Sort-of blindrun?
I say “sort-of” because I can’t help but shake the feeling I’ve played this before, on Quick Play or something. Wasn’t in my queue and I didn’t give it a rating though, so who knows. If so it’s been several years, so ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

Despite the obvious exploit mentioned below that I also found on my own, this is a great test, and even within the blindrun I took the liberty of finding what I believe to be the “proper” solution. It still involves standing on the cube - how else are you supposed to get back to the starting room to employ the intended solution? Which makes the exploit’s existence all the more puzzling. That part of my solution felt a little awkward so I’m not sure if it’s intended, but it’s not really a “ninja technique” so I think it’s plausible that’s what the player was meant to do.

Simple oversight, I guess. I would have removed the grates and added a couple more portal surfaces in that area to prevent the exploit while allowing the player to get to that area from the start.

Difficulty: 3.5/10
Enjoyed: 7.25/10

A good puzzle if you ignore the obvious bypass that @bullfrog mentions.

Just gone back and looked/tried again; I didn’t do as intended first time because I didn’t use the button that turns off the first fizzler, I just stood on the cube and jumped into orange funnel to exit. The intended solution, using the button that turns off the first fizzler, is much better :)

Nice easy one, assuming I did it as intended

Well that was embarrassingly simple.

nnnoooo! I'm sure this chamber has its own great idea, but all I had to do to solve it was to stand on the cube and jump in the orange funel, which took me up to the exit. I didn't even had to use the button, connected to the fizzler. can you fix this?

Clever little puzzle, took me about three minutes to solve.

Nice and easy level, don't get the use of the light bridge anyway... Maybe I found an unexpected solution?

I found the solution but you can cheat by attracting the cube then in the disgusting so you obtain the cube then you rise above for to be in the beam which attracts for the exit. You can easily avoid this cheating by decreasing the ground. Sorry for my bad english =)

Want 21 chambers of Monoportal, I'll create 25 chambers.

What about the multiverse?

10/0 would be better...and destroy the universe.

10/9.8

Need I say more?

Great map! Thank you. 12/10 for the fun solution.
You could use spoiler text mothalius, some people acctually wants to solve test chambers by themselves and not just get the solution right away.

So aside from just standing on the cube, and jumping into the funnel and walking to the exit... The actual solution wasn't bad.

NOOO! 10/10 WAS TOO LOW D:
NeKz Nov 6, 2012 @ 8:48am 
too much? ok 9.8/10
Gigo  [author] Nov 6, 2012 @ 8:43am 
Only 10 out of 10?

It was a joke; the opening room is similar to the one I used in Utility, but that's as far as the resemblance goes

I seem to be very bad at seeing influences in maps... how is this a rip-off?

RIPOFF OF UTILITY 0/10
