Description
There's a tractor beam in this 2-stage puzzle. Complete both stages and you may leave this chamber.

Difficulty should be easy (about 4/10).

*UPDATES:*
-v1.0: Initial release
-v1.1: Changed the first puzzle to prevent an unintended solution
-v1.2: Made the second puzzle slightly harder to force the player to learn a technique that makes this puzzle so much easier. (and more fun)
-v1.3: Added more room to the first part for more diversity and an attempt to prevent an unintended solution.

Yeah, that's something that you can get trapped in. I considered making a way to get out of that situation, but many attempts simply lead to a "go in, grab cube, bypass puzzle" situation. I considered to add a way to kill yourself, but playtesters started to consider that they had to go down there. Testing basically told me it was best as the puzzle is now.

haha stupid me i went down into the maze to get the cube then realized totally wrong approach . so i had to start again since there is no way to get out of there. haha

Got you :)

So... you did make it harder for yourself to solve it, which lead you to not need the or button. My idea was basically, I don't want the player to have to backtrack after getting the cube near the exit of the maze. the button turns the flip panel, so you can stand on the button and get a cube through the fizzler easier, and once one button near the exit is set it also toggles so you don't have to walk the entire distance to get cube #2.

I’m not a fan of maze puzzles, but the maze part of this map was was Ok and pretty easy to solve. I didn’t use one of the buttons that’s connected to the OR gate, so I’m not sure that this is your intended solution ? :steamthumbsup:

Thanks stormsend. :) I'm glad you liked it. Your comment gives me the acknowledgement for why I'm doing this. :) I'll check out your map. Normally I would remove a comment with this, but I'll make an exception this time. :)

I made this a favorite. I had a challenge on both cubes. Each time I got that aha moment and such a good feeling of accomplishment at the end. Finish Very good puzzle and a good looking map as well. I have a recent map that uses cubes and funnels called Hard Logic . Would you come play it for me and give me your opinion. Thank you and keep up the great work.
