Brilliant puzzle; thumbs up, added to favourites and also now following. My solution was basically the same as @BehindPortal, but with a LOT more mucking about!

@Teo Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.

Cool map! I enjoyed that ending sequence quite a bit, especially the cube block . The reuses of the cube dropper over faithplate setup were really awesome, though I was surprised when the piston and second faithplate were only used once . Great work on this; lots of creative ideas here for sure

@Atom Thanks! It's always difficult for me to gauge the difficulty. Some maps I deem to be difficult, aren't, and vice versa. It depends on the player.

Phew, finally solved this one. Great work! This map has a favorite in my book.

@camerson1313 Thanks!

@jandlml Glad you finally got it! Yeah that lasercatcher ... I dunno how to fix that. Maybe recompile with a newer Beemod once that is somewhat less buggy.

Looked super complicated at first. Figuring out how to get back to the entrance area was the hardest part, after that everything came together quite nicely. Good puzzle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNb2IcVvEWo

man!! excellent map. after i got off last night i realized what i was thinking early on was the right way to go. i just discarded the idea because i just couldnt see how to get it to work. but then i realized i never used the portal surface above the bridge. ah ha. but then i had to get past the idea that you needed both cubes to get to the exit door. this part popped into my head the second i woke up this morning. weird. so i zipped through it today. i did have to use noclip to bypass that bug with the laser receptor . even resubbing didnt work to get it to stop faved ! and awarded

@jandlml You do see the ending move ?
jandlml 8 Aug, 2020 @ 11:02pm 
man i am really struggling with this. i just dont know why.
jandlml 8 Aug, 2020 @ 7:49pm 
ok thats what i thought. dont know how but i will keep thinking on it
•‹†ρđ› ĐūšР2ķ•  [author] 8 Aug, 2020 @ 5:10am 
@jandlml You need to set it up differently before taking the lift.
•‹†ρđ› ĐūšР2ķ•  [author] 8 Aug, 2020 @ 5:08am 
@Spacekitty. Thanks and you're right. I borrowed that concept for this map.
SpKi 8 Aug, 2020 @ 3:37am 
Fun map. The ending move reminded me of an ending move in one of Demon Arisen's maps. Definite thumbs up.
jandlml 7 Aug, 2020 @ 4:15pm 
so am i good where i am or do i need to go back and try something else?
•‹†ρđ› ĐūšР2ķ•  [author] 7 Aug, 2020 @ 3:39pm 
jandlml You are very close to solving it. You misplaced 1 element.
jandlml 7 Aug, 2020 @ 2:33pm 
so is the way i am in the pic right for now or do i need to do it differently to get to the same point. i have tried different ways of placing the cubes but i cant come up with one that gets me to the back area and still be able to have the fizzler wall open so i can get to the bridge . ive even tried to think backwards but i cant come up with a way that i can use the portal surface near the door. except by the bridge . i cant get over how many maps ive played lately that have taken me more than 3 days to finish. wow!
jandlml 7 Aug, 2020 @ 2:28pm 
i know that portal is acting wonky lately. ive been trying to accept your friend request but nothing seems to be happening. have they changed the way you do it. i clicked the accept button
•‹†ρđ› ĐūšР2ķ•  [author] 7 Aug, 2020 @ 12:34am 
jandlml You being on the lift is good, but in this state you can't open the exit. You have to do something different.
jandlml 6 Aug, 2020 @ 7:32pm 
jandlml 6 Aug, 2020 @ 7:14pm 
thanks looks like i have the old version. i will resub
•‹†ρđ› ĐūšР2ķ•  [author] 6 Aug, 2020 @ 12:49am 
btw If your're seeing a laserfield instead of a purple fizzler near the cube dropper, you're in an older version of the map. I've updated it since.
•‹†ρđ› ĐūšР2ķ•  [author] 6 Aug, 2020 @ 12:47am 
@jandlml Lol, is portal really that broken lately? The purple fizzler near the blue cube dropper? The laser receptacle disappearing has happened to Narkodes as well. I've never seen that happen. Maybe resubscribing/downloading the map will fix it?
jandlml 5 Aug, 2020 @ 9:54pm 
what purple fizzlers are you talking about in the description?
jandlml 5 Aug, 2020 @ 9:52pm 
wow there have been some really difficult maps coming out lately. this one has me very confused. this is where i am now. is this even right? https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2188868827
jandlml 5 Aug, 2020 @ 7:59pm 
something happened to the laser receptacle https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2188811419

Perfect!
lapicidas 5 Aug, 2020 @ 4:48am 
Ahh, okay. Now I used all elements :steamhappy:
•‹†ρđ› ĐūšР2ķ•  [author] 4 Aug, 2020 @ 2:06pm 
Thanks lapicidas! Will fix that.
lapicidas 4 Aug, 2020 @ 2:05pm 
Meanwhile i found that i made my solution too complicated. I could have saved the actions from 1:23 to 2:50 and simply took the cube with me. But then there is no reason for the platform!
The intended solution is probably quite different ;-) I will think about it tomorrow.
lapicidas 4 Aug, 2020 @ 1:38pm 
The updates are very well done, before that it was an easy going: https://youtu.be/BKQzgUl6b0E .
Now it is much more complex and has become a really good puzzle! But I have discovered another unintended move - not spectacular, but possible: https://youtu.be/YBIe0kwPZIk
I am also not sure whether my "good" solution is correct because I did not use the panel on the ceiling to stop the cube with the lightbridge .
Here the vid with the probably intended way, except at the very end - a little more space would not be bad: https://youtu.be/6q8ExJqv5aI
