[SP] Tangled up in Blue (Minimalism 5)

Page 1 of 2Next

Minimalism is a collection of very small, contained, simply-designed yet challenging maps. Get the whole series [url=http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=82055322]here[/url].

The 5th and (for a while, at least) final map in the series sees test subjects with a little more weaponry in their arsenal, given the cobalt trio of a lightbridge, blue gel pipe and a funnel. Could well be the easiest map in the series, but there's extra fun to be had for advanced players in trying to get at Ratman's Companion Cube...

Ha, well, I don't have nearly enough time to do a full-on map for the contest (though I really would have liked to) but while I was away last week I had time to jot down this idea in a notepad; took less than a day to do the actual mapping.

I figured it was best to put it out now rather than next week when the storm of contest submissions hits and draws everyone's attention. Besides, while you guys are all busy beavering away there might be some puzzle-starved punters out there looking for a fix....

Well sir your consideration is much appreciated. I'll be sure to give this a try myself sometime.

Yet another awesome map. :thumbup:

After a dozen tries with techniques from the previous maps I finally came up with this solution. I couldn't figure out how to get to the companion cube yet

Looking forward to playing this later this evening when I get home from the office! I've really enjoyed this entire series of maps El!

zivi - Yeah, pretty much as intended except for

Spoiler
painting the wall - that's what the angled panel was supposed to be for, though it hardly matters.
As for getting the cube - it's a bit of an unorthodox method, for sure. By which I mean that if you spend too much time on it you may wish to punch me in the face when you find out how it's done.

Xtreger, rock_n_rage - Cheers, hope you have fun!

That isn't how I did it at all. I can't believe how hard I made this one on myself. I timed a funnel ride up so I was just below lasers just before it ran out, portaled through the angled panel, bounced, crouched, and I'm up. Needless to say, there were many deaths attempting this route. Next time, Roger, try the easy things first!

Hi, El. Nice puzzle again. The way to get the cube ... I always feel suspicious when I see the security camera on a portable surface.
