Still don't get how you missed that laser catcher, its indicator lines are in plain sight.

I don't know why but I thought that I have already used it.

I will make a video how I finished this map. It's crazy solution
Edit: Added video. Now, it was easier than last time. And not so complicated

Ah, that is how you did it. Portal sniping. Well, I guess that's alright seeing as how it's definitely not cutting corners and in fact only makes it harder on the self.

The map really isn't all that complicated.

Excellent set of maps. Nice use of laser puzzle elements. However, while I understand your creative desire to include partially decayed textures in some places I personaly don't usually find mixing texture styles visually attractive. IMO a consistent decayed theme would have been more interesting. Everything worked fine and I think I used the intended solution path as I didn't do anything extreme.
Thanks for creating.

I'm glad you liked the map, thanks for the feedback.

About the different visual styles, I assume your biggest problem lies with the dried up goo pit. I understand what you're coming from, though I figured the goo would have had to have some effect to the otherwise pristine test chambers. As for the destroyed walls and ceilings, that's just part of the same theme as I've been going with for most of my maps. Just more destroyed, revealing cavernous displacements, but I was hoping to add tot the style with that. Most people seem to enjoy it.

But yeah, that pit might have been a bit overdone.

Cheers man.. really enjoyed that!
The puzzles were nice and compact, but took a wee bit of thinking and planning, and repeating areas with slightly different tactics. Style wise I like your new additions too, and all the attention to detail
The [spoiler]mine shaft[/spoiler] had me laughing, but I got a little pissed off when I realised I'd taken my cube through and had to re-do. Was quicker to jump in the water at that point :p
Can't wait for more!

Thanks for the feedback on yet another one of my maps sickle! I'm glad you like my design choises, and of course the puzzle.

[spoiler]About the mine shaft: I assume you took the normal cube with you through a portal? Hah, yeah, classic mistake.[/spoiler] >:D

Well, I could make the [spoiler]white walls by the far end black[/spoiler], but that would make the room so ugly. Why don't people think about their return ticket when crossing something deadly?
