[SP] Laser Funnel

PreviousPage 3 of 3

A very creative puzzle, it took me two hours to sort things out. Below is my video playthrough, hope just the way you meant it. I've rated it excellent! (5). :thumbup:

Portal 2 Laser Funnel

First of all, loved it. Gave me a nice challenge.
Secondly for some wierd reason the aiming reticle did not load and I was stuck guessing where I was aiming, not sure why.
Finally, for some wierd reason, on one of my attempts, the first cube would not spawn after I stupidly pressed the button about 5 times, had to reload the map.

Again loved the challenge.

*Edit* Looking at the youtube video above me I see not all people are having the reticle problem, not sure why I did, its the first time its happened

I'm playing custom maps and record my first time of playing them. So the run is not perfect and may not use only intended ways, but maybe it can let you see how other people may understand the map or you could just enjoy someone playing this map for entertainment.
Anyways, here is the recording:

Good map, well thought-out puzzles. But, in some places, it's excessively hard. The second puzzle got me stumped for a long time and, after watching a walkthrough video, I did it but would never even think of that solution. Also, I didn't know the jump in 2:00 of the video from Portal2Two (in this thread), was possible.
Other than that, I was able to solve it myself and am glad for that (maybe not in the intended way in 1st puzzle because I did not use all of the portalable surfaces). Thanks for the map!

Hey there, awesome map :) Hardest custom map I've played so far. I actually ragequit it 2 times and came back to it 3 times, when I finally figured it all out! But I found an unintended solution, however, it was sooo hard to come up with it that it might just be harder than the intended one so I totally suggest you don't fix it but leave it there instead :)

Here is a demonstration of the solution:

This map is really great !

Not overloaded, runs smoothly, very carefully designed ! The difficulty is just what I was looking for ! It's not too much for people that finished the original game.

Many thanks, congratulations, and please do some more !

I know this map is old but I downloaded it at some point in late 2011, and never finished it. Today I decided to come back to it, and fortunately I did finish this time around, and I'd just like to say this is an absolutely amazing map. The puzzles were all perfect, the map design (while unconventional visually) was nice to look at and the 'aha' moment was extremely satisfying.

5/5 :thumbup:

Nice map! The only complaint I have is that the 9-receiver puzzle has been used so often before. Also, the wall I needed to portal the laser out of seemed black (as in, no texture) so I didn't realize it was a portal surface.

The rest was a really cleverly designed, hard test. Well done!

:thumbup:

Really good map! A little overwhelming at first but once you spot the yellow numbers, all that's left is super tasty puzzle solving time. I'm pretty sure I did the map the way it was intended although I suspect there could be several ways to solve the 9 relay puzzle.

My only issue was that some textures (white wall closest to the two box droppers and the metal surround for one of the white panels in area 1) would slightly change colour based on my movement/aiming. I suspect your using the vertex version of some textures.

Anyway, it doesn't change the fact that this map is fresh feeling and has a great difficulty curve. It's also fun to play and tricky enough to not have you get frustrated, all while being very tasty to solve :)
