Nice.

so much fun. excellent map!thanks dire for telling me about it!

OMG You really EXPECTED the player to to that with the bridge XD Okay I could have figured it out, but I would classify it as an exploit :p
Using a light bridge to temporarly disable a cube button is one thing, but using it to roll the cube out of it is completely mad X)

I played NYS-4 Hard Mode for a long, long time a while ago and got right up to the final exit. I didn't have enough of the 'right' white paint splashes to get a portal surface in the right place, and after hours of painting that fricken room I finally gave up.

There's 'hard puzzle' and 'hard work', and I like hard puzzles. The first bit of that map is nice and puzzling, and the thing with the frankencube is cute. I can take or leave maps with lots of painting. Also, I just had a look at the 'easier' original, and the frankencube seems to walk down that lightbridge much, much easier than I remember it walking down yours. If I remember correctly you've got a couple of pillars in the middle of the corridor it has to scuttle down, and it got caught on them. A lot. Some maps are satisfying to get past just because you don't have to deal with the pain any more.

Glad you thought it was hard! It took weeks to finish it. This is not my most challenging ever though. If you really want to take a few hours on a test, then check out NYS-4 Hard Mode. You should probably play Nyskrte's original map series before attempting it.

THE SOLUTION TO THIS MAP IS HIDEOUS. :)

Camerson: e www. Tricky dicky. I spent a couple of days cursing you and wondering if you had posted an unsolvable map, until I attempted... that. It's enjoyable as it is, and players sometimes need maps that irritate them.

Other players. The "strange way" you have to use the lightbridge has nothing to do with dancing across the goo to the final exit. It's something you've probably never done before, and hopefully will never need to do in a Portal map again.

Don't watch it if you've only been stuck for a day or so. Working this one out is satisfying.

I'm still chewing on this one..Good job.
