[SP] Ignition

Page 1 of 8Next

Ignition is my fourth map and the idea was to break from the "as hard as possible" program and make something a little more accessible. That wasn't totally successful because it still turned out to be quite a difficult puzzle. It's not as hard as some of my previous maps however.
Full solution video is: [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na1RZ8MKGd4]here[/url]
If you manage to solve it, you might like to try the challenge version: solve it again by only pressing the spark button once, and without using the horizontal wall portal in the funnel room.
Many thanks to Xtreger for playtesting this map from the early stages.
I hope you enjoy it.
v1.1: fixed a minor portal-bump problem for the first cube. also rendered without HDR for improved visibility.
v1.2: made the death field pit near the exit deeper to block some unintended solutions.
v1.3: fix to prevent shooting a portal from the lightbridge
v1.4: fix for crashing bug

Nope, sorry. :p
I'm not into this timer and fast-portaling stuff.
Just a short note (the only thing I noticed, because I didn't really play the map): You can lose your first redirection-cube if you throw it into the upper room (at least I think so). So a button to get a new one would come in handy.

My opinion is little bit different ^^ I like that timer and fast portaling stuff. After nearly 3 hours I managed how to cross the river in funnel room, but laser is off and cubes are trapped in middle room, so my solution is probably wrong :D Anyway, I like this puzzle just as your other maps, because it can't be finished in one evening, at least by me. I'll give it another try tomorrow, today I gave up :)

Nice one grey! I see you and Xtreger really like crazy laser angles :)
After 1 1/2 h I need a break! All this geometrical stuff is making me dizzy.

Spoiler
I'm in the funnel room with 5 cubes and was able to activate all catchers. I've three cubes inside the funnel so I can switch between the catchers. But now I'm stuck.
Btw is it intended that I can shoot through the tiny glasshole by standing on a cube on the bridge?
I'll try to find a solution tomorrow.

I can't wait to test this but it will have to wait for another day because I don't have much time now and I think this might take a while. I will try this later though and I will give you feedback then.

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

Awww I couldn't stop myself and played it again. Dude that is so sick! This is your best map in my opinion. Very creative useage of the funnels and so many little dirty tricks. I'll try to make a video of my solution. This might take some time because the lasers are hard to setup. Big 5/5 from me! Well done. Image

@Szieve and Senf: the first room doesn't require "timing" or "fast portaling" :lol:
@Jacu and marKiu: thanks for the kind words. It's still worth it to map, even if only a few people "get it". Can't wait to see the video.

Welcome back, Gray Lord of Difficulty. I'm about 25 minutes into this, and I have both cubes in the first room. But I have stuff to do, so I'm going to give this a fresh start tomorow.

@Szieve and Senf: No quick portaling so far! I've had no trouble so far playing with a controller, but I have a long way to go, I'll bet.
