Really enjoyed the puzzle. Honestly, thought the chamber was impossible until I realised that the cube needed to be respawned in order to be teleported to the receiver. I love how you can make absolute bangers without any bit of decoration. Enjoy your maps a lot, including this one!

That difficulty is NOT easy. My brain is hurting right now.

You should add some kind of invisible panel that tied to the angled panel. You can simply take both cubes to the end area and jump up to finish the map. Tried this after getting frustrated and was surprised it worked. On to find the real solution.

Nice map; I did it with E L Y T R O N's method after first trying to do some nonsense involving flinging one cube onto the other to knock them both off the button, which I couldn't get to work . Elegant design and very reminiscent of the classic feel. Thumbs up!

Nice little map!:steamthumbsup: I didn't respawn anything,but I thought there should be a reason
you built the regular cube.For me the the white surface was overwhelming and I'm not sure if the intended way included flying to the end of the laser .

Stumped me at first and had to come back to it the next day. Really nice! The put cube in front of laser move seems to be popular among the submissions, however I think this one did it the best :steamthumbsup:

Great little map. I found the angled panel and its placement very fascinating. :steamthumbsup: There's definitely some old school openness to parts of the solution: I quickly spotted bullfrog's oscillation method where the player grabs the cube from the button while flinging. Then there are 2 different respawn methods for the regular cube the player could use instead: 1) shown by E L Y T R O N with using the RC to aim the laser into a white wall which's possible from the exit area or 2) what I did, because it's a move I saw in so many old school maps: Oscilatting between 2 floor portals, moving one portal to the wall and then entering the original laser surface. . Big thumbs up!

Nice puzzle :steamthumbsup:

It didn't affect the playthrough a lot, but google translates "make sure to jump when you fling" as "be sure to jump when you throw" for my and some other languages, so I confused this line with some unknown way of cube tossing. Don't know how important it is, but decided to mention.

I'm pleased you are not preventing it, at the cost of a vanilla/old school puzzle feel.
I did that initially, because I was stumped and clutching at straws, but knew it must be wrong.

Thanks everyone for the kind words!
@bullfrog I was wondering if anyone would find the silly method. It would be easy to prevent, but not without sacrificing some aesthetic simplicity, so I decided to leave it. Looks like you found the intended solution in the end; good work!

As promised: intended solution ?

And out of interest, here’s what I did originally: silly alternative method ! I suppose that could be prevented, but I'm really not sure if it's worth it.

Why do I always end up doing things the hard way, before coming up with the with the easier (and much better!) solution! Excellent puzzle, definite :steamthumbsup: I'll record the way I did the way I did it bit to check, but I'm pretty sure it's as you intended - but I have been wrong many times before XD

Very nice puzzle !!!

@Dido Killer! I guess it took you 1.5 days so that makes sense.
@E L Y T R O N That is the intended solution. Well done.
DiDo Killer! 5 Jul, 2024 @ 5:43pm 
It didn't take me 2 days to realize I could just place one cube closer to the receiver no.

Nice little puzzle :steamthumbsup:
E L Y T R O N 4 Jul, 2024 @ 3:53pm 
Ha I love your description! And 'Glimpse' is the perfect title. :steamthumbsup:

intended solution?

I lika the map :steamthumbsup: Pretty neat solution, actually took me a bit to see what to do after gaining the angled panel. Also I will always like the cube blocking the receiver move. Funny lil guy!
