@Heisenberg24071 And I am grateful for your comment! I can see the similarities with The Serpent's Pass yeah, amazing work solving this one!
@mark Thank you for the kind words! I'm also still quite fond of this puzzle :cozycrashfish:

Nice puzzle! I like the back-and-forth sequence of moves in the middle and how well it helps to achieve the major subgoal of the puzzle . And I like the rotationally symmetric design, but also the mirror symmetry for fizzlers, laser catchers, and connections. Favorited :steamthumbsup:

this is my first time writing a comment about one of your puzzles and i must say that i am grateful for your work, thanks for another great puzzle, i should mention that it seemed quite similar to "serpent pass"

@Mr Fab Thank you for sharing your journey once again! It took me a while to get to watching your video but I finally did it and it was very enjoyable! Great work solving it in the end :D

Oof ! This one took me two playthrough to beat, the layout was so simple and yet the logic was hard. Good puzzle :steamthumbsup: My 2nd playthrough : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQfwRzQE3-s

@amir.khodayan1377 Excellent work solving it :D I'm happy to hear that you liked it!

Man it was really hard! If it wasn't for the hint I could have been more stuck since I was thinking I'm not doing the right thing! The map was Incredible. Awesome!
Mikeastro  [author] 17 Mar, 2020 @ 12:26pm 
@amir.khodayan1377 Let's say I just got lucky to stumble upon the solution at that time :]
Master.AKA 17 Mar, 2020 @ 11:55am 
@Mikeastro Oh thanks. It's such a brilliant puzzle I guess. I love its simplicity in design. How did you managed not to give up trying things when you were bored at that time and actually find a solution? =)
Mikeastro  [author] 17 Mar, 2020 @ 6:19am 
@amir.khodayan1377 That is definitely progress. The key sequence in the puzzle is to try to use that to connect both laser areas with portals Once you've managed that, you will be quite close already!
Master.AKA 17 Mar, 2020 @ 6:06am 
I would like to ask for a hint. I can manage to get the two boxes in one of the corner squares at the same time. I'm sure it should be some how part of the solution. But Am I close to the end?
Mikeastro  [author] 1 Jan, 2020 @ 1:34pm 
@Nobody No-One Thanks - glad you liked it. I suppose that any map that you can solve in less than six months can indeed only be classified as easy
Nobody No-One 1 Jan, 2020 @ 1:27pm 
Fun easy map. Thumbs up.
Mikeastro  [author] 7 Nov, 2019 @ 12:50pm 
@Spacekitten97 Thanks man :] I'm glad you liked it. I'll check out your other two maps someday soon ^_^

After taking a short break from this game, this map was the first one I tried after coming back; I probably should have started with something easier first, as this map took me well over one and a half hours to solve. I definitely had a hard time figuring out the first few steps, as I wasnt sure where to begin. Anyways, very clever laser puzzle. Thumbs up and a favorite.
Mikeastro  [author] 4 Sep, 2019 @ 2:22pm 
@Spider_Dawg Ah, right - I see what you mean now :p Well done solving this one in the end! It's definitely tricky
Spider_Dawg 4 Sep, 2019 @ 1:41pm 
The children's game where the first goes past the second, then the second goes past the first, then the first goes past the second, etc. The puzzle felt like I was leapfrogging the cubes . I wrote that at about 1 am, after being unable to sleep for thinking about it and getting up to finish it. These statements are intended as compliments ;)
Mikeastro  [author] 4 Sep, 2019 @ 3:22am 
@Spider_Dawg hmm?
Spider_Dawg 3 Sep, 2019 @ 9:07pm 
Leapfrog
Silenius 10 Aug, 2019 @ 1:08pm 
Ah i see, this solution was like 5 times longer, so i don't wonder i didn't find it first. Good map!!!
Mikeastro  [author] 9 Aug, 2019 @ 3:42pm 
@empleat There is a solution to this puzzle with absolutely zero execution difficulty. I have no idea what your current ideas for the solution are, but in case you are interested, you could check with one of the playthroughs in the description to see the intended way
Nobody No-One 9 Aug, 2019 @ 3:36pm 
something tells me you are doing this completely unintended
Silenius 9 Aug, 2019 @ 3:32pm 
Fuck this map, i already had it but my cube vaporised when i tried to inch it forward ... And at the middle there is so little time to pass it and sometimes, it is not even possible, but even if you throw it from right distance interval is not same everytime ... I knew already how to do that, but it is so annoying and difficult, if i want hardcore mechanical game i go play cs go bunnyhopmap... Like it is not bad map, but annoying as hell to execute. You shouldn't make lowground at middle, i don't know if it has some reason, i don't see any. Because cube decelerates and than laser gets blocked. I like to finish map even if i know how to do that, because sometimes i am wrong so i want make sure i found right solution.

@asears16 I'm glad you liked it :) You battled your way through it very skilfully; excellent work :D Really interesting video! Thanks

Quite a tricky laser puzzle! It was very satisfying to solve, and I found it enjoyable. :)

Again, very nice puzzle! I think the same as @Leomievs, the beginning is damn hard. After that everything went well. Thanks god and satan that the map was not in P1 style this time.
Mikeastro  [author] 26 Jul, 2019 @ 7:25am 
@Leomievs Thanks for playing :] Indeed, these kinds of maps give the player very few clues for how to solve them. Also, I believe the correct term for the music is puzzly-esque-like-ish
Leo 26 Jul, 2019 @ 6:47am 
Phew, I really find these symmetrical maps to be quite challenging. It's hard to tell how to begin and when you're making progress. But in the end, it was clever as always! Also, I understand why you like the music. It sounds very puzzly, if that's even a word.
Psychological Atom 16 Jul, 2019 @ 8:13pm 
@Mikeastro Okay. :)
Mikeastro  [author] 15 Jul, 2019 @ 2:36am 
@Atom Ooh sounds complicated.. Well if you would want me to take a look at it, I'd gladly do so :p
Psychological Atom 14 Jul, 2019 @ 9:20pm 
@Mikeastro I have been working on a map with lasers and three cubes, but I feel like that I dpn't like the intended solution I made. :)
Mikeastro  [author] 14 Jul, 2019 @ 12:27am 
@Atom Thank you! Well done solving it. And I would still be down for another collab :)
Psychological Atom 13 Jul, 2019 @ 10:40pm 
Very awesome laser map indeed! Looks like you're getting better at lasers than I am. I really miss our collaboration a while ago. :)
Mikeastro  [author] 13 Jul, 2019 @ 2:44am 
@可砸的六度双音 Yep, completely intended! Excellent work :) Glad you liked it
可砸 12 Jul, 2019 @ 6:39pm 
aha I got it:fod2PB:
the final step was really satisfying.thanks for creating!pretty like that panel

可砸 12 Jul, 2019 @ 5:12pm 
okayyy,I'll play again next time:FluffyLook::happymeat:
Mikeastro  [author] 12 Jul, 2019 @ 12:04pm 
@可砸的六度双音 You are getting close to the intended way, but indeed 2:19 is a bit cheating :P There isn't really anything I can do to prevent that, so I'll just hope the players refrain from doing that :p
可砸 12 Jul, 2019 @ 9:28am 
@Joric hahah yes you are right:happymeat:I just want to have a try.……:lunar2019crylaughingpig:
Joric 12 Jul, 2019 @ 9:18am 
@可砸的六度双音 2:19 is clearly cheating, why would you do that?
可砸 12 Jul, 2019 @ 8:29am 
I thought it was close to the intended,but I did the same thing as last time:lunar2019laughingpig::lunar2019laughingpig:dont blame me:lunar2019piginablanket:

Mikeastro  [author] 11 Jul, 2019 @ 2:29am 
@Reika I didn't :p As the title suggests, this puzzle is simply symmetric
Reika 10 Jul, 2019 @ 6:52pm 
I was of the impression you were a BEEMod mapper; how did you get world portals?
Joric 10 Jul, 2019 @ 8:35am 
@Nobody No-One anything less than 60 fps, please just don't.
Nobody No-One 10 Jul, 2019 @ 4:48am 
3:20, eh? Haven't solved it yet but I'll try to get under 2 minutes when I do
Mikeastro  [author] 10 Jul, 2019 @ 2:58am 
@Joric Thanks a lot for the video! I hope you liked the puzzle. But about people challenging each other to make short playthroughs... Ah shit, here we go again
Permatemp 10 Jul, 2019 @ 1:34am 
@Joric I see you challenge me. I accept it.
Joric 10 Jul, 2019 @ 12:01am 
My playthrough is better than Permatemp's (and much shorter) https://youtu.be/KfzSKOL8eKo
Mikeastro  [author] 9 Jul, 2019 @ 10:39pm 
@jandlml Excellent work solving it! I'm happy to hear that you liked it :D
jandlml 9 Jul, 2019 @ 7:50pm

jandlml 9 Jul, 2019 @ 7:41pm
