I was lucky enough to have the right cube in the right room at the end, it would be super annoying if they were switched

@Joric Yeah that's probably true. These old maps of mine tend to have higher ratings than they deserve. I'll lower it a bit
Joric 19.7.2020 klo 6.29 
4/10 is too generous. I just walked through minus some aiming troubles. Not a puzzle.

@BehindPortal Thank you very much :D I enjoyed watching your gameplay as usual :]

@Teo Thanks :] It's a bit of an old, rusty map, but the puzzle itself isn't terrible. Glad you liked it

Funny layout but an entertaining puzzle. Thanks for making

@Skerik I'm honoured to hear that you will be playing more of my maps! Just to let you know: I virtually never intend angled lasers through portals in my solutions :] I hope you'll enjoy solving them!
Skerik 3.3.2020 klo 14.22 
@Mikeastro No I didn't find the right way. To be honest, I didn't search for it after finding my way to the exit. I will go back later to this map. For now I'm continuing my journey through your hundred map pack.
Mikeastro  [tekijä] 3.3.2020 klo 9.32 
@Skerik Ha, funny moves. I have the feeling your playthrough mostly consists of doing things the hard way xD Overall the progress was kinda right. Did you also find the clean solution?
Skerik 3.3.2020 klo 7.33 
Hi. Nice map. I think I might have find an unintended solution:

@Spider_Dawg You've been very active lately! It makes me happy to see that you continue to enjoy solving my puzzles. For this one as well I have kind of forgotten the solution. I might want to refresh my memory some day :P But yeah, thanks for playing. I'm glad you enjoyed it
Spider_Dawg 28.12.2019 klo 15.22 
Another fun puzzle. 2 main "aha" moments were when, like @Nobody No-One, I realized that it was ok to lose the portals by going through the fizzler; and then seeing how to activate the moving platform from the moving platform.
Mikeastro  [tekijä] 13.9.2019 klo 15.16 
@stormsend Thanks :] I think this version of the map is a lot better than the original, so I don't think you should play it (unless you're really curious, of course :P)
stormsend 13.9.2019 klo 14.47 
Good thinking map. Not extremely hard but you have to work a little. I haven't played the other one but I will get to it. Thanks for mapping so well.

@Nobody No-One Thanks :] Glad you liked it

Very cool map. Took me a while to see that towards the end, it's OK to walk through a fizzler. Thumbs up.
Mikeastro  [tekijä] 2.12.2018 klo 17.33 
@quatrus Yeah you got it worked out - I guess you learnt the hard way why this map is named the way it is :P
quatrus 2.12.2018 klo 16.45 
Arrrgh, got back to retrieve the ball and first cube for the exit and must have swapped cubes in the 3rd chamber (took me some time trying to figure out what to do next) so I ended up with the wrong one respawning. At least I could see the solution - just didn't want to go back and run again. Thanks for creating and jgaultney for posting video.

These are clearly BEEMod maps; I do not have these issues, so you might want to consider updating/reinstalling BEE2.4.
Reika 29.7.2018 klo 12.58 
Recompile and republish it; that might fix it.
Mikeastro  [tekijä] 29.7.2018 klo 4.59 
@Reika Another peculiar bug... I'm a puzzlemaker, but not a programmer unfortunately, so all I can do is try to republish the map to see if that fixes it :/
Reika 28.7.2018 klo 23.40 
Your goo is missing a hurt trigger, so I can just swim across:

@bullfrog Thanks; I'll keep it around :)
bullfrog 19.6.2018 klo 0.57 
... just played 'Think ahead (HARD) v2'; I think you should "keep the old map", as they are both great and sufficiently different to make each stand alone.
Mikeastro  [tekijä] 18.6.2018 klo 3.31 
@bullfrog Thanks! It is indeed true that the most natural way to proceed leaves them precisely right :)
bullfrog 18.6.2018 klo 2.22 
Great puzzle. I worked through it relatively quickly, had a cube and the sphere at the exit and then thought, "what if the cubes are the wrong way round" :( but I was lucky :) or perhaps the puzzle forces them to be that way. Anyhow; big thumbs up.
Mikeastro  [tekijä] 14.6.2018 klo 1.57 
@jandlml Thank you! The original plays out similarly in the middle, but the beginning and ending are quite different
jandlml 13.6.2018 klo 21.05 
i guess i need to play the old map. this one is really good. took me a little bit to come up with the solution :steamhappy:
Leo 4.4.2018 klo 2.05 
I did that, but then didn't know how to activate the laser catcher in the last section, which is why I pulled off this trick
Mikeastro  [tekijä] 4.4.2018 klo 1.50 
@leomievs Most cunning! I do not think that that is something I can fix, though. The idea was that you keep the first laser around using portals, to activate both receivers
Leo 3.4.2018 klo 16.25 
Very very cool map! I like how the difficulty progressively increases. However I’m quite certain I solved it in a unintended way. Here’s what I did: to bypass the last fizzler I used only the laser right in front of it. From the situation shown here I threw the cube so that it activates the other laser catcher and at the second it activates, the fizzler deactivates for a very brief instant. I was able to shoot a portal through it at this instant, and then I got the sphere as shown here

@Bollen Thanks man, I'm glad you liked it :)
Bollen 19.3.2018 klo 17.52 
Wow! Amazing puzzle and it took me forever!!! The problem was of course that I couldn't stop thinking with portals!:steamfacepalm:
Mikeastro  [tekijä] 21.1.2018 klo 8.14 
Thanks KAKTUS :)

Tough laser puzzle! Thumbs up and favorited. :2015cookie:
Mikeastro  [tekijä] 3.1.2018 klo 7.28 
Thanks gannonhuiting! That is some dedication! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
d00pdon 3.1.2018 klo 7.00 
That was an amazing chamber. I gave up went to bed, woke up at 6 am with a brainwave and finally solved it. well done.
Mikeastro  [tekijä] 2.1.2018 klo 16.42 
Thanks for playing! I changed the description; it's not easy to ascertain the difficulty one's own puzzle, so I appreciate your feedback :)
Sotheros 2.1.2018 klo 16.37 
this map is very hard, not medium as in the description, I didn't solve it, but i'll do it :steammocking:
