FOR ALL WHO DOWNLOAD THIS MAP. PLEASE LEAVE COMMENT ON WHAT YOU THINK OF THE PRINCIPLE OF IDEA

This is taken from a puzzle which i struggled over 30 minutes to complete. simple 9 dot puzzle where you have to connect all 9 dots.

I am not looking for glitch finding or anything like that, as this map is completely different from the current release version on my computer. all im looking for is the feedback on the concept idea.

e.g did you find it difficult. easy, medium.. what was your initial thought when you see the room for the first time. im just really gauging what you guys think like.

I came in and I thought:
Oh my !@#$ I hate laser relay puzzles!

Then I saw three cubes and the angled surface and then I was like: I already know this solution!
Then I solved it within 1 minute.

Hope that was enough feedback, if not, please reply and I'll do my best to reply as good as I can

I started off thinking, "Another laser puzzle? Really?" But, the puzzle was easier than I expected. What was the point of the invisible floor?

the floor threw me off for a moment.. this puzzle has been used a few times in different maps here and there, with slightly different variations.

More laser puzzles, yay! There were times when laser was my favorite element, but it changed quite some time ago when all the laser puzzles began to look alike

just to reply to statements of the map being weird. Its because its a tester map. the current map on me computer doesnt look anything like this..

Wanted to see if you guys could see the idea concept, and what you thought of it. However, for me. this will be the last laser map. however it will be including a bunch of different things... introducing the next set of maps as such
