New Level -- Redefining Reflection III
New Level -- Redefining Reflection III
This started small and simple and ended up a beast.
Mind you, there are two puzzles in this whole level that do not involve reflection or setting up for a reflection... but they're really easy, almost the whole level is all about reflection... and unlike the other two "Redefining Reflection" levels, this one is a full-sized puzzle.
Try and see if you can redefine the art of reflecting... twice in this level.
EDIT: For the first 17 downloaders -- I apologize for the major oversight that made the second reflector puzzle mostly useless. Please download version "B" which has an extra 3-step bridge tile. The old version is purely for historical purposes.
It might be still possible to use the glitch move in a different spot -- but in that spot the timing would be so inhumane that anyone who actually manages to do so in version "B" deserves the win.

Rest in peace, Kym. I hardly knew ya.
Rest in peace, Marinus. A bright star, you were ahead of me on my own tracks of thought. I miss you.

OK, so Amnon's solution is using a small glitch move with a reflector that renders the second reflector puzzle totally useless. Thankfully, version B should be easy to make. (The glitch, if you're curious, is to push a reflector right after the fireball hits it, and if you time it correctly, the pushed reflector will "catch" the shot again and reflect it once more.)
In the meantime, please try to solve it without this little glitch move.
EDIT: Version B is up. Amnon and everybody else who solved this and felt the second reflector puzzle was too easy -- please try the level again, you can't use the glitch move anymore, there is no space to do so. Version B has an additional 3-step bridge tile.

I thought you have to cross over the last time to turn the final box around, but now I see how to do it your way. Indeed, the final step on the 3-step bridge is unnecessary. I wish I found that on my own during testing the original -- it would make such a nice little puzzle, but alas...
Congratulations for improving on the intended way!

Quoted For Truth. It's the puzzle that the design process started with, BTW.Amnon wrote:The answer is YES, Marinus.
Think about the teleporters. They're there for a reason.

Hi, I think this is actually the main-trick of the second reflector puzzle, so

Both reflectors should be pushed through that TP, in one very fast movement:
Push the top-right reflector left into the TP, go over the conveyor and then push the top-left one right into that TP (to the south-east corner)
Yes, it is the main trick there. I couldn't come up with something quite as complicated as the first one, so I just made it really hard to get the objects in the right places. There's also a lot of... stuff, really, which makes it harder to find out what the right places even are.
