Nice job on the layout. Simple puzzle but hard to execute. Thanks.

Funny solution ^^

It's possible to get stuck if getting the cubes off the first button fails and you end up with both cubes on the first button and yourself on the other side.

Brilliant!

good
is this the intended sollution:
while standing on button, portaled cube towards me.
put it on button, while I am still on it, to avoid cube destruction.
put portal about 3rd tile up, another in floor near goo.
grabed cube & jumped in floor portal from floor, then out of wall, back into floor portal, to launch to other side.
took a while to do this.
put portal in floor where faithplate launches cube to & where cube dropper, dropes cube, (same portal / same place) put the other portal on wall behind button with cube on.
then launched cube from faith plate.
it misses cube on button, because of the angle the faithplate caused it to enter portal.
but goes into goo & is destroyed.
now it respawns into portal on floor & comes out of portal on wall behind cube on button, & knockes it off button, opening exit door, then exit.
fiddly to execute, but a touch of mevious.

A bit tricky, but yeah, simple ^^

The puzzle is obvious but it is all just trial and error and it's annoying when the cube gets stuck on the other side and you have to start over

Very nice)

Fixed the unintended solution and the getting stuck scenario.

If both cubes fall onto the button, the puzzle becomes unsolveable. There should be a way to cross back over from the other side - perhaps a jump pad that takes you over the laser grid?

It was a very interesting solution; I'm actually quite impressed as to how it was done.

One thing, though: it is possible to get both cubes stuck on the button if the portal placement is a little off, and the test becomes unsolveable.

Hi. I'm not sure of your intended solution but this is how I did it: http://youtu.be/KZwyYjgM3Bo

Very cool, not as hard as you say it is. Definitely unique though.

Having a floor button activate a box dropper was a bit weird. Otherwise, quite clever!

Placing the second cube is painless if you drop it from the dispenser instead of having it reach terminal velocity, but of course it's not apparent that terminal velocity is a bad idea until you try it.

Cute little level. Thumbs up.
Wasn't difficult to work out, but well done doing so much with so little.
Placing the second cube can be a bit irritating is my only complaint.
