Simple and enjoyable! Landed perfectly on the grating , didn't seem very ninja.

Person named hub below me did the last part in a more elegant way then me.

When I arrived at the exit, instead of placing my orange portal in the room with the grating, I quickly placed it on the ceiling instead (and had to move/fall into the exit room at the same time). Then I proceeded to fall through my blue portal in the exit room. From there it follows the same approach hub had.

I think this is‘t very logical.

The first @Prototype's solution is awesome. And I didn't know that it's possible to climb up as in the second one, ha-ha. I'll probably remove my ugly experiment.

It was all well and good until it turned into another ninja bullshit. Good final moves though.

Intended solution https://youtu.be/VmoRcaoxlMQ ?
No need in light bridge (unintended): https://youtu.be/fFB26FM4-oM ! A few attempts were cut out to decrease the file size.

wow i cant believe i finished one of your crazy hard fling,strafe,jump maps. yay!

Great puzzle, albeit a bit unforgiving in places! That is, assuming I did it the right way i.e. 1. cube on button by cube oscillating between floor portals in light bridge room and laser room then shoot portal at wall next to button, then go to laser room, jump down and fling up onto light bridge 2. My end move was jump off light bridge to end room floor and shoot portal to fling onto the grating platform. But it would be good to know if I'm right or not?

Solved it :D I think i got the cube the the button the correct way, portaled the bottom of the bridge. Stuck one portal on the distant wall while jumping to the end from the bridge, and portaled the floor in the end to fling onto the grating platform.

This map is amazing. Well done.

Finished this one and saw some videos posted here, and my playtrhough was very similar to Innocentive; I tried to use the grating as greykarel, but I failed a couple of jumps and then moved to the innocentive solution, which requires extra portals and flings but is very cool too.

Another little bug - water glitch :)

Ok little bug - the fizzler model pokes through the wall a little

Another premier map from the resident Genius. Forcing the player to portal underneath the Light Bridge by raising it up higher caused me a lot of consternation. Not to mention constipation. But I finally managed to flush out the solution. You have been so consistent and everyone checks and checks . . . just waiting for your next release !!

@josepezdj: is there a walkthrough in this hypochromatik map?

Portal Bump <3

Great design ! (but I had to play without sound because the repetitive music was a bit annoying to me ^^) It took me time to solve it, well done

Two solutions , you may already know about the second one and have decided not to fix it. But I think the first one is good. The colour scheme is unique and interesting, and I really like the design.

Hey man! Just thought I'd let you know about the run I did:https://www.dropbox.com/s/39uzg7g8325w6lp/jose_route.dem
I don't think this was intended, but part of it was very smart logic, especially moving that cube past the fizzler and onto the button!

Heh, I suppose you could later make a "HypoChromatik post-competition edition" with black surfaces :P

@quaternary: thanks for keeping on playing, man! :D OK, noted, I'll do something with that button ;) although I might change something more in the map, a heavy change avoiding the damn fling-based solutions :p

Oh, it's totally different now :/ Welp time to solve it again

Could you change the button up top to a floor button? Right now it's really frustrating to oscillate the box up there (unless I'm doing it wrong?)

Wow... you fixed it good. Some stylistic improvements (that's really all that's left):

> Try a different soundscape instead of the utility soundscape you actually used. I used TestChamber.Industrial_muffled_03.
> Add another fizzler
> Didn't even need the platform after trying the intended solution. Just portal momentum...again.

Wonderful work as usual. I also enjoyed the soundtrack, it helped me to focus more. I do confess, though, that I looked at graykarel's video for the last step.

Very well done :) I won't prevent that because I should use more water, I can't think of a better way to prevent that.... and I'm afraid that my water could be considered as 2 items, and I'm at 15 atm, so it's not possible :( I might update te map after the contest ;)

Thanks for playing! :D

Cheers!

Here you go: click .

Sure, Piranha.A! show me a video and maybe I can try to avoid it to force the usage of the little grill ;) Thanks in advance, mate!

I finally found the reason for the lightbridge in the exit section and could make the exit :)

Watching grey's video I noticed that I did the final step more difficult than it needed to be. The way I solved it that little platform was basically unneccessary (I was asking myself from the beginning why that was there!). If you're interested I'll make a video...

yes I solved it! Final fling is totally insane :P

Thanks for the video Grey. Totally as intended ;) I hope you liked despite finding it easy :P

I updated the map to avoid any possible fling-based shortcut, I hope I finally did! Btw, the map is getting the look of a more advanced test than I intended.

Nice and easy (ofc if my solution is any close to intended).

Nvm I'm just stupid :3

DAMN this one's hard!!!

I'm not really a fan of the infinite fall required on the left; would it compromise the test to make the fizzler vertical at the top of the pipe?

Amazing usage of the cube to gain more distance for momentum ;)

Map updated to v1.4

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/67642758/Portal%202/hc_3.dem

I second RectorRocks. I can still use portal momentum with a touch of persistence to essentially complete the same solution as before.

(What I find ironic is that you are the same guy who created the Hammer version of toncica's White Room :P Of course, in that test not everything was portalable.)

Unintended solution because a full white room is always breakable :P
I was expecting a cold feeling to the chamber because it had the prefix " hypo ". Close enough haha

Thanks for mapping!
Cheers! :)

Great work. if you have the time, can you try out my test? http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=265549292 thanks.

Argrgrgr.... damn white rooms! :D OK, it's true that I opened more shortcuts with the latest update. Hopefully it is fixed in v1.3.

Thanks for the demos/videos guys!

When I tried to solve this yesterday evening I didn't even get close to exiting this chamber. But with the last update you opened another unintended solution: see here . I'm not even sure though that the way I get to the exit side of the chamber is intended.

As to the intended solution, I'm really curious why and how I would need the light bridge on the exit side of the chamber. Couldn't figure that out yet :)

Beautiful puzzle so far, I think im stuck at the same spot as srs though.

Is this the right version? [www.mediafire.com] (demo file)

what version are you playing to?

Oh I almost forgot: I didn't even need the redirection cube (I discovered that just before I completed the test) :P

Didn't use any of the stuff on the right of the entrance. Still an interesting portal momentum puzzle though.

@cyhborg: hehe, that move you describe is not the one I want. Map updated to v1.2
:P

@Srs: Thanks man! :D I was really looking forward to hear your opinion on the visuals ;)

Man, I love this! The visuals are so nice and the puzzle is really clever. I'm still working on actually get out the door, but I've been making progress.

Not sure if I solved it properly, but I stood on the light bridge (which is channeled across the corridor in the 3rd picture) so that I can fire a portal at the passage that leads to the laser while strafing to land on the upper exit room, so I'm able to channel the laser directly to the catcher .

Thanks eMbAh, Piranha.A and Requiemsoul for spotting those shortcuts :)

I hope they're fixed now. Updated to v1.1

Thanks for playing!!

Looks like a clever puzzle but with an obvious shortcut. I did it probably the same way as eMbAh.
