Fun and interesting map, Hugo, in spite of all the times I trapped myself. I got hung up while convinced that the solution would require cube swapping in order to deactivate the flip panel and ride the blue funnel to the exit area until I saw what was basically your intended solution. Just for fun I replayed until I figured out how to do what I had in mind initially https://youtu.be/Hu14z2Aq2Oo .

Interesting. I'm sure I did the end wrong but this is an old map so I'm sure you wouldn't update it anyway. Thumbs up.

I like your solution better @bullfrog :P

...OK, I did it differently, but I don’t see why the funnel changes from pull to push at 30:50 in your video; when I redid it, this happened (which also works :) ), but perhaps I’m missing something. Anyway; feel free to ignore my ramblings; I enjoyed the puzzle which is based on a clever idea that I really like and I know you’ve come a long way since these early maps. PS, it was also funny in your walkthrough that you’d forgot your own solution for a while :P

...this is the way I did it: I’ll look at your walkthrough in a mo.

Now that, I really like - big thumbs up.

Nicely done! Tricky double logic. Thanks!

Agreed, there's no shame in creating a map wherein players can find alternate ways to solve it. If the alternate solution skips the majority of the map the author ought to patch it but if it's just a small portion that's skipped it isn't really worthy of a remake and challanges players to find the exploit.

Hey dven1, thanks for liking it! So, I was going to patch some of the parts of the puzzle that allowed for skipping straight to the exit. But the more I patched, the more alternative ways I found, and I realized the problem wasn't so much on how much I could patch, but rather on how much I was willing to leave alternative routes for clever players. I guess the fact that you can always find new ways to solve this puzzle just proves that I underestimated the players. Congratulations on beating it differently, and thanks for playing :)

Nice map, well made and lit. Very clever use of the angled panel, I'm not sure I finished the puzzle as intended I just jumped out of a portal positioned near the exit platform but I had fun solving it as I did. Thanks for your work.
