Difficulty: Easy-Medium

Welcome to a nice pair of laser puzzles that should provide a moderate challenge. The second puzzle was inspired by Permatemp's Sine, and the design was going to be submitted for the Permatemp remake competition which took place a few months ago, but I didn't finish it in time. It was a pretty nice puzzle, though, so I just included it in the next hammer project. The first puzzle, however, is completely original!

As usual, no cube throws, angled lasers through portals, ninja moves, or those kinds of things are required to complete the puzzle, only brains. Each of the pedestal buttons labeled with a life preserver is for anti-trapping only, and is not necessary to complete the puzzle(s).

This map has been done for a while because I wanted to do some things the proper way as a matter of principle, but a completed and released map is better than a perfect map. Here's to a new year of puzzling!

That flip panel was driving me nuts XD
Clever puzzles, awesome design and a tough challenge of course. To me the second room was - puzzlewise - nothing in comparison, but as elegant as the first one, maybe even more.
Thumbs up :steamthumbsup:

I was very proud of myself when I finished the 1st part. I thought I was done. No, there was a 2nd part. Brain very tiered. But I pushed through and finally figured out the 2nd part. Very nice puzzle!

Amazing design. Unlike the other comments I found the first to be much easier. Second one screwed with my head more.

Enjoy every chamber and puzzle you make! This one is one of your best works imo so far. Unique cavern design with suiting ambience combined with two very canny puzzles is truly a masterpiece.

the fact that the first puzzle in this map just works is wild

Very sleek design, sometimes all you need in life is just some smooth laser logic. :steamthumbsup:

Brilliant map! I particularly like the "three-layer" solution in the first room and your work on lighting. Very satisfying puzzle with several interesting moments and great visuals. Thumbs up. :steamthumbsup:

One of the most beautiful maps I have ever played, and it comes with two great puzzles as well - what more can one ask? As many others, I enjoyed the first puzzle a tiny bit more, just because of how subtle the logic is, but the second one is great too. Huge thumbs up and added to favourites :cozycrashfish:
