Old Mike is something special.

I'm finally working through your workshop and there seems to be some confusion about this map. Here is the solution video to anyone in the future https://youtu.be/a44jyu5JsOo

Fun

@Spider_Dawg Yeah this map is pretty broken, and it has a trapping situation also. I might delete this one some day soon. Thanks for playing though :]

I came up with the same solution that @bullfrog posted, never used the button that disables that first death laser barrier thingy so it didn't seem intended, but maybe at that time you just overlooked that it wasn't really needed. Fun to play as always.
Oh, BTW, I know these are old posts but "Formatting help" while typing shows how to do spoilers, etc.

Thx for the reminder.

@tapmage Well done solving this one! It is indeed a bit hard to see that connection right away because of the distance betweem them. Oh and spoilers tags are done by [ spoiler ] text [/] without the spaces between the brackets and the word spoiler :)

Got to the door and thought I solved it and figured this was 3/10 diffiult, but then I realized I needed the first cube, then I realized the relationship between the beam and receiver (I forgot how to do brackets to hide spoilers so have to be general there). Anyway I eventually solved it and realized that yup it was 5/10 difficult.

:D

@bullfrog Thanks; seems like a valid solution to me :) To be honest I don't know from the top of my head what I had intended back then

Yep, liked that, but not sure if I did it as intended; spoiler video of intended set up and end move ?

ive seen the progression of your maps. very nice . got to start somewhere right?

@jandlml I'm glad you liked it :) I was indeed aware of the trapping situation since a friend of mine told me about it recently, but I haven't got to changing it yet; sorry about that. Back when this map was published I didn't care too much about these kinds of things yet :P

that took some thought. at first i got all the way to the dor and realized i needed that first cube to stay on the button. so the n i just put the last cube on the laser button so it faced forward and didnt disturb the beam, i thought i could respawn it but while respawning it blocked the beam and respawned the cube. so i was stuck in the exit room. i had to go back and do everything all over again. then i was like well what can it be if that doesnt work. the n it was oh ok got it. im really enjoying your maps . i still have a few to go.

@dvdbillen Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed playing :)

Actually I was on a fairly wrong track, but finally got it. It would have been disappointing if it was a hacky ninja trick like I thought, but it wasn't. It was clever and fun!

Thanks for the help.

@dvdbillen You're thinking in the right direction, but I think what you are trying to do is very hard to pull off; it is actually relatively easy to divert a laser without interruption if you just crawl over the floor holding your cube, away from buttons ; maybe you can change your solution to something that only involves doing this (though admittedly, the solution to this one is less elegant than most of my other maps, as it's pretty old)

I can't decide if I've found the solution but can't make it work, or what I'm trying doesn't work and I need another solution. It seems I need to drop a laser cube in the holder very quickly so that it passes along the beam without disrupting it .

Ah! Interesting... I'll have to play it again!

@Bollen Thanks for playing and letting me know of this solution. I'll change it soon so that your idea no longer works :P The solution to this one involves some careful aiming, if I recall correctly

The solution for this one seem quite naughty... Either I found another solution or the trick to return is just to mislead? I solved it by standing between the 1st barrier and the laser screen and then used portals to put the first cube in the X position, is this correct?
