Description
[Hard] Named after the famous coding website "Stack Overflow", whose name inspired me to make a cube-stacking laser redirection puzzle. It has two little "tricks" that have proven this a rather challenging puzzle.

LB, you're my last hope, I hope you can't break this.

#Beemod

P.S.: Don't even bother trying the floating cube trick. Or do bother, I fixed it anyway >:D

Update: Fixed RectorRocks's unintended solution, as well as improved the looks of the level slightly.
Update 2: Fixed Nock's exploits and unintended solution.
Update 3: Fixed RectorRocks's second unintended solution (for real?).

Did not see that trick with the laser multi-pass-thru in the other room... until I watched your play through. I might have been able to figure it out on my own in many more hours than my allotted play time allows, but I'll have to settle for watching a video of an excellent puzzle. :steamthumbsup:

Let's be honest, I didn't solve it on my own. I played a few minutes but hadn't the patience for it. I believe it could be a lit map with small surfaces and elimination of all unneccesary surfaces. Other additions would be useful too (laser colission off, portal magnets etc.). The solution itself is nice. I'd appreciate a remake of this :-P

OK, I had to look up "Stack Overflow" (the computer term). I did that once, had a routine calling itself. I couldn't figure why the program kept crashing at exactly the same point every time I ran it. (OK, it was '86. Now I feel old.)

I am pretty sure that a couple of things here I have never seen before. Good Job!

Man, that's such a clever puzzle! it has lasers, fizzlers and 4 cubes(!) and yet it doesn't feel overwhelming. Not only that, but the puzzle is very logical and well-layed-out. And also I love the title. The whole of it just feels so satisfying to solve that it becomes a favorite from me.

Wow, that was a challenge. Although the stacking was a bit tedious, it did indeed require logic to solve. Tried several stacking scenarios, including the 1 laser, 3 cube method, which still works BTW before finally seeing how to disable the fizzler using the first laser . Thanks again!

Strange @Petutski. By today's standards, I'd consider this level to be more gimmicky than April Showers. But I suppose different players have different experiences and tastes. Nonetheless, thank you for playing :)

Clever and logical! Thanks!

Got so far, mucke about for a while, gave up and looked at you video - clever; too clever for me ;)

How about 1 laser, 3 cubes?
