Stuck a little bit so I opened @Daoud Baba's solution https://youtu.be/pu5bDPN0s-I and it was so cool that I couldn't stop watching (proper action skills also). Looks like a good map.

Great puzzle, long and complicated. I did have a bit of a problem with the faith plates not performing as intended. One of the jumps required several tries.

Nice maze puzzle! I 2nd what has already been stated about the parts not needed, but still a very good puzzle! If you like, please give my new puzzle a try: Over Here, Over There. Hope you like!

Thanks quaternary. :) Glad you like it.
I dislike your coin flip skills though. :P

Sexy. Nice work.

For some reason it reminded me of Antichamber, my other favorite puzzle game, in that you would walk through an unfamiliar door and find yourself back where you just were. (e.g. the last door before the exit, you walk through it and you're like "wow, it's the faith plate room, I was just here!"). Really nice :D

Nice run Daoud Baba. As predicted, you did a different solution as anyone else, but all followed the intended route. :)

My solution : https://youtu.be/pu5bDPN0s-I
I known there are minimum both ways for reach the laser area but i found mine the most reliable ;)

The end is very frustrating... I has been stuck for a while and when i saw the key, i really said "HAha !" I was planing a complex solution in my head but the correct way are "easy as pie". Otherwise, that was a good and fun experience !

Hey IVO, yeah, the idea behind this map is that finding the correct route is the maze, so you found yourself a dead end. :)

This puzzle has many routes you can take. If you did not use a portable panel, you likely just took a slightly different route, possibly harder.

As for getting stuck, I tested that its always possible to get back. But I guess there is one small thing in the beginning which could get you stuck indeed. There's not much I can do about it now given that the competition is all-going. But I'll note it down for after the competition is over. Its not a deal-breaking thing anyway.

This was a tough one at first. I had no Idea what to do the last time I played this map so today I watched the first few minutes of Innocentive's playthrough and it turned out that the thing I was missing was that I had to get one portal over the faith plate and use it to get to the laser room with the ball. And I thought that I have to use the bridge to do that.

After that it was as easy as pie. Though I didn't use the white floored pit behind the door which gets opened by the retractable pedestal button. I also got stuck at the beginning when I got to the laser room and put both my portals there. I then had no bridge to go back down and I hadn't pressed the button for the panels in the water. I guess that's a bug.

Other than that it's a fine map.

Indeed all intended. This puzzle has lots of small variations in performing its parts. I learned that during the testing, but that makes this map even more interesting, and your route shows that just as well. Overall, all was intended, but some actions you performed made more sense than my intended solution, where others made less sense. :)

A very fine map! At first I was running (and eventually noclipping) around the map and could not make sense of it all because I missed one slanted surface. But once I found that detail it was a lot of fun to find the way through this map (which I'd truly consider a maze ;). Anyhow, I really like the way you connected the separate parts of the map. It's a beautiful logical construction. Big thumbs up!!!

Here's how I reached the exit . I'm sure here and there I could have taken slightly shorter ways but all in all this should be the intended solution.
