[SP] Aperture Aquatic Testing Center

Page 1 of 4Next

A nice and somewhat long map with 3 puzzle rooms in it. Water doesn't kill you in this map, unless you stay under for too long. Each room is a little bigger and more difficult than the last room. Auto-saves trigger are included. Let me know if something weird happens. There are 3 Easter Eggs in this map.

Edit: I'm amazed at how so many people downloaded and rated this map. I will start making more underwater levels with a little more complex puzzles, but easy enough for anyone to solve. Thank you everyone for your feedback and ideas.

This map reminds me of The Cold Shoulder single player map - very unique and interesting concept with really easy puzzles.

I would really like to see you (or others for that matter) use the underwater theme and incorperate more challenging puzzles. A good map to introduce the concept though, well done.

One thing I would mention is that when underwater, if you're looking up at the surface, it's just all brown or black:

Yeah, that's where I got the idea from. I know the bottom water texture is off, but I couldn't get any better clear water textures.

That's not all, read at your own risk of being spoiled.

The cube says something different stuff randomly and turrets will also say something after being saved. GLaDOS will say something if you kill yourself with the laser wall.

I really enjoyed this map. I actually felt the weight of the water as I was walking thru it. Puzzles were fairly easy but fun. Please expand on this element in a coop map -
keep up the good work.

I'd like to, but robots can't swim, sorry. :lol: Seriously, robot have a spazzing animation when in water.
Edit: A 5/5 vote!

As the cube sometimes says it in my map, "Hooray!"

Great map using water. However, I thought that the portalgun was not compatible with water? guess not. Would like to see more maps using some of the new effects. Thanks for creating.

First of all, I'm really glad to know that my map was inspirational. That's extremely gratifying.

I found this map fun, and I have to give you props for getting water to look right behind glass. I was unable to manage that in my own attempts. I like the

in this map, and I like what you did visually with the underwater areas. Those little lights on the wall look perfect. I also noticed that GLaDOS actually sounded muffled when I was under water, which is cool.

I drowned once because I tried to

Thanks for over 1,000 downloads: The Cold Shoulder

I should also thank you, Marise, for telling me what water texture you used. Thank you very much, I probably would have screamed like a Rabbid trying to find the texture on my own. :lol:

I also want to point out that this map was going to be a lot bigger than it was. However, I felt that it would be too lengthy. If I make an AATC 2, I'll reuse some scraped ideas (putting fire out with water, making underwater traps, etc.) if I do make another map.
