[SP] Laser Minimalism v1.0
Quote from 2CAE7256 on July 7, 2011, 2:00 pmThis map consists of three small laser puzzles. I hope that they are original, fun and challenging.
I'm especially proud of the last one.Screenshots:

Feel free to try to find some glitch or imperfection in this map, I was the only tester. I know it's possible to trap yourself, but that's not a glitch, that's your own fault.I made doors that are hopefully closing correctly (they don't close if you are standing inside them and close after you leave the area only if test chamber is in not solved state) (these by valve are not doing this properly).
I tried to make this as compact as possible, so that's why file is so small.

Quote from miller1003 on July 7, 2011, 3:37 pmI enjoyed your laser puzzles. I've linked screenshots of my solutions to each chamber; hopefully I found your intended solutions.

[spoiler]My Chamber #2 Solution[/spoiler]
[spoiler]My Chamber #3 Solution[/spoiler]Also, all doors worked properly for me. All 3 chambers took me about 50 minutes total to solve. It was indeed challenging and fun. Thanks!

[spoiler]Second Chamber: After I stack the two redirectionals on top of each other, I can pull the bottom one out and move it. That's how I managed to solve it.[/spoiler]
Annoyingly small. Forced close proximity to the lasers bothers me. Indeed, challenging, nearly frustrating. I found the solutions by accident.

Quote from xdiesp on July 8, 2011, 2:38 amBonsai version of Stockpile, analogously devoted to multilasers and other extreme interpretations of this genre. Curiously confined in microscopic rooms, it's either remembering Stockpile or getting stuck forever trying out all possible combinations - ever aggravated by the setting. Unsuggested.

All of your solutions are intended. Nice job!@rlink:
I actually knew about this. I don't consider that a map glitch. I think this is Portal 2 glitch. Like an excursion funnel flying glitch, it's an obvious glitch. The player knows he isn't solving it correctly. I don't think there is much I can do, but I think the solution shouldn't be much different from the intended one.@xdiesp:
Thanks for mentioning Stockpile map. I didn't know about it. So I see that my map isn't really original, especially second puzzle is very similar to my third.
I disagree with you about just trying all possible combinations. As I played that Stockpile map, I didn't solve the third puzzle by random shooting.
And of course your solutions are intended ones, basically same as miller1003's.

Quote from xlinop on July 14, 2011, 10:45 amWhile it's true the close contact to the lasers was annoying, this map made me think even more obtuse than I normally do. I liked playing through it and the small space made it so more frustrating I had to solve it! Good job, though it'd be nice to expand (see what I did there?)
Also, your last chamber should be the first chamber. I solved that one the fastest

Quote from Djinndrache on July 17, 2011, 9:13 amI'm playing custom maps and record my first time of playing them. So the run is not perfect and may not use only intended ways, but maybe it can let you see how other people may understand the map or you could just enjoy someone playing this map for entertainment.
Anyways, here is the recording:zuXRo_iA7EY

Quote from KennKong on February 10, 2012, 12:00 amOK as far a laser puzzles go, which isn't very far in my opinion. I really hate getting pinched between a wall and a laser, and getting zapped in the ass every time I turn around. But this map lives up to its title, all puzzle and nothing more. 4/5 from me.
