I guess you prefer maps that just serves everything in front of you with a sign next to it that says "do this" and another one next to it that says "next, do this", just so you can be amazed over how cool the game mechanics are and how well you were able to preform the same tasks a three year old could. I don't want to be judging, but I guess you are also the types that prefer the types of maps that only have portable surfaces where you are supposed to shot portals to solve the puzzels.No, I prefer puzzles where I know the objective and I know my tools to complete it. That way, the test is only on how I applied my knowledge. While the map did contain the correct tools (as with every other map), it didn't present them to me directly. I don't know what I'm looking for, or what I need to complete my task, etc. This map was less of a matter of solving puzzles and more of a matter of wandering aimlessly until you find the right place.
Also, you compared my intelligence with that of a three year old. Thanks, I really appreciated that.

Here you go! I made a test for you! Your objective is to fit all these different, easy to find, blocks into the different, equally easy to find, holes. There's a catch though, each block only correctly fits one hole! I've tried to put it all together so it was easy to understand. For example: I completed a part of the test for you so you could see how it's done and hopefully get the hang of it just by looking. Good luck!
If you still need help:
[spoiler]No, you do not need the blocks I've already used.[/spoiler]If you really want to challenge yourself, try to do it without the portal gun!

Here, I made one for you too. Same basic rules apply, everything you need to solve it is right there.

Quote from WinstonSmith on June 4, 2011, 10:44 pmAlrighty, before this turns into a fight: Jollepoker, I appreciate that you've a point to make but you can cool it a bit now.
In short: two different preferred map styles. Some like dealing directly with given elements, some like to explore more. Let's respect them both.

Quote from xdiesp on June 5, 2011, 11:08 pmI told you, it reminded me of some Myst age: these unfavorable reactions are nothing new, they parallel those to that game. Crushing solitude, unknown goals, tools with apparently no purpose, time ticking with uneasiness.
Exploration is like this, but some don't like it (as they are entitled to).

Quote from aignac on July 1, 2011, 4:45 pmVery nice map!
I realy enjoy it!The puzzle was medium for me.
But I think the secret is unsolvable. It was a large labyrinth with 3 puzzle element. I couldn't solve it without your demo.http://screenshot.xfire.com/s/115561460-4.jpg

You maked the map, so you knew what you must to do. - Ok the secret isn't unsolvable, but i cant solve it (2 hours) without help . It was very anoying for me because I do not even know where to begin the secret.
