[Coop] Cage Fling

These 5 chambers range from easy to challenging. They require tricky timing and fast reflexes.

Getting progressively more difficult, the first tests prepare you in the concepts used to complete the final two chambers.

Requires shooting multiple sets of portals while flying through the air in sync with your coop partner.

Notes:
This maps destroyed theme maybe potentially be taxing on lower end computers. I am leaving the last puzzle un-detailed for the sake of giving you the most FPS possible. It will be hard enough without lag. Plus, im tired of working on this one :P

A solid group of puzzles, each building on the last, which makes for a enjoyable experience. While we couldn't quite finish the map, we noclipped to victory. Everything looks immaculate. I loved the physboxes you used for decayed panels, and I loved the transition between puzzles 3 and 4 - a nice break from the flinging action.

We had no trouble until we got to the last puzzle. We got the general idea, but every time we hit the #2 buttons, we couldn't put a portal underneath us - the glass panel zoomed back into place, preventing us from continuing the fling and (directly) killing us. At this point I consulted the video play-through; those players didn't seem to have any problems (although they mysteriously had an extra pair of buttons in the final room).

Wow, major bug in the final puzzle. I'll be posting an update very soon. I should have better checked this out :lol:

Also, I removed one of the buttons from the final puzzle, it was more of an annoyance anyways. You still have to solve it the same way. Though you can't with this bug.

Excellent map!

Too bad about the bug in the last puzzle. ^^

Update is uploading now. Sorry to anyone who dealt with the final level bug. It was some minor mistake I made. I shouldn't make small changes right before the final compile hah.

[Edit]
The bug for the final level is fixed. The solution for the final level is the same as the video. Only the original first button was unnecessary, just the fling was.

[Edit2] If you hit the first set of buttons more then once in your sequence you'll have to let the button reset complete otherwise the panel below the second set of buttons will come back and kill you too quickly. You can only hit the first set of buttons ONCE per attempt.

This map was freaking amazing! :D

I absolutely love how the puzzles get increasingly harder and prepare you for the final puzzle. The aesthetics are top-notch and can compete with Valve's own maps. The music adds a nice touch to the timing aspect of the puzzles, making it ever so satisfying when you actually complete it.

Spoiler
In the final puzzle, we didn't actually use the lowest of the two slanted platforms next to the cage. We would simply portal into the cage, place our portals inside the cage, jump through the lower portal and immediately shoot a portal to the right floor portal platform. It's not that much of a showstopper, since the real ninja trickery with the buttons is still there, but it's an easier way to start the run.

Conclusion: 5 out of 5, I'd love to see more maps from you! :thumbup:

Thank you for this awesome map! We had a lot of fun playing it.
I don't know what more to say, puzzles were great, design perfect, and very cool lighting anyway!

Wow

We played a version of this map which was kinda buggy in the last part, but I guess it's already fixed since you were aware of this issue and it's been a while.
Good map, enjoyable :)

Redunzl and I tried this one, playing with controllers. We got through all but the last room. Quick aiming with controllers just ain't happening, especially with our old, slow reflexes. Nonetheless, we enjoyed playing it up to that point. Since flinging is one of my favorite things to do in Portal, this was a lot of fun for me.

The looks were very well done, although we weren't exactly looking around for defects. We won't knock this for the difficulty, because we think all the fast-twitch kiddies should have their fun, too. Our one criticism is that this is a two-player map, but not really cooperative. Either one player is firing portals while the other goes for a ride, or they're both doing the same thing, simultaneously. That's fine with us, but we do like puzzles that require both players to do different things to make one solution. So just 4/5 from us.
