[SP] diportals, One
Quote from Thursaz on May 19, 2011, 6:29 amInteresting! Room was rather complex at first glance, but the complexity in this case was nice and actually enhanced the puzzle to an extent- So, good job!

Quote from Ruien on May 19, 2011, 10:48 amThis map was great! Only took a couple minutes, but your use of angles was superb. I have not yet seen a map with angles this well-designed. And [spoiler]the switch-up at the end caught me off-guard, too![/spoiler]
This style would go great with a map that also uses angled light bridges.
Edit: One interesting way to employ this angle work would be for the player to use a redirection cube with a flat wall to create the needed angles himself.

Quote from Vandread83 on May 20, 2011, 12:53 amVery nice map, subtle coloring to help guide the player but not being as obvious as a big red arrow lets the player feel their own accomplishment at success, very well designed even if short. Would like to see more like this.

Quote from GLaDOZE on May 20, 2011, 7:35 pmOut of all of the custom Portal 2 maps that have graced my computer screen thusfar this one is definitely the cleanest and most professional. I'm an avid musician and would be interested in making a keen prelude for your levels if you were thinking of making a full map pack. Thanks for the development!

Quote from d3phext on May 21, 2011, 11:47 ammore like this, please. not that this isn't amazing, but you could do some very amazing work with this mindset on a multiplayer map.
the only change i would make would be to remove the [spoiler]red holder for the laser cube. Someone above mentioned he liked that there's "no big red arrows" in the map, but that's exactly what this is, and it gives too much away IMO.[/spoiler]
5/5

Quote from Djinndrache on May 22, 2011, 11:08 amI 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=uubVdC-NhwM

Quote from Adair on May 27, 2011, 4:10 pmThis map is very nice visually. The clean Portal 1 look is pretty much nailed here. So let me skip on to the puzzles.
It wasn't too easy all the way through, but the first thing I did was [spoiler]look around at the two areas I didn't have immediate access to and it instantly became clear what I needed to do with the laser. So that was the last part of the puzzle worked out rather early and without having to do anything except look.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]I think the grey section of floor in the inaccessible room makes the solution too obvious. If you wanted to make the last laser part more difficult you could extend the water over to the area between the two sub rooms(or really have it take up all of that unused floor space) to prevent players from immediately checking out the two sub rooms too closely(especially the inaccessible room). Err, I mean obviously the player needs to see the inaccessible room from the start to understand the first part of the puzzle, but I think you should make the side of that room seem unimportant until the player gets around to being on the light bridge. Then I think that would make the map still very solvable, but not so obvious right from the start.
As for the puzzles themselves, I really liked what I was doing with the laser angles and I liked the different layers of fizzlers that had to be figured out. My only little nitpick is that portals are barely needed(I think only three portals were necessary), but I completely understand the lack of portalable surfaces considering the fizzlers and other puzzle elements present.[/spoiler]
I can't wait to see more Hurricaaane!
BTW, what is a diportal?

Nice work with this one.
