Simple test once you realize that the light bridge projects onto a portal surface. I wasn’t quite sure what to do before I realized that fact. The indentation and placement of said surface doesn’t particularly help the visibility of that, not many people just go to the exit door for no reason when there’s stuff to do further back in the chamber.

Still, this is a nice beginner test to ease someone into the cube sacrifice mechanic with.

Difficulty: 2.75/10
Enjoyed: 7.5/10

Pretty little one. Let you think a bit.

Hard but not overly so, enjoyed the game:

Step 1. Drop and obtain the only cube.
2. Lower fizzler #1 so you can take Cube to lower fizzler #2.
3. Go lower fizzler #1 and past a portal from the mid section to the elevated back.
4. Get hold of that LB, and go to where the Cube Dropper is by elevated LB.
5. Put the child portal right below dropper and respawn.
6. Reuse the child portal and get hold of laser, go through with the Cube waiting for you on the LB source and you have beeline to the Solve.

Still a great puzzle. Seems so easy now, but it didn't 3 years ago.

I had to watch the playthrough and wow that was an impressive puzzle!

Very nice. Had me running in circles for a while.
MmmmmmhHHHhhhhhhmmmm Oct 13, 2019 @ 2:42am 
Like Calwin with a W said, it was fairly straightforward. Very nice though.
Calwin Sep 26, 2019 @ 8:40am 
good one, pretty straightforward.

Nice!

Clever map.

Took 30mins, pretty nice map, i love it
bullfrog Mar 27, 2017 @ 2:11am 
Still a brilliant puzzle. 2nd thumbs up and now 'favourited' also :)
jandlml Mar 8, 2017 @ 6:27pm 
excellent!

Very good design. Your maps are always fun and challenging to play, but not frustrating. Took half an hour to finish it. Good job.
TaiMai13 Jan 17, 2017 @ 3:30am 
Top notch as always Ben. You are truly one of the best map makers around!
bullfrog Jan 17, 2017 @ 1:49am 
Brilliant. Took me a while, but finally the penny dropped.
Petutski Jul 12, 2016 @ 2:15pm 
Still great after all these years (2)!

A++

Very easy, nothing special.
eszter Feb 22, 2015 @ 2:46am 
i love all your tests so much - always beaming after figuring out what to do =)
Petutski Aug 3, 2014 @ 4:18pm 
Excellent!

Nice map, nice theme. There's still an exploit (although a small one) where using the lightbridge after placing the cube on the buttom, where you can jump from the lightbridge placed infront of the glass wall right at its edge, move sideways and hit a portal on the lens cube drop panel . It's only small, and still uses the lightbridge effectively as intended, just with a slightly different series of steps. Thumbs up. Thanks for making the map. Cheers.

Even once you realize what to do, it still feels confusing. At the end, I was pretty much like "Okay then. I just solved the test."
Stuntmanmyke May 4, 2014 @ 7:21am 
all your tests are great dude !
Oz Wizard Apr 26, 2014 @ 10:45am 
I liked it :) Thanks!

Best Map I have EVER played. Seemingly simple - by dastardly tricky.
BTW - in your walkthrough video at 33 secs . . . a Laser mysteriously appears coming out from where no Portal exists and it comes out at an angle of approx 45 degrees. What in the world ?
Again - BEST MAP EVER
quatrus Feb 9, 2014 @ 9:54am 
Wow, been playing your maps - outstanding, and this one was as well - great puzzle with the cube....Thanks for creating....
DeathWish808 Dec 24, 2013 @ 11:42am 
Yes, that was not a blind run. As he said, it's just his solutions, as you can see he already knows where everything is and already rated them up.
It took me about 12-14 minutes to complete both of them first run.

@BEN 77
It looks like josepezdj's video is practiced. But then again, I heard that his content is very difficult or "too pro" along with two others similarly (marKiu and chander).

@ josepezdj : I looked over all the videos. Are you an experienced player. Thanks for the playing!
josepezdj Dec 23, 2013 @ 3:01am 
WOW... awesome puzzle! I enjoyed much solving this one, man! Altogether with the second Reconstruction Test. Thanks for creating!

My solution to both tests
DeathWish808 Dec 19, 2013 @ 8:40am 
Not bad. Clever little test!

It appears your reconstruction-themed chambers like this one are fairly easy to solve compared to your other works. Well done.

P. S. The deer is a lie.

Awesome map, thumbs up from me. Excellent puzzle combined with great visuals. Keep up the good work!

The most intelligent map I've played (from about 50)!
BEN 77  [author] Aug 8, 2013 @ 4:43am 
Thanks for the video! My solution is in the description. Series "Reconstruction" will continue.
Rector Aug 7, 2013 @ 8:38pm 
Awesome map! But the puzzle was too short. I wanted another one behind the door :(
Here's my playthrough:

(Not sure if I solved it intendedly)

Thumbs up! Thanks for mapping!
Cheers! :)

Very nice puzzle, and excellent mapping! :p2aperture:

кстати я заметил что ты выкладываешь скриншоты с порталганом, если хочешь сделать без него то в консоли пропиши r_drawviewmodel 0 и чтоб не был виден курсор cl_drawhud 0, чтоб вернуть замени на 1 нули
raycelbelmond Aug 6, 2013 @ 4:52am 
Great map. Try one of mine Maybe ''Denis'' or ''Katie'' Raycelbelmond

@Gemarakup :Yes, it's my error. I'll fix it. Thank you!
