There are two ratman dens and a mysterious observer, can you find them all?

Great map! I loved it. Detailing was spot on and the use of diversity vents was enjoyable to use. BTS areas were cool too! It was relaxing to play and chill to the sights and sounds.

I accidently got myself stuck in a loop in the second test where I put a portal under the diversity vent that was sucking in, and another portal on the panel where the vent ends. I ended up going in a circle. So thanks for putting in autosaves

No complaints, only that it should be longer- but for 5 days, that's brilliant work. :thumbup:

I really enjoyed this map! You rarely see tests that use diversity vents like that. I really love the broken aperture theme and it was done really well in this map. Great work!

Thanks for the feedback, it warms my heart

About the loop, you actually can exit it if you press one of the movement keys (W A S D). In portal 2 you can slightly change your flight path and try not to fall on the portal.

Excellent - looks great, I really love the Aperture announcer guy and excellent use of the diversity vents. Loved it.

Ok yes this was totally well made puzzles! A good introduction for the element - which is awesome, really need to know how you do those :lol: - quite easy but that's how an introduction level should be. Particularly liked the last chamber and how you move through tubes, it looked very neat! The map played well, looked good and I really hope to see more from this series and those vacuum tubes <Insert official name here> in the future. I need to scribble down some puzzle-ideas I got while playing this now, thanks for mapping! :thumbup:

Wholy wowsauce... the detail!
At first, I thought it was going to be another terrible Portal 1 remake, but the second I was through the door, I had a huge grin! I love how everthing is wide and open, with plenty of light surfaces, and areas purely for detail. The puzzle itsself was relatively relaxing and straightforward and I loved the use of vents to provide delays. Cheers
And oh yeah.. smooth jazz!

This is my playthrough of this map. In order to not influence the opinion of anyone, I won't say what I think about this map yet. Have fun watching the video and get your own opinion about the map for now
