Forum | Thinking With Portals

#1 · August 1, 2013, 7:38 am

This is a remake of the eighth map from the No Elements mappack. The puzzle was designed by Mevious and the map was remade by Fluppy the Fluxton.

---

"No Elements" chambers are maps without any testing elements. Instead of using funnels, bridges, buttons and cubes you have to think with portals - because using portals is the only way to solve these tests.

Special thanks to:
Mevious - for letting me to remake this map and adding it to the No Elements collection
Josepezdj, Pitkakorva, Warnightify, Strnadik - for their help and feedback

Looks fantastic and I love all the dynamic stuff.

One thing about the puzzle - I can't remember how I did it in the original version, but

Spoiler

am I not supposed to use the angled panel in the side room? I didn't need to...

Well done, both of you. The best part was that I played the original a while ago and forgot the solution. :-D

5/5

Yes, I believe there was a solution in the original where you didn't need the angled panel...I don't remember if it was an exploit though.

You don't need that, but

the panel has been added for people who have troubles with air control. If you placed the portal into the pit with the white floor and used the ceiling near entrance to gain the momentum, you did it correctly. If the portal is on the angled surface or in the pit - that doesn't matter. Even Mevious told me that panel isn't necessary but I like to keep it there.

And thank you both for your positive feedback!

Excellent job! The map looks marvelous and I really enjoyed the puzzle. It has been a while since I played the original map but the solution did come back to me almost instantly so this one didn't take long.

Still a very enjoyable ride. Thanks for creating!

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

This took me longer than it should have to figure out. But the map was created so well that I didn't mind spending that much time it.
