Description
Did you know laser cubes could "stand" on piston platforms' bars positioned horizontally? (it will make sense when you see it)
No, it doesn't work with other types of cubes. Yes, you have to lay it out in a specific way otherwise it doesn't work at all. Let's explore the possibilities!

The chamber is composed of an introductory room followed by the main puzzle.

CORE MECHANICS:
- cubes retrieving
- fizzlers bypassing
- lightbridging

Estimated difficulty: 4/10

Intended solution (old version of the map, the new version requires a few more steps but broadly it's the same): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgYhpQ77lcQ

EDITS: added a door for the transition between the introductory room and the main room and raised ceiling (which added an extra step for the solution). Also added a piece of glass to prevent an unintended solution found by DeathWish808.

3/10 might be a bit of a stretch, but I changed it to 4 and also removed the mention "many steps are required" which just sounded ridiculous considering the other maps I made since then xD
Your dedication to play all those maps, even the early ones which can be a bit of a pain, is truly admirable! Thank you so much for that :)

Another early one. Nothing particularly special (besides the balance thing of course). I thought I was trapped before the exit area before I realized it was part of the solution ^^
You should change the 6/10 into a 3 :-P

Thanks, I'm happy you enjoyed this one, although the design looks a bit rough compared to my standards nowadays. Thank you for the comment!

Thanks! In hindsight, this one looks a bit messy but the puzzle remains decent. Hope you had an enjoyable Christmas despite the lockdown!

Oh my, now that I see this map again, it strikes me that it could use a massive redesign! Especially because dropping the cube from 2 blocks high is a bit questionable indeed...
I believe I did the steps towards the end in a slightly different order, but it's all there in your video so yes, you did very well. Great job! :)
