Someone named "icoplex" on the Steam forums posted a challenge: make a map that is only 3x3x3 in playable area.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

I contend that this is probably about as meaningfully complex as you can make a puzzle in only a 3x3x3 cube. If you can break the map, I'll give you a cookie. Or at least say nice things.

Somehow this map ended up #1 on the front page of the Workshop on 5/17... for about five minutes. I'd think I was hallucinating if I didn't have screen shots and the sudden surge of visitors to prove it. So thanks for coming and trying the map, everyone--please just keep in mind that I did this map purely as a technical challenge to myself, and if you'd like some more traditional Portal puzzles please click on the "Catsy's Workshop" link right above the name of this map and give my other creations a try, or use the following link: http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/id/amezuki/myworkshopfiles?appid=620


Revision 2:
- Changed the ceiling flip panel to an angle panel. It should no longer be possible to break the level by getting a turret stuck in the panel.
- Changed the weighted button that controls the exit door to a cube button to avoid the cube getting nudged off-base by the player passing it.
- Changed laser barrier to a light bridge to avoid accidental player death when jumping off the top floor. If you jump into the thermal discouragement beam, OTOH, that's your own fault. ;)
- Not a change, but I'm keeping the first light bridge. It's true that it is not necessary to complete the level; it is there to use as a shield for players who aren't good at using a cube as a shield. Defeat the turret any way you can; it doesn't matter to me.
