Cool map! Very funny and mostly creative!

I found a little bug though:

Spoiler

I got stuck in the second room where glados camera is located, in the moment I got near enough to look through the grid and discovered the companion cube and redirecting one... I couldn't move at all from that corner, like trapped by the camera, and I had to re-load the map

. Very good first game with the ball, and very nice puzzle

Spoiler

the latest labyrinth room with the redirecting cube activating the panels in one direction and then in the oppossite direction

.

Thanks for being there creating for us, the players

useful tools and stuff here on TWP :thumbup:

Amazing map. And very visually pleasing. You really captured the look Portal 1 Aperture in my opinion. The puzzles were fun and not too challenging yet not dead giveaways. And that man...creepy!

I tip my hat to you sir. I only wish maps even looked as good as this.

What is the companion cube for?

While not the most visually aesthetic map I've seen, the creatively built puzzles more than make up for it. One thing I would change is

Spoiler

the portalable surface just below the grate which you use to get back if you fail in the last maze. When I first saw it, I thought that I had to portal down there for something, distracting me from the main elements of the chamber, so perhaps it shouldn't be directly visible from above.

Other than that, and a few other errors people have already mentioned, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I started playing custom maps and record me playing them. It's neither a perfect run nor do I have to have solved the map in the way it's meant to solve it. I play the maps "blind", that means I've never been in them before and play them for the very first time. I also give a little feedback for the map in the video description.

Maybe you are interested in the fact, that I played your map: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EtrbO4Bjlc

Very cool, I had some ideas for a cube maze, but I don't have time to make maps.

I think there's a lot more potentially fun puzzles to be done in the ball/cube maze theme. Please make some more.

The broken exit elevator has been mentioned, but also the sky-box is visible in the glass above and below that elevator. I would have liked to see some kind of ending that follows up on that opening sequence.

Excellent map - if there are any graphical glitches/imperfections, I certainly didn't notice them. It's the substance that makes a truly great map, so enhancing the style would just be a bonus.

Good, clearly structured puzzles which minimise frustration but maintain challenge. Animations are a great touch, keeps it interesting and helps accentuate the important bits.

Thanks for a most enjoyable contribution!
