The 2nd chamber really is pretty cool because you have to pull out every conceivable way to speed up your actions. The slightest delay results in yet another failed attempt. Oh well here is one solution - not sure if there are any others . . .

Chamber 2 ONLY

Another solution:

:-D

So far I solved and played only your 2nd and 4th map. As I stated before for me you and Jonatan are ingenious in terms of puzzle making abilities. I had high expectations for this 1st release. The initial two chambers however were slightly dissapointing. Too linear and with tricky manouvers. That being said the third one turned out to be one of the best puzzles I played in Portal2 ! Had me baffled for like 30 min. But I felt that I`m just closer and closer. Chander simply put this is another great release - 5/5 from me. Gave me great satisfaction. Please continue mapping !

I quite enjoyed this one Chander! I do like your open and bright architecture.
I had no trouble with part one and caught on to the

Spoiler
cube-in-portal trick for shooting through the slits. Seriously guys! It would not be Chander's style to make you jump/crouch and make it a dynamic shot!

Part two was a bit more challenging. I solved it differently from both PCdoc and creuz.
Spoiler
I caught the cube and placed it up on the big step near the timed fizzler. Then jumping from the button, I grabbed it off the ledge while flying through towards the exit
. Maybe I'll do a video later.
Part three... the hardest one. I spent quite a while making notes and trying to figure it out. I was pretty sure I had all the concepts needed but I didn't think it would be super fun and I ran out of time. I'm working on my own new map after all! :D
One interesting thing I found in part 3:
Spoiler
it's possible to place a cube just on the edge of a button so that if you jump down through floor portals, you can grab it on the way past and jump up to some other level
. I thought if the puzzle was much more difficult, this might be required but that it probably wasn't.
Anyway it was lots of fun and please keep up the good work! :thumbup:

My maps: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8].

I was prepared for dirty tricks this time, but didn't really have any problems. I also suspect that my solutions were not intended, especially after reading the comments here.

Spoiler

  1. Shot through the slits by jumping.
  2. Timing was a little tight, but at least the shooting wasn't too bad.
  3. Portal bumped to get the second cube back downstairs.

I'll think on part 3 some more, I feel confident there's no need to cheat.

Still, another good headscratcher from you. 4/5 from me.

Timing room 2

Spoiler
If you place a portal by the button, and one at the edge of the platform, you can make it fast enough to catch the cube on the way down.

My solution for part two. Damn, I remember it being easier! It was hard to record without quicksaves.

Well...

Room 1... pretty straight forward nothing too tricky..

Room 2.. You're kidding right? You have to have ninja skills and perfect timing to solve. And you don't have to be very clever. The timing and positioning has to be so precise it's stupid.. I no-clipped it. I kept ending up back in the faith plate pit on the return trip...about 15x Poor design.

Room 3.. Got in the funnel then realized I had no escape from the laser grid.

At that point, with my last save being just after room 1, (no autosaves?) I quit.

Your other maps are very clever, and I liked them very much.. this one, I don't even want to finish.

Can anyone post a solution for part 3? I've spent at least 3 - 4 hours on it and I'm sick to death of it. I was pretty sure I had it figured out, but I didn't save and I shot the wrong color, messing up my portal pattern, and I couldn't remember how to get back to where I was. I'm giving up, but I still want to know how it's done so I can realise how stupid I am!

i posted the solution for part3 on page 1.

Thanks marKiu. I'm apparently blind as well as dumb! I has to watch the video three times to actually see what you did!

Warning solution!
