@Another Bad Pun: Thanks for reporting that. Guess that is a pretty strange sight. Not game-changing, but still, I'll see what I can do.

Valid puzzler in better than average, personal Decay style: such care for detail leaves no afterthoughts, but the author does pop up here and there. Variety takes a hit due to just 2 chambers both dedicated to lasers, but expect lenght be vastly impacted by your expertise with the specifics.

To its merit, neither of the puzzles descend into multilasers excess: in a way, tieing this one to Discouragement Encouragement in themes and range. Suggested unless you hate lasers, the only mixed impression I had is with the general brightness.

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

There's part of the solution I tried to use. Basically, the cube would direct the laser

through a portal to the right of the entry door when facing back towards the entryway and out through the other portal to strike 3 relays at once with just one cube.
I think it would have worked had I been able to keep the cube level.

@xdiesp: Thanks for the positive review. Although I must say that Discouragement Encouragement looks way better in my opinion. And yeah, guess the lighting in the second chamber is kinda' bright and blue-ish.

@BOB74j: I'm still a little confused. Is this the solution you thought was the right one? I think you're overthinking things. The room is supposed to be easy, and I don't think placement helpers would, well... help.

I had no idea what the right solution was. I was just looking for a solution that worked. I consider myself to be pretty good at Portal, but puzzles that involve multiple laser relays always really confuse me for some reason. So yeah, the problem I encountered was most likely exclusive to me, but I thought I would throw it out there just in case anyone else ran into it.

@BOB74j: Guess I can post a screenshot with the solution tomorrow, but for now I'm going to sleep. :snooze:

Very beautiful level design. The laser puzzles are great, although a bit easy. But it was clever. Thanks for the entertainment.

HA ha !

Normally I don't like Laser relay based puzzles, if find them boring, arduous and a lazy attempt at a puzzle. And of course this map is no exception. I did how every really like the maps design, layout and ambience.
