Thanks Mattchew!

This is interesting cause I went with the much harder Whole Shebang first. I do prefer that version as that map just has so many great sequences, but this is also really good! The end sequence re-spawn is seriously clever! Very cool deviation from Whole's solution. Very solid map and I am happy to have played both Shebangs :)

back when i first played it, i played it at the same time as first and goal. i found this one much more difficult. i dont think first and goal is a 5/10 though

Oh come on now. It's big and the solution is long, but not all that difficult.

world's hardest 5/10

@Libbybapa I plan to play Whole Shebang. After solving it, I was confused because there were two surfaces that were not used, and the description didn't seem to mention this. Since Whole Shebang requires them, I feel reassured. Regarding my solution, someone seemed to say it wasn't intended. I watched 可砸 solution, and the order of the cubes was completely different from mine, but my solution also works. For example, the shot at 9:16 in the video works, although it's a bit tight. I don't know why this happens.

Thanks 乌云彩彩! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Congrats on solving it and your video is great. It's been a long time since I mad this map (more than 5 years) and it is complex enough that I don't remember all of the details. Your solution video appears to be all intended although there is more than one way to do a few of the steps. If memory serves, that particular surface that you asked about is not needed in this map but is necessary in Whole Shebang which shares a very similar layout with a few specific changes in order to force a considerably more complicated solution. Are you planning on playing that one also?

great puzzle!feels like a large precision instrument, with every step having a clear purpose, all for the final output.
my solution,intended? [www.bilibili.com]
What are the surface under the laser and beside the light bridge for? I don't seem to have used them.

Thanks masalt!

solving this was by no means an exiguous task. my head still hurts (not joking) :steamthumbsup::steamthumbsup:

Thanks for playing and commenting, nerlingnation! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Cool puzzle, glad I played it. The main sticking point for me was figuring out how to get step 4 done. After that, the end became clear once I considered why there was a good amount space to move around on the upper grated floor . I'm sure WS will be much more difficult.

Thanks Aneonen!

Nice puzzle! It was quite interesting that so much of the necessary deduction felt geared towards tearing apart a dense exit sequence. I was stalled for some time due to being mistaken about the method necessary to bring a cube to the exit; maybe I'll be lucky and my original method will show up when I tackle Whole.

Thanks Dolphiner! I'm glad you liked it!

An incredible puzzle, Think it took me two hours in total both due to the difficulty and my own ineptitude. Looking at the solutions in the comments I did it as intended. When I came into the map I expected (and feared) that the moves of the puzzle would be based on the interactions of the funnel, lasers and lightbridge. Instead, the focus on cube management was a very welcome surprise. The sequence from "phase four" to the end took a long time for me to figure out which cube should be where. . All in all, a great map and well deserving of a favourite. Now time to build up the courage for WS :p

Great job Dark Rozen!

Nice. Very good.
Libbybapa  [author] 1 Apr, 2020 @ 3:55pm 
Perfect! 100% Intended!

A very good map! WS has a lot more interesting moves, but this one was still interesting and fun to solve. I had a nice time with it. I really like that you tutorialized the cube climbing. Oh and I found the CC.

Excellent! All looked good to me. :) Thanks for playing and commenting!

this one is also a very nice map,I took a difficult time to find out the difference between these two maps,and I found such subtle details there were.It was very satisfied to solve it,thumbs up!

Thanks Teo! I'm glad you enjoyed them!

I actually ended up solving Whole Shebang before this one; indeed the decrease in area restriction makes this one a lot more open and forgiving of misteps, but I still think both are extremely great puzzles :] Super fun to think through, extremely original as well

Thanks dire! Good to see you!

Good map, well done; i spent sometime bringing the reflector to the funnel room, (really nice trick), to access the last part. Good logic map, and now i'm goign to play the other version.
Libbybapa  [author] 27 Jul, 2019 @ 9:25pm 
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Hmmm, you might have been playing an earlier version. The most recent update (2 days ago) added a fizzler between the tutorial room and the main map. Not having one was a silly oversight on my part. Anyway, glad you enjoyed it. IMO, Whole Shebang is a much better map but considerably more challenging. Thanks for playing and commenting!
phale2001 27 Jul, 2019 @ 9:16pm 
ok wow..this one took me a bit. Very good map. Tooke me a bit on how to respawn that third cube. There were a few tries where I was able to steal the cubes from the tutorial room, but I felt like that wasn't intended, so I didn't do that in the end.
Libbybapa  [author] 8 Jul, 2019 @ 10:24am 
Updated with a tutorial room.
Libbybapa  [author] 2 Jul, 2019 @ 7:50am 
Excellent. Thanks Nock!
nock 2 Jul, 2019 @ 7:09am 
That was pretty epic. Good stuff Libby - I'll have the other one for you soon I promise :)

Libbybapa  [author] 19 Jun, 2019 @ 3:15pm 
Yup, very nice! There are a couple different ways to do that step but that way is perfectly acceptable. Good work!

Alright, Polux you get two new pieces of glass with your name on them.

None of what you show in the vids is intended. Did you read the map description?
Polux 18 Jun, 2019 @ 3:48pm 
The first two videos are useless ^^'
Polux 18 Jun, 2019 @ 3:22pm 
Ok I got it but I'm not sure about this kind of stuff :

I just published another significant update to this one.
Libbybapa  [author] 23 May, 2019 @ 11:44pm 
Reika, I got the lights from a friend who only distributes them to friends.
Libbybapa  [author] 23 May, 2019 @ 5:58pm 
That part is a bit tricky Teo. I'm sure you'll get it. Congrats on getting that far. Thanks for commenting.
Teo 23 May, 2019 @ 5:51pm 
Still haven't been able to get the blue funnel and 3 cubes into the funnel-source :/ I'll keep messing around with it
Reika 23 May, 2019 @ 5:31pm 
I have not tried actually solving it yet; also, you did not really answer my question.
Libbybapa  [author] 23 May, 2019 @ 3:01pm 
Reika, thanks for the comment. I'm curious how long it took you to complete this map? Did you try the Whole Shebang afterward for a more intense logical puzzle?
Reika 23 May, 2019 @ 2:50pm 
This looks like a BeeMod map, but the blue and red lights you have are not part of the normal item set; where can I get those?
Libbybapa  [author] 20 May, 2019 @ 11:12am 
I imagine you saw my comment on your video page. Almost entirely intended except an unfortunate unintended portal shot at 51:30. I will fix that in both maps. Thanks for the vid!
