Very sweet shuffle,such a tight maneuver!

SpielSatzFail 10 Mar, 2024 @ 9:24am

I was hoping for something new :-(
Anyways, still a good puzzle, so since the original got one, this one gets a thumbs up too.

E L Y T R O N 2 Jan, 2024 @ 6:32pm

ah, I see. Clever. Veerryy clever...

Andy T 2 Oct, 2023 @ 11:48pm

Oh I just realized there was another solve to the original.

Excellent

Demon Arisen [author] 19 Jul, 2020 @ 11:11am

Cheers Mike! :) Glad you enjoyed it, still an enduring personal favourite of mine as well

Mikeastro 18 Jul, 2020 @ 11:15am

Replayed this one today. Still very nice :]

Excellent clever map. For me the trick was was riding the tractor beam to the exit with NO portals! Thanks for your work!

Demon Arisen [author] 30 May, 2019 @ 2:39pm

Yeah, definitely not intended there. Thanks for telling me but since it's an obscure and difficult exploit, I don't really have the inclination to fix it. I appreciate you taking the time to go back and solve it properly!

vallibus 30 May, 2019 @ 12:47pm

I used a technique I learned playing another map a few years ago. In that map, this was part of the intended solution. From the exit room, you aim very carefully for the junction (or seam) of the frame of the glass panel and the wall to the room with the button for reversing the funnel flow. It might take you a few tries to get the portal to "go through the crack," but it can be done. For me "to solve" the puzzle I also had to get the angle right so the portal would be in line with the button. Then you can move the cube across and over to the "standard" funnel and shoot another portal into the panel in the ceiling. I initially thought that is what you intended because of the glass wall, but something didn't "feel" quite right; I suspected your solution would really be more elegant than that, and it was.

Demon Arisen [author] 28 May, 2019 @ 3:54pm

@vallibus Glad you enjoyed it, but I'd appreciate knowing how you did it an unintended way, since I thought this puzzle was exploit-proof. Could you provide a description, or even a video?

vallibus 28 May, 2019 @ 3:37pm

Good grief! This one took me a loooong time to solve. And I didn't really solve it the intended way (*Sigh*.) The intended way is much more elegant than what I did. Another great and challenging map.

It's much cleaner compared to the original version. Only nitpick is the use of BEE2. Consider me a PeTI purist (except for the magnet portals, as those are simply helpful).

It's a nice remove the portal from the funnel and turn it off by unpressing the button until you are ready to actually redirect it puzzle.

zigzagtenniscoe 22 Dec, 2018 @ 7:54pm

Even though I've already solved this test, this is a great twist on it and it's much better aesthetically speaking. And with these more difficult tests, it turns out I always somewhat forget how to solve them, which makes the replay value great :D Great puzzle.

Demon Arisen [author] 13 Apr, 2018 @ 11:24am

Thanks, Aur3Dash! Glad you enjoyed it. One of my best, I think.

anpy 13 Apr, 2018 @ 10:06am

Awesome puzzle! I loved the portal management bit . Thumbs up and favorite :)

Mâché 14 Feb, 2018 @ 4:40pm

I think I overcomplicated this one repeatedly, but excellent work! It didn't connect that I had to move the portal off the funnel to set up the final part of the solution until the very end.

Demon Arisen [author] 10 Feb, 2018 @ 11:25pm

@Tronsnake Thank you! Glad you appreciated the remaster.

Hikari 10 Feb, 2018 @ 8:05pm

Solved the first one, but this one felt like an entirely different puzzle! Well done!

Demon Arisen [author] 19 Jan, 2018 @ 12:52pm

@lfairban Thanks for playing! This one has basically the same solution, so it's not surprising.

lfairban 19 Jan, 2018 @ 8:18am

This one seemed easier than the origional, but not easy. Maybe because I recently did the origional.

Mikeastro 24 Sep, 2017 @ 1:31pm

I have to agree with you; solving your puzzles really steps up one's puzzle solving skills :p

Demon Arisen [author] 24 Sep, 2017 @ 11:43am

@Mikeastro I'd say it's medium - and you've had plenty of practice with my harder puzzles so it's no surprise you found it easy. Glad you enjoyed it!

Mikeastro 24 Sep, 2017 @ 11:20am

Maybe I got lucky but this one seemed very easy; great test though :D

Demon Arisen [author] 10 Jul, 2017 @ 6:25am

@dratera Thanks very much! Lots of time and patience, mostly :P but also practice, and knowledge of the test elements and how they interact with each other.

wastenaught 10 Jul, 2017 @ 2:35am

how can someone even come up with these puzzles... that was very good.

Jarsmin 8 Jul, 2017 @ 2:37am

Swedish Firefighter 22 Jun, 2017 @ 3:45am

Swedish Firefighter 21 Jun, 2017 @ 12:38pm

@BehindPortal Thanks!

BehindPortal 24 May, 2017 @ 6:12am

awesome . clever puzzle.

Demon Arisen [author] 23 May, 2017 @ 9:55am

@Vruk No worries, it was probably just too hard for you (Difficulty: Medium - Hard). Glad you could appreciate the good design anyway.

Vruk 23 May, 2017 @ 9:47am

i cant say i didnt like it and it just frustrated me, i do know its a good map and a good puzzle so im not sure if i enjoyed it or just know its a good map but feel like i want to say i enjoyed it because of that

TL:DR map is good but im not sure if i liked it or disliked it

Demon Arisen [author] 23 May, 2017 @ 9:41am

@Vruk Okay... Well, did you enjoy it overall?

Vruk 23 May, 2017 @ 9:39am

but i didnt, i looked at a video

Demon Arisen [author] 23 May, 2017 @ 3:37am

@Vruk It's a hard puzzle - don't feel annoyed that it took you a long time, feel pleased that you solved it!
