very nice challenge, thanks!

Clever laser grid and map, thumbs up.
The location of the portalable wall after the stairs allows for much easier solutions that don't involve the receptor that activates said stairs, however. It should be easily fixable and would prevent people from solving it in an unintended way!

couldnt figure out the first room laser and watched your solution vid for that part

welll I thought it was failry apparent in stage 1 that the "up" stairs was the way, as as you create the grid, the sinage lights up... also, your pic does not show a solution to stage 1.... the final receptor is not getting the laser.

thank you very much for the feedback. :-)

So long story short, great work with the laser grids, and very impressive solutions although far fetched, perhaps improve the laser structure's intentional feel in the first part and make sure that some laser combination is the finishing touch, to not feel anti-climatic, but great job overall, and definitely difficult enough for any portal 2 player, haha! :)

Comment Part 3

Stage 3, getting up there and utilizing the laser above, that was a bit dissapointing as well, because there were ways to make my laser pattern more efficient etc, and I was hoping for a clever solution, but then I found a pretty well hidden panel (obivously so you can't just portal up there so I don't blame you for that!), and I just used that and beat the level, but it felt a bit anti-climax to have to find a portable panel up there and just drag my cubes along, haha.

There was also a lot of confusion in stage 1, do I go left or right, what do I need, etc. Perhaps you can make the left entrance more of a hidden entrance, with the angled panel facing towards the start instead, so you don't have to worry about it as much, and maybe conceal the receiver on the left with something so you don't worry about it as much.

Comment Part 2


I thought your level was pretty cool and I found some neat angle combinations. I was a bit dissapointed at how I got through, not using the stairs, because I really wanted to do it right, then I saw your actual solution and figured that that was so far fetched that I was glad to have found an alternative, I hope you can restructure your level to form a solution that feels much more intentional than that.

Stage 2 was fine, I was happy to use the Laser Redirection there, even if it was quite obvious and less difficult compared to the first, I was happy to get along :)

Heey there, played your puzzle as you asked, thx for playing mine btw :)
I blindly played the puzzle and made it through after a long while and then later looked at your walkthrough to see how to actually do it.

*Spoilers ahead!*

Here's how I got through stage 1:

stage 2 was like you did it, and stage 3 I did it this way:

You're on the right track... I played with it for quite some time.. I could only find one solution... usually these types of puzzles end up with 4 or 5 solutions or using less cubes than given.

I've been working on the first part for a bit. I can see it requires laser feedback through portals. I just need to find the right directions. I'll come back to it later.
