you can tell us some tips on how this was inteded?

I cannot understand how to destroy the cube.

Loved the map except that there isn't an obvious way to kill the cube and I did it in a way I don't think was intended.

I solved without the button that deactivates the laser...

Dislike having to kill myself when I get stuck in part of the map. My solution seemed to involve a lot of dumb luck. Intentional dumb luck, but dumb luck nevertheless.

What was the intended solution for getting through the first 2 grids? I only could made the cube fall in the water by shooting a portals. I still can't figure out the rest of the chamber tho. ;_:

Wonderful.

I'm pretty sure I cheated...

As you said an simple map. :)

Wow. Not easy in any way, but I guess doing it is more difficult than figuring it out.

loved it

good fun, cheers
