The Cube

Description
Will you get out of the cube?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to my creation!
This one is hard to solve, but not hardcore. You're in the Cube, and you have to get out or you will die in there.
No tricky jump is required, but this is a pretty challenging puzzle overall :)

Difficulty rating: ~4.5/5
No permanent death unless you stand in front of a laser.

[HINT]: There are 2 different ways to solve the last part, which can only be solved with a certain number of reflective cubes.

I tried this map again after the improvement of laser calculation in portal 2.
Its a tough nut.

@Eternal yeah I figured that was the intention. I think I'll end up giving it another go in a day or two. I just got done playing a couple not so great ones before this. Though I think in future maps it's good to have better direction with clear progress to the goal because some "hard" ones I've seen are only hard because the solution is essentially a "read my mind" philosphy.

@theOfficePortal it's a different kind of puzzle from the maps you can find in the workshop: the fact that "it really isn't clear what you are supposed to do" is intended and is part of the puzzle :)
it's also supposed to be really hard to solve, and "in a smaller setting with a clearer idea of what activates what", it wouldn't be!

I think my main issue is that it really isn't clear what you are supposed to do and the blue lines all over the place make it frustrating to see what everything activates. I think a good map involves making steady process and not sitting around attempting to figure out where everything goes. I bet the same "comcept" in this map can be done in a smaller setting with a clearer idea of what activates what.

@Timoteeei: it's still smooth on my middle range laptop, what hardware do you have?

ps: I added a little hint in the description

sorry, i mean that lasers reduce the number of fps
Eterz  [author] May 22, 2012 @ 7:14am 
Nope, it's not just about that, there are different kinds of mini-puzzles in this one. Don't be fooled by the number of lasers, it's part of the puzzle too! =D
Timoteeei May 22, 2012 @ 7:11am 
Due to the large number of laser level a little retarding = __ =

Map is not challenging just "guessing what this button should to do?" game, It is not interesting, only frustrating =(

Well you're not too far from the "proper method" then, I consider it solved =) Don't forget to rate it!
