A delightfully crafted decay map that has influential ties between Valve's maps and (perhaps) a custom map such as Patent Pending. As others have said, perhaps too easy in some parts, but I definitely enjoyed the laser portions of the puzzles.

A few minor things -

Spoiler
the switch in the first room that turns off the fizzler is almost completely shrouded in darkness. When I used the light bridge to cross over to it, it was so dark that I stepped off it thinking the black tile reached all the way to the end and thus, drowned.
:lol:

Also, an extremely minor thing, but the one texture zig-zag hallway connecting your puzzles was lackluster. I wouldn't bring it up normally, but it isn't a big deal, but detail-wise, the rest of your map is so top-notch when it comes to aesthetics, I just thought you might want to know.

Nice work!

Very nice puzzle. Not too hard, not too easy, but still gets you thinking. Everything seemed to be very well placed. 5/5 :thumbup:

Not in cruelty
Not in wrath
The REAPER came today
An angle visited this grey path
And took the cube away

Nice map, I had fun with that. Design was good, but important thing, great puzzles. Not too easy not too hard, it was exactly that what I like. 5/5! Also, that second room, it reminds me a bit chamber from E3 Excursion funnels, but really a bit. But it doesn't mind of course, I like that.

Spoiler
I too flung the cube in the last room.
Was there any other way?

I'm genuinely surprised that no one else did the final room's cube the way I did it...

Here's what I did:

Spoiler
1. Solved the laser puzzle by putting the laser through the portals and lining up the laser cube, so all the relays + the receiver were hit
2. Moved the portal the laser entered to the ceiling above the platform near the fizzler, so I could drop onto said platform by entering the portal through which the laser exited
3. Brought the weighted storage cube to that platform through the portal in the laser area
4. Stood on the platform by the fizzler and re-placed the portal for the laser to enter, thus re-solving the laser puzzle and disabling the fizzler with the cube by my side

Nice map, but all the test chamber signs were purple-and-black for me. I also had some difficulty manipulating the light bridges as they kept running into the junk on the floor. Still enjoyed it though, nice work! :thumbup:

There is no "N" in "Turret."

Very nice map - really enjoyed it - not too easy and not too hard - liked the background music as well. In the 3rd chamber it took me a minute to figure out how to set up the
laser portals so I could get back up to put the cube on the button, but when I thought about it, of course, it was a simple soluton. Kudos, 5 cakes and keep up the great work!

If you really suppose us to solve room 03 by

Spoiler
correctly placing the lasers
rather than
Spoiler
flinging the cube
, then it's not medium difficulty. But I like the
Spoiler
cube fling
solution a lot - it adds something new to the gameplay, and having alternative solutions is a very Portalish thing. Nice mod!

If you had black'n'purple on there, you didnt installed materials right ways. They have been included in download.

Fun map. That's all I really have to say :)

Nice looking map, with enough length and variety that the simplicity of the puzzles didn't detract from the experience. 4/5.

You should compile custom materials into the .bsp file with bspzip.exe, or package everything in a .vpk.
