Nice puzzle, thanks for creating. Thumbs up.

Allright, thanks a lot for your feedback canticle. I'll think about how I can improve this.

Don't let any of that take away from the appreciation of the effort that you put into making the puzzles that others (me) nitpick at....

Continued... 3) The entry area was a bit confusing as to what to do and what the edge-less safety cube was doing. You went through pains to hide the receiver in the cubbie so I may be speaking incorrectly, but I did not see a reason why the receiver (along with any activation icons) had to be hidden where they could not be easily seen. Also, the whole getting over to secondary area seemed to combine a number of elements in a complex way just start the puzzle and (again IMO--others mileage may vary) I found it confusing until I noclipped around a bit. I get that the entire puzzle already has quite few elements to get to the solution--but perhaps a training chamber prior to entering the main chamber (intro bridge stopping death in funnel, the balls triggering method, etc...) would be helpful. Then given the size already, perhaps not. Just some thoughts.

Ok...since you asked--but I'm no expert. 1) Does the receiver for 3rd cube fizzler have to be behind and so far away? Could it be on the wall next to the fizzler, recessed or blocked so not hitable with bi-level cube? I had to noclip to even know it was there. Not knowing the laser would be needed again, I took bi-level cube down after getting 2nd cube not knowing it would be needed again. Too tedious to re-set up, so I cheated and noclipped it. 2) Let player know that an action they are taking turns on the fizzler back to the entrance area (icon marker next to it maybe). Having it just suddenly be there without warning is a surprise and IMO not in the pleasant way--granted others may not take issue with it thought

Hi jgaultney, thank you for playing it again. I know that rebuilding some of my chambers is not as fun for you veterans as making new ones but I was playing them again and there were just to many things bugging me about them :P
Want to make the chambers more fun by making some steps easier to execute and avoid the need of loading if possible. Also eliminating some unintended solutions on some of these.

Good puzzle! I vaguely remember the original but still had to solve this one from scratch. :) :bigups:

Thanks for playing and commenting canticle. Great playtrough.
Do you have any suggestions for me to improve the test?

Nice puzzle. I did have to noclip around a bit to find out what did what and to reset the first (bi-level laser area) cube because I didn't see your light bridge way of disabling the fizzler for the 3rd cube--I was able to redirect the bi-level cube on the top level so it grazed the corner of the upper level near the timed bridge and then using the second cube (on the very corner of that area) to direct into the laser receiver and turn off the fizzler. It worked but much easier your way. Sneaky turning on a new fizzler during the platform raise in the bi-level room--at the end I was surprised to find it there (and having to find a way around it)--enough to go back through the puzzle to find out just when it came on :winter2019joyfultearsbulb: .

If you jump down from the platform you can walk behind the glass to the other side of the room. As you do that you have vision of the complete chamber. Use the faith plate to get back up.

I watched your video. The first move cannot be done because standing on the platform I cannot see the portable surface. Therefore I would never step into the funnel.
