Is the fake out with the moving platform intentional? I was ready to hate the level, thinking it was going to be a timing puzzle, rushing back before the gel in the funnel runs out, but then I chekhov's gun'd the ceiling panel and realised that the actual solution is pretty cool!

good level, though it's possible to solve even without panel for pushing the cube with funnel, enough gel that falls from what left of"statis" can knock cube from the button , thx

The most creative map ive seen

As always Mevious puzzles are simple but not obvious. Requires a bit of out-out-of-the-box thinking. Hint: Figure out how to get the cube to bounce on top of one of the buttons using the funnel while the paint has filled the funnel.

Very, very nice.

I knew that surface above the button was there for a reason. And I knew if it was acted upon by a funnel that it switched there would be a known effect. BUT I couldn't put the 2 together in my mind.

I watched video up to that point, then DUH! Why didn't I see that?

Nice chamber, especially with that fair warning.

That was the best level I've played

Funny, but weird.....

I was so stuck until I saw the title and then remember most mevious levels requires knowledge of some new game mechanic I never saw before! Fun

The moment I saw the title of this level, I knew the solution involved holding something in stasis . But what? Played around with the elements in the chamber a bit, and then discovered the answer.

I have to say it's very clever of you to make use of the funnel, the cube, and the cube-activated button to get a funnel to hold the Propulsion Gel in place without it going anywhere. The moment I saw how the first three elements interacted to potentially do that, I only needed to figure out how to get the Propulsion Gel into the funnel (hint: look up) and how to get the funnel to move the Propulsion Gel in the correct direction to where I need it to go (hint: be quick with portal-ing the funnel with the cube). Once all that was sorted out, the remaining problem was relatively minor: getting enough Propulsion Gel in the required area for me to be confident that it will get me to the exit. Two tries, and that was sorted.

Great idea!

brilliant and creative, but it's fun to see a cube dancing

Easy and fun

i just played a map with this concept in it. i probably wouldnt have known what to do. great map!!
Calwin Sep 11, 2019 @ 9:15am 
Amazing concept, first I didn't see it when I did the solution unfolded!
ShaggieIII Jan 26, 2019 @ 5:39pm 
Odd that a Mevious puzzle has unneeded elements. The speed track
Leo Dec 30, 2018 @ 8:38am 
Cool trick!
hfmanson Feb 8, 2018 @ 2:53am 
Unusual level indeed!

Nice one and good "gimmicky trick" :)

Very interesting chamber. For me it was much easier than other Mevious's chambers.

amazing

Nice one. As always with a neat twist to it. Thanks for making these. Keep up the good work.
kalohe2001 Apr 15, 2017 @ 4:34pm 
This was a real chalange, thanks.
dan Dec 26, 2016 @ 6:01pm 
Marvelous as always. I think I'd pay extra for your puzzles!
villacco Sep 13, 2016 @ 4:49am 
Good idea, relatively easy
The name of the puzzle helped me to come to a fast solution
zigzagtenniscoe Aug 30, 2016 @ 12:18pm 
Good job Mevious, you had me beat this time. There would have been no way I'd have figured that out on my own without looking at comments. Very neat trick, very neat concept, I have never ever seen it before. Wonderful, continue the amazing work! :)
NiMH Jun 28, 2016 @ 1:37pm 
I wasen't aware of this trick, intresting, thanks for the mindfuck ^^
Petutski Apr 15, 2016 @ 4:19pm 
Played this again after 2 years. Still great! Thanks!
SpielSatzFail Feb 13, 2016 @ 4:26pm 
Awesome! Another great idea and a real Mevious ;-)
Fortunately the panel above the cube button was marked, not sure if I would have found the solution without it. Should have remembered the name of the chamber ;-)

I solved it in a way that was definitely not intended. :)
I shot two portals directly above each other and got gel between them so at least parts of it would fall "endlessly". That way had all time in the world to get to whereever i wanted, the rest is obvious.
Pamsy Dec 2, 2015 @ 11:28pm 
Wild! Great the way after you see the idea, you need one more step. Hint 1: look at the ceiling above one of the buttons! Hint 2: use the funnel to push the cube off the button before transporting gel.
lfairban Nov 2, 2015 @ 6:15pm 
Nice one. It wasn't until I read the comments that I realized I did it the hard way. I ran to the stairs, knocked the cube off, then paced an output portal right above the funnel sorce. Thanks anyway TS.
danne11man Mar 5, 2015 @ 3:28am 
Nice one, the way to think outside the box
m00ny Sep 14, 2014 @ 9:16pm 
yes, something new!
Petutski Aug 17, 2014 @ 9:40pm 
Excellent! Yes... stasis.
Daoud Baba Aug 17, 2014 @ 4:52am 
When i was noob, in the beginning of the years, i was really stuck in this one...but now, i think i'm better cause i success the test with no problem this time :) Great job !
nuryk2002 Aug 4, 2014 @ 6:57am 
Cool use of stasis...
TS_Mind_Swept Jul 30, 2014 @ 10:09pm 
That's not the first time I've seen that idea done, and congrats on giving it away with the one portal surface on the ceeling RIGHT above that button, bravo. 7/10 :p2turret:
-piriquitoz- Jul 4, 2014 @ 11:33am 
Well, that was unusual XD
joe Jun 7, 2014 @ 8:55am 
Clues in the name. Once you figure how that works. ink up and get on the lift
Databot1 Feb 16, 2014 @ 7:05pm 
Just wow
tu7650x Feb 11, 2014 @ 9:47pm 
Man this is the best puzzle so far. It kicked my butt for a while but I knew the name of the map had to be a clue, then eureka. Thanks Mevious, once again you proved you're the best.
Kbeam Feb 1, 2014 @ 11:22am 
I am not sure if I solved it or used a bug
I first got the gel into the spiral and then opened the portal on the top above the button that reverses the spiral. That makes the spiral static since it loops between the two states as the cube bounces on the button.
Well, I guess the name of the chamber means it's not a bug, but intended solution :)
LoneWolf2056 Jan 19, 2014 @ 1:38pm 
Interesting, its like some of the weird stuff I would think off xD

That feeling you get when you find out that one simple trick that was there all along is beyond words.
Magilvia Dec 16, 2013 @ 2:40pm 
Pheraphs Mevious's easiest but very funny!

I solved this without the gimicky trick. Stand on the button that changes the funnel direction. Use the orange funnel to suck up a load of gel. Just before the moving platform reaches the observation window, move the portal to the square just over the funnel generator and run to the top of the stairs. Before boarding the platform, move the portal up one square. The load of gel that previously came out now drops again into the beam. While you ride the platform, it again comes out of the upper portal. At the other side, move the portal to the wall facing the exit. Again, the gel drops back into the beam and comes out of the new portal to where you need it.

Fantastic!

A really great Map. I admire Mevious for his ability! Clone him I say :D!
