Yeah I was gonna get the first one first, but if there's a remake coming I'll wait (was planning to play through some more workshop items anyway before buying it) :0

@zigzagtenniscoe Also I read that you're considering getting the talos principle? It's a great game, but if you're talking about the first one, you might want to consider waiting till the remake comes out, it's supposed to have a lot of new stuff and updated visuals :D

@zigzagtenniscoe thanks for the kind words!

Thoughts with blindrun and SPOILERS! [telegra.ph]

TLDR: Easily the most complex, difficult, and absolutely, positively, bloody ingenious test I've played. It took me several hours over two days. With all the cube-swaps and fore-planning required, it felt like what I imagine it might feel like to solve a Rubik's Cube on your own with no hints for the first time (even though that's probably harder). Hats off and well done.

Difficulty: 10/10
Enjoyed: 10/10

@sashqo thanks!

The hardest map I've beaten. Man good work! It tool me few days to figure out!

Late to the party on this one. Fantastic puzzle. I never really felt totally blocked - there were always loads of options, just had to find the right one. I figured the ending sequence quite early on but it took me an age to work out how to get the first cube to the exit area.

@nock Congrats on solving it! Thanks for playing!

Great Map, with a lot of portal management needed. Didn't initially think it was going to be so tricky, but boy was I wrong. I'm a pretty big fan of the "on-off" button concept, because of the added thought you need to put into things. Thanks for Making!

Wow, that was slick, I can't believe all of that ended up working out as nicely as it did. Ditto Libbybapa's comment. Awesome stuff, favorited :^)

Oh okay, cause it did happen in one of my playthroughs so I thought it was supposed to, especially since it's located just over. I'll give it another go with that in mind

@PeterLucas, actually the cube ISN'T supposed to fall directly onto the button. I just never fixed it being able to because it's rare that it actually happens, but I may decide to do so at a later date.

I've been trying to play your level because I think your maps look great, but there's an issue that's completely preventing me from playing it.

The cube that's supposed to fall on the square button doesn't fall right 95% of the time: https://youtu.be/ELFF-F2aVu8

You could definitely lower the cube dropper and use a trigger button instead (available in Bee2).

@Oblivious Owl it still stays on the button sometimes after a few resets.

@lapicidas Thank you! I just updated the map in a way that should prevent that unintended move; I just had to move a panel of glass a bit.

After "Fuzzle", this is the next brilliant map of yours that is played with three cubes. A tough nut to crack! In the end, the solution looks simple because you always do the same steps, but the tricky challenge is bringing the correct cubes in the correct positions in order to get ahead. Luckily they are different in color, otherwise you would probably go crazy ;-)
Of course favored and I will also award a prize!

I recorded a solution where I did not open the laser field:
https://youtu.be/th5lafF-OKs
However, this is only possible if the unintended move via the emergency exit is carried out right at the start

@libbybapa Looking back at the comment, I realize I wasn't very clear, but I meant that you'd need a different setup beforehand before getting to the one jandlml suggests, not that the setup wasn't intended.

YES! I did it! so much back and forth but with tiny differences each time. that was a definite brain work out. so many great maps lately. definite fave!!

i thought of something, let me check to see if it works before i check any hints!

Narkodes, I experimented with that position also. Yes, that could work but I also do not believe it is possible to get to that position. Getting blue into its position first precludes getting yellow below, and getting yellow below first precludes getting blue into position.

Wow, Joric. No spoiler tag for the reveal of a pinnacle point of the logic? WTF?!?

I misread jandlml's comment. I solved it like Libbybapa / Joric (I believe it's the same more or less) and I think jandlml meant that solution too.

However, here's a video that shows that the map could be solved differently - but only if it would be possible to achieve the setup in the beginning. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it shouldn't be possible to get the shown cube positions without cheats or a crazy trick I'm missing.

I got blue at exit fizzler button, black on portal button as a part of the solution as well. I guess it's intended. Here at 8:11 - it's one of the few repeating delayed activation sequences https://youtu.be/Ry1rqiPrHhI?t=492

To be clear, at 10:14 in the video I posted, I use the cube orientation that jandlml suggests (blue at exit button, black on portal button) it just takes a LOT of steps to get there. Oblivious Owl, your comment suggests that it is unintended. Please review the solution I posted and let me know if the map needs to be patched.

Thanks, everyone!

@jandlml You're almost there! Your theoretical solution is slightly off from what the actual solution is. I'd suggest thinking about which cube you'll need on the portal button at that stage.

I should leave a comment as well: INCREDIBLE map! I agree with the other comments. After reaching the black cube for the first time, I couldn't tell on the spot what's to do next. As consequence I had to think through dozens of reasonable setups just to realize they don't lead to success or are impossible (I discovered the "theoretically working" setup that jandlml mentioned). It was the only map I played in the last 1~2 weeks, but I'm totally blown away, great work.

Wow! Really tough puzzle! I got the three cubes easily enough but working out the end sequence took me FOREVER! Very impressive amount of portal management and cube swapping. It could probably be simplified, but this is the solution I used: https://youtu.be/9XMEskgdw_U Putting the cube onto the level above doesn't bother me at all. I think it is a completely legitimate move and a clever way to use the geometry.

well im just totally stuck. ive been trying now for about 3 hours. i just keep going back and forth trying different cube placements ,here is one such try https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2244494493 nothing is working. i even figured out what would work if i could get the cubes where i want them to go. i figured out that if i could get the blue cube on the button in the exit area and the black cube on the portal button than i could use those placements to get all three up to the exit area. but i cant get the cubes placed that way. is there any hint you can give me without giving away the solution?

ok i made it past that point now im stuck trying to get the cubes to the door. i can get 2 of them but not the third. well ill keep at it

Full playthrough (update 3): https://youtu.be/Ry1rqiPrHhI hardcore map, probably 7/10 considering 8/10 is next to impossible. I'm wondering if it's solvable without putting the cube on the 128-unit wall, I guess not, and it's a legit move.

OK I think I got the proper ending sequence: https://youtu.be/TUD8h5GHcaQ

thanks, im glad because i couldnt find anything from this point

@jandlml I know there's multiple solution paths--not all of which I've tested fully--so I can't say this with absolute certainty, but based on the positions of the portals, (assuming there's one behind you) that doesn't lead to a solution. Keep trying! Don't be afraid to ask for another hint.

is this set up on the right track, it seems right but i cant respawn the blue cube and still get back to the portals.so i must be missing something https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2242754634

@Joric yeah that move is unintended, but that's fixed now.

My playthrough: https://youtu.be/H8ycJteECkw not sure about 6:44 but I got no another way.
