Gah! That was brilliant brain excecise!
The [spoiler]bit where you have to line up the reflector cube took bloody ages[/spoiler] leading me to think that maybe there's a more elegant solution, like the rest of the puzzle elements.. but hey, I got there eventually!

Every part of the map was fun though, thanks!

I started recording a blind run, but this being a Chander test and me having sod all HD space make for a bad combo, so I'll record a quick solution after dinner ^^

Yay I finally found the solution I loaded the map today and found it after 2 min.
Sleeping over it is the solution haha
I'm going to record now.

Heh, I had the opposite problem.. [spoiler]I saw that solution, but got stuck on the very last bit :p[/spoiler]

Edit:
Scratch that.. I've either forgotten the solution or glitched my way through. Can't seem to finish it now

Here's my solution.
OKoYaB3O5hA
Video should be available soon...

Not sure if the last part with the [spoiler]grate[/spoiler] is intended but anyways very nice map!!

Edit: Forget what I just said, stupid me. Edit2: Doesn't matter anyway - too stupid for the cube toss.

Hah, brilliant! *clapclap*
I tried that many times but the delay between pushing E and being able to make a portlehole put me off.
When the cube spazzed out completely and jumped across the funnel room I plain gave up on that :p

I'm so bloody stupid! I kept trying the FIRST lightbridge part for about 45 minutes and still couldn't figure it out...

Anyway this was an incredibly good map (in my book), Chander. I'll be looking forward to more maps from you.
And as always marKiu, congrats on quickly figuring out a solution

5/5 from me...

I deleted the 20 fails in the video
I found out that its possible to go back into the funnel room using the lightbridges in the last room.
If you place a portal right behind the bridge and push urself in random directions you slide along the bridge and pop through the portal. Very weird.

Lol, I managed to do that once (orange portal behind bridge), then in the main room, climb the side walls using the wall climb technique.. go back through.. go into the hole with the floor panel. place a portal and remain standing on the edge of the blue one (near the ceiling of the funnel room).. then jump out of it and put the blue portal on the funnel room floor beneath me, coming flying out of the orange one towards the ceiling fizzler. I tried this for like half an hour before realising that even if I got to the top, the cube would still be stuck on the floor button :p

Chander & marKiu, can I just say: You're really sick!

5/5, although I'll never make the map.

As soon as I realized I would have to [spoiler]toss a cube a long way[/spoiler], I knew I was beat. This map is for mouseketeers only, controller freaks need not apply. I just noclipped the cube into the funnel, and continued from there. I finally got stuck trying to get back [spoiler]upstairs across from the exit with the cube still downstairs[/spoiler], so I surrendered and watch marKiu's solution to that point. I'll admit I never would have thought of [spoiler]trapping the cube behind the grill[/spoiler].

I've compared the rest of my solution to marKiu's video, and there's only one major difference. I used a another method to get a portal in the floor of the second room. His way was much easier.

Except for [spoiler]the cube toss[/spoiler] at the beginning, this was almost manageable with a controller. The quick turning and shooting at the start was very tough, though. Except for the [spoiler]cube behind the grate[/spoiler] trick, there wasn't anything really devious in the puzzles. The trip to the lightbridge was a thing of beauty. Since I love remote cube wrangling, the lightbridges at the end were a nice twist, even if it was a bit tedious.

I'll hold off on rating this until I can play it without cheating. The good news (for me) is that my office PC died by degrees two weeks ago. With a new power supply, new motherboard, better graphics and a new hard drive, I can now play Portal 2 with a mouse.
