Hello and welcome back everyone, to yet another instalment of Reliquiae.
I designed all the puzzles in Reliquiae in the second half of 2019.
Well, all but for some tutorial rooms in the first entries.
And except for this puzzle, of which I'd had the idea for months, but I just could not make it work.

Until last month, when I allowed myself to include the move that is now tutorialised in the first room.
I am quite happy with the way it turned out.
It is a funnel puzzle with very minimal connections and a single cube.
This will probably the last step up in difficulty - the last entries will all be about as tricky as this one :]
Also submitting this one to the DR contest because why not.

Difficulty: 3.5/10.

Of course I won't copystrike you for the music if you record your run :p
In other news: My puzzle game Sokoban: The RPG has been released on steam! Please consider checking it out!

May already be reported, but I think I found a VERY wrong solution lmao

The central trick it uses is, despite a portal anchor you can put a portal on the edge of the funnel's platform to "stop" it from going through to the other side. You then jump through, get stuck, and with a bit of wiggling around (and moving the portal) you can cheap your way into the funnel room. Once you've got that sorted it's surprisingly easy to finish the chamber.

This was a tricky one, I was stuck for maybe an hour in the second one. But oh man once I found the solution, what a rewarding feeling, only possible with great maps like these. This one and the whole map pack is going to my favorites!

Really good puzzle, that took me a while (and a look at the solution) to solve.

should've been the last map, since this is the most difficult map in the series

Nice one, my usual Before-After method of bracketing in the solve needs little tweak and extra thought on it. This is a nice chamber; I see what the prelim tutorial room was for finally. Here the steps if someone got stuck, skipping the tutorial:

0. Calling the Island with Exit on top of it as i1, island with flip panel as i2, i3 for the Polarity Reverse button, i4 for pedestal and The Cage for funnel machine.
1. Drop cube and somehow have it sit the button in i2, i4 is no longer relevant in the game.
2. Do a portal link between i1 and i3 via way of i2.
3. Get the cube to i3 sitting on Polarity by way of i1.
4. Do a bit of portal shuffling so you can Mole Pop onto the opening to get a funnel, In to The Cage via the surface below Exit.
5. Quicksave here https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2836773823 , final choreographic move and beeline to the Exit.

Man I was so clueless cause I was missing one crucial part (the moment you save the cube while keeping a certain portal). This one was the hardest of the whole series to me ^^ Thumbs up!
