Absolutely amazing and beautiful logic. It took me roughly 3 and a half hours to beat this map. Each step and each move and constellation is excellently thought out. I would be interested in how long it took you to come up with this.

@mentallentil
Heeey, you made it! That's quite an impressive feat, well done!

Took me a solid 3 hours, faved

I didn't confuse the futbols most of the time, and once I did, I created a quicksave and destroyed one or pushed a button to see where it came from ^^
I'm gonna push another button now, and it's called "favourite" :-)

@SpielSatzFail
I'm very happy to hear you enjoyed the experience, even though such a convoluted map inevitably causes some frustration during the solving process and requires some mental fortitude. In those times, it helps a lot to take a break, like you did. I hope you didn't lose track of the futbols too often, I do wish there was a way to colourize them just like cubes! Anyway congratulations for beating them, that's no small feat and it shows you have great determination... and patience! That's the kind of map I'm not sure I'd be able to solve, if I hadn't made it myself! XD

I tamed the beast ^^ Never did I play a map before in which I wished for two or three quicksave slots XD
I was in for three hours (first session) and tried a lot of stuff with only little progress. Most of the time I was looking what was IMpossible to find the possible things ;-) ... I was getting out of ideas and took a break, fearing that what I had accomplished was only half the story or less. Turns out that in my second session I was done after an additional 40 minutes! Man was I glad. Very rewarding finale woo-hoo!
The map shows the ending move pretty clearly so I was sure it was necessary to get both items out of the left room . This basically began at my three hour mark, the rest was plain sailing, surprisingly.
After a frustrating start which made me lose faith in myself, the map turned out to be pretty enjoyable. It's a thumbs up and even close to a favourite (the jurors in my head have yet to decide ;-)
Btw I'm fine with the 8/10 difficulty rating.

@NLuziaf
I get your point, but on the other hand, playing a series in order seems like the logical thing to do. I won't deny this is still a monstrosity, however! Glad you enjoyed it anyway, and sorry but I have no idea what playlist this is :P

My honest review:

This chamber is a monstrosity, why? Because this chamber requires me to play the previous "Fleetingness series" chambers to JUST get some basics to the puzzle, which will take me more time if I haven't played it yet.

Overall, this chamber is a very great chamber (to make streamers suffer /jk) and I favourited it.
I'm coming from "Brainfucc: THE PLAYLIST".

@Mr Fab
Thanks for the nice words, and congrats on solving this beast! I saw you played it live, shame that I missed it, I followed your Twitch channel so hopefully I'll catch one of your streams some day!
Thank you also for uploading it to YT, I'll watch it when I have the time :)

Oh boy that was hard ! I didn't do everything the intended way too.

But I loved it, the moves are smart, the design is pretty and it was so satisfying to beat the puzzle

Big and favorited !

@Aneonen
Thank you for playing and for the extensive feedback! Subtle puzzle states are often what make hard puzzles such a challenging task, and this one is no exception. Indeed there is some leeway in the solution and I'm fine with that. Great job solving the whole thing!

Great puzzle! I trusted the description, but I was still surprised with the amount of complexity squeezed out of this setup, in particular with the cyclical movements needed to slowly approach a sufficiently nice state. These positions were a bit delicate, but that made them exciting.

Although I think that I'd normally dislike how limited visibility is between the two major regions of the map, I enjoyed the visual consistency with Fleetingness #2, as if it had been embedded into its successor. In general, the thematic consistency of the moves in this series was quite nice.

I performed the solution slightly differently than listed, (in particular, I rearranged my portals nicely before performing the move to collect the second futbol for the last time instead of after, which meant that the final cube setup was reversed. ) but kept with its spirit.

@Omega
Thank you for the videos! I believe you unnecessarily repeated some steps in a couple of places, but all the moves from the intended solution are there so it's all good. Congrats for solving this challenging puzzle!

@Spider_Dawg
This type of very challenging map isn't for everyone, so no problem. Still thanks for giving it a try!
@klaus.sfc01
Thank you very much for the praised, and congrats on solving it!

finally solved it. it is so awesome i can't even describe it

Awesome puzzle, but no, I did not have the patience to explore all 65,536 possible scenarios. On another note, I did come across a stuck-up piston lift glitch twice while playing this Fleetingness series: Stuck-up piston

@FROYO shade
Thanks a lot for playing and for the video! It was fun to watch. You're right that your move at 6:13 is not intended, and it's a bit of a shame as it allows to bypass what I'd consider to be the most interesting steps. Also the move at 4:38 where you throw the futbol up, place a portal and grab the futbol isn't intended either. I thought the ceiling was low enough to prevent it, but I guess not. I'll have to fix it. If you're interested to know the whole intended solution, there's a link at the end of the description :)

Brilliant puzzle! Took me a bit over 2 hours to solve without any hints and with some extra thinking while outside. The atmosphere is intimidating, and the music fits it well. Liked & favourited!

Video of my solution: https://youtu.be/hyzwaGm0Szc
I have a feeling I did an unintended move at 6:13, yet it didn't feel difficult to pull off.
And I apologise for the crappy quality, but my computer can't handle much :D

@Spacekitty
Yeah I think it's safe to say that this is my hardest map to date. Very well done solving it! I'm glad you enjoyed the journey and felt satisfied reaching the end. Thank you!

Wow this was tough, but Im happy to say that after a LOT of time thinking about this, I finally managed to finish it. I was quite scared going into this considering this was your first map that had a 8/10 difficulty rating, and sure enough, the solution is very long and complex but figuring it out felt very satisfying. A definite favorite for sure. Great job!

@asears16
Well I'd say less than 2 hours is a pretty good time! Thanks for playing and for the video :)

Fantastic logic puzzle, Leo...I quite enjoyed it. It was quite tricky for me, as it took me over almost two hours in total to solve.

@Mikeastro
Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed solving it! I'm still in the process of watching your blind run ;)

Outstandingly clever map - added to favourites. My blind run.

Yeah, I had that too. It's really satisfying to watch.

@jandlml
Great job! Your tenacity is truly impressive. I believe the glitch you describe is the same as shown in this video by Narkodes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETp8VogFei0
It's really weird, I'm pretty sure with some previous versions of BEE, that thing didn't happen. Anyway thanks a lot for playing and for the fav :)

@jandlml great

yeah!! i got it, if i had stuck with my first instincts i would have finished an hour ago. great map!! faved. thanks for the patience

i guess that was the wrong move haha

haha i wish i knew how to take videos correctly, i broke the map its kind of funny. i put the first futbol in the second futbols receptacle and hit the respawn. well it definitely didnt like that. it keeps respawning over and over again. there is broken futbol all over the place. lol

well now i have them all in the wrong room lol https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2025971269

oh boy, i thought oh wow i got it, i made it all the way to the first room with both cubes then i realized i needed both futbols too. i was so excited. now i have to go back, i hate not knowing where i can save. shoot

@Narkodes
Thanks, happy you enjoyed this little quickie!
@Joric
Excellent work! The timestamps are are well chosen as well

Update 3, 10 minutes: https://youtu.be/qCnjX3pbtMA semi-official with timings.

Nice easy map by the way!

@Joric
Impressive explanation, however I don't think that's very useful given that you already linked a video... Also I reckon jandlml probably doesn't want the full solution, but rather hints to know how to move forward.
@jandlml
You are right to assume that your 1st screenshot isn't right. As you said, leaving the CC on the yellow button prevents you from connecting the two rooms, and that's a problem. But your 2nd screenshot looks promising! And yeah it's a shame we're in such different timezones :/

3. Bring CF to 1st room:
3.1 Fling up to the bridge, grab RF, bring RF to 2nd room (upper holder)
3.2 Put CC on RB, put RF into lower holder, connect rooms
3.3 Goto 2nd room (via portal), CC to RB, goto 1st room (via portal)
3.4 Shoot 2 portals in 1st room, fling into hallway, go 2nd room
3.5 Break RF, stand on YB, portal back, bring RC to 2nd room
3.6 RC on YB, juggle yourself to RF, bring RF to 2nd room
3.7 STACK CUBES ON YB (CC on top), break RF, quickly go to PB room, set portal
3.8 BRING CF INTO 1st ROOM (via portal), throw into backup holder. (Almost done!)

4. Ending:
4.1. PUT CC onto RB in the 2nd room, get back to 1st room (via portals)
4.2. Respawn RC, put on RB, get CF, put into Bridge holder, fling RC to hallway, 2nd room
4.3. Press YB, portal to bridge, respawn RC with PB, bring RC to 2nd room, bring CC to 1st room
4.4. Respawn RC. STACK CUBES ON RB (CC on top), get RF, exit

Complete walkthrough as text, specially for @jandlml:

RC/CC - Regular/Companion Cubes, RF/CF - RC/CC futbols, RH/CH - RC/CC holders,
BB/YB/RB/PB - Blue/Yellow/Red/Pedestal buttons

1. Enter 2nd room:
1.1 RC to Stairs
1.2 RF to Light Bridge Holder
1.3. Fling RC into mid room, RC to Laser Grid, enter 2nd room

2. Connect rooms:
2.1 CC to YB, portal in CC PB room, press PB
2.2. CC to RB, portal under Piston, jump from CC via portals to Piston
2.4. Grab CC Futbol, put in holder
2.5. CC to YB, climb stairs, set portals, break Futbol, jump out
2.6. RC to RB, portal under the bridge

its so hard that we are all on different times. i hate having to wait an entire day in getting a reply. lol

how about this? https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2024923775 i have the other cube up there on the button so i can get back up there ,but i cant keep a connection from this area to the other. wow great map!

i think im screwed https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2024904388

ugg i think i know what the solution is but i still cant get the ccube into the first room. i came out of the second room with the cube on the portal gun button. is that right ? but in doing that i loose my connection to that room ugg

thanks i keep trying

@Narkodes
Wtffff lol. Futbols are so broken!
@Joric
I added a anti-trapping pedestal button next to the futbol holder without connections, that will deactivate the laserfield for 5 seconds, in case you get stuck in there

@Leomievs, what's in update 3?

https://youtu.be/TCMOQyjaYzk

@Narkodes
That's epic lmao

@jandlml
You need to bring the futbol to the second area while leaving the standard cube in the in-between area so you can place it on the laserfield button again. The setup shown in your screenshot sure is close to being right, it's not exactly what you want but by moving some stuff you can definitely progress from there!
