Description
It has been way too long since I published a challenging fizzler evading grid-based pure laser puzzle. There's only 8 fizzlers and a like number of receivers; how hard can it be?
I hope that you guys will enjoy this one. And I hope it isn't broken.
If everything works, this puzzle is everything that Point Symmetry never quite was.
This would also be my entry for Determinated's ''Cube Contest'', that requires its participants to make a map that features two instances of a core element.
In this case, obviously, I chose the laser, because who wouldn't?

Grabbing cubes through fizzlers is not intended.
As per usual, carefully carying cubes through fizzlers or snatching them at lightning speed is not intended. Angled lasers through portals are neither necessary nor intended.
As I had tried to indicate by the receivers being burried deep inside the walls, the solution only requires them to be activated from directly straight in front of them.

Difficulty: 7/10.
If you think you found anything unintended, please let me know!

In other news: My puzzle game Sokoban: The RPG has been released on steam! Please consider checking it out!

@ObliviousOwl Amazing work solving this beast of a puzzle! Very impressive how you stuck with it for all that time. Happy to hear you liked it in the end :D

I finally got around to solving this chamber, excellent map! The part that stumped me the most was needing to fizzle both portals halfway through the solution - always a scary thing to do! I'll admit I gave up a few times some months ago before coming back to take another crack at it.

@Xayvier Thank you so much! Great work solving all these very challenging laser puzzles :D It's a very particular type of logic that I also quite appreciate myself. Good luck with Isotope... :cozycrashfish:
@NLuziaf Thank you!

Point Symmetry's older intimidating brother? I didn't quite expect the cheerful music, considering how Mirror Symmetry felt :D Great map with clean moves as usual. I'm glad to see you still release such maps. Your 6 to 7.5 difficulty maps hit the spot, and your tougher laser-oriented puzzles like this one are especially enjoyable to figure out while hiking as they have memorisable compact layouts yet clever tricks.

Now it's just Isotope left to solve.. I pray that the likes of Pandemonium & Butterfly have prepared me for what's to come :lunar2019deadpanpig:

@DanceDown All it took was a handful of train rides and one internet outage :D Brilliant work solving this very challenging puzzle! I'm very happy to hear that you enjoyed it

I don't know which substance you took while creating this one, but it's damn difficult; but also extremely fun! Thank you for making

@camerson1313 Thank you for the kind words! Your playthrough is still in my watch later list, but I will get to it eventually :D
@Nobody No-One Thank you very much for playing! Excellent work solving it; this is a very difficult puzzle. It is true that a thorough understanding of the nuances of the layout is necessary before the player can even start thinking properly about actually viable exit strategies. Please refrain from putting too much effort into a speedrun recording of the map though :P We all know what happened all the way back with Mirror Symmetry... xD
I'm glad you like the music by the way! I have not used it before, I composed it just for this map
