Fun map, I didn't need the portals under the bridge though

Good grief! This was a difficult one for me. I made several false assumptions and that's what held me up. Finally sorted it out, but wotta challenge.

Did it the same as Libbybapa.
Fun map.

Fun puzzle!

It was good although I solved it exactly the same way I solved Jotta's version (In which I noticed the extra elements). No need to fling to get the cube down at the start. You can just pull it down with the orange funnel. Also you can just leave it next to the portal in the bridge room and push it up with the funnel which simplifies things a bit. Regardless, nice puzzle.

Fun map. Thumbs up.

Good puzzle, thumbs up, but I don't think it's any harder than the original.

very nicw remake,took me a bit to figure it out

Great work! Pure logic. The pedistal button to respawn the cube had me confused as to how to use it, but I think it was only there in case the cube was destroyed somehow. Thanks!

Good remake. Some things different, much is the same.

an excellent puzzle, good work! 10/10

So many things to do in this one! Took me a good 50-60 minutes. Had to use your video to get a clue!
QuadStick Apr 27, 2015 @ 10:20pm 
Now THAT's a nice puzzle. A real head-scratcher.

This map does require a lot of thinking, but it's worth it at the end. Such an amazing puzzle! Thumbs up!

Great map! Lots of thinking

nice hard map .i have played lots of maps . nice to play a tough map for once

I was definitely confused for some time, unsure what to do first. But in the end a very nice puzzle that I saw no way to break.

For Portal, difficulty should test your cognative abilities extensively. Most maps I have played test reflexes more than anything. That is what I mean by difficult in the right and wrong senses of the word.
stormsend Jun 24, 2014 @ 2:44pm 
No no it was just good old fashioned logic which I'm a bit rusty on. I enjoyed the map a lot.
wildgoosespeeder  [author] Jun 24, 2014 @ 2:41pm 
Was it hard in the right sense of the word? I've seen so many maps that were hard in the wrong sense of the word.
stormsend Jun 24, 2014 @ 2:38pm 
I feel so good about solving this. It was a hard one for me. I watched your walkthrough and I did it pretty much the same way so I didn't find any exploits. I played jotta's map too. Both are great maps. Thank you.

IT'S AMASING!!!!

Pretty good, good job!

For those who were having trouble solving, added solution video.

@cyhborg
I have almost always found using an aerial faith plate as a shortcut a waste.
wildgoosespeeder  [author] Jun 15, 2014 @ 11:08am 
@georell.bracelin
That is cheating.
georell.bracelin Jun 15, 2014 @ 9:48am 
does noclip count as a exploit?
cyhborg Jun 15, 2014 @ 1:58am 
Looks better without the faith plate. No exploits I can think of so far.
wildgoosespeeder  [author] Jun 13, 2014 @ 11:41pm 
Actually, I don't know why name it confused anyways. I'll have to ask Jotta.
The Sojourner Jun 13, 2014 @ 11:39pm 
I suppose it was called "Confused [Verwirrt]" for a reason :P
wildgoosespeeder  [author] Jun 13, 2014 @ 11:34pm 
Actually light bridge jumping was the original intent but it may confuse players that don't know the trick, so I made the prompt a little better.
The Sojourner Jun 13, 2014 @ 11:31pm 
I see you prevented the hard light bridge jumping, and added the back hallway to compensate for the absent faith plate. Nothing much different imo. For further possible exploits, please consult a master player/test chamber creator such as toncica or cyhborg.

@kimist108
Nope, just a reset if you screwed up.
kimist108 Jun 11, 2014 @ 9:32pm 
Argh. That pedestal button messed me up. I thought that I had to use it to complete the map

@Tobio 3630
Credit goes to Jotta. :P
Tobio3630 Jun 4, 2014 @ 9:44pm 
Not bad. Actually had to think about it for a while. It's unclear most of the time if you're even making progress, and if you are whether it's progress in the right direction. The puzzle itself isn't very difficult when you get down to it, just unclear. Lack of direction can be used well, but if it leaves your player frustrated and "Confused", that's not always a good thing. All in all, though, well put together.

@toncica
I may have pulled a "Lawliet" with his "Time" and "Time Advanced" maps. The titles are mixed up.
toncica Jun 1, 2014 @ 1:18am 
At the time Jotta didn't object to my solution, or mabye just one minor detail. That's why I was wondering about the "advanced" part when the solutions were practically the same.
wildgoosespeeder  [author] May 31, 2014 @ 10:16pm 
@toncica
It is slightly different. See if you can spot the differences.

Mevious did something similar with Azorae's Entanglement. It still involves the same idea, just different setup. KennKong's solution to Jotta's Confused got to that one area differently than my map demonstrates. Despite KennKong's solution, the author claims it is not what they had in mind. To me, this leaves the latest edit of Jotta's map up to interpretation.

p0rtalmaster Hammered Gig's Perambulation and combined Mevious's Simplified with Gig's Quondam, called it "Crossover".

Fluppy created "The Best of Gig - Vol. 1" by Hammering it!

Mevious's Gate has been remixed quite a lot. There is one variation on the workshop homepage by Firefox as of this post's date. Most remakes are terrible.
toncica May 31, 2014 @ 3:08pm 
Is the solution really different from the original? I did basically the same thing as far as I remember. Proportions look good. Portal surfaces in the light bridge room where hard to spot when standing on the button in the stair room. At the end going into the floor portal and then coming out of the wall next to where the laser hits is quite dangerous, I fell into the water on my first run.

@Requiemsoul
My map's solution will work on Jotta's, minus the cube dropper part.
Requiemsoul May 31, 2014 @ 9:41am 
Very good and fun !. In my opinion, the original map is harder.
stormsend May 31, 2014 @ 1:10am 
Exit strategy eludes me so far. I will continue to ponder it.
wildgoosespeeder  [author] May 30, 2014 @ 8:33pm 
Fixed exploit.

The hard light bridge trick used was also used in Jotta's test, but that seems to be the only exploitive move I can think of.
