I'm going through all of the maps that I played for the contest and post my rating and comments.
It may be a bit out of date if you have updated your map since then, but hopefully it's useful feedback nonetheless.

Very nice reconstructing theme. There's plenty of debris strewn around, ceiling panels falling down, things like that. One thing that especially stood out to me, was the use of clean textures in some places. Just like the place was actually in progress of being rebuilt.

I like the Al Johnson character. The voice acting is not bad for what I assume is a non-professional voice actor, and the lines fit well with the rest of the Portal story. The only minor criticism I have, is that his opening speech was a little bit too long. I wanna get on with the puzzle!

Gameplay / Difficulty: 5;5
Speaking of which, the puzzle is very enjoyable. It's not too hard, but it requires some planning ahead. Also, requiring the vertical bridge to be used in two ways (one traditional and one new) is a smart move. It makes the cube-deflection trick less obvious.

Both in terms of design and gameplay, this is one of the better ones in this contest IMO. Go get your 60 bucks!

Personal score: 5


Love to hear more of Al Johnson! :)

I liked this, despite I dislike timed puzzles. It was pretty easy once you get your head around it...
