Description
Allow me to walk you through my day today.
Bored as I was, I made a 3x3 grid in the editor and filled it with fizzlers and receivers, two lasers and two cubes.
I didn't yet know what the exit requirement would become, but I fooled around a bit and started removing white surfaces to see if I could still connect the entrance and exit areas.
At some point, I removed all but the white surfaces currently present in the map and after a lot of thought, I still managed to do it, but just barely.
I removed two of the sectors and so Mirror Symmetry's little sister was born - just like that.
It should be a fairly tricky pure laser puzzle, born in a single day. Lucky me.
Oh and I like this music track a lot. I'm quite proud of it.

Neither carrying nor yanking cubes through fizzlers is intended or allowed, as well as balancing cubes on the edge of a portal.
No tight timing is required - if your solution seems hard to execute, you're not doing it right.
Difficulty: 6/10.

Of course I won't copystrike you for the music if you record your run :p

@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

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!

@amir.khodayan1377 Let's say I just got lucky to stumble upon the solution at that time :]

@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? =)

@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!
