"An error occured while downloading this map!"
Mevious and Zogor experienced this before. The problem relates to some maps released in 2012. Reuploading fixed the issue.

Very easy but a fun level.

Difficulty 2/10
Fun 6/10
I also found it easy, but I want you to know I really appreciate you making this puzzle. It keeps the game fun, and it is something I do almost every day before I start working, I solve a couple puzzles to get my mind ready for problem solving for the day.

Thank you for the daily warmup.

Yes, took a little while to work out the correct angle for the laser, but excellent.

greyarea 5 Jun, 2012 @ 7:11am

Thanks

TBJ 31 May, 2012 @ 10:39am

Good, but there was really only one bit which made me think twice

Relatively simple puzzle. Fun for what exists but felt like it should have more to it.

COMP DBD 1 V 1 19 May, 2012 @ 12:28am

A little too easy, you can figure everything out in a couple of seconds.

edeslash [author] 18 May, 2012 @ 11:53am

Don't forget to play my new level Enlightened Ascent for a real challenge! Prepare to think with portals. http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=72554735

chiba 18 May, 2012 @ 6:35am

I like it.

Le Petit Mort 18 May, 2012 @ 2:17am

There are some very novel elements at play here; very well done!

Oxyde 17 May, 2012 @ 11:24am

Nothing too complicated, I liked it! Simple puzzle, a nicely made chamber overall. What I especially like is that there is some "Valve" feeling, it's a small room and nothing un-needed.

snackerfork 16 May, 2012 @ 9:36pm

Good stuff! Nice difficulty balance, fun puzzles. My only minor problem is that it wasn't entirely clear when I actually hit both buttons, since the gel dropper was behind me and the timing for pressing them is so tight. I was halfway through doing it over when I noticed the blue gel had dropped.

TrippyOwl 16 May, 2012 @ 3:14am

way too easy :/

vmaikel 15 May, 2012 @ 8:22am

not hard, but very amusing

Hinna 15 May, 2012 @ 4:41am

Great map, but would be awesome if the last part could be harder to solve :)

Save Widowmaker 13 May, 2012 @ 5:16pm

Pretty easy but still fun.

edeslash [author] 13 May, 2012 @ 2:37pm

I mostly wanted it there to utilize the cube a bit more and have one more step in the puzzle. I don't like deadly hazards anyway, so I wanted it to be a fairly simple one to remove.

Dittu 13 May, 2012 @ 2:32pm

Nicely done; small and efficient. However, passing the laser barrier was a bit too simple.

Spike 13 May, 2012 @ 12:46pm

This was right at the perfect difficulty level for me. Great map!

Adam^2 13 May, 2012 @ 9:10am

Took a moment to wrap my head around this one. I almost felt like I cheated with the lasers, which is a good feeling.

edeslash [author] 13 May, 2012 @ 8:49am

Thanks to you all for your kind comments and numerous subscriptions!

Now, it's time to move on to some more challenging testing. From the lovely purple face which brought you Excessively Horizontal and Collective Scrutiny, I present to you: Suspiciously Linear!

http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=71822515

More complex, more challenging, more FUN!

Gerald 13 May, 2012 @ 8:37am

Very fun, loved the restricted use of blue gel here.

Chris 12 May, 2012 @ 9:44pm

Good map, though getting the lasers in the right position once you figured out what to do got a bit tedious, maybe I'm just not a very good laser test subject.

Potch 12 May, 2012 @ 2:50pm

Simple. I got sliced by the lasers once for not paying attention.

Scarboro 12 May, 2012 @ 1:51pm

Very enjoyable - strikes a good balance between challenge and fun. Some of the comments about how 'easy' this and other chambers are make it seem like we're all in a competition to see who can pee highest up the wall. Just gotta show a bit of solidarity brothers and sisters!

XaetaCore 12 May, 2012 @ 11:31am

Easy and fun

circuitsmith 12 May, 2012 @ 10:49am

Interesting, but i feel like the lazer grille was unnecessary. You can navigate around it somewhat easily, but it does add a level of complexity.

edeslash [author] 12 May, 2012 @ 8:16am

If you want to see more from me, try my new level Collective Scrutiny! It's longer and a bit more complex.

vlxlt 12 May, 2012 @ 8:15am

Very cool. I liked it.

Devasta 12 May, 2012 @ 4:24am

Liked this one. Interesting puzzle.

Cadaver 12 May, 2012 @ 2:42am

Wow, wayyyyy too easy. Man I can't find any hard puzzles anymore..

VinLAURiA 11 May, 2012 @ 6:46pm

Fairly simple once you notice the laser relay, but it still had me scratching my head for a minute or so.

edeslash [author] 11 May, 2012 @ 5:11pm

All right, fixed, thanks to Sniper_John_Uk.

edeslash [author] 11 May, 2012 @ 5:08pm

Actually, no need, I figured this out myself and I'll fix it right away.

Very sloppy of Valve. Are grills supposed to work like this?

edeslash [author] 11 May, 2012 @ 5:06pm

Could you maybe take a video of this? I'd greatly appreciate it. Didn't exactly understand from that explanation.

Sniper_John_Uk 11 May, 2012 @ 5:04pm

Solved by cheating. Can place a portal on your side of the grill, then shoot another at it, to place it on the OTHER side of the grill

Venzny 11 May, 2012 @ 4:13pm

I wouldn't call it EXCESSIVE

Malibloo 11 May, 2012 @ 4:06pm

A nice little puzzle. Tere's a lot of open space on the other side of the fizzler however. You could perhaps put another step inbetween the blue goo and the timed buttons.

edeslash [author] 11 May, 2012 @ 4:06pm

Another (and hopefully the last) update to eliminate some absurdly unlikely cheating. Thanks for all your feedback and playthroughs so far!
