Nice little cube swap & fling map.

vallibus 20 Oct, 2023 @ 2:53pm

Well, I did complete the map but I suspected I hadn't done it the intended way. I confirmed my suspicion by viewing "BehindPortal's" video. Very nice challenge.

Andy T 15 Oct, 2023 @ 8:17am

Nice, but is a glancing shot part of the solution? It is pleasingly easy to do this chamber, assuming it was intended.

G4lvatron 8 Feb, 2023 @ 3:18pm

This one has a pretty obvious cheese but I did go back and figure out the actual solution. I like that there are two ways to fling the cube to the exit button, but one way requires you to re-spawn the cube from the back room, making the second fling impossible. I was stuck at that dead end for a good few minutes.

VertexVortex 9 Jan, 2023 @ 12:50pm

loved the extra touch that the companion cube adds since it's not often that it's well incorporated beyond name recognition

Aneonen 8 Nov, 2022 @ 12:31pm

Nice one - good thematic consistency

JiggleYourJerkyMrTurkey 11 Jul, 2022 @ 9:02am

Excellent puzzle with monoportals! I definitely overthought it at first, but it didn't take me too long to realize what I had to do.

cnh2r 6 Feb, 2022 @ 5:06pm

Another excellent map

TheMadLadChadMcgee 21 Dec, 2020 @ 2:13pm

Awesome puzzle!

jeffrey epstein 26 Jun, 2020 @ 7:13pm

Nice monoportal puzzle, although the dropper was very iffy for me.

Petutski 5 Apr, 2020 @ 6:09pm

Fun map! Nice and challenging. Thanks!

Hikari 21 Nov, 2019 @ 5:00pm

Haha, my cube flung right onto the button that opens the exit door! Awesome puzzle, clever solution!

Spider_Dawg 17 Apr, 2019 @ 12:03pm

I had the cube get stuck in the dropper a couple of times also, but no need to restart, just fling up there and grab it. Fun map.

Demon Arisen [author] 10 Feb, 2019 @ 8:21am

@Teo Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it. Honestly not sure why that is, but I don't think there's much I can do about it I'm afraid.

Teo 10 Feb, 2019 @ 7:56am

Great puzzle! You say in the description that it might be frustrating to play, but the only thing I found frustrating was how every couple times I tried respawning the companion cube it just got stuck in the dropper and wouldn't come out, forcing me to reload :O Everything else was really fun

wildgoosespeeder 9 Feb, 2019 @ 4:04pm

Another tricky but satisfying monoportal puzzle! Two different flings required to get through; one for the companion cube and the other for you. Also need to have the regular cube on the button for the final step. Also need to take the cube off the button (but next to it within grabbing range) because when active would prevent you from doing other things. Cube sacrifice needed.

Normal clean playthrough, 2 minutes: https://youtu.be/oZsxDHMLvEo I hate blindruns.

Demon Arisen [author] 23 Dec, 2018 @ 8:49am

Thanks, Ivo! Really glad you liked it so much.

This map is so brilliant in its simplicity. I spent so much time overthinking it - thinking how to go through the fizzler while it's turned off - and it turned out all I had to do is much easier - send the cube through the fizzler while it's off and THEN fling myself through while it's on . That aha!-moment was great. I absolutely enjoyed playing.

Mister Smirnov 23 Jun, 2018 @ 5:07am

I have solved it, but I do not think it was the correct solution. Very nice work though

Swedish Firefighter 4 May, 2018 @ 7:19am

I did it the same way as bachwiz18.
Nice map, did like it alot

Nobody No-One 14 Mar, 2018 @ 3:10pm

Nice map. For some reason the solution eluded me for several days (it actually took me longer to solve this map than Skyranger, I think, since here I kept wandering about in circles with no idea what to do) but then today I saw it almost immediately. I think my problem was that I assumed I would have to take the cube with me while flinging to the exit instead of flinging the cube first

quatrus 14 Feb, 2018 @ 11:16am

Blue portal, funnels and flings, nice. Thanks for creating.

Demon Arisen [author] 6 Feb, 2018 @ 10:37pm

@nockscitney Thanks, will watch later! Still need to fix that.

@quaternary That happened to me a few times while playtesting, too! Seems to be set up to land on the button fairly frequently.

quat 6 Feb, 2018 @ 7:21pm

OK I WAS SOLVING IT AND I did the little cube fling thingie and THIS HAPPENED UHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM https://gfycat.com/LiquidPerkyChicken

WHAAAAAAAAAT

nock 6 Feb, 2018 @ 1:49pm

good work Demon, may have shot the angle in an unintended manner, but it's not like the angle was tight.

Demon Arisen [author] 23 Jan, 2018 @ 6:59am

@bachwiz18 Yep, that's unintended. I'll do my best to fix it.

bachwiz18 23 Jan, 2018 @ 12:59am

I think I may have slightly broken it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNf2HC1F4ws (potentially unintended ninja move at 2:51 mark).

dven1 22 Jan, 2018 @ 9:12am

That never occured to me. It's done.

Demon Arisen [author] 22 Jan, 2018 @ 7:26am

Well, either you could delete your comment if you like, or you could send me a private Steam message in future.

dven1 22 Jan, 2018 @ 4:20am

Jeez, I'm sorry I posted that now. Few people would even try what I did since it looks impossible but now that I posted it others can do it too. How do you inform authors of possible exploits without informing everybody else as well?

BehindPortal 22 Jan, 2018 @ 1:39am

BehindPortal 22 Jan, 2018 @ 1:32am

i really enjoyed funnel traveling. cool idea. i hope i played intended so far.

favorite

Demon Arisen [author] 21 Jan, 2018 @ 4:18pm

@☞ Happiness | Glitches are never intended in my puzzles. If you like you could replay, and try to find the intended solution. Hope it wasn't too frustrating!

BarMan_Forasteiro 21 Jan, 2018 @ 4:05pm

idk if i really did this one as intended, it's seens to me that i had to perform a glicth to get my self over the hole. I had to creat another portal at the exact momment i was between two portals, i hope you understood what i said lol xD, 30 minutes to solve this one probably.

Demon Arisen [author] 21 Jan, 2018 @ 2:00pm

Ah, I see. Gosh, this is gonna be incredibly tough to fix... maybe even impossible.

Demon Arisen [author] 21 Jan, 2018 @ 7:34am

@dven1 Yes, I did, in a recent update (being able to see it from the platform was an unintended solution). Feel free to replay the map if you want to find the intended solution!

dven1 21 Jan, 2018 @ 6:53am

Hey Demon, at some point did you move the angled panel that faces the exit so it couldn't be seen from the platform with the button that deactivates the fizzler? I could swear I could see it from the platform when I solved the map the first time.

Private 21 Jan, 2018 @ 2:50am

a really nice map too, favorited :)

after watching @HugoBDesigner gameplay, i realised, that i made a little bit another way by throwing the cube to the exit. I just did it without thoughts. xD
i dont know, if that would mean as unitended but you can decide :). (4:23)

Expat 20 Jan, 2018 @ 9:38pm

Man, I don't know how many times I came back to this over about three days. Finally got through with help from a friend (thanks, @dven1) and realised I was doing the right steps, but in the wrong order. The only frustration came from my own thickheadedness. Fun description too. Thanks for creating.

HugoBDesigner 20 Jan, 2018 @ 2:25pm

Apex good monoportal map i know

Demon Arisen [author] 20 Jan, 2018 @ 11:00am

@Aur3Dash Thanks! Glad you liked it. I know the intro room is a breeze for experienced players like us, but I wanted to include it because that move might be unfamiliar to inexperienced players, and I want my tests to be accessible to anyone.

anpy 20 Jan, 2018 @ 9:42am

Pretty good puzzle, fairly straight-forward. I liked it, there were some clever moves (sending the cube back to the beginning was fun). Maybe the introductory room wasn't necessary and it was slightly too big. Thumbs up and favorite :)

Demon Arisen [author] 19 Jan, 2018 @ 4:21pm

Thank you both! <3

. 19 Jan, 2018 @ 4:18pm

Great map and very clever.

Jade BGE 18 Jan, 2018 @ 5:26pm

That was beautiful! Very elegant. And I concure with jgaultney. Thank you

Demon Arisen [author] 18 Jan, 2018 @ 10:00am

Thanks for the kind words, everyone! Glad you all enjoyed it.

jgaultney 18 Jan, 2018 @ 9:27am

That last move took me far longer to see than it should have.

Thumbs up!

dven1 17 Jan, 2018 @ 4:04pm

I went back and I see that it would take quite a magician to do what you mentioned. Sorry 'bout that.

dven1 17 Jan, 2018 @ 3:52pm

D.A., I had thought that it was possible but I saw the other way and opted for that. It's quite possible I was wrong, that did happen once before. (my nose just grew)
