@Mausgeburt, Thank you for replying. I looked into it a little and you might be right. Seems like something possible in older versions that is no longer a thing in the latest versions

@E L Y T R O N: Oh, doesn't it work by just adding those angled blocks on top of antlines? Might be a version thing. Maybe the BEE forums/ github helps?
E L Y T R O N 26 Sep, 2024 @ 10:05pm 
How did you get antlines on the sloped blocks? is that possible in beemod?

I was stumped for the longest time on those ending moves, was so tunnel visionned on the laser that I didn't consider pulling the cube off the button with the funnel :steamfacepalm: . Only thing that could have made this map better would be a secondary usage of the gel . Great map either way, easy favourite!

Very nice puzzle. Just for fun I managed to cheese it without using the blue gel.

Phew! Finally completed this puzzle. My solution was slightly different than the one you link, and it was this difference that kept me stumped for so long - it never occurred to me that I could acquire the blue gel so early in the solution, and so I took the opportunity at about 13:00 into your solution video to have both cubes in the central laser area and perform the relevant move there, rather than having them behind bars. This assumption lead to me missing for ages what should have been obvious in retrospect - that the timer on the floor button meant that I could use the pull funnel without losing access to the titular periscope. My other slight deviation was in pulling the cube entirely into the funnel at the end rather than dropping & grabbing it. Very nice stuff!

@ E L Y T R O N: Thank you! The competition was hard so it really means a lot to win second place. :spider_dance:

Congrats on second place! This was a doozy of a map! :p2aperture:

@SpielSatzFail: Thank you for playing and the screenshots. Angled lasers are not intented (see description). :brownchicken:

Crazy map. I didn't find all of the solutions, but I found an alternate one. Just a tiny deviation, but sadly it skips the idea of flipping the cube with the pedestal button when it comes to reaching the back end area. At this time I wasn't aware of the options it would provide. I was looking for a way to build up something that would collapse as soon as I rearrange my portals. Please see my screenshots:

I had some trouble with the original and this one gave me even more trouble !

It also didn't help that I forgot the important moves from the original too

However I still had a good time figuring out the puzzle

It was hard and the logic is really good :steamthumbsup:

The only sad thing that I have to say : There's no reuse for the blue gel and back area

Favorited !

Here's my blind playthrough too :

Hey guys, the map recieved an major update which hopefully adresses all of your complaints and should fix Sheepdogs exploit. I recommend to play the map again, even if you already played it, because you may have missed some of the main ideas. :spider_dance:

@₴ⱧɆɆ₱ĐØ₲ Thanks for the video and the compliment, sadly you skip some of my intented solutions. Will post again when its fixed. Quick tip: you can save a lot of time by shooting through the glasshole instead of looping around through the fizzler so often :spider_dance:
Mausgeburt  [author] 11 Mar, 2023 @ 6:16am 
@NLuziaf Well, that is obviously abusing a portal magnet. Will fix :brownchicken:

For completion sake and to double-check, here is the solution I used. I don't know your rules for solution videos so feel free to delete this comment if you don't want them yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFkR7y5ef5k . Let me know if I over complicated anything.:steamthumbsup:
ĐⱤ₳Ⱡ₳₥i₳₦ 10 Mar, 2023 @ 7:34pm 
Really great map!

@NLuziaf I'm not sure what you mean by obscure shot . Care to elaborate? :spider_dance:
Mausgeburt  [author] 9 Mar, 2023 @ 9:26am 
@klaus.sfc01 & @E L Y T R O N Thanks guys for making sure the map is entered. Appreciate it. :spider_dance:
NLuziaf 9 Mar, 2023 @ 6:05am 
This map is so good, but the only fix you need to do is prevent the obscure portal shot to get both cubes in the entrance area by making the surface deeper .
E L Y T R O N 8 Mar, 2023 @ 3:25pm 
Haha, okay because I told the discord mod and now this map is on the list! Go us! Teamwork!
klaus.sfc01 8 Mar, 2023 @ 2:16pm 
No worries i already told mike about it
E L Y T R O N 8 Mar, 2023 @ 10:41am 
@klaus.sfc01, typically people post their entries in a chat thread on Mike's Discord (your entry got in because Mike posted it himself after you messaged him on steam). I'm just making sure Mausgeburt's makes it in because, as of right now, it is not officially in the discord list. I'm sure it will all work out!
klaus.sfc01 7 Mar, 2023 @ 9:44pm 
So it probably will be entered
klaus.sfc01 7 Mar, 2023 @ 9:43pm 
@E L Y T R O N the contest got extended till the 22nd mike told me
E L Y T R O N 7 Mar, 2023 @ 12:59pm 
be sure to post this on his discord or PM Mikeastro or something so that it gets officially entered!
klaus.sfc01 7 Mar, 2023 @ 11:20am 
This map was great i finally solved it it took me the whole day and the last move where you had to press the pedestal button through the glass hole was absolutely evil but i loved every second of playing this map :)
Random Hero 7 Mar, 2023 @ 12:22am 
I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the cubes and myself back to the entrance area At this point I'm not even sure if that's what I'm supposed to be doing lol.
All in all, very nicely done!
