Very nice puzzle, i took me a long time to finish the last part but when i did i instantly found two solutions - great joy

Another great map! Required thinking and planning with a very satisfying reward.

You say 3/10 I say more like 5/10. Medium.

Never used the funnel but still quite fun :)

Fun map. Getting the cube to the funnel area while preserving my portals where they needed to be was a bit tricky, but it was satisfying once I managed to do it. Thumbs up.

So well thought out and played great. Thanks!

I thorughly enjoyed how every right step forces you to make a another even if the chamber does contain quite a few test elements. The reason for that I think is the fantastic layout.

All in all, I expected it to be harder, but I'm glad it wasn't. Good job!

Fun map! I just played this map and then read some of the earlier comments about timing. Could not figure out what they were talking about; then I read your update comment.

Sadiquecat 11 Nov, 2017 @ 10:07am

Simple in the design, but verry clever, I would give it a bit more than 3/10 in the difficulty but that's maybe me who's lost practice.
Any ways, great job!

Thanks for the comments! The map has been updated to remove the quick timing move. I recommend replaying it if you didn't quite like the move.

Very clever map! Of course the timing but will be fixed.

jandlml 6 Nov, 2017 @ 9:37pm

nice map. quick little move there at the end,but definitely possiblr

Tried it the other day, it was late so I quit. Interesting that my initial assumption for the ending was correct, I just couldn't pull off the timing then. Now I did it first try, what gives. Good puzzle, although now I'm a little unsure on the timing required for funneling the cube and then yourself quickly enough so you can grab it. Thing is getting the lazer immediately with the funnel wasn't particulary something I thought of, so I had to do a 180 spin quickly after pulling the cube. Perhaps moving the lazer slightly, and an extra portalable surface with the same view of the cube? Would be worse if that angle then wouldn't allow you to immediately take the lazer, but maybe it is possible.

Nice puzzle rector and thanks for confirming that I didn’t break the puzzle by doing what I did. :)

Fun puzzle! I went through it very fast till I got above the orange funnel. Then it took me a while to see what I had to do. Had to be quitte fast with the final move though. Thanks!

Very elegant as usual. Thanks for creating.

dven1 1 Nov, 2017 @ 5:21am

Nice map, well made and sufficiently lit. Always happy to solve one of your maps, it doesn't happen very often. That last move gave me fits, quick-save was my salvation. Thanks for your efforts.

BehindPortal 31 Oct, 2017 @ 5:08am

good job as always. nice and thinking puzzle. favorite

Great puzze - checked and done as intended :)

I can't handle a 3D problem.

I find myself dis orientated so i have no idea where I am.

Great puzzle. I enjoyed it :) But the thumbnail is clickbait, there was no hole to another universe, thumbs down.

Psychological Atom 29 Oct, 2017 @ 5:50pm

Very easy puzzle that I really enjoyed. Thank you :)

Jade BGE 29 Oct, 2017 @ 3:12pm

Fun! I thoroughly enjoyed this map. Thank you!

Tuleby 29 Oct, 2017 @ 10:33am

Very nice puzzle, thanks for the effort.

Rector [author] 29 Oct, 2017 @ 10:03am

@jgaultney Ah good to hear! Thanks for playing :)

@•‹†ρđ› ĐūšР2ķ• Yes it was! Hope it wasn't too quick for comfort. Thanks for playing :)

•‹†ρđ› ĐūšР2ķ• 29 Oct, 2017 @ 9:08am

Nice puzzle! I take it the quick cube grabbing in the funnel is the intended solution.

jgaultney 29 Oct, 2017 @ 7:55am

A very entertaining puzzle, thanks Rector.

Rector [author] 29 Oct, 2017 @ 1:22am

Thanks for the feedback Fumbly and for the video Libby! Glad you all enjoyed it. I rectified the problems :)

Libbybapa 29 Oct, 2017 @ 12:28am

Ok, watched the vid. Oops, I like your solution better. Fumbly already mentioned what I did.

Libbybapa 29 Oct, 2017 @ 12:25am

It was fun. Here's my blind run: https://youtu.be/ZCoEByc0csc It all seemed intended, but I haven't checked the walkthrough yet.

Fumbly Bumbly 28 Oct, 2017 @ 11:26pm

Excellent! I did it the intended way, but I found some exploits along the way. After aquiring the cube and resting it on the button that deactivates the laser room's fizzler, you can jump on top of it to bridge over. In the final steps, it's also possible to activate the exit catcher without first disabling the fizzler with the other catcher. This is accomplished by moving the laser entry portal over to the edge of the surface, and peeking around the corner up at the funnel area to shoot the exit portal. Other than that, this is a fantastic puzzle! Easy-medium is spot-on. Thumbs up!
