This was a great map- Really fun to solve! Though, I'll note that I used neither

Spoiler

repulsion gel nor the funnel

for that puzzle just past the first checkpoint. I did technically use the former, but not in the intended manner.

Spoiler

To elaborate- I used the repulsion gel just below the pipe to jump across to the light bride, then just opened a portal there and used the light bridge to solve that puzzle.

It's a good solution for those of us that don't have good control with portals, though. xD

What was wrong with the grate part? It was fairly easy to find for me and was a big "Aha!" moment once I did find it.

Most of us don't look up.

Besides, even when we do, you can only see the surface if you move back- I didn't spot the surface at all at first, though I wondered as to the purpose of the grate.

I solved the middle a different way that I think you may want to change.

Instead of

Spoiler

using the repulsion gel on the wall, above the platforms that raise up,

I was able to get the light bridge down there which makes it much easier than the wall jump mechanic.

Here's how it is done:

Spoiler

If you use the faith plate to hop into the tractor beam, you can immediately hop out down onto a square with repulsion gel on it and land on the light bridge. This allows you to leave one portal down below and use the other to extend the light bridge. Just increase the distance between the light bridge/ repulsion gel square/tractor beam and I think that should solve this problem.

Sorry, no pics because I'm not at home.

Edit: Great map!

Indeed, the difficulty of spotting the grate was the only bad point of the map for me. I hope to see more maps from you in the future!

This is exactly the kind of map that I hate, where learning is through trial and death. I'll rate it zero for encouragement.
