Hard Difficulty #8

Description

Two chambers

The entire test is classified by HARD, especially because of the second chamber. If you not found it hard, congratulations, you are miles ahead by solving puzzles compared to amateur and casual people.

About the puzzle difficulty

The puzzles difficulty can be variable for each person. The calculation of the difficulty is based on three things.

- First, the time that you can solve the test. 1-2 minutes is easy, 2 - 5 minutes is medium, 5 - 10 minutes is hard and more than 10 minutes is a very hard chamber. The time can variable depending on the size of the chamber. The time is based on each chamber, not the entire test.

- Second, in a example, if the first chamber is easy, but the second is very hard, I can say that the puzzle is hard.

- Third, the difficulty is compared to the games Portal Stories: Mel and Portal 2 too. In another words, I use they as reference to measure the difficulty.

Portal Stories: Mel (Advanced Mode): Very Hard for most of the people.
Portal Stories: Mel (Story Mode): Hard.
Portal 2: Medium.

So, if you find the test more easier than some tests in Portal Stories: MEL in advanced mode, probably the test is Hard/Medium/Easy. Obviously this difficulty is for people that will play for the first time both games. I bet that you found Portal 2 medium and Portal Stories a lot hard on the first time.

Please, leave a comment, tell me what do you think about the maps. Try to report errors or breaking puzzles. Your feedback is very important.

FIXED: a major breaking puzzle issue with hard light bridge. Had to modify almost the entire second part of the second chamber, I'm sorry guys. In compensation, unfortunately now the test became way more difficult. Hope you guys understand.

Hm, the Puzzle, the logik ist very easy, but you need the ideal timing.

It´s okay you make Timing and Movement Puzzles, but then name it so. It´t not a normal Logik test, the Logik of this Test is easy.

In general the difficulty can be variable, but most of the tests uses Portal Stories as reference to measure the difficulty. If you found this test less harder than Portal Stories on advanced mode, then this test is only hard, not very hard. I explain better in the description.

I think it's more about how you experience the test. We all go about it differently. Harder for some and easier for others. It's all good; and so's the test.

dcook this part is not too hard. You didn't have to go back 7 steps to pick up the funnel again. Just see my video solution, it's more easy than you say. OMG if it was always to pick up the funnel, then I should put this Very Hard. But just be next to the door and when the button is pressed, whenever it will be static on button or not, the door will keep open. That is the trick that you could use.

Ok.. giving this a thumbs up.. it was a hard test. Patience is a virtue in the first room.. the second.. well let's just say it wasn't about thinking as much as it was about how to execute timing.. and the frustration that comes with knowing the solution but having to go back 7 steps because you didn't do it exactly right the first time.. The Logic is sound.. but getting the door open was a pain in the a$$... FUN map :-) Keep 'em coming. :-)

Understood.

First chamber was definitely harder this time.

Jade BGE, the difficult is only pure logic, not platform jumping to avoid deadly goo, jump precision or physics puzzle (rarely I use that). Probably you already played Portal Stories: Mel. The logic puzzles are very difficult for someone that plays for the first time, but the game isn't. The difficulty is based exactly what you said, perception and timing, not deadly, physics or precision challenges (like many PeTI maps that appear in the workshop page). If I use these 3 "cancer" options, I will use with caution to make it fun, not boring. Thank you for your comment and feedback!

Enjoyable map! The solving itself I did not find too difficult. It's the depth perception and timing - I'm not too good at that. Good job and thanks.
