@Dolphiner hehe, I have recently been trying to beat a lot of the maps at the top of my singleplayer queue (since it's waaay too long), and this one was in there. I'm happy I finally gave it a shot!

Thanks for playing nonetheless :D

How did you get here lol

Super cool map with super cool moves! I really enjoyed solving :)

The map also felt too linear for my liking; The opening sequence to get the second cube out felt too trivial, the positioning of the upper layer near the sendificator suggested the laser should be pointed to the sendificator, since the laser couldn't be pointed anywhere else . In case you can't tell I'm just not a big fan ;) I'm glad you had fun with it (2/2)

Thanks for playing. There's a few reasons I don't like this map, one being the reason you mentioned. Another is the excessive use of fizzlers just to get opening logic somewhat working, Also the abundance of 1/4 and 1/2 blocks that also prevent unintended laser angles ( I tried to make these look decorative by adding some sort of pattern to the blocks, but it just ended up looking tacky and made some laser shots, like the one at 2:05 in the solution vid unecessarily tight). I also hated the constant ticking sound in the background made by the "pacemaker mechanism" that could probably be improved in a million different ways, I just didn't ( and honestly still don't) know how. (1/2)

Fun map; the move that The MAD Fool mentioned in his spoiler took me a while to see. I'm not entirely sure why this one is in your "recycle bin," though the cubes did have a tendency to shift and get misaligned after being sendificated. Thumbs up.

Really sorry for not being able to reply sooner. The shortcut should now be fixed. The other move mentioned is also intended.

I found a shortcut here. Also, was stacking the cubes on the sendificator part of the intended solution?

Fun map, thumbs up!

Interesting. I actually found the cube placements from 2:15-2:40 to seem less intended becuase of how obscured the laser catcher is at that angle due to the placement of the 1/2x1/2x1/2 block. Is that block needed there to prevent a shortcut? If not, then a clear view of the catcher from the laser coming out of the ceiling would make that sequence not seem unintended. I'll look at what has changed for the current version. Cheers.

Thanks for the video, and sorry for getting back so late. The move at 2:44 was unintended and should hopefully now be prevented, otherwise everything else was done well. Thanks for playing :)

I think it could be done with the same amount of connections but without that move. If you want me to explain that, I can go on. The map is fine in the current state, though :)

Thanks for playing everyone :) @Narkodes Yeah, I take your point here. I guess the only real merit to this setup is that it saves a few connections in the exit room and makes it as concise as possible. This definitely isn’t one of my stronger maps…

I enjoyed it, big thumbs up!
I agree with Libbybapa's point for the most part, although I didn't find it hard to spot where I need it. Theoretically you could keep the same logic of the map and build the map without that move and without the tutorial room, just by adjusting the geometry.

Cool map

I can appreciate that, which is why this was demonstrated in the first chamber so that its use in the main puzzle does not feel unfair, the same way some chambers tutorialise pressing a pedestal button through a grating. Although the glitch/mechanic in question is rather unintuitive, I completely agree, I still feel its use in the puzzle is valid since the player is given notice of this interaction. Regardless, thanks for giving it a play.

I'm not a fan of the highlighted glitch being used in a puzzle. It does not pass the 'logical' test. The sendificator specifically works by transporting the cube to the termination of the laser beam. The laser beam passes through the player. It does not make logical sense to me that the cube teleportation would be stopped by the player standing in the laser when the laser is not blocked by the player. I would classify that behavior as a glitch in the sendificator code.

Excellent puzzle, with two moves I don't think I've seen before - definite The tutorial room worked fine for me, but when I used the mechanic in the main puzzle, it didn't always work. If there's a way of making that reliable, I would probably add this to my favourites.

yeah i never knew you could block a laser that way even with laser collision turned off. i like it

Glad it worked out in the end, thanks for playing :)

Yesterday, that mechanic failed to work in the first chamber and I never got to that
part in the main puzzle.
Today, everything worked fine in both areas so I don't know what was going on
yesterday... maybe I wasn't holding the mouse correctly.
Great puzzle by the way, I'd never seen that mechanic before. :)

@jgaultney that is very weird. I've tried to replicate your issue in a variety of ways but it always seems to work for me. Does this happen only in the first chamber or the main puzzle also?

excellent map!! totally have played this game for at least 10 years and did not find this map easy. i hat that i need to cheat on how to get the first cube into the exit area. just did not even think to do that. simply effective

I can't speak for anyone else, but when I stand in the path of the laser,
both the laser and cube pass through me as if I weren't there. :((
