I did it as intended, with one minor difference. I put a lightbridge next to the permanent bridge and put the cube on it whioh gave me more time to get to the dropper once I went through the fizzler. It wan't really needed, I know, but standing close to laser fields and reaching through them makes me nervous (and resulted in one death anyway).

Aah, coolcool. That's how I was doing it when testing the map - nervous about laserfields too!

Awesome puzzle Sickle! Took me more than 45 minutes to complete it. I raged quit in my first run so I can't do a blindrun but I made you a solution video! :)
Here's my solution:

Is it intended? :p

5/5! Cheers! :D

Heh, nice :) I like how everyone has a slightly different solution.

Well, I did slightly different. I never fizzled the cube. I think it's cool to destroy the cube and grab a new one right before it falls to the button, though it's not necessary. Same as Mevious did, you can simply leave the cube on top of the bridge, and get to the last button on the left by portalling that ceiling white tile. Once in that button, you deactivate the fizzler, place a portal on the wall and the other beside you to grab the cube :wink:

I really wanted to block that way, but I guess it's just as hard as the normal route. Oh well :)

Yes, I also solved getting the cube to the button the way Mevious and a few others did it. It felt somewhat natural as the user had been thought that you can get to the light bridge without a cube. The idea to catch the respawning cube is somewhat neat though, it'd be nie if that could be required.

It's a bit of an odd, but interesting map in that you can screw yourself over right to the very last second. So I did that once, getting to the exit area without a cube. I guess there are windows so you can know in advance, but maybe it'd be nice to have some sort of warning signal. Not sure what, though. Or, when you do get stuck there, get killed off with a Glados message and neurotoxin or whatever, so there's at least some sort of acknlowledgement of this. Also there's no sound, which feels a bit awkward. Final comment: I'm not sure what the portable surface next to the light bridge portable surface is for, for you can already hit the bridge from the x-marked button.

Yeah, would be nice if it was required... but I guess that ship has sailed >.<

As for the exit room, honestly, I got the bulk of the map done and plain couldn't be bothered.
I thought through a few mechanics.. but being stuck seemed to do the trick :)

Here is the unintended solution Sickle already fixed. I still decided to post it here because I liked it.

That sure is a nice map you got there. It would be a shame if someone broke it.

I got it.
I GOT IT !!

I really, really got it !!!!
