Awesome map! Very interesting and challenging puzzles.
I encountered a problem, though. On the bonus area, the "lava reset" mechanism broke for the gold puzzle and I had to switch to creative to get it working again...I don't know why it broke, but I heard of lot of lava fizzling before it stopped working. I had to switch into creative to finish the puzzle/clear the items, and I got a notification warning me against being in creative mode...is that going to impede my ability to move forward?
That would really suck to get this far, have the puzzle break, and then not be able to advance...
Also, see the spoilers...
I'm completely puzzled on the bonus diamond puzzle...you can't make stuff bounce off of walls with enough momentum to do what you want to do...the gold puzzle was hard enough, but the diamond one is absolutely ridiculous. Is there some other hint out there, besides "good luck, keep trying for hours and hours until the item glitches into the right spot"? I don't see the point of "dumb luck" puzzles like this.
Hmm, that shouldn't be possible unless the lava somehow glitched through the floor and ruined the redstone... That would explain the fizzing... That stinks... Hmm...
I don't think it's possible for you to fix it. If you could send me your world save somehow I could fix it and send it back... That's probably the only way. Maybe pm it to me (or pm me your email so you could email it?).
About the spoiler:
Yes, there is a trick to get it. Here's a hint: certain angles have more momentum. I'm not sure why. It's just the physics engine I guess. But yes, that puzzle is one of the hardest. It took me about 30 tries, and I knew the solution.
This was a great map! I didn't do the bonus area (it was too hard) but even without it the map was still extraordinary. Also, traversing the sides of the cube was really awesome.
Just finished my LP. That was amazing!
I will try to get the video edited and uploaded before end of December (there are currently ~7 maps in queue before yours). http://www.youtube.com/rsmalec
Please let me know if you find any more issues. I always appreciate it. =)
I just scheduled my videos to start airing on December 21st.
We did find one issue with the second gold puzzle. Even though we had all 5 plates/lights on, it didn't trigger the completion. We had to spawn a block of redstone and manually trigger the completion.

Hmm, thanks for telling me...
I've looked over the puzzle and it's probably related to the issue of the lava glitching through the floor. It probably took out a couple pieces of redstone, just enough to break the puzzle. Did you hear any fizzing (well I guess I can just watch the video when it comes out)? If that was the problem, it would fortunately be fixed with the map update.
Review Summary
Mind-bending puzzler, wrapped around the 6 faces of a cube. Solve one layer's combination of maze-like layout and minipuzzles to go deeper. The visuals are deceptively simple, yet lovely, and the texture pack really accentuates the puzzles. The puzzles themselves are pretty mind-blowing. I particularly liked the proximity sensors. Challenge? This one definitely will put you through your paces with logic, navigation, and even bowling puzzles.

=D I'm glad to see you guys liked it so much! Thanks for the rating.
Did you just upload the unedited faithful 32x resource pack with invisible end portal frames?
There are a few other textures (for instance the hoodies and the pizza), but yes, most of the textures are from Vattic's Faithful resource pack (see the credits).
I personally really like how the first one (the survival one) turned out; it's quite big, and a bit challenging. I'm not totally happy with how the second one turned out. I'm not sure why; it's just not my favorite, but you can form your own opinion of course. =)

=D Yep. That's where I got some inspiration (see the credits).
I'm glad you guys like it!

I've just updated the map and have fixed some small issues.
Now it should be impossible to break the gold puzzle reset (Big thanks to PassionThinker for telling me about that!).
Please let me know if you find any more issues. I always appreciate it. =)

Putting the CENDENT back in transcendent!

I updated the map again (to v.1.2); I just fixed a few things that weren't perfect.

Hi john11114,
I haven't made any other maps like this.
I did make a survival map and a survival/adventure map a while ago (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1919223-giant-minecraft-survival-map/ and http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1964590-the-vagary-incident-adventuresurvival-map/), but they're totally different
I personally really like how the first one (the survival one) turned out; it's quite big, and a bit challenging. I'm not totally happy with how the second one turned out. I'm not sure why; it's just not my favorite, but you can form your own opinion of course. =)
Hope you enjoy the rest of it. =D
