For advanced portalers. This is the sequel to "Blue 1.1" and does not involve using glitches to solve it. It takes place in one test chamber that is quite big and requires you to think outside the box.

Included in the test:

- Cube throwing
- Excursion funnels
- Hard light surfaces
- Aerial faith plates
- Fun

as i always say, a good puzzle doesn't need to look very good. it was a fun map, although the cube throwing can be a bit annoying. thankfully you just needed to touch the last one. landing would have been a frustrating task.

I wasn't sure if it was because I spent hours testing it, but I did too find the cube throwing annoying. Although I found it rewarding when I got the hang of it. As for it looking good, I believe that was my last priority. So I guess that's a good thing lol.. Thanks for the comment!

Unplayable and frustrating, an entire map based on ugly play. Not glitches nor exploits: just the ugly stuff people normally try to avoid.

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

Sorry, never got the hang of cube throwing in P-2 environment, certainly not far enough to consistently get out of room 1. Guess I need remedial cube throwing.... Can't play the rest of your map - not advanced enough...

Hahaha thanks for the comment. I won't be making anymore maps that involve cube throwing because the majority of people get frustrated with it. My next maps will be more professional and will be named Red just because in terms of heat it is opposite of Blue lol. They will not contain cube throwing.. sorry ):
