ANTICHAMBER - Get fucked

[Cormacaroni]

I'm really enjoying it. I do have a problem with how it teaches you one specific skill

Creating a square with the bits will fill in the middle, creating more bits.

it's a critical skill that is required and easy to miss.

One of the clever aspects to the design is that it is modular and non-linear. So if you have learned the skills, you can do certain parts before the game has taught you the specific mechanic. I finished with a bunch of the map still unexplored, but when i went back, they were all easy 'cause I already had the techniques required.

I was a little pissed at myself for not figuring out the smart way to do the tower though. You can do it in seconds

well gee i'm glad i wrote like 2,000 words on that tumblr. As i suspected, nobody reads fucking blogs anymore. Oh well, i wanted to write so i wrote

So, can anyone help me with this one? Is the solution as tedious as the one I'm assuming?

Wait, nevermind. I totally just got it now while looking at that.

I'm stuck on "Pulling from Both Directions" but i think I don't have what I need to resolve it.

I also think I can probably solve climbing the tower from the inside using the yellow gun.

You can beat Pulling In Both Directions with just the yellow gun.

Yeah, you can beat Pulling with the yellow gun. If you want a hint (not the solution but a hint...):

yes, you can climb the tower with the yellow gun. But I wasted a ton of time here by not using the most efficient method of moving yellow cubes...

I am so dying to tell you how to do the tower right, aargh

[fistfulofmetal]

I finished it.

the tower:

I just build straight up for a little bit of distance, created a bit off to the left, collected the bits below, then repeated all the way to the top.

great game. give this man a job at valve so he can create the next Portal

Tower -

spoiler (click to show/hide)

First time I did it, I created stairs all around the sides, going up about 5 cubes of height each time. It took forever and I was terrified of falling the whole time. Then I hit the lip at the top and couldn't move. Had to fall off and re-start. Got all the way back up to the top, and the controls froze. Had to restart. Finally did it on the 3rd try. Then had to do it all again on the next section

Now, the EASY way - you send one of the snakes up to the top. Make a ladder out of the other one. Stand on it. Use middle button to connect the two snakes. You rise up as if by magic
