Very small, clean, single puzzle chamber, with every surface portalable. Somewhat of a companion piece to my previous map 'Imp', which also revolved around one button, one cube and one funnel.

Very nice one El!! I figured it out very quicky because I'm using THAT maneuver in one of my mod's puzzles!! It's great! Here is the video:

Congrats! I loved the clean style as well. Have you got more pieces like this? I'd be glad to play them!

Ha, that's happened to me a fair few times recently - I've even scrapped one chamber after playing one of zivi7's maps that was really similar....

The style is actually just for expediency - I wasn't planning on working on any more maps for a while but I wanted to get this idea down as I'd never seen it done. It looked terrible in the PTI version, though, so I ran it through Hammer quickly to spruce it up a bit. Like I say in the description, it's very similar in style and nature to my previous map 'Imp'.

I think if I make any more maps over the next few months they're probably gonna be this sort of size and style, as I'll be dividing my time between the house and volunteer work and also have a fair bit of study to be doing....

Oh, of course. I was almost doing the right thing, damn it. What's especially nice is that everything's portalable. Very good!

Hi, El. Another nice little chamber. The intended solution is great, but you should use less portable surfaces or else your good puzzle could be broken by the way like this

That was cool! I love little fling maps like this (even resisted all temptation to use glitches), cheers El'

@greykarel - thanks for the screenshot. There's also this:

Still, neither is such a large problem that I'd bother to fix them unless I found an elegant way to do so. Which I totally did:

The nice thing about that is that it also prevented the other exploit that made me move the door back, so now the chamber can be entirely portalable...

I somehow got the cube to stick to the button even on that tiny ledge. It was an odd combination of the funnel and just nudging the cube.

Looking at that intended solution, I don't think I could have solved this puzzle anyways. Cheers, that solution blew me away.
