Amazing brain teaser and very fun chamber to complete! Loved all the bouncing around, felt very exciting once I finally realized the solution.

Took me around an hour to complete. Hard, but overall a really cool puzzle.

also fun

This is one hard puzzle, I think I'm at the minimum skillset for even attempting this one; it took me several sittings across few days to solve this. With each constituent step soon after start become advanced casual, at least. Though the timing at the end is quite tight; I remember there is a 180 key that would've helped, but I think that was a Co-op option not available here.

As a matter of fact this map is a challenging one that deserves all the attention so don't get me wrong.

Wow... that was a tough one, took me an hour roughly. Too bad you have a different opinion about repetitive moves than the majority of the players. If it wasn't for the confusing backtracking this would be another favourite of mine. (it's a thumbs up)

This map leaves me as a player a bit uncertain if one prepared everything correctly, if some moves are actually intended AND if at worst you have to roll back some of the gel preparations - or let's say "roll back AND forth" depending on were you are.
Well, I watched the official playthrough and I did everything as it is intended, even if not in the correct order. I can't even remember what MY order was XD

I was more than halfway through (about to somehow coat the runway to the exit) when I thought about the connection I had to prepare. There were two fizzlers to be deactivated and a panel to be turned around, but I only had two cubes. Man! XD
After some time it dawned on me.

oh...my...god. Finally done. Amazing and evil design. I spent hours in a first play session weeks ago and had to give up. Today I was determined and finally reached the second cube!...but there was so much more after that. I kept thinking I was close to the end, but I wasn't. Borderline not fun anymore, but I was probably just in a bad mood. Still very cool.

Only ~14 Demon chambers left until I am done with all your public puzzles (hopefully not all are as hard as Skyranger!)

This is by far THEE best workshop I have seen and played on Steam. Well done!!!

Played this one again after a while, must say it wasn't quite as difficult for me this time. Felt like one step naturally led to the next. Maybe because I'd subconsciously remember what the right moves were? I don't know. I do know that in other maps I did remember some of the key moves outright 😅 Very well designed, however.

My only complaint would be that when repainting the surface to go to the blue gel room blue after you've reached the blue gel room, to also allow yourself to get up onto the platform that eventually leads to the final room, when you use it as a runway to get to the blue gel room again you occasionally miss the blue gel, run on the still-orange ramp instead and fall into the goo. That's assuming this is the correct solution of course.

Difficulty: 6.5/10 (7.5 the first time around)
Design (objective score): 9.5/10
Enjoyed (subjective score): 8.75/10

Monster! Love it!!

This is probably the most difficult chamber I've played so far, I love it. Your gel puzzles are always the hardest for me to solve for some reason.

i think i may have sequence broke by accidentally b-hopping after putting repulsion gel in the final room, using the b-hop to get back to re-spawn the normal cube whilst having a portal in the final room

Loved it!!

You rooms are good, although I dislike the use of water and having to restart the puzzle if you slip into it.

Very hard map with more steps ,but not annoying.

@Sloi Thanks for the kind words! <3 Really glad you enjoyed it

That was a rather involved and ultimately pleasing test to complete.

I've been going through your "Best of" series and I have to say, you're quickly joining my short list of authors whose maps I'll play without hesitation.

Great stuff.

What a map! This one took me quite a while, but the solution was rewarding. The worst was when I realized I had to put repulsion gel in the first chamber after I'd set up the final move , but there were lots of clever moves needed.

While playing, I thought, "OK, the solution will show how many unnecessary things I'm doing" because I was taking forever and doing things over and over (oh...and did I say "over") again. After completion the solution video, having no errors or unneeded effort...was 9 minutes long!...so hey! I pretty much did it all correctly. One thing different from the solution was, through shifting portal placement, I had both a speed runway and a small bounce patch in the CC dropper area. While not the solution, I don't see it as a cheat as it only allows finishing the puzzle without having to go through the tedium of repainting the areal if you don't do exactly the right thing after painting with jump gel (which I did not) . Loved the puzzle! Didn't find it as hard as some of your others that others said were straight forward-always had something to try-different brains I guess. Thanks again!-great distraction from the election!

Yep, I remember this one: it's still a brilliant puzzle and I still agree with everything that @Fumbly Bumbly said 22 Aug, 2017 ;)

Excellent challenging map! And I feel great that I solved it without reading the comments. I won't tell you how long it took me! The strategy in maps of this kind is to lay down as many ways to move through the map without having using a portal. Then things start to come together. Thanks for your excellent work!

@j0lizzy Congrats! :D That's certainly an achievement, this is a long one for sure

Yikes! After visiting several times and failing, I spent a couple of hours on this last night... only to have a reload break (blue gel in blue gel room stopped bouncing). I spent a couple more hours today, and FINALLY beat it! I don't think I've EVER spent as long on any other map!

Thanks, Tronsnake! Glad I managed to stump you :)

Yowza! Another great challenge. I had to make a lot of trips back and forth, but I finally reached the exit.

Really glad you enjoyed it Teo, congrats on the solve! :D

Finally. I've had this puzzle in my queue for probably over 2 months now and I just now was able to beat (on probably my fourth day trying). Brilliant puzzle, by far my favorite map you've put out. Amazing work

Couldn't reproduce the first thing I mentioned below, have no idea how it happened, but solved it anyway without it. Did use the bounce to the angled surface this time. This is one I'll enjoy playing a few more times to make my solution more elegant.

After watching Magnum's video I realize my solution wasn't intended, and I'm sure mine was worse. First, to get to the exit room some of the repulsion gel landed next to the wall underneath the fizzler, and I was able to bounce up there without needing the portal surface or the running start any longer . Second, I never bounced up to the angled portal surface (although I considered it), but used repulsion gel to bounce back up to the higher level on the opposite side of the speed gel dropper thingy . Very fun pain-in-the-brain.

I did solve it as intended, but had to use cheats to streamline the resets if I made a mistake. This one takes several minutes of solid logic execution. My capacity to solve this test was pushed to the limit. This one is a "mastermind" puzzle. "Hard" just doesn't convey the difficulty.

However, the button after the first ramp jump, I was able to place gel there and cheat the puzzle a little, but it made little difference to get things were I wanted them.

I do like how this puzzle expands upon two previous puzzles on how to exit the chamber with a timed exit door:

This is quite possibly your most difficult chamber. LOTS of switching around between different sides and such though. Gets tedious at times, but in a way it's part of the difficult solution, and the fun.

@Demon Arisen Sure! :)

@Magnum Yup, all intended! :D Thanks very much. I'll link it here as an official walkthrough.

@Demon Arisen Made another walkthrough. Hope this ones legit :D

@Magnum Thank you very much! Unfortunately I can't link it here as an official walkthrough because you used an exploit at 4:30 :( I appreciate it though!

@Magnum Congrats! Completing this test is definitely an achievement. Keep it up!

Wow, took me forever. Hardest chamber I've done so far. Really happy that I made it though.:D

They are probably still more difficult than most of the chambers out there. After playing this map and Portal Stories: Mel, it's been hard to find any kind of challenge. That's why I followed.

@Neightro Thank you very much! Not all of my maps are this hard, in fact this is probably my hardest one, but I'm really glad you enjoyed it :D

I appreciate you for making maps that are actually realy hard. There are a _lot_ of easy maps on the workshop, and for whatever reason they get really high ratings. So thank you for daring to be difficult. :D

oh my god i hate myself
neither of the videos i uploaded today have sound
i am so sorry

My playthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osKZJoPut8o

An excellent bookend to your Best Of collection, truly an amazing gel puzzle. I'm gonna miss playing your maps...until you suggest more maps, that is... ;)

@| \_/ () Great to see you back, and thanks very much for playing! What a way to return. Really glad you liked it so much. More test are always on the way

A sigh of relief! Finally! It took me about an hour, but I made it! Maybe it's because this is the first map I've played in months, but it was all worth it. I found the puzzle very enjoyable and I'm glad I played and finished it.

Haha, I had forgotten your map descriptions. Nice :D

Strangely enough I didn't feel the map to be that hard (because it's logicly layed out - as good as always) , and just assumed I've lost training, having had to jump from room to room all the time, desintegrate cubes many times, try to remember which portal is where...I even died a couple times.
But nope, If you find it to be hard, than it seems I'm still in shape for puzzles :D

Keep 'em coming. I always subscribe to them, even if I don't have much time to play these days.

@Neightro Thanks! Nope, that just means you're solving it wrong. I never ever use ninja moves or techniques which require precise execution. It's pure logic.

Loving this map so far! Do any of your maps require the use of techniques like crouching on propulsion gel? I had to use it on one part of this one.

@h99pilot Congrats! Well done on solving it, this is definitely my hardest puzzle. Glad you enjoyed it!

So glad to have solved this one. A lot of back and forth, and I forgot a couple of gel adds but finally reached the end. The short timer had me worried until I saw the last room/ Very nice map.
