very interesting map. i like how it will work with any combonation of elements

This is a very creative idea, although hard to make so many different challenges and make them all interesting. I used the lightbridge and the reflective cube, and after finding the "tiny" hole that opened, found the "puzzle" really easy.

Yeah, I thought about a way to "reset" the map, but realoading is way easier XD And there is only 8 real puzzles, but you can still try any combination ^^

I loved the 16 separte choices and the fact that it is difficult to get stuck (trapped) and the fact that you can easily bring the "object" (choice 2) up to the rooms after getting up there with the "method" (choice 1).
I though it might be nice if the player could circle around to the beginning from the exit, but completely resetting the choices is not entirely possible (example - removing the blue gel from the large room). So, I eventually concluded that a Restart is the best (and fastest) way to go back to the beginning.
As you know, there is overlap with the individual solutions (some are entirely combinations of others) but this entire concept and execution are brilliant nonetheless.
My favorite parts were getting the sphere and cube onto their buttons up in their rooms.

Thanks for playing ^^

@8MMW : Added your last map to the list ;) Will play it as soon as my PC is back from the maintenance :p

Great map, I only tried lightbridge + reflective cube but I'll surely check other. Before entering the main room I thought the puzzle will be the same regardless of items chosen, but that would be impossible :)
About the lightbridge, maybe some angled panels would make it faster than "drifting", tilting only if lightbridge selected.
I think you have already played all my other maps, so here is my newest one :)

i played it 5 times to see what happens if a different choice is made , very fun.

Yep, I think this was the idea for the light bridge ^^
It was a bit hard to make it doable with any combination, but I think the most impressive map of this kind is the one made by sheridan vespo, as he invented a unique solution for every combination of testing elements available : https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=84909417

I had to try all 16 variations of the first part; it really is at least subtly different for each permuation. That must have taken a lot of effort to get right.

It took me a few rounds before realizing I could just go up without the cube/sphere and then go back for it. I can do everything except the bounce gel ones without having to go back for the cube.

The toughest are probably the lightbridge ones, but that's just because I had to resort to lightbridge "drifting" to get up high. Is that the indended technique?

thanks!

Glad you liked the replayable aspect ;)

@JediMaster32 : Added your map to the list ^^ Will probably play it some day...

I love this map! it is awesome! I really liked how you can decide how to solve it, there isnt just one way. i have only tried a couple combinations but i cant wait to try more!

If you'd like, you can try mine here.

Awesomesauce, that's it (: Rename the map right now! So far I've only done lightbridge/cube and can't wait to try the other combos!

Thanks for the first video ;) And before you start raging on some of the other combinations, you have to know that the aim of the first part is only to REACH the opened square, then you can place a portal up there to bring the cube with you ^^

My solution for cube and lightbridge: http://youtu.be/Bbw0hKqurd8

@Metzger Ben : Well I think you only really need 4 solution videos, as the the first part is the same if you choose the same element and the second part too ;)

So 16 solutionvideos? Challenge accepted.

yeah that's it. you have to quit the map where you're at in order to get rid of it. i've accidentally hit the r key a couple times and it's aggravating losing your game.

Geneosis & tedwilliams4808
I had the same problem on single player, when I pressed the wrong key.
might have been "R" ?
if you exit map & play it again, it is still there.
if you exit steam & restart steam & play the map, it's gone.
hope this helps.
there is probely an easier way to get rid of it, but I don't know what ?
it makes the map unplayable, untill resolved. (re-start steam)

@tedwilliams4808 : If you mean the "rating menu", this is a multiplayer feature you can activate by pressing some key... Anyway did you get that in singlep layer? Or what is the problem exactly?

you're a knowledgeable person. can you help me with this. http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/558699179648186833/3222CACD4B0C385553C3CB6E45E1BF41376F40F1/ what is it and how do i get rid of it?

thankyou

Ok, will try this one ^^

Geneosis
the link below is brocken
when it worked & you subscribed, it did not appear in your list.
I deleted more items from it & unpublished / republished,
now it will load & play:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=92091917
sorry about the glitch.

Good job geneosis. You put a lot of work in this one. I used the tractor and the laser cube. i'll try another combo later. thumbs up.

yes I did like them.
deserves more than 1 thumbs up.

Well some buttons, funnels and pannels are only there for special combinations of elements ;) So they are useless if you don't use this combo ^^
Glad you liked the other ones :p

another good one
tried lightbridge / laser combo.
realised what to do with lasers,
but took a few goes to implement, as was tricky.

just played safety sphere / repulsion gel combo.
again good.
I did not understand the pedestal button's function ?
it appeared to connect to 1st tractor beam,obove.
but the tractor beam, did not work ?
I did not need it anyway.
got safety sphere into 2nd tractor beam on to button.
then jumped down to repulsion gel & up to exit
what was the pedestal button suposed to do ?

just played cube & faithplate combo.
neat firing a cube from a faithplate, that is at the other end of the map, to go into tractor beam, near me. surprised to see the faithplate / cube combo, having a tractor beam & light bridge (not complaining).
shame I can't give another thumbs up.
good replayable value map.

I will another time.
late now.
hope you enjoy my 1st map without turrets.
had a lot more in it at first, but bad lag so deleteted a lot, ran fine then.
but over item limit, deleted more.
but redesigned & am happy with it now.

Will check your map ^^ Thanks for testing this one ;) Feel free to try some other combinations :p

ps I will keep your map & try other combonations at a later time.

great map (as usual)
I only had time for the tractor beam & franking cube combination.
glad I gad tractor beam, as I was able to fly around & see where to go.
as from the ground would have been difficult.
when I through the franking cube in the tractor beam the correct way, it was then plain sailing.
please try my map I just published.
no turrets (wow, a first for me), no death traps, their is flying, puzzles & 4 red herrings (you will realise this quickly ). & hopefully fun.

Glad you liked it ^^ Sadly i didn't try your map yet -_- I just found it before going to bed yesturday and posted a comment :p Will try to play it today ;)

I chose cubes and faith plates. I really liked what u did here, man. Really creative stuff going on. Gonna jump in again and choose something else this time. Awesome map! Thumbs up obviously!

Well, it's true that I used some tricky mechanisms around there, but as I know them, I don't realise how hard it could seems when you don't know it when playing ^^"

IDK .. i had to do a lot of tricky jumps and trick my way into a platform by using a portal and jumping to de wall and landing on the tip of the room .. but im slow for some things .. some puzzles i get fast some i get slow .. its just who i am :P

Normal Cube + Faith Plate so... what was hard? The cube puzzle at the end maybe?

and by blcok i mean cube :S

i used .. block and faith plate .. (or trampoline stand .. however is called .. i used the name from the tags .. :P )

Just, what combination did you choose to be that hard?

liked this map a lot .. and took me a lot of time to figure out how to finish it .. liked the multi-choice .. very original man .. keep em comming!

Cool, thanks :)

Thanks all for feedback!

@jedimasterjake : Added your map to the list ;)

I would say this is one of your best maps yet! i would also like to ask you to try out this level of mine: The Vault (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=80019693)

This map is excellent and I'm going to add it to my "Design awards" collection. However I fail big time on the blue gel but I guess that's just me being too stupid again.

Yep, it is a main problem of complex map - how to prevent some solution without breaking other ;)

And... Well I suppose you can get the faith plate ones by speed conservation X) But I really don't see how to prevent that without making impossible the other combinations ^^"

Well cyron43 gave me the exact same remark about the faith plate/ball combination X) But the solution you found is probably the expected one : you don't have to use the angled pannel, it's only for the funnel and light bridge ^^"
