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:

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:

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...
