Excellent puzzle that had me stumped for quite a while. When I did finally get to the end, "it" happened, but after reading the description I simply removed and replaced the soccer ball more gently and all was well second time around.

Welp, after almost two years I finally came back to this map. This time I solved it in 20 minutes, and I'm pretty sure I did it all intended. Very nice puzzle, only the portal shot at 4:30 in Omega's video felt a bit unnecessarily tight. Thumbs up :]

Very nice map indeed. I knew exactly what you were referring to in the description, however the map still have me stumped for a while.

I however applaud that this is the only good chamber I've seen so far that uses the futbol element well. Nice one! Hope to see more of you from the future.

Interesting. It does require a lot of clever thinking but no way this is a medium map, it totally reaches the hard spectrum not only because of the sheer amount of steps you have to do but adapting to every challenge the chamber presents you can be really hard.

My solution did... involve some unintended steps. I know I know I used the move that throws a futbol in the air while shooting a portal.... but I still think it's a bit elegant.

Have a look:

Cool idea and cool puzzle! It's a shame that it's a bit inconsistent, but still it was refreshing to see a futbol map.

Damn great map! It felt very satisfying and it was a fresh experience since the futbol is used so rarely. I also enjoyed the higher difficulty (compared to your other maps I played recently). Thanks for creating!

I think your last update prevents one of the two alternatives in that last video. Good changes.
Libbybapa 21 Jun, 2019 @ 8:04am 
Ok, shucks, I just made one more video that picks up where that one stops and shows two alternatives in the moves following: https://youtu.be/3dg7bgABOIc

Thanks Libbybapa for finding those issues! I've released another update to patch them all and some other minor redesigns.
Libbybapa 20 Jun, 2019 @ 11:08pm 
That toss of the futbol and quick shot to get the laser definitely breaks it. It means that I never have to use the catcher with the square signage or the angled panel bridge.
Libbybapa 20 Jun, 2019 @ 9:48pm 
Here's a vid with a couple alternatives in a couple areas: https://youtu.be/CW8PNEQwXX4 I personally prefer the beginning move that requires the fling, as it is more interesting. I think you could probably prevent the less interesting version by simply removing the 1/2 panel that protrudes and lets you make that portal shot. In the other part, I imagine the quick shot after tossing the futbol is unintended. It is quite easy to execute, though. I believe the rest of the solution I used is intended.
Libbybapa 20 Jun, 2019 @ 7:01pm 
Thanks.
Nobody No-One 20 Jun, 2019 @ 6:52pm 
yep just confirmed I solved it without that
Nobody No-One 20 Jun, 2019 @ 6:46pm 
That shouldn't be necessary
Libbybapa 20 Jun, 2019 @ 6:30pm 
I took another look at this. Several things that I did before are no longer possible. Is this intended? https://youtu.be/sdvhE0dsMa0 I imagine it isn't but before I spend time looking for an alternative (or watching any walkthrough) I'd like confirmation.

Super cool map, don't think I've ever played a map with these before :P

Very clever puzzle; definite thumbs up.
jgaultney 17 Jun, 2019 @ 9:31am 
While replaying after the last update, I discovered another shortcut. :(
Some may consider this the equivalent of a futbol(cube) toss, if so then disregard.

excellent map! took me a long time to figure out how to get the first sphere to the next receptacle. faved!
jgaultney 15 Jun, 2019 @ 8:29am 
A very entertaining puzzle using a futbol property I was unaware of until this map. :)
I'm pretty sure I finally found all of the intended methods needed to exit. Thumbs up!

While that added ditch prevents quickly grabbing the cube past that fizzler, it does not
prevent hand-carrying/aiming the cube past it. The very shallow laser angle makes
this fairly easy. :( https://youtu.be/Sz2htk6V6_8

I have redesigned the exit area of the map based on what Libbybapa found out...thanks Libby! It's now designed to encourage the player not to throw the futbol into the socket, so the map should be possible to complete. Sorry for the inconvenience, everyone!
Libbybapa 14 Jun, 2019 @ 8:58am 
You could easily eliminate the quick pull or cube move through the fizzler by lowering the floor next to the fizzler by 1/4 voxel, e.g. add a ditch item.
Libbybapa 14 Jun, 2019 @ 8:53am 
I generally liked the aesthetics except the z-fighting between the glass frames and fizzler columns looks quite bad to me and the shimmering is distracting. I would make the glass rectangular and put the window item to either side of the standing fizzlers to eliminate the z-fighting.
Libbybapa 14 Jun, 2019 @ 8:52am 
Although it has been mentioned, the laser will not break the futbol at the end. In experimenting a bit, I have found that if you place the futbol in the holder it will break using the laser. If you do the futbol toss to the catcher (which is required at the end of the map) the futbol will not break using the laser. As is, it seems the map is not solvable. I never did any quick pull through the fizzler although I did move the cube through the fizzler at the beginning. The end just required portal management. If you can fix that issue the puzzle will be decent.
asears16  [author] 13 Jun, 2019 @ 3:52pm 
@Mikeastro The intended solution for this map never requires you to quickly pull the cube through the fizzler the way you did ...there's a more elegant way to do the fling and to set up the ending moves.
As for your screenshot, see my comment there.
Permatemp 13 Jun, 2019 @ 3:31pm 
@Mikeastro Yeah, ended up doing that as well.
Mikeastro 13 Jun, 2019 @ 3:24pm 
Well, I managed to reach the exit, but I'm not proud of any of my moves. I had to activate the laser catcher with the cube close enough to the fizzler that I could snatch the cube through it twice - first to get the first fling going, and second to get the desired ending setup for the laser cube. Also this happened. So I'm hoping I did it completely unintended, although I can't really see any alternatives at the moment
Permatemp 13 Jun, 2019 @ 2:55pm 
Alright, thanks.
asears16  [author] 13 Jun, 2019 @ 2:53pm 
@Permatemp No, that isn't intended
Permatemp 13 Jun, 2019 @ 2:50pm 
Is shooting the floor portal in the flinging room from the laser portal intended?
