A nice and neat tutorial and then subsequent challenge to show how the "Cube respawn mechanic" can be used within a puzzle environment to help solve it.
I feel like you are too generous with the portalable surfaces however.
7/10

Another awesome map, that grill in the ceiling by the funnel makes sense now, its a bit cleaner with that there.
It almost seems impossible to get the cube again as you can only have 2 portals, but the solution is very clean.

The difference between the tutorial room and the main puzzle (the "you don't have to physically be there on the cube island" bit) took a bit of time. I did think it was over at first when I finished the tutorial part. :D

Semi-blindrun (at least 4 years since I've played, took a break starting from late 2019)
Unique, interesting, and fun - just like all of your other maps.

Difficulty: 4/10
Design: 10/10
Enjoyed: 7.5/10

So simple yet it had me thinking for ages. Brilliant!!

one of the best map's I've played.

brilliant, awesome

Nice job!

nice!

Impressive, nice simple demonstration of the cube respawn concept. Gotta admit, took me too long the first time :P
Jägermeister Mar 1, 2022 @ 7:58am 
WOW! This looked so easy and took me a while! Thanks!!!

Really stumped me even on the first part. Really resisted the urge to look up hints or how other people solved it and gave it a good thought before I finally figured out the overarching theme: cube destruction will be needed by requesting for new cubes.

Really cool map, good job! Here's my blind playthrough: https://youtu.be/wy0txmu6p10

Nice one! Takes some thinking ahead. I got so cocky when I figured it out that I shot the wrong portal for the finish and had to start over gain! Good times!

Cool little puzzle! :) :47_thumb_up:
Calwin Sep 9, 2019 @ 1:21pm 
Easier than most of ur puzzles.

Nice puzzle. Thanks!

I think Cache is great as it is, although it's always had a few quirks. I mean, it's a 6 year old puzzle, one of the best of its time, let's cut it some slack. :steammocking:

Go look at this version of Cache (yes, it's the same puzzle with more steps). I made it back in 2014 based on Cache and the version I linked is toncica's remake.

Also, Gig has Bifurcation A and Bifurcation B , which are also descendant versions of Cache.

Nice and easy chamber. Maybe you could add some more puzzle into it. e.g. another airlock.
Joric Aug 19, 2018 @ 6:58am 
Bifurcation A & B seem way worse in comparison now https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1356660617
Mikeastro Aug 11, 2018 @ 11:36am 
Nice one
MmmmmmhHHHhhhhhhmmmm Jul 11, 2018 @ 12:09pm 
I'm pretty sure someone more or less uploaded your map somewhere else. It's the exact same thing.

Anyways, solid map. Hint: there's only one tool available for you to grab a new cube.
Snoitulover Jun 12, 2018 @ 4:53am 
I have played this before and it wasn't here. I like it but I think somebody copied you.
jandlml Jun 4, 2018 @ 6:35pm 
its interesting playing these maps again and seeing how they have been used in other maps. shows what great creators they are
Joric Jun 2, 2018 @ 10:45pm 
Easy difficulty.
bullfrog Jan 13, 2018 @ 1:17am 
Nice one and it makes a change to have an easy one from you :)
santa Dec 7, 2017 @ 3:57am 
Maybe i'm dumb......but that stumped me for a while...well done
happy Aug 1, 2017 @ 5:18am 
great tutorial
Fumbly Bumbly Jun 17, 2017 @ 6:54am 
Quite easy compared to some of your other maps, but still clever and enjoyable.
Me Nov 29, 2016 @ 2:18am 
Wow, very clever map!
zigzagtenniscoe Aug 30, 2016 @ 12:39pm 
Very fun and clever map. Didn't know why I thought at first I needed the cube to be on the light bridge button for the button in the middle disabling the fizzlers to work... I just needed that cube to be on that button and for that I needed it to get sucked through the funnel to reach the middle room while I stand on the button but I didn't get how to do that while the cube was on the light bridge button... don't know why I thought I needed that yet! You are the master of puzzles that are hard because you subconsciously think you need to do something that doesn't need to be dome therefore making the solution seem much simpler then it seems at first. Didn't fool me for too long tho. Difficulty intermediate, continue the good work!
NiMH Jun 28, 2016 @ 2:42pm 
The tutorial room was a great hint without making the main puzzle too easy. Really good and entertaining design.
Prince Warhero May 22, 2016 @ 12:41am 
Awesome way of conveying a hint !! Your maps are the best thing about portal 2 :steamhappy:
Petutski Apr 16, 2016 @ 3:12pm 
Beautiful, tricky, logical map! Great job!
Rockgod96 Mar 3, 2016 @ 1:03pm 
That emancipation grille is the only thing making this chamber a giant, unsolvable mess.
I like your chambers, but this one needs to be redone.
WK2Trailhawk Jan 16, 2016 @ 12:46pm 
Wow. I did that one in record time. Less than 10 minutes. Either I got incredibly lucky or you are making a better Portal player out of me. Probably a little of both.
Pamsy Jan 13, 2016 @ 7:37pm 
Great map. Hint 1: the antechamber is a hint. Hint 2: put the funnel under the cube dispenser.
heppin Jan 10, 2016 @ 7:31am 
Good one, and a bit tricky until I got the thinking in the right way! :)
kwyjibo 1981 Jun 6, 2015 @ 1:11pm 
Good map, except that it was too easy.
PortalFan Jun 2, 2015 @ 3:33am 
Ingenious and simple, brilliant !
otahitie Apr 22, 2015 @ 1:16am 
With Mevious, all seems simple, all is genius and ask a lot of thought
I think at the end of the level, to pass the cube and activate the blue bridge
Nice one more time ! Thanks
akross.cs Feb 23, 2015 @ 11:19am 
HOW did you know how to make puzzles like this? Are you physical - chemistry genious?
batman Nov 14, 2014 @ 7:18am 
your maps bring satisfaction even though they are not difficult. That's amazing.
BOT BRAŇO Nov 4, 2014 @ 10:58am 
You fried every single circuit in my brain. Thank you for good test :)
Hurkey Durkey Oct 26, 2014 @ 4:16pm 
So sneaky. :rfacepalm:
Chelliste Sep 7, 2014 @ 9:19am 
One of his easier puzzles. For which I am grateful.
colin-java Sep 4, 2014 @ 3:46pm 
Nice puzzle, pretty tough. Easy to forget that you can move portals sometimes.
I spent a few mins trying to throw the cube while standing on that button, but it would never make it, lol.
The puzzles sometimes seem impossible, but they generally aren't
PaperTib Jul 27, 2014 @ 3:32pm 
very nice !
quat Jul 26, 2014 @ 8:24pm 
Would probably be better without the training room, because I pretty much knew the answer when I walked in that way.
