This coop map revolves around redirecting redirection cubes via funnels, and the magic that follows. This map is a little tough though, you might wan to pre-lube for it.

This is a updated edition just for the contest, so you might want to double up on lube just in case.

Congrats on the release! I'm glad I could help you playtest this one. I haven't played it since you changed the first puzzle with the

excursion funnel and moving around the laser cube

so I'm looking forward to giving it another shot.

Tough map, but I love a challenge! Solved it yesterday. One recommendation though -

make the hole in the glass in the laser room further from the death lasers, because initially my partner and I just threw the laser cubes through the death lasers and caught them through the hole in the laser room. Sorry, that is probably confusing to read.

Yeah thats one way of solving it. Theres like 3 methods of solving each piece of that overall puzzle, and I was okay shipping it with those solutions available. A lot of people found different ways to get the cube into the laser room, so any way works out.

Nice map, took us longer than usual to figure out, which is a good thing!

Played this with a buddy just now...
We were quite certain that we really got a very weird way of solving it that probably wasn't intended, because no one could think up stuff like that.
Reading this thread, it seems we did it in an intended way.

Quite a mindbender. Cheers.

for reference: we got the first death-field down from within the room using acute laser angles into a portal and then getting it in the detector from the ground. Then we got the second cube in the laser room and created a mess of laserbeams, that somehow succeeded to hit all 4 detectors.

Why would you need to get the cube into the laser room? It's really easy to direct the laser the way you need to even from the outside
