I enjoyed the puzzle on this one. At the last jump, I first tried to use just orange gel, but I died a few times and tried to get blue gel at the end (which I'm convinced is not possible without noclip). I realized that my initial attempt had failed because gel on the bridge is not saved; when the map is loaded, the bridge is redrawn from source to wall.

I also got a bizarre graphical glitch on the four pillars in the starting area:

From experience, I some of that is supposed to happen (like NO GAME SESSION or calling mapspawn.nut), but some of it might be related. Or I might just need to re-download Portal 2 for some reason.

...I'm still rating it a 5/5.

That is a custom texture, I thought it was a Portal 2 texture, I am not sure how it got to my Portal 2 files without me knowing.

Great map, not that hard but still interesting.

Pretty fun map, Mota, although it was a tad easy/predictable, maybe make [spoiler]Using the blue paint in the room with the parallel wall to wall jump across the pit while holding the cube[/spoiler] a viable solution (or the solution) instead? I really wanted to do that.

Ive been told that is possible. Might not be a bit obvious but is possible. I think I tried it myself. I'll check what version is up and I'll see if I can get the improved version up.
