The piston bug really ruins this one

@AxoLabs Fake the portable surface?

I loved the idea of the mechanic

Very cool!

@Imperator Maximus it's an incredibly annoying bug and I have no idea exactly why it happens. I've tried to fix it both in the initial version and in subsequent updates to no avail

Hey, I enjoyed this map, but I seem to have encountered a bug? Sometimes you can't place a portal on top of the piston, even if it's completely stationary, the game seems to think it's moving. Even though it happened multiple times I couldn't replicate it consistently, although it stopped after a while, letting me complete the puzzle. Restarting seems to have had no effect.

That was lovely! The piston usage was so dang clever!

Big thumbs up!!

Took a while to figure out the swap thing. Saw that and went Ohhhh, of course!
Very good puzzle and map!

Good map

Very Clever

i never played the first version but looking at it, great job on the update. also fun map - not too easy but not too difficult either so great job. Love the portal's rev cubes since we don't get too many of those puzzles.

Easy to execute but hard to see. Thanks for creating

Thank you @Crimson Phoenix and @TitaniumGrunt7! I'm very happy to know you liked it this much.

Absolutely phenomenal puzzle! How you have to figure out when to use or not use the laser box mechanic. Real brain food this was, bravo!

That was a great puzzle. I like the way it played, the way it looked and pretty much everything about. Thank you for this puzzle. 10/10

Good update, works a treat

Thank you @nerdlingnation! I'm glad you liked the way the piston platform was used, it's a part of the puzzle I'm very happy with how it turned out.

Nice and minimal. I like the use of the piston platform to deny momentum in one of its two positions .

Thank you @Sloi!

Nice one!

Thank you @PhilFromFrance!

Clever challenge.

@bullfrog yup, all intended! I've had a look at the exploit you've shown me, I might look into replacing the button with a cube button, I'd just need to make a button base instance for it. Again a massive thank you both for playing and reporting issues!

(also whoops I fumbled packing the observation room textures again)

That took me longer than it should have done: intended solution ? I also found a slight different method, but it's obviously unintended, so I don't know if it's worth fixing - I'll message you an unlisted video in a bit so that you can decide. Anyway, really good puzzle, have another

ah yes, the quantum cubes from portal revolution

Thank you @ShaggieIII!

Nice one.

Glad you figured it out @carterrocks2341!

Cool Puzzle, Got Me Running Around In Circles For A Bit. But I Was Able To Figure It Out.

Good, the first solution is fine, but the second is better, imho, so good luck with finding a fix.
Also, thanks for letting me know about the cubes - I'll go back and look at an older puzzle to see what I was missing then.

@bullfrog the second video is the intended one (slightly different execution from mine but doesn't really deviate in any significant way from the intended solution). I'll try to figure out a way to enforce it. Also yeah the cubes have always been like that, though I think the new models should make it a bit easier to see. Thank you for playing!

(side note but looking at the videos it seems the observation room textures weren't all packed properly- whoops!)

Also, this is the first time that I've noticed that you can see which way the cube will direct the laser by looking closely at it, as opposed to having to have one cube in the laser, then look at the other one - has this always been the case and I've just not noticed, or is this something new?

This is the sort of thing I did the first time through, but with a lot more moves! intended solution ?

Neat puzzle I initially came up with a much more complicated solution, but then I realised it was over complicating it: intended solution ?
