The last part was a little too hard with the instant death turret, aside for that really fun

Oh right, and the beginning with the glas could have been hinted at, i was trying for several minutes until accidently did the right thing

Nice map, good visuals and length, puzzles are good as well. I think I didn't use the intended solution in the last chamber.

I assume you are supposed to use the two buttons to elevate the turret and then kill it with the laser,
I did it this way:

Excellent work on the rooms, much lively with that brilliant start: if the best submissions use the decayed style, there must be a reason!

Puzzles have an element of arbitrary in them, which might be left unappreciated by one time players. You can shorten the first without visiting the tower, and can go either offensive (

Spoiler
move up turret and use laser, or viceversa
) or defensive (
Spoiler
steal the ball using the bridge as shield, then approach from right and put it on the target
) with the turret.

I myself have found out because I always systematically try to break puzzles.

the hills are alive... with the sound of music

Great map.

I made an account here just to comment on it.

Spoiler
In the last room you can jump from the 3rd platform onto the top of the glass box, (with the turret). Position the bridge on ceiling so it the ball bounces to you. Drop the ball into the slot. Reposition the bridge so it blocks the fire of the turret. Jump down and get behind the bridge and exit. Something to think about.

Edit: I see that the above poster noted the same thing.

well made map! I found a glitch tho: http://www.sendspace.com/file/3ccuwe
good fun to play :)

glAd to you guys liked it. Regarding the third puzzle, I almost like the way people make use of the glass box to evade the turret. Thanks for your guys' input anyways.

Oh, thanks for pointing that out, will be adding a player clip.

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:

I got way outside the map through the room with all the cubes.

Overall, I found both the visuals and the puzzle messy. Just 3/5 from me.
