Description
Watch HankyMueller's playthrough HERE

Initiative is a map focusing on lasers, funnels, and fizzlers. It is the third map of mine, after Roam and Tactics, to consist of multiple rooms. The three puzzles in this map increase gradually in difficulty from easy to medium-hard.

BONUS: Find the hidden companion cube and bring it to the exit.

As always, feedback is appreciated! If you think you've found any exploits or unintended solutions, please let me know and I will fix them ASAP.

Is the moon sign thingy just anti-trapping?

Downloaded this god knows when, but was dumb and somehow didn't figure out the laser sequence in room 1. Now I solved the chamber, room 3 took me the longest, lots of very precise back-and-forth movement with every little detail.

Was lateral movement of the cube with the funnel needed in room 2? It's a move I slightly dislike in general due to weird in-universe implications, but it seems to be fairly common in workshop maps, and I see no other way of hitting that button while being at the exit.

Nice map, I like how the puzzles present unexpected difficulties, I kept thinking it was solved way before it was. :)

BTW, I had fun trapping myself between the first and third rooms hoping to find the companion cube! I've never found one of your CCs yet.

Very interesting set of puzzles, I'm having fun watching the evolution of your authoring skills.

Nice map, I really enjoyed solving it. And after checking with the walkthrough I did it all as intended, except one tiny step in the last room. The moon signage flip allow you to get back to the other side, so I didn't need to get up the stairs and use the reversed funnel for that. Consequently, the stairs that are activated by the laser receiver aren't really necessary. By the way, here's my blind run !

I enjoyed it, especially the last room. I assume the moon signage flip panel just anti-trapping. Blind run: https://youtu.be/DU0NNpEahjw Thanks.
