This is my entry to Summer Mapping Initiative. First room is all about lasers. As for second room, it's not impossible it's actually really easy. I just hope it's not too hard or too easy.

It's big file because I didn't know how to optimize map and now I don't have time.

Good luck and have fun.

Tentacular multilaser puzzle, surprisingly tame by the genre's standards. With a very fun treasure-hunting preparation time! Loved that part. :mrgreen: Engaging and polished.

the hills are alive... with the sound of music

@xdiesp Thanks for replay, it's really inspiring . I really thought it's too easy or too hard, I am glad someone likes it, the way it is.

If you mean that second room (corridor actually) it's my favorite part too.

I'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:

This one took me a while, because apparently I'm a slow learner. I'm also uncoordinated, which makes jumping over lasers a PITA. However, once I woke up and used all the elements present, the solution wasn't difficult at all. The last room was hilarious; I set a portal in the floor where I was landing and looped and looped and looped! Even though it's far from being one of my favorite maps, I think it's well done and deserves a 4/5.

I am glad that last room was hilarious and not frustrating. It is valuable data for the science
Thanks for the feedback.
