Just a quick map I started this afternoon. It looks a lot like Caterpuddle, but the puzzle should be completely different. Anyhoo, if you finish it, I'd love to see your solution

Looks fun! Does this involve the Use input? I've never seen that in a full map before.

Alright, I can't grab the first cube. Am I supposed to just press 'e' on it?

Heh yeah.. little bug atm, 'cause I didn't account for the "bendy" player model on PTI having some bones/attachment points missing. Will have it fixed in a few
Edit:
All donesies, turns out bendy on the PTI maps has no eyes to stick stuff to. Thanks all for the halp.

I am definitely getting a bad case of Caterpuddle fever.
But what the frick ? Am I supposed to start in an entryway behind kill beams with no portable surfaces to exit through ? OIC - you can do "Use-Fire" - that was a fun feature that you could do a lot with.

Well, here is my solution -
Thanks sicklebrick :

Hehehe, I wanted to try something smaller to test the mechanic before attempting a full on map, so I'm glad you liked it. That's totally not the intended solution but not that far off either. Pretty ninja, I gotta let it slide

Hmmm, I guess I was more confused than disoriented on this one. I think the labeling tripped me up. The first button has two moons on it and the cube drops and turns off the LB labelled with a moon. I kill that cube, a new one falls and the LB turns off again but it also turns off the laser grid in front of me which is not labelled with a moon. So, I think, OK, each button has three states. Then I go to the button marked with two Xs. And it turns off the fizzlers labelled with an X, but it does nothing for the grate near the exit marked with an X, but it does turn off the laserfields which are not marked with an X. An additional press of the button does nothing new. I take the cube to the button marked with two triangles. The fizzlers marked with the triangle turn off, but I see nothing else marked with a triangle and repeated presses of the button does nothing new. And now I'm stuck. And I'm left wondering: are these three-state buttons? Why do they work on things that aren't labelled with their symbol? And why do they do nothing for the things that are labelled with their symbol? And, more importantly, why am I trying to solve a sicklebrick map on a Saturday night after too much whiskey (or, "whisky", as you Scots like to say).

Lol, uhm.. None of them are tri-state buttons! Maybe you missed the instructions at the start?
It doesn't let you out untill you grab a cube (from a distance), throw it, then pause one cube by tapping E. Chances are I just screwed up the labeling, 'cause I hate that, but there's no nasty business with the buttons!

Have some vodka and try again, it balances out the whisky

Instructions? I received no instructions. What do I need to do to enable instructions? Is this posted in your OP?

I have no vodka. My Russian girlfriend drank it all. I have some Irish whiskey called "Feckin'", so am I doomed? Or just fecked? I have some young children to care for early tomorrow, so I'm going to bed. Perhaps some clarity will be evident by Monday.

Ahhh shit.. you probably have hints turned off.. I'll look into that

Right I was totally confused until I read that and entered "gameinstructor_enable 1" in the developer console. Even so, it was quite messy as it also overrlaid the beginner hints like "fire a blue portal"...

Thanks for the details gray'; I've switched the hints out for regular old game text. Hopefully it makes more sense now.
On a side note, did anyone discover the right click? It's not necessary to finish the level, but I wondered if anyone could use it
Edit:
Also fixed those missing icons and added an emergency cube respawn button. Hope it helps

Cool map, my solution is the same as PCdocs xD Like that visual style you have, only thing i didnt like was your soundscape choice, that constant squelching/metal type noise droning constantly made me a bit crazy, had to mute the audio.

Awesome map cant wait to see what you do with this idea

Sneaky sneaky!
Honestly, I did the entire thing with portal on mute. I don't think I even set a soundscape, but oh well, cheers for the vid ^^

Great one! Here is my solution:

There are still few minor bugs but I would love to see more maps using this mechanic!
You keep amazing me Sickle!

Well done man, that's the intended solution ^^
Little fiddly pausing the cube there, but you did it

I've got over 800 hours of playing time on this game, why would I have hints turned on? And YT has blocked Shakky's video solution in the US because EMI has claimed copyright infringement.

The vid should work now.

Yep.
