This is my chamber for the contest. Its prety short and simple but fully detailed.
The original room was meant to have a water pit that lowered presing a button which was posible with sdk but not with authoring tools (dunno why), so this is the result, quite similar.
Anyway, have fun with the chamber, it was made for that ^^
Please note that my computer cannot open instances nor place overlays so the lifts were copied and pasted from a friends map (he allowed me to dont worry).

I 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=k20WDftsVoU

Thanks for the video, i thought no one would even care about the map. Anyway, I knew about the contest two weeks ago so I dindt have enough time to make more, and the time I had was spent doing mainly bug fixing and detailing.
You' ve solved the map perfectly dont worry :thumbup:

A single short puzzle without much story, but featuring plenty animations. The canyon above the ruined ceiling looks pretty ugly.

the hills are alive... with the sound of music

Feedback:

* Cool attractions in the map. Nice job!
* So easy and short...
* The turret that we throw is nearly invisible! (which is bad)

Almost too much attention to detail, at the expense of story and puzzle. What little there is looks pretty good. 3/5 from me.
