Acquire the cubes necessary to complete the final puzzle and finish the chamber.

I made a blindrun demo of my playthrough for you:

There's a lot of potential in this map, but I can't say I really loved it overall. Like many PTI maps, it suffers from being far too big and having far too much black wall space. The laser receiver in the big room is difficult to see at first, too, which kind of irritated me. A great puzzle makes the player think 'how the hell am I supposed to do that?' as opposed to 'what the hell am I supposed to do?', which is what I was thinking before I saw it... I also thought the timing on the final button was a little strict, though I really liked the fling itself.

I agree with El Farmerino. It is too big which makes it confusing and all the black surfaces mean a lot of walking. I also didn't spot the laser catcher first and thought I was suposed to cube stack to the button (which works, too).

Unfortunately, getting the first single cube isn't a puzzle but just pressing those buttons. It doesn't really add anything, there could just be the dropper. Getting the laser cube and the second normal cube was nice again. The final step took me a good while because I didn't realize I could see the necessary white surface from the faithplate.
