v1.01

v1.0
Released map
the inception style room makes no sense and is very annoying
What room are you referring to?
the first part of the puzzle,
the second or the third?
(for clarity:
part two starts after the first door, part three starts after the second door)
Any suggestions how I could change it so it would be better in your opinion?
Hey, I just played through your map. Overall I think it's a great map with its only major flaw being a sense of direction. Often times I would hit a button or turn on a light and wonder, 'Well, what did that do?' I think you should consider adding indicator dotted lines and perhaps signs (i.e. funnel switch sign, although that one was plenty obvious) to the buttons and laser catchers.
I liked your use of world portals, but you have to be careful because world portals can easily cause crazyness in your map. I found a couple problems with the world portals as I was playing through:
- After you push the button to open the door to the top room, the world portals in the 'gel room' close. However, this means that if you now jump down to the white gel button, you're trapped.
- Once you activate the button to the top room, it creates a world portal from the top room to the bottom room on top of the portalable panels in the bottom room. If you then shoot portals at those panels, it will create glitchily-behaving portals.
As an overall suggestion, I would recommend trying to visually/physically integrate the world portals more naturally into your map. As it is right now, it just appears like arbitrary chunks of the wall are cut out. Maps with well-incorporated world portals can be really impressive and mind-bending, since it's less obvious they're there. And aesthetics is always important.
Finally, here are a couple small issues I noticed with the aerial faith plate room. Firstly, the aerial faith plate has a tendency to kill you, since it's a little too weak. Unless you walk onto from directly behind, you will hit the wall and fall into the deadly water. Secondly, you can bring the cube back from that room on your first trip up there. Since the button is rimmed, you can 'range grab' the cube by grabbing it and looking downwards. Then you just have to walk onto the aerial faith plate and as you do so look back up so the cube snaps into your hands. This cuts out a pretty significant part of the puzzle.
My final comment is that the blue gel really did not contribute to the puzzle. The blue gel currently only exists so that you can paint one spot on the floor in order to reach the white gel. It would be more interesting if perhaps you had to paint a spot on the floor, and then bouncing from there would allow you to fling yourself up to the white gel, or something of that nature.
Happy mapping! I think these suggestions should help you polish up this map, and I hope my general suggestions will help your future maps to come.
I think the map was great, the different rooms really threw me for a loop. I forgot I could go back us use stuff from the other rooms. The world portals made it confusing, but if it isn't confusing then it isn't very good. If you mark everything, it takes the fun out of it.
@Engimaphase : thanks for your detailed feedback.
In my previous map I used a lot indicator lights, but in this level it just won't work anymore since the level is to big and to complex. I think the test signs are a great suggestion!
About the problems:
1: missed that one, going to fix that in an update.
2: it's a bit more complex, but I think I can fix that!
3: I'll try to fix that!
4: I'll fix that
5: I'll try to fix that too
About the blue gel: I used the blue gel twice in my intended solution. It still isn't a major test element in this test, and I guess it will never be, but I can see what I can do 
@DieselEmpire: GlaD you liked it
As seen in the description of the map: I uploaded version two: It is just a bit harder and better than the 1.0.1 version!

Very complex puzzle, but not sure how you could give more guidance. I noclipped a couple times to see what was where, rather than trial and error finding. Thanks for creating...look forward to more....
very nice map, I personally enjoyed it and i like the "inception styled rooms" i think its very creative
However i was unable to continue after i opened several doors and i didnt want to cheat by using any glitches :p hehe.
As you'll see from the screenshots bellow the cube sinks into the floor and I am unable to direct the laser to its destined point. I've tried many times picking up and dropping the cube on that surface, i tried different angles, locations etc etc, none of them worked. Can you confirm whether this is a glitch or me ?
Thanks
