A new build is up with the first laser rooms and the playable Lab boss fight.

Lasers are now a new environmental hazard in the world of Situation Normal.
Most Lab rooms use static lasers that activate briefly when the player enters their sector, forcing quick timing and movement.

The boss room takes this further by moving laser beams and escalating attack patterns.
