Thank you for your comment Prototype! I'll look at your demo tonight.

My solution (I'd rate it easy difficulty, then again I didn't solve as intended): https://www.dropbox.com/s/kbg5z1u9qz7llsz/octopuslaser2.dem I really like the idea and shape, but don't like being forced into one solution. The hallways that you "must" point the laser down aren't very nice. Also I think 8 little "rooms" is too many, with them all looking very similar it's quite easy to get lost.

Thanks Aardvark64, but I did not use that trick! I use another cube to "manipulate" the other, physically!
Aardvark00 20 Mar, 2013 @ 8:11am 
daloboy. I just watched your walkthrough and now I see why you needed that tractor beam.
You must have used my method of rolling cubes, I think, if you did my Forgotten Abbey correctly? You just stand on the cube and move slowly backwards. The cube will roll back with you as you slip off the edge. Then you can kick it into place! No tractor beam required :)
daloboy  [author] 20 Mar, 2013 @ 6:48am 
Interesting comment Aardvark64! I did not anticipate your way to roll it! I'll have to look at that! Thanks.
Aardvark00 20 Mar, 2013 @ 5:48am 
Another winner, great fun for me. At one point I had to respawn a cube because it was no longer solid and I could pick it up but I couldn't stand on it to roll it over??
I haven't watched your walkthrough yet but I didn't understand the need for the tractor beam which could be reversed on a timer. I didn't use it at all. Was that correct?

My third test is ready! I think it is not as hard as the first one, but it is quite tricky!
daloboy  [author] 26 Jan, 2013 @ 3:18pm 
Glad you enjoyed it stormsend!

I guess I'm like Big Moustache. It took several tries but I finally saw the open exit door. Funny thing happened there. I portaled the blue funnel in there and it closed the angled panel. I never saw that before. I tried many times to get through the gap in the fizzler to no avail. Finally tried again and the panel stayed. Home free. great puzzle. See ya round the workshop.
daloboy  [author] 25 Jan, 2013 @ 9:30am 
Thankyou for your time lord_dhaf!
Lord Dhaf 25 Jan, 2013 @ 9:28am 
I think you fixed it for good this time! Good work!
daloboy  [author] 24 Jan, 2013 @ 4:24pm 
Really funny how we need serious testers!
Now tell me if this does the trick!
Lord Dhaf 24 Jan, 2013 @ 3:28pm 
Hi daloboy!
Thanks for the credit!
I hope you don't give up on this great chamber now, for I found an even simpler solution!
This screenshot is taken from the exit.
daloboy  [author] 23 Jan, 2013 @ 8:12pm 
Updated! Please try again!
daloboy  [author] 23 Jan, 2013 @ 4:15pm 
Thanks lord_dhaf! I'll look it up!
Lord Dhaf 23 Jan, 2013 @ 2:43pm 
Nice chamber! I think I took a shortcut. I reflected the ray diagonally across the room by placing mirrors on the two cages in opposite corners.
daloboy  [author] 10 Jan, 2013 @ 3:53pm 
You're wellcome BUG!
BUG 10 Jan, 2013 @ 1:34pm 
Hay daloboy, thanks for the ego boost. I'm on a roll now.Great puzzle 01:01:05:78 no stoping me now.
daloboy  [author] 10 Jan, 2013 @ 9:27am 
@DTKinetic: if you want to try a smaller room with some laser/tractor beam, here my No 18 ! I think you will find it must easier now than this one!
daloboy  [author] 10 Jan, 2013 @ 9:20am 
Merci BM! Désolé pour la nausée! Si tu veux essayer une carte plus courte avec un peu de manipulation laser, essais ma No 18 .
Big Moustache 10 Jan, 2013 @ 9:07am 
Et pour ma part je trouve la difficulte Hard, pas medium
Big Moustache 10 Jan, 2013 @ 9:04am 
sans la video que tu as mis en ligne, je n'aurais sans doute jamais pensé a utiliser le rayon transporteur pour metre les cubes dans le bon sens. Tres fort. j ai qd meme vomi 3 fois telement ca m'a retourné dans tout les sens. Beau boulot bravo
daloboy  [author] 9 Jan, 2013 @ 5:03pm 
You're wellcome!
DTKinetic 9 Jan, 2013 @ 4:54pm 
Wow, I would've never guessed that's how you figure it out. Thanks for your help!
daloboy  [author] 7 Jan, 2013 @ 11:16pm 
@DTKinetic: Here the walkthrough !
daloboy  [author] 7 Jan, 2013 @ 5:43pm 
Sorry to read that DTKinetic! I'll do a small movie for that one and give you the link, and the way to do links too (which you can also find in the left clic-able square when you had a comment)
DTKinetic 7 Jan, 2013 @ 5:32pm 
I couldn't figure it out =( I did go after the 2 laser catchers, but for some reason I couldn't get the laser to align with the one on the ceiling, it kept hitting the edge. And as for the 2nd one I managed, but could not maneuver without using a portal and breaking the chain I had =(
Overall though it looks like a good map and it's nice how everything is compartmentalized.

By the way, can you tell me how to upload screenshots/pictures into your workshop display?
daloboy  [author] 7 Jan, 2013 @ 2:32pm 
Let's check that out right now!

@The Locust: I subscribed to yours! I'll try tonight!
daloboy  [author] 1 Jan, 2013 @ 1:18pm 
Great to ear Locust! If you want a harder one, please try this one ! Thanks.
ChekhovsGnu 1 Jan, 2013 @ 1:03pm 
Honestly, I breezed through it. It was very easy in my opinion...

However, it still was rather fun to play. Well made chamber, because I never got really stuck for long, but it managed to slightly confuse me and make me hesitate at times. Well done!
daloboy  [author] 1 Jan, 2013 @ 7:47am 
First one of 2013! Happy New Year and enjoy!
