Very nice challenge and that fizzler effect is interesting. I have to start paying closer attention to map titles, ha!

well i made it to the door and then realized oh no i need a cube. i dont think i would have figured that out on my own. sneaky . but i did manage to get out .

Unique map. More trial and error than logic. Not my preference. Very annoying. Thanks for your work. Your pure logic maps are much more fun.

Cool looking tunnel with all the fizzler screens. I did get a hint from mikemoody's comment.

Well I got the 2 cubes and turned on one of the X markers, and that was it. So I watched the video and still was unable to backup holding the reflector cube. Oh well at least I know it can be done. Good looking map and a real good puzzle. Thanks.

nicely designed map, almost made the old grey goo send out smokesignals... and great name for the map

@quaternary
Yes the laser is available for portaling at the exit.
quat Feb 7, 2015 @ 7:41am 
But if you take the cube over the fizzler you don't have the laser.

idk, just a thought.
wildgoosespeeder  [author] Feb 6, 2015 @ 11:51pm 
@quaternary
Because I can bring the cube over the fizzler? That and the trippy effect wouldn't be there. I like that effect.
quat Feb 6, 2015 @ 10:19pm 
Yeah but I mean, why not like this .
wildgoosespeeder  [author] Feb 6, 2015 @ 9:56pm 
@quaternary
Only way to create a fizzler "volume" (3D) in-game editor. Each fizzler is limited to a fizzler "area" (2D). Technically a single fizzler field has a volume but practically it is an area.
quat Feb 6, 2015 @ 9:38pm 
I think this is a new record for number of fizzlers in one map, lol. Sixteen of the things.

Thumbs up! Chamber is named correctly!

@foxy
That isn't me playing. That was DeathWish808. Ask him.
Knees Jan 18, 2015 @ 8:42am 
how did you get your portal gun like that (in the video)
Near Jan 5, 2015 @ 1:24pm 
Great idea.

I always give credit to parts that weren't my doing. ;)

We didn't simultaneously work on the map, wildgoosespeeder just modified one of my maps to feature a cool mechanic he stumbled across while playing my original map (toggle hall). He added me as a contributor to the file since it was a modified version of my map (and cause he's nice).

To each his own. It was merely an experimental idea I accidentally came across playing Goose's chamber. I feel like my place for creating maps for the workshop are either trying new things for more experienced map makers to create a more elaborate puzzle out of or remixing existing ideas with a wildly different solution. Here's a collection where I log people who have borrowed my ideas:

I have remixed others' maps into my own creations:

how did 2 of you work on the same map
Robyn Jan 2, 2015 @ 4:13pm 
I dont mean to be mean
Robyn Jan 2, 2015 @ 4:13pm 
I solved it yes but it was not as fun as some better maps
wildgoosespeeder  [author] Jan 2, 2015 @ 4:10pm 
@logan weisz
...but the ultimate question is did you solve it? What wasn't fun about it? Was there something you struggled to do that didn't make it fun? Explain why.
Robyn Jan 2, 2015 @ 3:52pm 
not that fun pointless amout of fizzlrs
pizzascience Jan 2, 2015 @ 7:16am 
its inposible for that to be your blinde walkthrouso boo
wildgoosespeeder  [author] Jan 1, 2015 @ 9:38pm 
@p0rtalmaster
It's the best I can do for conveying the message concentrate and don't allow that cube to get fizzled!
The Sojourner Jan 1, 2015 @ 4:03pm 
...so many fizzlers, it almost seems unneccesary...

Couldn't (nor would want to) figure it out after watching what DeathWish808 did. I got the second cube but after that the puzzle's lost its elegance, unfortunately.
pizzascience Jan 1, 2015 @ 3:39pm 
going on the front page is cheep so boo
ZAEROS Dec 31, 2014 @ 7:47am 
Got to the exit door with reflector cube eventually and then fired the wrong colour portal to access the laser!!!!!! Can not go through all that again now, Maybe next year. Enjoyed, Thank you.
p.s. Best map I've seen for a long time.
quat Dec 30, 2014 @ 5:29pm 
I made a spin-off version here and don't forget jokmaster's version here :3
wildgoosespeeder  [author] Dec 30, 2014 @ 5:12pm 
It's easy after that once you get past that part. Trust me!
TS_Mind_Swept Dec 30, 2014 @ 5:08pm 
cause i watched the vid and then i rage quitted :p
wildgoosespeeder  [author] Dec 30, 2014 @ 5:04pm 
Why not? Once you do that one thing, you are in the homestretch!
TS_Mind_Swept Dec 30, 2014 @ 5:03pm 
i didn't finish the map btw. :p
wildgoosespeeder  [author] Dec 30, 2014 @ 4:24pm 
Haha! :p2chell:
TS_Mind_Swept Dec 30, 2014 @ 4:03pm 
yep, u got me, and deathwish808 is a stinking genius and im an idiot. 8/10
quat Dec 29, 2014 @ 5:36pm 
A little fiddly but I like it
azertyuiop Dec 28, 2014 @ 4:38pm 
Like a psychedelic fog ; or sunbeams through the sea...
Good puzzle, the solution is not obvious.
Andi Dec 28, 2014 @ 2:28pm 
Another great chamber, not as hard as some of your other chambers but very enjoyable and clever, thumbs up.
Goose  [author] Dec 28, 2014 @ 2:00pm 
Yeah, it looks really nice! Good job
wildgoosespeeder  [author] Dec 28, 2014 @ 1:45pm 
I think it is ready for public release. :p2chell:
wildgoosespeeder  [author] Dec 28, 2014 @ 1:04pm 
@stormsend
I'm glad I went with a flip panel with your attempted exploit. When I first put it in there, I had no idea that I would be preventing an exploit or two!

@DeathWish808
You solved it as I intended. Thanks for playing!
DeathWish808 Dec 28, 2014 @ 9:57am 
Good one. Same thing I've used in a couple of mine. I like the use of the cubes, laser, and portals all at the same time. Your title gave it away to me pretty quickly once I got a view of everything.
I guess the trippy effect is all those fizzlers? That does look cool.

Wow. I played for a while before it dawned on me. I've left my other comment so you can see the video of how I was lost. My walkthrough. I've seen some 'trippy effects' before but this is one I've never used. Good job on the map and the puzzle. I've got one with a 'trippy effect' if you'd care to give a look. Thanks for the fun.
stormsend Dec 28, 2014 @ 3:12am 
Srill trying to discover your 'trippy effect'. This is where i'm at.
