Coop map.

Me and a friends entry for the mapping contest. Due to starting out late with the map and issues with the map it didn't quite turn out as expected. Puzzles work but if you find any issues please tell me. The map still needs some work to make it look better.

I am quite certain it is a one man only entry... Your description implies that it is a map made by two people.

Good news and bad news. Good is that the "scene" and the interior chambers were done well. Mixed, in that I will concede that (for terrible that it was) the long distance fling* at the beginning was at least put in the correct context - the effectively sparse Old Aperture ruins.

Leaving aside the looks, the bad list would count the hard to follow navigation through the level: we spent time trying crazy stuff, because the general purpose appeared blurry. And I don't talk only about where to go next, but also "decoys" such as the meaningless gel in the 3rd chamber; the (smaller!) funnel button in that abnormal position; or the unnecessarily tortuous way out of the 3rd chamber; again the funnel not being aligned to the door, hence difficult to pass through. Playing became tentative, we weren't sure everything was working correctly around us.

*which can be skipped by directly portaling in the internal room.

I'm playing custom maps and record my first time of playing them. So the run is not perfect and may not use only intended ways, but maybe it can let you see how other people may understand the map or you could just enjoy someone playing this map for entertainment.
Anyways, here is the recording:
