Nice hammer work and a clever, but not over-complicated, test.

Easy? Well I did get stuck for a while until I saw the stuff for first move kinda tucked away from view, from that point this is easy..

Cool map. Nice hammer work and the second puzzle was neat. Thumbs up

I instinctively used the same solution as dven for part 1. Seemed the obvious approach to me?
CLQ May 31, 2020 @ 4:44pm 
excellent. loved the puzzles and the challenge

very interesting puzzle! big thumbs up!

Oh right, also wanted to mention: the antlines in the second test are super hard to read since they intersect a bunch (and under a pile of rubble too!)

Didn't realize that the ceiling portal surface was visible from behind the fizzler. Ended up using momentum to get over the top of the fizzler in order to get the cube where I needed it in the first chamber.

Good puzzle and looks fab. I tried to completely overcomplicate the first part, then realised it was simple. Second part needed a bit of tought, but nothing too taxing. Thumbs up.

great map, well done!

Nice puzzles and hammerwork, thanks for creating!

The ending to the second puzzle felt kind of weak, but the rest was brilliant. First puzzle was really unique!
Petutski Jan 21, 2016 @ 11:01am 
It took a while, but ultimately the ahh moment came. Great work!

In the first part I did fling the cube and quickly placed the top portal to the bottom. That flung the cube back up into the funnel. In the second room you just have to try everything until you hit the right combination of moves. Quicksave helped a *lot*. Fantastic map!

The right amount of hard.

Nice custom hammer map.
wildgoosespeeder Sep 25, 2015 @ 11:31pm 
I had to look at Shakky's solution for the first part because the way you setup the first area, it looks like you don't have to fling yourself but rather the cube instead. Deception isn't fun. The second area was really clever and fun to find the solution. Overall, well done.

Did the first part of the first test unintendedly, I realized what i could have done after, thanks to a friend pointing it out. Not a bad set of tests, but in the mid point i was looking around and all of a sudden i started falling, I guess there wasn't that much to look at right there anyway. :p Visuals were nice, although everything was broken, so you might want to look into that. Didn't see any easter eggs, although i wasn't really looking, if there's a video with them in it I'd be glad to watch it. Puzzles were pretty well balanced, but a little bit of extra icing at the end would have bin nice as well, but its still good as is, definitely better then being way too long. ;-) I can't really think of anything else to say, so yeah, good job. 8/10

Good map. I have to say, it didn't take me much to solve it, but damn! i didn't find any easter egg, and i looked for them

It's awesome, worth a 5-star rating. But note there is a fatal problem. When I passed the first chamber and fell off, I'm collided with some debris and fell into the goo directly. What's worse is that it happened to be the save point.

Hi! Played some maps advertised in TWP forums. Here is my blind play! See the description for the correct time stamp.

Awesome puzzles, loved to play it ;)

A great pleasure to play. Superb visuals plus good puzzles...Thanks for mapping!
The Sojourner Sep 17, 2013 @ 3:33pm 
Found 3 of them. Is that all?
The Sojourner Sep 17, 2013 @ 3:27pm 
Oh what Beautiful Destruction...

Now to find the easter eggs :P
Akiva Aug 24, 2013 @ 7:03pm 
*Looks at walkthrough* Oh crap, I did it unintendedly.
Akiva Aug 24, 2013 @ 7:01pm 
A few easter eggs? I only saw one! GO AWAY

Good map, by the way!!!
marshmallie Jul 25, 2013 @ 10:41am 
Ah, I got stuck on the last puzzle for quite some time until I saw the portal surface by the door. Epic moment of epiphany.
moneykid Jul 24, 2013 @ 6:46am 
awesome map! tough as nails!
Gemarakup Jun 18, 2013 @ 8:38am 
Nice mapping and puzzles. This really does deserve to be a community spotlight, though I thought maps come with both HDR and LDR.
Haggis Jun 16, 2013 @ 2:38am 
Absolutely loved this map. The visuals were amazing, spent a lot of time just looking at everthing you built in this map. The puzzles were the type of puzzles i love, a bit of head scratching, then a sense of great satisfaction once you figured out what to do.
Tactical Combat Bunny May 21, 2013 @ 7:16am 
took me a whole day and then some to solve the first chamber , forgot i can actually place the portal i jump out of right again inflight.
once that was out of the way, those chambers where quite entertaining, but not difficult.
thanks, keep up the work!!
NeKz May 21, 2013 @ 7:08am 
i love it
Pyroguy May 17, 2013 @ 1:49am 
The detail is fantastic but it leaves things a bit too cluttered and claustrophobic on the last puzzle. Took me a while to spot the reflection cube on the floor, and I ran into the lasers a lot. And jumped into the goo pit once by accident.

Also, "quick aim" required on first puzzle is not nice. Could have easily done without that.
CDFLion Apr 28, 2013 @ 11:04am 
Quite immersive. I really fet as if I were a test subject. Did a Lets Play:

I'm looking forward to see more of your work.
Flup Apr 26, 2013 @ 12:59pm 
Well designed map with two very good puzzles (I've got a few aha-moments). The visuals are also very nice - this map definitely deserves TWP Spotlight!
Prototype Apr 26, 2013 @ 3:18am 
Great level, congrats on the design, I don't know if you know this but the second room can be solved without the second laser (I was actually wondering why it was there) Other than that great puzzle :)
Shane Apr 24, 2013 @ 1:21pm 
awesome

Awesome map; this is my playthrough:

It's also been promoted to the community spotlight section on thinkingwithportals.com

Thanks for creating :D

Totally missed the portalable wall in the exit room. :-P
Idolon  [author] Apr 21, 2013 @ 5:28pm 
I've added a walkthrough video (courtesy of Shakky) to the description.
presto668 Apr 21, 2013 @ 4:55pm 
Sorry, I just can't see how the second part is solvable.
Chiscringle Apr 21, 2013 @ 6:26am 
@icingdeath look at where the laser cube is near the end and then look at the bridge
Mystic Exarch Apr 20, 2013 @ 9:58pm 
For the first chamber: I really love it. Very new interesting concepts you've come up with. i've never had to do those before.

But for the second...I don't see how it's possible. Your portable surfaces have grates over them.
Idolon  [author] Apr 20, 2013 @ 8:04am 
Update! Fixed a few bugs/unintended solutions/misc issues that RectorRocks found.
srs bsnss Apr 20, 2013 @ 12:56am 
So pretty, a such a well thought-out test. One the best maps I've ever played. 10/10
n/a Apr 19, 2013 @ 8:38pm 
Holy shit that was beautiful! Loved EVERYTHING about it! I hope you get popular rapidly, cause this was perfect in design, graphics, and pacing. Man, how long did this take you to make?
KAUFLAND Apr 19, 2013 @ 4:21pm 
10/10 would play
