Hey, I just solved this test, and wow. I liked the style of the level and the way it was solved. For me part 2 was easier than part 1 but both tests are awesome :D

Now I see what you mean. I was able to recreate it. I will definitely change that today, thanks for letting me know! and yeah, it is kinda of funny that this is just as hard to find, but it definitely does not feel clean, because you cannot really see the portal surfaces you are shooting

Here's how I did it:
It's not a real exploit in that it is almost as hard to find as the true solution I think, but with the normal cube on the button, you're able to aim 2 white surfaces (on "first" and "second" platform) through the gap. With the lazer cube redictering the ray at 90° on the first one, you can then switch multiple times between them to activate/deactivate the receiver and therefore the emancipation grids. Bit tricky I suppose, but on the first time I thought it was the actual solution. (yet it only works if you have the second cube already, which was possible by throwing it like @Syntaxeror explained; and sorry for the flood but I really really like what you're doing :)

Thank you so much @MXMahe!

I know the gap you are talking about and i definitely did not intend that you can shoot through it. However I don‘t see how it can help you with the puzzle. Could you elaborate more on the exploit you found?

Amazing map with an excellent concept. Can't wait to try the next ones!
There is a little exploit though:
Between the two emancipation grids, behind the button, there is a little gap in the wall allowing to shoot portals and cross the area without using the trick with the redirection cube and the button.

Hey Syntaxeror!
I just tried it and you are absolutely correct. Also yes, it does not help you at all solving the puzzle because you skip a move that you need to do twice anyways. So the cheesers will actually get punished for doing that :P
Anyways, I will keep the map like that for now, but will look to not miss that kind of stuff in the future. Thanks for telling me!

Also, thank you very much. I am glad you enjoyed it so far :)

On a side note :
It is possible to throw the plain cube across the gap and get it on the button without the second light bridge. I don't feel like it removes a part of the puzzle but thought you might want to know.

Very nice !!
I caught on the mechanic faster than your first solo map but it is just as great ! Keep up the good work !

@The_Real_Progressbar_95 Congratulations on finding the achievement and thank you!

I found the achievement: You are being used! and amazing map!
Timodeus  [author] 4 May, 2023 @ 1:03pm 
@MXMahe That is correct, congratulations on finding the secret first ;)

We still haven't finished the map (of course) but we think we have found the achievement with @Froster and @Syntaxeror. It is a secret message: you are being used . Is that correct?
