...never knew that, Remmiz, and thanks for clearing that up.
Also I am GLaD that this is not my map's fault Embarassed

well i finally got around to playing this. really liked it. but as the others have pretty much already said i didn't like seeing "portal-able" textures that i couldn't portal onto. you said they were different textures. but to similiar to the retail "portal-able" textures that i didn't like it aside from that it was really cool

i ESPECIALLY liked the puzzle where you have to grab the cube through the glass, before the platform knocks it off, and walk it around to the hole and drop it in very clever and new puzzle concept without having to invent/create anything new. (as in new programming or such) i could see a puzzle like this being used in multiple ways, maybe having to traverse the cube over a longer distance, possibly under fire; or move it between moving platforms and such. many possibilities here

only thing that had me a little stumped at first was that i got all the way up that upward tunnel, and had the three switches (with the angled platforms you use to bounce the energy ball i was trying to find a way to get it to bounce without cubes. because we had to go so "far" without the cubes that i forgot i had them down there. but ultimately i went back and got them

Nice map! Looks nice, plays pretty nicely.
If I were to mention a couple of specific things, it would be these:
1) Kind of weird layout of maps. Didn't seem very Aperturey at some parts, e.g. the sewage floor area where you have to use a cube (or two?) as steps...not much room and kind of weird glass placement
2) No texture at bottom of the pit above fizzler.
That's about it though. You had some interesting puzzles!

A great map, with fun and unique puzzles. I especially liked the part where you have to solve multiple puzzles with the three companion cubes... Wink

It took a while for me to realize how you're supposed to get the second cube in the first chamber (from the tilting platform). It's not entirely obvious that you can carry the cube through the gap in the wall... Razz

But anyway, a very good and polished map.

I agree with the_grim, i liked the tower of cubes part.

I played this now third time, and now it feels like much better than first time. Every time better.. Actually this is now one of my top favorite maps Wink

This is a great map. Did anyone else notice the G-man shadowing you through the map? Shocked
