Semi-blindrun (at least 4 years since I've played, took a break starting from late 2019)

Love not only the reuse of elements several times, but it feels… a lot less tedious than most times you have to redo something. Not that that’s a bad thing especially when you’re figuring out a map - it’s to be expected - but bouncing everywhere and achieving higher and higher velocities is just a good time, I think. It was very nice to solve this almost for the first time once again, although I remembered the core mechanic still. Time just forgot the layout of things. Really did like the mini-puzzle at the end though! And I REALLY loved coating the cube in blue gel to break it out of the glass - not sure I’ve seen that anywhere else besides in later entries in this series , and this was one of the first maps I’ve played I believe.

My only criticism is the tight timing you must achieve when you fling into the room beside the cube to get a portal underneath the blue gel dropper . That’s basically a ninja move and I’ve failed at it several times before. Other than that though, great stuff.

Difficulty: 5.5/10
Design: 9/10
Enjoyed: 8.25/10

I've come to expect perfection from Ben 77 and this chamber maintains the standard!!

Discovered this older map. Very challenging but rewarding to solve. Thanks.

Awesome map! The beginning is a little slow to find the way to accelerate with the blue jumps

Fantastic! :steamthumbsup::steamhappy:

Maps like yours intimidate me into making my own. I just do not believe mine will ever be that good. Thank you/

I forgot how good this map was - replayed today - what a thrill. Thanks!

Good stuff. :steamthumbsup:

Very nice. Your tests are absolutely gorgeous. That one was a lot easier than your others but really satisfying to solve

i liked all of it except the ending. there's no light source or any lead that tells you can place portals from the staircase.

Fantastic! I don't think I've seen the repulsion gel used to increase momentum like that before.

You best man!

I would've gotten through the last bit faster if I wasn't so rusty with valve physics. Well done! :steamhappy:

Great Map - loved the last fling!
henpitts Nov 20, 2020 @ 8:21am 
Wow that first part kicked my butt. I would get so close to that button. Finally retrieved the cube and that made the difference .

Nice puzzle. I got stuck on the lower section of the final part and had to die to get it right the second time. There should be a way to recover from this situation. Thanks for the challenge.

I think that is one of my favourite all time maps. Really, REALLY, made me think.
Bezil May 15, 2020 @ 10:41am 
Awesome, thank you!
Natalia TransRights Feb 23, 2020 @ 5:26am 
great puzzle
Bolun Hu Dec 10, 2019 @ 6:32am 
great!
MmmmmmhHHHhhhhhhmmmm Oct 3, 2019 @ 11:11am 
Very fun and challenging. I'm already somewhat familiar with the concept thanks to the No Elements chambers. The final part doubly so.

I was stumped for a couple of minutes at the exit part since I didn't notice the portal surfaces right away.

I love these old Aperture maps--and this one is beautifully done! Great uncommon use of repulsion mechanic and obtaining the cube!
Loveless Jan 25, 2019 @ 6:40pm 
The repulsion gel section was brilliant and meticulously designed.
Gyrant Dec 17, 2018 @ 2:02pm 
Geez. Make me solve a puzzle after you make me solve a puzzle why don't ya.
Great map!

It took me a while to figure this one out as my brain seemed to malfunction a couple of times.

Fantastic chamber. Nice use of the repulsion mechanics there. Thanks!
Villy Værgeløs Apr 19, 2018 @ 12:10am 
I really liked the first part of the map. It was really hard, the second not so much. But great map.
智子被锁死 Apr 15, 2018 @ 10:13am 
it's hard for me, but a very good task. and it's the one of the two that I need to watch video to get through. The fantastic ending need the skill I never thought before. nice job~~~~

пришлось попотеть .но я разгадал и прошёл эту карту.

That was awesome! I loved the unique use of the repulsion gel. And that ending... dy-no-mite!

Секретариат Jul 1, 2017 @ 10:38pm

Miami Mike Jun 12, 2017 @ 3:10pm 
Awesome test! I played it years ago but had forgotten the solution.

I love the "Wait, what?" moment at the end.
cakesniffer Apr 18, 2017 @ 1:59pm 
probably the most entertaining community made chamber i've played

IridiumWave Feb 27, 2017 @ 9:06pm 
Well Made. Got to be the best Underground puzzle created. Nice ;)

Amazing final!

Great map/puzzle. As I'm going backwards in time through your workshop, I did Part 4 1st, so thought I'd do the rest in order.

Exellent use of gel
