Nice little map. Kept me thinking for a couple of minutes but it wasn't that hard. I'd say it is medium difficulty. Thanks for creating!

Heh, well, I'm not even able to figure it out. Too difficult for my simple brain.

Here is my blindrun of a pre-release version of the map (I playtested it). The gameplay hasn't changed from what I can see, so this should still do it:

Good start to mapping. I personally did not find it difficult, it was so short everything seemed to fit together at once. Don't take that as bad thing. There's something about these bite-sized puzzles that causes them to flow well, though I prefer more of them put together with growing difficulty.

Your cube-switch was slightly floating, so you could put a portal under it. The map doesn't look bad in any way, but more texture variation helps give a professional look.
Oh, and thanks for using placement-helpers, though perhaps they should be in a more visible spot.

Nice, fun little map. You might want to move the floor button back away from the grate or place it higher. I was able to put the cube on the edge of the portal on the floor in the laser emitter room, move the other portal inside the button box, and jump up and pull the cube onto the button. Other than that, it was a brain-teaser for sure.

Great map! Although it wasn't particularly hard. What I liked about it was that it used two new puzzle elements I haven't seen elsewhere, and you did so in an elegant fashion.

Also, this map looks really good, too. 5/5 from me, and added to my favorites.

It took some time to find out that i can grab the box through the fence. Is this the intended solution?

I'm fairly certain you're supposed to place two portals on the ground (one in the laser room and one in the first room) and then oscillate the box through them, shooting a portal above the button while the box is on the laser-room side of the portal pair, so that it falls out and onto the button. But that was an interesting method.

Holy Fuck, no it isn't, i need to change that, you need to make the box float up and down between 2 floor portals then switch one to the button, so the cube falls on it

Hehe, I also solved it the way cathixx showed.
But I think that's also an interesting solution ^_^
Nice clean theme, dynamic fizzlers, interesting puzzle. A bit short but still well worth a 5/5, excellent.
Looking forward to your new maps

I fixed it so feel free to try it again if you want.

Pretty interesting puzzle. Simple but complex. Here is my take on the cube thing.

That is a very interesting strategy
I think it can be used to break multiple maps oO

Speedrun of V3. Wish I'd read the thread beforehand, I might redo this lol.
