All in all a very clean map and elegant in it's simplicity, not to say the puzzle is too difficult, it was a good level of difficulty overall in my opinion.

[spoiler]I almost slapped myself when I realised I could throw my cube at the button to drop the other cube. Nice job making a non-infuriating cube throw puzzle.[/spoiler]

I think I circumvented the normal way of doing it (but it didn't allow me to complete the puzzle any easier, it merely sidetracked me).
[spoiler]I stood on top of the redirection cube and jumped into the Excursion Funnel lifting it up with me to get onto the button before I was supposed to.[/spoiler]

Definitely a very well polished, albeit simple map, as part of a greater mappack or mod this would definitely shine, on it's own it seems to be a bit lacking however due to it only being one puzzle.

Well done. I look forward to more Doc.

Thanks for the feedback. I am glad that there is no blatantly obvious exploit posted yet.

Indeed, I also abhor cube tossing puzzles.

In fact, the player does not even need to throw the cube. Simply [spoiler]hold the reflective cube over your head and jump[/spoiler]. I measured the dimension perfectly so this works every time.

I would appreciate some sort of solution video before I rate this, because the only way I could get it to be solved was spending 10-15 minutes throwing the cube to make it eventually land on the button. That didn't feel right, but you didn't make any other solution very clear.

What button?[spoiler]Dont leave any cube behind in the one room.Remember there is a portal in the room where you got the second cube when you come out.USe it to go back and get other cube.Once you have the cubes use the funnel with a portal up near the entrance to go over and drop a cube on the light bridge button[/spoiler]

[spoiler]What button?[/spoiler]

[spoiler]First room. I didn't even use the light bridge for that part, although I knew you could get up there with it, but considering you need a box up there and on the light bridge button, I just used the box + funnel to shove me and the box up there. What I tried doing was initially throwing the box from the light bridge button up to the upper area, but I couldn't see anyone designing a map with that in mind.

I solved the map, but I didn't solve it the way it felt it should have been solved.[/spoiler]

EDIT: [spoiler]Also, you said "any cube." Was there a second cube in the first room I missed? I only saw one box dropper.[/spoiler]

You need both cubes (weighted and reflective) to be in the larger chamber to solve the puzzle.

I could add a ledge to the exit room to make cube-throwing up there impossible.

[spoiler]I was throwing it from the excursion funnel pressing against the ledge. If you stand on a box in a funnel, it lifts you up quite a few feet. From here I could throw the box. After a while, it worked, but then I realized you could use the same method with a little footwork and actually get yourself and the box up there, totally avoiding the light bridge.

How is it supposed to be solved with the light bridge anyways? I know you can lay the portal under the bridge to get its necessary height, but I dropped that solution because I couldn't bring the box activating the light bridge with me. Maybe I missed something.[/spoiler]

Once you are high enough, you can [spoiler]raise the cube and simply put the cube on the ledge[/spoiler]. This way, the cube will not fall off when you are [spoiler]adjusting the position of the light bridge portal[/spoiler].

Alternatively, you can leave the cube on the [spoiler]light bridge source while adjusting the position of the light bridge portal[/spoiler]. This way, [spoiler]adjusting the light bridge position[/spoiler] would not cause you to drop the cube to the floor.

Anyone thinks this map is ready to come out of the beta release?
