Better than the average, gray area maps it's shaped like: see how it's threedimensional when most would have just gone with a flat space of death. Puzzle's comprehensive and chamber-wide (thankfully without much backtracking as in similar ones), but by the end I wasn't sure if I was following the intended solution.

Something that could be addressed in a future update, would be additing a distinguishing element to the featureless wall on the right. To capture attention: maybe a crack, or monitor.

Heh -- well, "better than a gray flat space of death" is definitely a better starting place than the alternative. Thanks for that. I think.

In all seriousness, though, thanks for the comment. I did spend a fair bit of time messing with the design, trying to avoid that very look, so it's good to hear the effort wasn't in vain. And yeah, now that you mention it -- when I go back to tweak things I'll see if I can't do something better with that right-hand wall.

Now I'm curious what you did at the end, though, if you happen to recall? If not, no worries. I know there's one small piece of the overall puzzle that has a couple of variants, but it's certainly possible I missed others.

It was "gray area" maps: those "normal" looking chambers in clean style. As in, better than its genre average.

It's possible to reach the exit without [spoiler]activating the second funnel[/spoiler].
It's more easy than find the second button

...Whoops, so it is. Well, damn. Thanks much for pointing that out; I tested and tested and completely missed that that was possible until you said so.

(In case I'm missing another solution, is this basically what you did?

[spoiler]Fling yourself up to the left-hand chamber, and put portals in place so that the blue funnel is heading over towards the exit-door button. Then go back down to the main chamber, get the cube, and hold it up over your head to get it into the blue funnel... wait a while for the funnel to take it over to the button, then put your portals someplace else so the cube falls down on to the button and opens the door.[/spoiler])

Also, thanks, xdiesp -- sorry for the belatedness, missed your response somehow.

Exactly that. (I suck at english and explaining this was an harder challenge than the map, for me. So thank you for discovering that by yourself )

Great -- that'll be easy enough to fix, at least. (And hey, no problem. Thanks again for letting me know that it could be done.)

Excellent challenge, bordering on hard to figure out the solution. Once determined the execution was challenging but not really hard... Lots of excursion funnel work but fun. Thanks for creating.

Thanks very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it and found it a good challenge.
