Whoops, I missed that. I'll fix it now

Niiice! I just finished this- I'll be honest, I thought it was a simple, one chamber map at first. I try not to spoil myself with videos or anything without playing. xD

Expectations were proven horribly wrong, which is great. The puzzles and mechanics used in this map are really quite interesting, though there are a couple of bugs.

Spoiler
Thermal Redirection cubes will stick to the wall like magnets. So does a panel in the previous chamber to the '00' test chamber sign. xD

Having to avoid the turrets can be a bit annoying without any real way to knock them down, but the visuals were great and the puzzles were interesting, so all in all, great job.~

Excellent map, a few graphic issues need to be fixed with the doors. But the over all map was stunning and brilliant. This was a great map :D

Really good map. I thought the magnets were my computer glitching up :/ Nice work with the cinematic feel (falling of rocks and such). Overall, really good first map!

8) Very, very nice. Getting the first chamber was tricky but great. But it seems there are bugs, I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the room with the lasers, only to check your youtube vid and realize. At first I thought the cube dropper didn't respond at all, but on second try (reloaded and replayed map) it seems to open its lid when I activate the laser, but two cubes are stuck next to eachother in its exit so none of them drops to the floor.

I also encountered some bug in the first room where I accidentally lifted the cube from the button while standing near the opened floor panels, they closed and the cube got stuck.

edit:
Not sure how to recreate any of the bugs, but openingclosing the cube thing several times made the cubes drop eventually.

Great work on the visual stuff / animations in this map...

Spoiler
I also like how you "educate" the player to understand how the laser beam redirection glass "panels" work by makng the first one be really easy and obvious to get. Slight annoyances with the jump in the first chamber, the large tube in the roof is kindof in the way for creating a new portal right away while jumping.

Can't wait to see more stuff like this coming!

good map, i like the new element of the mirror

problems: if u fizzle your reflectobox in the last room a new one didnt drop, got jammed against a second box in the tube, so there were 2 just sitting in there stuck. tried fizzling it again, just kept happening.

also the sky box on the last room in portable! i couldnt resist shooting up there

otherwise a really good map, good to get a challenge for a change

Became uninterested after the first puzzle. I would like to see those magnets, but not worth the hassle again tbh.

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

I'd like to know what these magnets are that everyone seems to be talking about xD The only thing i can think off is the Pnuamic vent not triggering off when it is supposed to and pulling stuff towards the walls. If i may ask, how do you guys get out of the BTS situation? I get a feeling you place a portal in the bottom room and jump into it

That is an oversight xD I guess i'm not making the vent obvious enough for the place to use >_<

As for the skybox, i did put a no-portal brush up there but i guess i failed somehow, and the cube dropper glitch is something i really don't know what is causing :/ I've played the map about 30 times in total while making it and never recreated it >_<

Apart from that, thanks for the nice reviews guys :thumbs:
