Riding the platform8 hints left
Ready for a crazy journey? Here we go!

There's a piston in the way!

Uh oh! Can you get underneath it?

Hold the CTRL key to stay crouched and you'll have no problem getting past it!

There's a door in the way!

The button doesn't leave it open for long!

Do you need to stay on the platform?

Help me with the door.

Create a portal near the button, press it, then create another portal on the walls it reveals. You can then step through your portal when the platform passes by.

There's a pellet in the way!

This one's extra energetic - it won't destroy itself!

Jumping over it isn't an option!

Help me out.

Create a portal somewhere high-up, and another on the wall next to the pellet. It should fly through harmlessly, letting you continue - just make sure you move your portals, or the pellet might fly back through and kill you.

Alternatively, you can create a portal at the other end of the corridor and stand inside it until the platform passes by.

There's a wall in the way!

It's a portal-friendly wall! Where can you put portals to save yourself?

Help!

Put one portal on the wall blocking your path, and the other on the wall directly to your left. When the platform passes underneath the wall, jump through the portal to land on top of it.

You can also stand inside the portal if the timing is proving difficult.
