Hehe good job : for the paint jump : you could simply jump and create the funnel on your left directly

Yeah, I noticed that too, when I watched the video after recording.

I noted the shortcut at the end (good job spotting it), modified the map to force the player to solve it the way i intended.

ok, good to know it really was a shortcut.

By the way : what's the problem with the catapults in your vid ? i don't have the glitches at home ... do you have them on all the maps ?

I dont have this problem on the standard portal 2 maps, but I saw it often on user maps.
I dont know how to solve that problem. Maybe you will find an answer in this forum.
(I dont have this problem on all user maps!)

Edit: dont worry, I will update my video soon.

Well... the puzzles on this map are really cool...
BUT
I really dislike solutions like yours in the second part of room 1.
Explanation
[spoiler]To get through this little grid... well... please get some better ideas for that[/spoiler]

If you would leave this out or re-edit it this map would be a real nice one.

Ok, in the next release there will the an arrow pointing up to show you the grid all i can do right now, working on a coop one. I'll try and avoid "finding little hole" thing in next maps, promised.

Yeah, that part is a bit to boring...

suggestion 1
[spoiler]- I would enjoy a catapult instead of the grid
- you would have to make the small corridor bigger and remove both grids
- landing at the top (where you already placed the sign to "land" after catapult)
- just try to avoid the possibility that player can jump down to this room with the gel[/spoiler]
suggestion 2
[spoiler]- I would enjoy the jumping gel placed on two wall facing each other instead of the grid
- you would have to make a room and 2 portal places, to get the walls marked with gel
- just try to avoid the possibility that player can jump down to this room with the gel,
before he reaches it with the funnel![/spoiler]

Would love to see any of these two suggestions instead of the actual way it is.
Altough, you already know it: great map, dude!

Yep ok, i'll think about something like that ... but at this point i have no way to getting the paint down there ... but i'll figure out.

Yeah, certainly do something about the grate. That's not a good way to do it IMHO. Maybe just make a huge shaft, but with the death lasers covering it. Something to make it more obvious.

[spoiler]Also, the last step in the last room, my solution was to shoot the funnel beam at the far end, then use residual gel next to the button to get on top of the rail and jump in the beam. It looks like you may have wanted to avoid that solution with the extra blocks you placed, but it didn't entirely work. I think that last bit is a little difficult to figure out, so maybe just remove a few blocks to make the gel thing an alternate solution.[/spoiler]

Also ran into a bug where the gel kept flowing even with the box on the funnel. Couldn't reproduce it, but when I stepped on the gel button and off again it fixed itself.

Hi.

This map was great, not really difficult ([spoiler]except for that second hidden grid, I hated it ^^ but I see you're gonna put an arrow, I agree wit that[/spoiler]) but difficult enough for me to enjoy it. It may be a little too easy for some people though since I'm not a really fast puzzle solver but I won't talk for others ^^

Definitely enjoyable, [spoiler]the interactions with the first map were great[/spoiler], it was a good work of level design.
Thank you for it.
