I made this map before I got an account here, so I figured I would upload this.

PART 2 IS ON ITS WAY

Difficulty: Easy-Medium

-GRAVITY LABORATORIES-
This map will make you rethink everything you knew about portals. (That sounds like the beginning of a clique movie trailer, doesn't it?) Three tests, one introductory and two with a challenge, use gravity changes as a puzzle element. By using buttons, you can alternate between normal and low gravity.

I saw many maps with Gravity Puzzles, but this map is a really good implementation of the low gravity.
Also the "Blue light/fog whatever" change looks really good, 5/5

Thanks for creating, keep up that kind of puzzle! :thumbup:

Great fun and just overall great map. Fun puzzles and a lot of potential for future chambers.

I can't wait for more!

That sure is a nice map you got there. It would be a shame if someone broke it.

Great map, liked the visuals and puzzles. There were several vertex textures though and I thought some of the plastic walls looked out of place. I really liked the outer destruction though, I was really impressed with how much detail there was.

One larger problem is, whatever console command you used to give a purple hue, was carried on to the next map I played so I had to restart the game. You should fire a turn off to that command a second before the voting screen or something, that should fix the problem. :wink:

4/5

A new twist to low gravity puzzles in the last chamber, nicely done. Atmosphere was great and the blue light was a nice effect. Thanks for the tutorial chamber to start, simple but welcome. Lots of potential for more maps using this effect...Thanks for creating.

Thanks for informing me about this. It should be fixed now. :thumbup: By the way, I use an env_ambient_light (I think it's called that) to make the blueness.
