Defeat Hercules!

Tips for solution:
What you need: Lateral thinking.
What is NOT necessary: Glitches, fast reflexes, well trained maneuvers.

An annotated walkthrough video is available at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFB0WqLXSW0

HINT for the beginning: You can permanently activate a button that is in ceiling by stacking three cubes underneath it.
HINT, if you just can't seem to manage to do it: Stack the cubes slightly off the center of the button. Then insert the last cube below the button, push it up (while maintaining the cube's orientation), and slide it atop the pile. You can slide the cube when the button is pressed, because the button is smaller when pressed.
HINT for the ending: While you can activate a wall-mounted button with just one cube that is resting against it diagonally, this is very difficult to do. The easiest way is to stack two cubes right next to it. Just assemble all eight cubes from the previous levels, and you have easily completed the chamber in no time.

#F4F : Rate and comment on this map and I will do the same for one of your maps!
#StylesMod was used.
Also includes some custom-crafted test elements in a minor, decorative role.

P.S. I appreciate if you can record your blind playthrough as a set of .dem files or as a YouTube video! I love watching those, and they are invaluable developer feedback. I will do the same for your map.

Very nice puzzle. I like how it subverts our expectations from the first part. Also, you very rarely get cube-stacking. Good job.

A nice long and well put together laser and cube-button level.
I'll give this another go without glitches at the end of each puzzle (which seemed a requirement at first glance (after playing Magician's Boxes first)).

Bose-Einstein: Yeah, this map (that does NOT require glitches) actually inspired me to create the Magician's Boxes puzzle (that does).

well I discovered the floating glass box glitch through this map, at least.

Thank you Lost!

No glitch-abuse is required in this map. I have a separate category for glitch-requiring puzzles.

so I DIDN'T have to make the glass blocks float to solve the puzzle?

Thanks Requiemsoul! You've been active at playing my maps... Wish you also recorded a demo of your first playthroughs (the instructions are in my profile), but thank you for the feedback anyway.
