@cnh2r
Won't deny that. Thank you!
@cnh2r
Shoot, sorry to hear it. Weird that it didn't work for you at all :(
@mentallentil
I'm still very proud of this one, happy you enjoyed it as well!

very nice laser logic, i really like how both cubes and the player use the faith plate :) definite favourite

For some reason i could not get THAT ONE MOVE to work for the life of me. Daresay it ruined the whole experience :( It was a cool concept tho.

Loved this level. Very difficult.

@SpielSatzFail
Thank you so much for the high praise, and congrats for solving this tricky puzzle! This map is definitely one of my best accomplishments and it's honestly surprising that I managed to reach such a result with my first monoportal map xD
Indeed I figured the knockout move would be too tedious to make work if the player had to find the exact place where to put the cube, so the floor hint felt vital to me. Fun fact: that maneuver wasn't originally planned, it occurred to me as a necessity in the design process. The core move of the map was supposed to be the way you have to point the second laser at the relay to avoid the weighted cube from respawning , but I guess the knockout kind of stole the show!

2/2

Conclusion: a huge thumbs up and an instant favourite!

Whining on a high level: the visibility of the key move could be better. Just because of the target sign and since a former experiment was showing that a cube had reached the other side pretty fast I could assume it was such a flat curve which could come in handy. Btw I used a lot of F6/F7 over the whole course, which included testing the faith plate myself in order to confirm this.

1/2

I'm out of words, what a masterpiece! So many hidden and creative moves. I'd definitely rate the map a 7/10 because of this.
What can I say... I had a rough start as usual, then I tried a lot of things but none of them would work until I finally saw (how) I'm supposed to save the weighted cube. I'm so thankful for the floor hints , though I was thinking they were only hinting at blocking the laser ;-) ...anyway, I made some progress and was able to set up the key move. Luckily it occured to me fairly quickly - a shallow trajectory is always suspicious :-P plus knowing about an "unorthodox move that works in 8-9 out of 10 times" helped
The intertwining moves that came afterwards ( portal/laser management & cube sacrifices ) were so enjoyable! My jaw kept dropping more and more :D
Exiting the chamber felt massively rewarding, after all the pain I was going through ;-)

@Eric Northman
Thank you for playing, and for the big compliment! Well done to you for solving it, the map is quite tricky!

best map that i played so far

@HXP233
Your cube throw skipped a nice move, but hey, well done solving it still!

@Mr Fab
Thanks, it was fun to watch your solving process live!

An awesome monoportal puzzle ! The moves were nice and creative and the design of the map was beautiful ! Although I struggled a lot at one point, I still enjoyed it Favorited !

@Laudanum
Thanks a lot for playing and for the nice words! This puzzle isn't easy by any feast, and I'm happy you felt satisfaction upon solving it. And yep, indeed there's a hidden contraption to prevent the floating laser cube glitch, as it was messing up with the move where you need to bump the laser cube out of the way by flinging the other cube with the faith plate, due to the glitch the laser cube just stayed still.

i like that after you acquire both cubes and fly around the map to think about the final move, it becomes obvious how do you need to arrange the cubes, and then you think through how to bring them to that room im to lazy to explain which, and that is just a matter of time and curiosity

well, this map was definitely the one that i wanted to play for a long time. quite hard, but i managed to pull it through, leaving a nice satisfaction feeling after i finished. only disturbing thing was the redirection cube shaking while on the ground and messing up the the laser aimed to somewhere far enough. im sure this is thing was done to prevent floating redirection cube, but still. overall, i enjoyed this map very much :)

@Nobody No-One
Thanks a lot! This map can be really tricky, well done solving it. Your favorite move is indeed the core move, the idea that compelled me to make the map, the faith plate one being a neat step that came along in the middle of the designing process. Really glad you enjoyed it!

Really nice puzzle. It's been in my queue for months - whenever I first tried it, I couldn't even figure out how to get the second cube. The faith plate move was very cool, but my favorite move was setting up the laser cube to redirect the laser into the relay. That needed some cool planning ahead, and the colored floor tiles were a nice hint. Thumbs up and favorited.

@Aneonen
Again, sorry for not responding earlier! You are perfectly right about the peculiar faithplate trajectory, that's why being observant is particularly important! I'm also glad you liked the design.
@Requiemsoul
Ah, that's quite unfortunate. I wonder if it's really related to your PC or if you got really unlucky (because the move isn't 100% consistent). Either way sorry for the inconvenience, I'm happy that you still enjoyed my other maps, and thanks a lot for following!

I played some maps of your collection of best levels. My favorites ones are Slippery and Reversal. Crossroads is another awesome puzzle but I can't hit the reflector cube with the standard cube using the triple faith plate. It doesn't work on my PC . Anyway, every map was very smart and you have gained a new follower.

Oh, I almost forgot to mention that the large patterns on the walls are very nice.

Excellent puzzle! I was wondering why that faith plate trajectory was so shallow and fierce. I particularly enjoyed the sequence of moving the storage cube to the faith plate button , since it's very possible to reach that area while also losing the cube you need. The second orange portal preservations were also quite cool. (Unfortunately the chamber began to act a bit buggy for me, as the laser would not always update itself through the second orange portal after that portal opened, causing the two portals to flash back and forth for a few seconds before settling.) Really nice work.

@bullfrog
Thank you! As it's sometimes the case, this one turned out better than I had originally planned. I'm glad you enjoyed re-playing it!

This still took me some time (even though I remembered 'that move') the second time around, but not two, or more, days this time! Brilliant puzzle; it definitely remains well up there in my list of favourites and I've still not seen anything quite like it since.

@Oblivious Owl
Hey, thanks for stopping by, I'm happy you enjoyed this one! I should play your maps too when I get back to P2, I know from a lot of people that they're very good as well :)

Hi! I just got around to trying another one of your maps. I really liked the main move, though it took me quite a long time to see it. :)

@•‹†ρđ› ĐūšР2ķ•
Thanks a lot for stopping by!

Gorgeous map!

@Spider_Dawg
This particular move is indeed key, and quite tricky to see. Still thanks for playing and for the nice words!

Great puzzle, I have to admit it beat me. I simply never thought of protecting the weighted cube , and as a result every scenario lead to dead ends. Well done.

@Senator Brainstrong
Wow I'm extremely happy to hear you played and liked all my maps! Even though some of them were made when I was still rather unexperienced and admittedly lack some elegance, as a whole I'm pretty proud of my workshop. Going through all these chambers must have been quite the journey, especially as some of them are quite hard indeed. I didn't realize you made maps as well, I may check them out some day :)
I'm also pleased to hear you enjoyed this one. I don't blame you for cube tossing either, as you said it wasn't helpful anyway and you didn't skip any step. I can understand your brain was tired if you solved all my previous maps just in a matter of days. You deserve some appraisal as well for completing such a marathon! Once more, thanks a lot for showing such interest and enthusiasm for my creations, I really appreciate it :D

As for this map, I managed to find the ending sequence almost immediately, but I got stuck in the middle part for way too long. I started feeling overwhelmed, fearing I'll have a harder time with this map than with Pandemonium. I managed to find the unorthodox move after some time, but then I astronomically overcomplicated one simple part before it. I gave up and cheated a little via cube-tossing. I felt guilty even though in the end it skipped nothing, but the fatigue from finishing all your previous maps recently was immense, so I forgave myself. I checked the intended solution afterwards and had a good laugh :D

My nonsensical solution: https://youtu.be/oY-vpgboR00
Sorry for the long comment. You deserve some appraisal!

I've finally solved every map in your workshop without a single hint. I must say, your workshop was the hardest one I have ever finished and not only that; it's also the best by far! I liked every single map. Your maps have an avant-garde feeling, and the solutions are very clever and unique. Believe it or not, my favourite map was Hive with Pandemonium being a close second. I also really liked Reversal and Borealis for one rather unusual technique I don't get to see often. Going through your workshop was an enjoyable and intense week-long journey. You are my favourite mapper now :) I'll take inspiration from your maps for my future maps. I'd love to create some 11/10 difficulty eldritch horror!

@Narkodes
Thanks for this comment, took me 1.9 second to read

;]

nice map took me 19 minutes to solve

@Spacekitty
Well done solving this tough puzzle! I guess I was a bit afraid people may find this particular creative move a bit unelegant, but most people liked it so it's nice. Thanks a lot for playing and for the fav!
@Libbybapa
I'm curious as well, even though after questioning myself due to Bivalvan's comment I'm still pretty sure there's no trapping situation possible.

Bivalvan, I am curious what trap believe you found. I don't believe there is any possibility of trapping oneself anywhere in this map.

I'm terrible at laser and monoportal puzzles. What could possibly go wrong? Well, I did indeed get stuck on the middle section for a VERY long time. Finally figuring it out was very satisfying. Tons of reuses and that part which you described as "unorthodox" turned out to be my favorite move ;) Truly an excellent puzzle which makes great use of only few portal surfaces and connections. It's a favorite of course :)

10 out of 10!!! Excellent puzzle. But there is still a trap. I will post a video about how I got into it ...

@Bivalvan
You're absolutely right that this chamber is quite tricky, but everything is logical so it's not a shortcoming in my opinion. Here's a video of the intended solution (posted by Joric in the comments): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wyvdotaA4w
Also there is no way to get trapped in this map, you probably overlooked something. Still thank you for stopping by!

Dude, you can put a video tutorial on this test chamber. And then this is too complicated a test chamber, which I can not pass! By the way, I drove myself into a trap with a cube of refraction ...

The way I work out puzzles now is try with every possible combination, then eliminate the ones I don't need.

Okay

@jandlml
Excellent! Great work solving it! Thank you for playing and for the fav :D
@Joric @lapicidas
I'm pretty sure klaus wasn't trying to show off or anything. Also, I understood Joric's first comment on Pandemonium as a joke, not an insult. Of course you're free to talk it over in private messages, but please let's not flood this comment section any further. Thank you!

Why so serious. Fleetingness #3: Pandemonium was a 8/10 map. https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2022239784

Took only 30 minutes for @klaus.sfc01 so he's like literally 100 times smarter. I'm too dumb to think of another reason.

most excellent.! took me 2 nights of laying in bed going over everything i did over and over trying to come up with something i hadnt tried. i finally did and i made it out. i never even looked at the hints i asked for,so im real happy!! definitely a fave!!

@Teo
Thank you for the nice comment, yeah I think the floor hints were necessary so that the player doesn't spend a tedious amount of time trying to get the cube placement just right for *that* move. Happy you enjoyed it!
@jandlml
To begin with, getting both cubes to the upper area behind the laser field is a good goal. Achieving it requires a couple of creative moves which are probably the hardest to see in the map. Your setup in your screenshot isn't exactly right, namely because when you take that cube off the weighted button, the standard cube will respawn and that's no good. How could you avoid that? Feel free to ask for more hints if need be :)
@Atom
Well thank you very much, it means a lot from the king of laser puzzles :D
@lapicidas
Thanks! Glad you liked the map and that unusual move!

A very clever puzzle paired with an unusual physical trick .
Thumbs up and favors
