Very clever puzzle

Using the reverse funnel to get to the inside the fizzler room to then shoot the laser into the cube and then take the funnel to the end was extremely clever. favourited

I forgot how good this one is

I love this map

beautiful

I came back to this after playing another map that was inspired by it. This is still an excellent puzzle; fairly simple solution, but elegant and not easy to see intended solution ?

complicated, but I was able to figure it out. It worked 3 or 4 times. Very cool

Used reversed funnel. My solution would be OK even if the pit was goo, so seems like it was the intended solution. Clever shuffling around and disabling the fizzler from different vantage points . Not as hard as a few of the previous levels in RedSilencer's collection. ;)

Awesome puzzle! My solution used the pulling funnel. Not sure how to do without it.

This was really good.

Excellent!!!

Nice one, I used the reversed funnel. I have no idea how you would solve it without it.

Very fun puzzle! Here's my blind run: https://youtu.be/6hafUA6T54o

Yep, the intended solution is still brilliant :)

It's cool but I found my way ( i can send a record in the dem file if we make friends)
Dark Rozen Apr 19, 2019 @ 5:55am 
Pretty cool map, But I didn't use the orange funnel.

You can watch full video or just find your map in discription and click at time))

I think you should fix a couple of things...
Reverse funnel button is never used

Please watch it

You know a puzzle is gonna be good when it has both the author's name and ''original'' in the title. Indeed, it did not disappoint. Faved :)

Check out another remake, Exchange by Mathey2009, it's cool too https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=106472369

Totally unintended so no spoilers, just fun https://youtu.be/3_Awm2j-6rQ

One of the best chambers out there IMO. Perfect design, reuse of elements and difficulty for pure enjoyment. Favorited!
Joric Jun 4, 2018 @ 11:29am 
Very clever, slowed me down for a while.
Nobody No-One May 14, 2018 @ 8:57pm 
I enjoyed it. Nice use and reuse of space and elements.
bullfrog Mar 1, 2018 @ 2:17am 
This is still one of my all time favourite puzzles. I’ve just played Mathey2009 version of this, Exchange, which builds a bit on your ideas and, imo, is a good version. I just read that back in May last year I said “Thumbs up and favourite intended solution”, but it looks like I forgot to hit the ‘Favourite’ button; this has now been rectified :)

what a clever puzzle. hats off. :p2blue:favorite:p2cube::p2orange:
Benzolamps Aug 20, 2017 @ 1:58am 
I can finish it without reversing the funnel. Just stand on the cube, then jump into the funnel then grab the cube quickly.
Libbybapa Jul 30, 2017 @ 10:26pm 
Very good puzzle. Thanks.
Petutski May 25, 2017 @ 4:30pm 
Excellent map. Very challenging and fun! Thanks!
bullfrog May 23, 2017 @ 1:18am 
Brilliant puzzle, if done in the intended way i.e. the intended solution does not involve either you or the cube going into the pit - @RedSilencer’s comment at 22 Dec, 2015 points out an unintended solution. Thumbs up and favourite intended solution.
lfairban May 21, 2017 @ 4:01pm 
Slick!
Veldrax Mar 24, 2017 @ 2:17pm 
Really cool map! Pretty amazing what you can do with so few elements.
qrioso Jan 24, 2017 @ 1:49pm 
Great map, so clean. I had to try for 15 minutes, then stop for 5 and retry and after another 15 minutes i got it. Very clever. Your maps are often medium/hard but very fun to play. Thanks for this.
akross.cs Jan 24, 2017 @ 12:56am 
So, for the first instance you develop an idea which strats with "what if?" and then build the entire room that fits your idea. Thats pretty remarkable, thanx for your answer ;)
Azorae  [author] Jan 23, 2017 @ 3:10pm 
@akross.cs All my puzzle ideas start with a "what if?" sort of thing where I think of a cool sequence or solution and generally work backwards to actually develop the entire room. All my maps are my own design except those where co-authors are explicitly credited, but I don't consistently put them out. I put one together when the inspiration arises. Thanks for the kind words!
akross.cs Jan 20, 2017 @ 10:55pm 
i really admire your maps, and i want to know what it takes to be able to think the way to create such a difficult maps. Do you do it complettely buy yourself or usesome kind of refferences, portal paradoxes or whatever and then combine all that stuff toghether some way? I`m not asking this to make my own maps i wantto know how your brain works in glory of science!=)
jandlml Dec 20, 2016 @ 7:58pm 
very excellent!
RedSilencer Dec 22, 2015 @ 12:22am 
Good, but broken. Possible to jump onto cube and into funnel, pushing yourself to exit
D3M!5 Dec 11, 2015 @ 12:05am 
One of your best, one of my favorites..

Read my profile before reading the rest of my comment!

Yeah I see why no goo ruins the solution. Other than that, great map. Disabling the fizzler four separate times in different ways are required to solve I I counted that right.

Try my SP map?

Cool chamber once again ^^ You like superposing testing elements don't you ? :p
kimist108 May 16, 2013 @ 2:38pm 
Yea me!
courtney May 6, 2013 @ 12:18am 
hehe you can cube jump to the end Kappa MAP_BROKEN
baphomet Apr 21, 2013 @ 9:36am 
A triumph!
Nalkahn Jan 21, 2013 @ 3:37pm 
I finaly take a look at the original map (and the very nice hammer version too). Thx alot for this very inspirating test, I hope you'll like "Xchange HM"
Azorae  [author] Jan 13, 2013 @ 1:17pm 
You described it perfectly, thanks. I'll add the goo back in soon. Thanks for finding that!
kg de muste la jumate Jan 13, 2013 @ 12:35pm 
Ok well here it is. You place the cube on the platform with the button while you're in the pit. Then later, you activate the funnel so it pushes the cube to you (while still in the pit) , grab it from the funnel, then use it to jump in the funnel (just jump off of it while on the ground and quickly grab it, not really a feat of any skill) I think you can also make the pit deeper to fix this. . I hope I described it well enough, if not I can make a demo I guess.

Use ["spoiler"] and ["/spoiler"] without quotes around the spoiler text.

Well I don't know how to hide spoilers in the comments.
Azorae  [author] Jan 13, 2013 @ 11:02am 
How did you do it? I'll try to fix whatever you did and if that doesn't work I'll put the goo back in.
