Small, contained laser puzzle that's a little more complex than it may first appear....

DIfficulty: Probably a little on the hard side.

----------------------------------------------

I spent much of last year travelling, and so this is my first released map in a long while. As ever, it's a small, minimally-styled chamber made of Hammer flesh over a PTI skeleton, with a focus more on the puzzle than the aesthetic side of things. That said, I did go to the trouble of chucking in a small Easter Egg of sorts, as a reward for players who like to mess around a bit.

Puzzle-wise I'm really pleased with how it turned out, and it might just be my favourite out of my own stuff. I've playtested it quite a lot and think it's pretty airtight, but then I always do; I'm fully prepared for the TWP crowd to prove me wrong....

EDIT: Challenge version uploaded! Check it out:

Agreed :thumbup:

Impressive puzzle El, impressive :notworthy: I'm still pulling it off, only played around 1 hour or so but

I'm still figuring out how to have one portal in second room (lined up with the laser catcher in room 1 that opens the exit), another up near the exit door and then enter from room 2 through the portal to get to the exit part with the cube and shoot this portal from up there to the wall in below room (number 1) where the laser beam ends...

Cheers Jose! There are actually two solutions that I know of - my original intended solution has a bit more flair to it, but both require a bit of thinking so I've let the other one stand. You sound like you're on the right track...

Excellent PUZZLE (in Capitals ;))!! Thanks a ton for creating this, man! Wow... thanks for coming back! :D

I'll check out for that easter egg immediately :)

Well deserved 5/5! :thumbup:

Ohhh, now THAT was a puzzle. Quite a bit of thinking was needed to solve this one. Well done! And the Easter Egg was a nice surprise.

EDIT: Now that I've seen your solution, josepezdj, I wonder which one of us found the solution with "more flair", because mine was very much different from yours (and slightly less complicated).

Roger, thanks for playing! I can safely say that Jose's solution was not the one I originally had in mind, and it's the solution I'd expect most people to find. As such, I've made a challenge version which (I think) forces the player to go with my original idea:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=120857219

If your solution is different to both, though, I'd love to hear it; it could be something I've overlooked.

EDIT: Nah, that's almost exactly what I had in mind! Nice work! The only thing you'd have to change to do the challenge version would be a couple of minor moves at the start.

Damn, need to make harder puzzles.

Well, I think for most people, it would be hard enough -- it took me a couple of hours of trying different things and several more of just thinking about it. Yeah, I see now what you had in mind after I completed the challenge version -- just one additional step near the beginning. And I like your revised Easter egg in the challenge version, too.

Great map El Farmerino! I had to really think for an hour or so there. I ended up with a solution very similar to josepezdj. I'll try the challenge version now...
I hope you continue mapping! :thumbup:

El Farmerino, just so you know josepezdj's and my solution is still available in the challenge version using this setup:

@grayarea,

Thanks for the feedback. I've updated the map with a little fix that also adds a bit to the map's atmosphere...
