Description
Difficulty: Easy

This map is an entry for the first part of the Mikeastro[discord.gg]/Thinking with Portals[discord.gg] 2 Steps Back competition. As such, this puzzle was created using entirely vanilla puzzlemaker tools.

To show my commitment to the competition theme, I won't even put a disclaimer about this puzzle not requiring ninja moves, angled lasers, etc. to solve in the map description. Also, I won't even tell you to make sure to jump when you fling!

Enjoy!

Really enjoyed the puzzle. Honestly, thought the chamber was impossible until I realised that the cube needed to be respawned in order to be teleported to the receiver. I love how you can make absolute bangers without any bit of decoration. Enjoy your maps a lot, including this one!

That difficulty is NOT easy. My brain is hurting right now.

You should add some kind of invisible panel that tied to the angled panel. You can simply take both cubes to the end area and jump up to finish the map. Tried this after getting frustrated and was surprised it worked. On to find the real solution.

Nice map; I did it with E L Y T R O N's method after first trying to do some nonsense involving flinging one cube onto the other to knock them both off the button, which I couldn't get to work . Elegant design and very reminiscent of the classic feel. Thumbs up!

Nice little map!:steamthumbsup: I didn't respawn anything,but I thought there should be a reason
you built the regular cube.For me the the white surface was overwhelming and I'm not sure if the intended way included flying to the end of the laser .

Stumped me at first and had to come back to it the next day. Really nice! The put cube in front of laser move seems to be popular among the submissions, however I think this one did it the best :steamthumbsup:

Great little map. I found the angled panel and its placement very fascinating. :steamthumbsup: There's definitely some old school openness to parts of the solution: I quickly spotted bullfrog's oscillation method where the player grabs the cube from the button while flinging. Then there are 2 different respawn methods for the regular cube the player could use instead: 1) shown by E L Y T R O N with using the RC to aim the laser into a white wall which's possible from the exit area or 2) what I did, because it's a move I saw in so many old school maps: Oscilatting between 2 floor portals, moving one portal to the wall and then entering the original laser surface. . Big thumbs up!

Nice puzzle :steamthumbsup:

It didn't affect the playthrough a lot, but google translates "make sure to jump when you fling" as "be sure to jump when you throw" for my and some other languages, so I confused this line with some unknown way of cube tossing. Don't know how important it is, but decided to mention.
