I didn't have much trouble figuring things out, the first puzzle was a bit troublesome, butin a good way (it made me think.)
I agree. Map looks great, and figuring out how to get the cube on the button was pretty good, but the rest of the puzzle was very clear what to do.
Mapping Since May 21, 2011
Excellent map, I didn't look for cheat methods and think I used all the intended solutions (used everything which worked fine). Enjoyed it. Thanks much for creating.
Quality map for Old Aperture, charming at times but flawed. Don't get me wrong, it's all good but the devil is in the details.
Take the first puzzle: both brilliant (the slope) and uninspired (
Bug: close to the first catapult you can take, is a grate with a portable yellow wall behind.
Im not given a gun. makes the map kinda difficult
Same, no portal gun?!!
You're not given a gun? First time I've seen that since you start standing on a gun. You actually get 2 guns (1 you spawn on, and then the global_ents upgrade to a potatogun as the entry elevator starts moving. I think you guys may want to verify integrity of game files.
So I'm assuming I wasn't supposed to spawn without a portal gun...
Edit: Apparently if you change the name of the .bsp you don't get a portal gun. Changed the name back to original and it's working fine.
Making my reply before reading everyone else's. Then will go back and edit if need be.
Let me say I REALLY loved this map. It was beautiful, well put together, and FUN! It had some neat ideas, and wasn't overly hard, or complicated. Even had some LOLDOH! Moments
The rest of what I have to say will be in a spoiler tag for obvious reasons:
Final Note: I FREAKING LOVED! the final catapult-flinging sequence, it had all the fun of complex/long flings, without having to over think too much (until near the end) so you could just sorta sit back and enjoy the ride (until near the end).
EDIT2: Also, I loved the idea of a semi-Terminal Velocity setup (like you see in coop maps) but that you are able to do yourself using the blue paint! 
Not sure if this was the entirely intended solution, but i had fun with it none-the-less!
Loved it. And would have liked to seen this get an honorable mention.
edit: there are also some clipping issues regarding the "hand rails" throughout. In some areas you can use the cube to jump over the rails, and in other places you can't. In some cases i understand why, because it would just be to easy to exploit the map... But if it looks like you can jump over something, you should be able to. or make it so they can't take the cube into those areas.

Glad to see how much you liked it. As for the screen shot, I don't think there is a clip on the gantry holding the angled panel. I'll add one in.
In response to your 2nd edit, yes this is exactly intended since
