Just played v1.1. Love the puzzles. Nice little bit of logic, good size, good layout. My only gripe is I

jumped down from the top of the wall without the cubes and without an open portal. While I didn't technically get stuck, I had to go back through the whole process of getting the first cube and getting back up top again

. This isn't really a deal breaker; it is mainly an annoyance. It's probably necessary to prevent the shortcut that markiu revealed. Just thought you would want to know. Other than that, a fine piece of work. Looking forward to the next one.

Edit: Forgot to say I noticed a potential bug. Sometimes the

second cube dropper would drop a cube then immediately destroy it. I tested many times and it always seemed to drop at least 2, and sometimes 3 before they would stop fizzling out. Could it have something to do with them dropping on top of the button?

Excellent puzzle and great use of lasers..
minor bug: the cube drop in room one did not always drop the cube on the button - did eventually get it though. Enjoyed the logic.

I will try to release an updated version later today which will add another puzzle!

Nice update. The new puzzle elements are great. I noticed one potential bug.

The lift platform in the second room got stuck in the up position at one point.
