wow! crazy map. loved it!

@Yöjalka:
here is the collection I was talking about:
Thinking With Portals

Thank you very much for your feedback! I am gonna try out your exploit.
If you hope to see more maps like this, then follow me, I will publish an entire collection of well-tested challenging maps soon.

I loved this map - a lot of cool flings there! I didn´t use the timer button though..
when standing on the lightbridge (facing the pedestal button(timer)) you can shoot a portal at the wall behind/above you while jumping off the bridge,and fling yourself over..
I hope to see more maps like this in the future

That was definitely not intended and I just reproduced it myself. I won't fix that tonight, but I will look into it over the weekend.

I was refering to powerhouse which was easy in compairson. I used a lightbridge to get up to top platform from the bottom angled plate it didnt feel as it was the intended solution

@Vik: Which map do you refer to, since there are 2 called "very hard" in my workshop?
I did test this map before I published it. I am not the master of exploits, so I most probably missed some. Thanks to allstarb and XLR8br I could fix most exploits. If you found any other exploit, please be so kind as to tell me about it, so I can fix that, too.

(I hope you played the newest version, because I updated it 8 times by now)

Ok I finally beat this map. Got a feeling I was using exploits though. Stupid hard map your other map that you called very hard was a walk in the park compared to this one. Oh and did you test this map before publishing it?

Ok, I updated it again. Now Allstarb's solution doesn't work anymore.
If you get stuck on the very last jump: You have to place a portal while in the air on the second-to-last jump.

Please tell me, if you find any new exploits because of the new portal surfaces, but there shouldn't be any.

No, actually there is a better solution, but now I know what to do to discourage your solution.

I am always torn between making a really hard, but solvable map, and leading the player to the intended solution.
General question to everyone: What is the balance you prefer here?

New version is out. I would like all tricky players to see what the can do.

I should have recorded my playthrough of this chamber... I thought about it too but I was just enjoying it/having troubles that I forgot about it. I have no idea what the panel did. The panel the angles 90° up... that one... I have to play this again and check out your updates.

Btw thanks for checking out my maps!

HARD... Is the exact word :p

XLR8br, you Sir, are a tricky and skilled player. I am honored to have you testing my maps!
As far as your video goes: You used a partly intended solution, but you showed me an unintended exploit. I am going to fix that, then you may try again ;-)

#Allstarb .age.
How did you solve it without the angled panel? Please make a demo, because that was definitely unintended.

hmm...cant seem to get the cube out and onto the stream button...

The last few second of that video, that's how I thought it was intended to end. I like how you did it on the first place XLR8br :)

What a journey! Seriously that was an interesting map to beat. There's only one thing I didn't get. The button on the island with the faith plate, after pressing that to flip the panel... I did not understood nor used it :\

Other than that, Really good map.
