Don't Eat the Paint

Hmm, this was a great map overall, but i have three fixes:
i) There is an alternate solution for the first test:

ii) I accidentally died after

re-retreiving the portal gun
and i re-spwned without it...i was forced to re-start the level.
iii) The back panel where the crushers are needs to be more visible (i only noticed it by accident.)
Great map tho, good job. I dont think this will be disqualified, but the rules state that you can only have one map theme, so it is a possibility.

oh, ok.

Does it work now?

Yes, perfect

Also the bugged and shortcuts were nicely fixed.(ironic, i apparently love playing your map, i played it for like 5 or 6 times now heh)

To be honest, I found this first before whatever the intended solution was (presuming this wasn't it), though I imagine it isn't too important, as it is only a teaser in the beginning.

just rushed to the other side of the crushers to check out the scenery--upon seeing nothing was there (except the portal wall), I turned around and spotted the upper surface..

For this map I'm sorta inbetween. It is a good map but a little too easy. You might need more for a challenge. :-|

First guy tells the second guy, "My head hurts!" The second guy replied, "Stop thinking so much!" Then the first guy says, "I think that what caused my problem in the first place!" The second guy says, "Then stop banging you head against the wall!"

In the version of the map I downloaded just now (it says 1.4), the fling exploit is still very much present. I don't know if this is because of a download problem, or because the map was changed in a subtle way that didn't quite fix the problem.

Spoiler
It seems the distance of the floor panel or the height of the hanging panel might have been adjusted, but by simply flinging at a lower speed, the player can make it through.

If I am correct, I have a suggestion:

Oh, and I noticed

the standing button by the propulsion gel vent is "modern Aperture" style, not the "retro Aperture" style.

Here is a video of my playthrough.

You will see a problem with the cube button & the fling jump.

Video freezes & starts lagging, for some reason, at 7 minutes for like 10 seconds.

few things I do are kind of embarrasing but its okay. :d

Nice, but you solved the first paint puzzle the wrong way. ;)

That thing with the cube button kinda sucked :(

Really? Have you tried it? Cause I sure cant solve the puzzle that way.

About the button. Thank you so much! I totally didn't notice that.

Great map! it was really fun and original for me

This was the first time I have tried this map. Great work! It seemed well-polished, original, and fun, even if it wasn't very difficult.

If the screenshot I posted is from the latest version, then yes. I have performed the exploit several times.
