So good! Loved the design too. :cozydarkseer:

I never even looked up once to be honest. I just walked backwards while blocking the laser and never considered there would be an alternative solution. Very nice puzzle, which has hopefully prepared me for Part 2

Nice little easy start, yet quite entertaining. I guess it's more natural to walk backwards blocking a laser than just looking up ^^

looks up
feels silly

@Reika It's not really intended, but also barely skips anything important which is why I didn't do anything to prevent it. You can just use the ceiling portal surface instead for the same outcome.

Is walking while holding the cube blocking the laser intended? It seems an obvious solution step, but it also seems very much in the category of, as you put it, "feels weird or unintended".

Nice little puzzle with an equally nice theme. I'll play Part 2 right away!

The entire time I was going "ohh" and "ah-ha!" Very well designed chamber.

Nice puzzle. Missed the backwards walk with the cube. Used the ceiling portal to switch instead. Got there eventually.

@TheCompanionCubeGuy - thanks, I was just looking at it in your workshop when you gave me the heads up. Got it subbed now, and about to jump into it.

finding the way is easy , but it took me a long time to find it . good map .

Brilliant, elegant design. Looks very nice too. The title gave me a pretty good hint!

I didn't use the ceiling surface, I walked backwards with the cube instead . I like this solution a lot though.

Awesome map! First one in nine years that I've seen use this concept - great job!

@Neightro That's annoying, nobody else experienced this issue so I'm assuming it's related to your OS. If you don't have it installed, maybe install BEE2 (the mod I made this puzzle with)? Sometimes it doesn't properly pack the custom stuff properly in the workshop files, so you might have to download that yourself to fix the issue. Not sure though, just a suggestion. :p2cube:

A nice easy puzzle. :SpRad_ThumbsUp:

Most enjoyable small-size chamber:

1. Get the laser and hit the pylon and receiver to drop the fields and cube.
2. Going by portal get the cube and put that cube right in front of receiver to block it.
3. Go to the Entrance section and get the cube to here by portal.
4. Keep blocking the receiver so you don't fizz the cube, relight up the pylon.
5. Use Libbybapa's method; take cube and walk backwards to keep the blocking.
6. Laser source portal off to the side to turn off the laser, take cube to button, walk to platform, relight to fizz, Solved.

A very pleasant puzzle, thanks!

Easy, yet complex!

My game freezes every time I exit the elevator room. I'm on Linux, so I'm not sure if it's something to do with that. Shame; this map looks really promising. :t
mikatastrophe  [author] 31 Oct, 2021 @ 3:35am 
@Malia and @Libbybapa Pretty much all intended, the walking backwards with the laser cube bit at the end isn't strictly intended, that's what the white surface on the ceiling in the middle room is for. I am aware that you can just do what you did, but that changes so little about the solution that I left it in. :p2cube:

excellent simple map!!
