A large, glitch free, problem free map with hard puzzles and great graphics? Is this for real? 'i usually like to provide criticism after i play a map but wow, there was nothing to criticize!

Tremendous mapping and head-dizzying puzzles, what else can you ask. Actually hard puzzles have occasionally me staring at the air for a second, I hear it's a sign of intelligence. I hope they publish this stuff in a future dlc.

this map is beyond me. took almost an hour on each chamber, but nether the less, excellently designed and fun.

I think you've got this map making thing down. Maybe move on to a new hobby. Cross-stitching?

[rlink0]

First map took a while. But all the puzzles pretty much came down to one thing, and as soon as you got that down, it was... Well, I can't say it was "easy," but it wasn't so bad. The others took me around ten minutes.
Nonetheless, great work. Good luck w/ contest.

5/5
Felt like an idiot after figuring it out, haha

Aside from the Portal 2 campaign itself, this is the most fun I've had with either Portal game. It's that good.

Awesome map. Once you fully understand the idea behind the first chamber the rest aren't so bad. Still have to think .. but great idea. Loved it.

[Kibate]

Agree with all the others, very fun map
back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, back.... i loved it XP though doing it for more than 3 chapters would break my patience XP

I enjoyed this one as well. Excellent detailing, very good puzzle design. Had some difficulty realizing there were other places I had to go, e.g. the area with the second cube in the last chamber, but I figured it out.

Great work!

Its a nice well made map 5/5, but I feel that the same concept for solving the puzzles was overused. After solving the first puzzle, it was simply a matter of reapplying the same mindset to all the other puzzles making the map as a whole, a walk in the park..

I personally wouldn't rank it as a hard map due to what I stated above.

Truely wonderful fun and a real brain teaser. I say this map is very well done, I love it, and I'm now 100% certain I'm beat. (Cry)

Looks good to me. And I'm hard to please . I love what you did in the first puzzle, too. I'm not sure if mine was the intended solution, but it involved having the reflectocube fall through a portal into the last room so that it would stop blocking the laser, allowing me to take the "companion" cube back over in the tractor beam and through to the same last room in the same portal the reflectocube fell in. Then I took the reflectocube back and aligned it with the laser relay through the portal...It seemed convoluted, but it was the only way my brain saw it could work. I'd love to know if this is what you planned.

Also, my hat is off to you for the beautiful ambiance. 5/5 [The whole map took me about 25 minutes, but it was relatively hard and subsequently fun solving.]

Very nice map! It was very satisfying solving it! I have a question though:

On the last two maps I finished them by using a method I'm not quite sure was the intended one. When entering a room a cube has opened with a button outside, it's possible to quickly grab the cube while entering the room. This could be used to skip (what I thought) could be the actual intended solution. If further instructions are required (that is, if this wasn't the intended solution), I may be able to post a video of how I solved them
