Still satisfying revisit.

Wow, what a clever solution!

Mikeastro [author] 5 Apr @ 6:43am

@metadavid Thanks for playing! I hope you will continue to enjoy the rest of the series :]

metadavid 5 Apr @ 3:32am

Yes. #3 down. Brilliant designs - makes you think!!

Mikeastro [author] 12 Jan @ 4:22pm

@SHOOD Thanks a lot for all your videos! I've been enjoying watching them, all your solutions so far have been perfectly indended :]

SHOOD 11 Jan @ 6:25am

blind play https://youtu.be/_LYqoznAY80 good map

Flint 23 Dec, 2024 @ 12:15pm

Very nice map, scratched my head for a while. What I like from the series so far is how economical it is with puzzle pieces and solutions are still not obvious at all.

Hazel Rose [author] 8 Oct, 2024 @ 11:10am

i did mess up the original solution, which sucks. id update the map, but i lost the original map file. Decompiling really aint an option since it wont be perfect. im going a massive Hammerization of the whole series, so this will be fixed then

Mikeastro [author] 28 Sep, 2024 @ 3:45pm

The intended solution does not require "placing a portal on a single pixel". For the optimal experience please try to think of a solution that is logical, clean and easy to execute!

gmaster2400 28 Sep, 2024 @ 3:19pm

I can't give a simple rating for this one. The idea is good, but the solution was gimmicky. Meaning it didn't work properly on the first attempt. This creates doubt. The portal had to be on a single pixel. Not including the invisible force field. I'd give it a 3 out of 5. You just needed to have reasonable space for the last setup.

Hazel Rose [author] 1 Apr, 2024 @ 11:54am

oopsie lol. normally id try to fix it, but i lost the original map file for this a long while back

sillymel 29 Mar, 2024 @ 10:07pm

Fun map, though climbing up on the collapsed support beam thing not only allows you to cheese the puzzle like Narkodes did in his YouTube video on page 9, but also allows you to trap yourself here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/id/sillymel/screenshot/2485497501506744538/

_L 6 Feb, 2024 @ 9:11am

@derPacifist +. I had the same thing happen, it doesn't seem like an intended map walkthrough.

zeo1337 22 Jan, 2024 @ 2:52pm

Nice. Only it took me like 5 minutes to find the portal surface to get across lol. Mistook it for a light.

PDX 5 Sep, 2023 @ 3:03pm

Beautiful map! A small nitpick, I feel elaborate hammer decoration can sometimes make it harder to distinguish between intended and unintended angles in laser puzzles. Otherwise a cute lazercube map!

derPacifist 16 Aug, 2023 @ 8:21am

Awesome puzzle and chamber design! I found a small skip however. I had the cube on the button and tried shooting a portal near the exit that would cause the cube to selfdistruct. This angle should not be possible, but because of the portal helper that seems to be on the wall, I managed it second try.

我爱你 25 Jan, 2023 @ 2:15am

great map, but it's kinda tricky landing the portal on the opposite lol so the laser can allign properly

Chris 14 Jul, 2022 @ 9:42pm

Brilliant

Andy T 4 Jul, 2022 @ 8:34pm

I think it would be better that bent truss is not there interfering the game.

SpielSatzFail 15 May, 2022 @ 2:30pm

Nice environment and puzzle, thumbs up.

Hazel Rose [author] 21 Apr, 2022 @ 11:34am

ah crap, didnt recognize that cheese. and i cant change it since i no longer have the original map. but thank you! im more proud of my newer work, but this was one that got me a lot of attention, and its awesome. Mostly thanks to Mike for making the puzzle, though.

StackSmasher789 21 Apr, 2022 @ 7:38am

What a brilliant map ! hints: stand in the portal and think about angles Good hammer work too. I tried to cheese it by climbing over the scaffolding and if you airstrafe enough, you can cheese it successfully but intended solution is far cooler.

Hazel Rose [author] 15 Apr, 2022 @ 5:29am

i had messed up part of the puzzle, which makes it differ from the original.

derPacifist 14 Apr, 2022 @ 11:31am

That was easier than the previous puzzle. What do yall mean with portal helper?

Lasse Hölderlin 1 Feb, 2022 @ 5:47am

I think the portal helper is too big.

StabGami 16 Sep, 2021 @ 1:03pm

Also....I see other comments mention the music. Didn't hear any music here. Just the usual sound effects.

StabGami 16 Sep, 2021 @ 1:00pm

Damn...every time I think I'm good at this game, a brilliant puzzle like this one comes along and humbles me. Drove me nuts until I figured it out. Great job!

Hazel Rose [author] 26 Dec, 2020 @ 9:35am

Boy I'm still proud as fuck with this map. The positive response has also helped out tremendously with improving my self-esteem when it comes to mapping.

GraveNoX 16 Dec, 2020 @ 2:32pm

Enjoyed it. My long blind run https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibyoUEUlb2o

Mikeastro [author] 26 Nov, 2020 @ 6:19am

@Phosphorus Nope, this map was made in hammer

Phosphorus 26 Nov, 2020 @ 5:44am

is this a bee mod map?

Hazel Rose [author] 26 Oct, 2020 @ 4:30pm

Oh sugar, it skips a step? Didn't know that, sorry mate.

Mikeastro [author] 15 Oct, 2020 @ 4:22pm

@Muzozavr Yeah it is a little sad that that portal helper accidentally allows that last shot :/ It skips just one small step, though, so it's not the end of the world. I'm glad you liked this one too

Muzozavr 15 Oct, 2020 @ 4:20pm

The beam showing where the laser reflection goes was there in the previous map, but not in this one, so took some save/loads. Not sure I should've been able to hit that last shot without the portal helper (I don't think my angle was that good), but cute little puzzle, indeed. Easier than the previous level.

@joe98 Thanks a lot for playing once again! Well done solving it

joe98 13 Aug, 2020 @ 3:30am

I am pleased with myself for getting this out! Thank you!

Hazel Rose [author] 9 Jun, 2020 @ 10:22am

@Gabriel Bacon
On behalf of myself and Mike, thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Gabriel Bacon 8 Jun, 2020 @ 7:48pm

Loved it. Quick but satisfying, had to stop and think on that last move. Good aesthetics and really good layout, thanks for making this.

Hazel Rose [author] 26 May, 2020 @ 11:57am

@Body Massage
Thank Mike for that, I just did the asthetics.

Body Massage 24 May, 2020 @ 9:40pm

Excellent puzzle. Very thought provoking - these are the kinds I come here for ;)

Hazel Rose [author] 25 Apr, 2020 @ 7:41am

@crhoaviet6 Appreciate it, mate! I worked on visuals, while Mike made the original puzzle.

Mikeastro [author] 25 Apr, 2020 @ 4:04am

@crhoaviet6 Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. I composed the music myself :]

crhoaviet6 25 Apr, 2020 @ 2:02am

Lovely puzzle, visuals, and music. Where's the music from?

Mikeastro [author] 19 Apr, 2020 @ 3:33am

@tapmage Haha well it's not totally obvious either :P Thanks for playing

tapmage 18 Apr, 2020 @ 7:02pm

That should have been easy but it gave me a little trouble.

Mikeastro [author] 15 Apr, 2020 @ 6:25pm

@_galaxy Yeah, as you can see, the portal suddenly jumps because of a portal magnet, quite unfortunate. Did you also manage to find the real solution?
@Cortexyan Well done solving this one :] Glad you enjoyed!

Hazel Rose [author] 15 Apr, 2020 @ 6:25pm

Thanks, @Cortexyan

Cortexcyan 15 Apr, 2020 @ 4:36pm

Worked it out eventually! Nice 'n' tricky little puzzle and loved the rainy atmosphere etc.

Well done Mikeastro and much love to Snowy! Stay safe and keep us puzzled guys!
