Thanks for the feedback guys, I posted a solution video in case someone needs a bit of help on some parts.

It was a strange beginning but as a puzzle it looks great and even though it looks chaotic, it's actually well thought-out. There's room for improvement but I still enjoyed it a lot.

muy buen nivel ya lo complete, pero vi que alguien ya lo subio, asi que para la proxima

Not beautify my solve but I made it.

I recorded my solution, but YT allows only 15 minutes length videos. Mine was 18 minutes. Sorry. I thought I would be of use for you. :-/

Thanks for you feedback @metzger Ben, Yes I can see you points, this chamber could been built on a different way to make it less chaotic and more clean, the solutions are consistent so probably it can be solved in 5 min if you speedrun it. Will have all this feedback in mind for my future projects.

Some suggestions:

* Remove the "intro" from the chamber, which is just showing off editor skill. It does not adds any value to the puzzle itself
* Remove at least 50% of the energy pellet destroyers. They are visually very present but don't add puzzle value. It's rather distracting
* Remove or better come up with a clever way for the 2nd retriever and remove the series of on/off steps. That felt like I'm the idiot rather than I'm the genius at solving
* Idearly you seprate the puzzle into 3 rooms. Introduce the suckage of energy pellets in the first room, have it more advanced in thge 2nd room and create a puzzle with a cube and fizzers as final room, where I have to use portals clever instead of buttons and flipping walls.

I hope you advance in chamber building. I'm looking further to have another go later.

Hi Naxreus, you asked me on YouTube for my feedback. Because I don't know your age I hope I am as polite as possible.

The short and brutal answer is I don't like the chamber at all. In comparison with the finest chambers out there (which is ofc a unfair comparison to a beginner) your chamber is solution wise very random (multiple tries needed) and very linear.

There is this saying "Everybody can make a hard puzzle by adding more and more mechanics into ONE puzzle." (Something like that).

I did not feeled like I needed expert knowledge about portal to solve any of the steps. It was just frustration after frustration.

After 1 hour or so I achieved the 2nd energy pellet retriever and gave up on the next ball button challenge, which hopefully leaded to the exit. I don't know.

I wanted to record the solution, but I'm guessing it would be a 15 minutes 2GB videos or more and I skipped that idea.

What do you mean @lapicidas? the excution of getting to the second reciever is the same, the change was the ball have to travel less distance vertically to get the reciever to avoid how easly it can get miss aligned there and miss, that caused more frustration than needed when you had everything right.

The completely misplaced saying that after the update nothing has changed in the solution, you can save yourself. on the contrary, it is ashamed.

Ok when I first played this map I gave up at the second catcher, because it was just slightly off everytime. Then today I can back and some how got the pellet into the second catcher. Which lead me to completing to map. Over all quite a few issues, but the flinging is fun and the solutions are quite clever.

Ahhh, now I found the correct move to bring the first pellet in the catcher If you know how to execute, it isn*t that hard!
In one of the updates you changed the floor surface and so it is much harder to bring the second pellet at its place

cool

Gonna upload the solution video in some days

@Naxreus I would be very interested in this "tricky" solution. Please show me.

Thanks for the feedback guys, yeah @lapicidas I will have this in mind for my future tests, when I was testing this I had a way to make the pellets always consistent but its tricky sometimes to find the right solution.

Btw: the name of the map is too long for the scoreboard

The rest of the game is a lot of interesting fling-fling to get the sphere into the different bowls - not
easy but fun to play. I definitely give you a thumbs up. If the part with the pellet catcher were a bit more logical I would add it to my favorites.

Hmmm, I don't know exactly how I should rate this map.
First of all the positive: fantastic scenery with a lot of attention to details. Large bright rooms with lots of bells and whistles - I love that. It's a bit of a shame that you can't do too much in the beginning. I was able to open the hatch to the CC but it is locked behind the fizzler.
Now to the main room: Bringing the energy pellet into the catcher that activates the ball dispenser is not a 100% thinking - it is mainly a trial and error, and also has to do with luck. I distracted the pellet with the sucker and also brought it into a controlled loop, but that it finally ends up in this catcher is a very tiring and boring affair. I only succeeded once after hours with luck - after that I cheated this part. And bad is that if you put the pellet in the wrong catcher first, the game is over - basically a trap!!!

Definitely expert skill needed... definitely worth it, congrats! =D

About to try out this map. From the BEE2.4 discord server.

great
