Been meaning to get to this one! it minds me of a Mevious map. I unfortunately did the same thing as Nobody and Narkodes, which would probably be fixed by just make the moving the grated surface a voxel more, so you couldn't jump via cube climbing. actual solution is awesome tho,that final move is beautiful! Very good!

Awesome puzzle!!

I came close to the intended solution, but ended up using Narkodes's method instead. I think both solutions get the essential point across. Either way, very nice map. Thumbs up.

I got it, here's hint for half the game https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2889629698 , the other part is essentially a mirror of this move.

@Narkodes, that's clever, I didn't think of that: something like this ? Perhaps you could make a map with that move in it ;)

Great test - unfortunately I solved it unintended (final move) and thought it would be the correct solution. The intended method fits better. I used the cleaning gel bomb in order to push the regular cube into and then out of the laser beam. Worked like a charm:/ I believe that changing the gel from bomb to flow should fix this, only the bomb has a hitbox IIRC. Big thumbs up + follow :bluegel:

Great map
I hope you create more

Ok, this is the way I ended up solving it, which is basically the same as your video. Yes, the cube does re-spawn in the goo, but perhaps removing the goo and adding a piston platform would make it more compliant with the "contest criteria", but idk. Anyway, great puzzle and now also following :)

I agree with bullfrog. Great work. One of my favorites I've played from the contest so far! :steamthumbsup:

This is a really, really good puzzle. I can't believe I got so close to the first 'real' move, but then dismissed it and decided I needed to get into the cleansing gel area first :steamfacepalm: Good luck and another :steamthumbsup:

Bugger! Right, what I'll do is record the way I did it, including "standing on the cubes" and then look at you video so that I don't bother you anymore.

@bullfrog No, standing on the cubes is not intended.

I'm so pleased I stayed with this map, as I've come up with a solution that 'feels' correct and I really like :steamthumbsup:. Yep, the update does make that move more difficult - I think you could prevent entirely, but up to you, obviously. I don't know if the "Solution video" was there before, but I don't want to look at it yet. The only part of the way I completed your puzzle that I’m a bit unsure of is this move - can you tell me if the move is part of your intended solution?

Enjoyed it!

Nice puzzle - that was a very fun theme. I solved as intended, but a small note: just in case you aren't aware, it is possible to place the storage cube very close to the below-repulsion surface, and then bounce it off by removing the bridge, as the bomb's explosion radius is large enough to hit the cube. It looks like preventing this would be quite difficult, though, so maybe not worth trying to fix? Also, though it ultimately wasn't too important, I accidentally read your spoiler tag ahead of time because it doesn't show up as censored in the activity tab, haha

@bullfrog Thank you; I've updated the map so the unintended move is harder to perform.
bullfrog 31 Oct, 2022 @ 11:50pm 
The map looks interesting but I’m sorry to say: unintended solution. I’ll come back and see if I can find your intended solution later.
