Apparently i solved part of map 5 a haxxor way...
[spoiler]On map 5 when fighting Glados and you are trying to attack her for the 3rd time, I got to the button and pressure plate after the flashing bridge. I got the box and put it on the pressure plate. Never saw the laser by the flashing bridges so I had to improvise... I should note that my brain is stuck thinking outside the box and when i set my mind to something I ACHIEVE. So I jumped on the button next to the pressure plate then jumped up the ledge onto the middle platform area with the 3 buttons and proceeded to press the button that raised the pillars. shot my portal there to go back to my box and hit the button i stood on. then went back thru my portals and shot a portal on the wall, another infront of the laser and turned on the laser for the 3rd hit on glados. I said this is impossible repeatedly and must have died doing this 50 times at least... The 4th hit on glados was super easy because i was just doing the same thing again though. [/spoiler]

LoL, I did it the exact same way, didn't even know there was another way^^ [spoiler]Only that I used the box itself to jump onto the platform[/spoiler]. But now that you mention it, I think I remember the other laser. Only noticed it subconsciously I guess, but with all that time pressure it's hard to watch out for things like that ^^

I beginn playing your Pack. At the Moment i stuck in Map 2, but the Mappack starts very well. Very nice, and i keep at up.

[spoiler]In first part i kicked the turrets not with the laser (the right Solution i think), I walk with the right timing over the light bride and jumped to it.[/spoiler]

Well, you have another "hater". Got through the first 2 maps, which were absolutely amazing. Then came the 3rd one.

I'm completely stuck in the Escher wonderland. I'm able to get 1 cube and bring it over to where i think i need it, but I have no clue how I'm supposed to bring the other cube to the same place. So yeah, a walkthrough or little video would help immensely.

Otherwise, this is some great stuff. Challenging, unique and real meaty levels. Just one of your maps (well, from the first 3 I've played in) has more content than about 80% of the others out there. 6 out of a 5 fer shure!

NOW HELP ME!

This was the most fun and imaginative series I have played, ever! I would put it above the official campaign in terms of enjoyment. The puzzles were actually at a level that don't insult you!

I burned right through levels 1, 2, and 4. I got stuck at one point on 3 for about 30-ish minutes until I figured out the little piece I was missing. And I had to use the quicksave feature an embarrassing number of times on level 5 and still died far more than my fair share.. but it was a blast. Great work!

Well, I'm just missing the video of map 5. The others are already here:

Maps 1+2:

Maps 3+4:

Note that they are blind playthroughs rather than walkthroughs though. Also note that maps 1-4 were played while this project was beta, not sure if there were many changes to those maps.

I'd just like to point out that the videos Djinndrache have linked are back from when the series was still in beta, do not reflect their current state, and that they should only be used if you become permanently stuck on a puzzle. Could you put them in a spoiler tag? One of the video thumbnails shows part of the solution.

This is actually one of the main reasons I began this project in the first place, after playing through the official SP, I felt like my hand was being held the entire time and the puzzles were less about thinking and more about going through the motions after having the whole thing explained to you. This left a bad taste in my mouth, especially when [spoiler]Wheatley tries to kill you and Glados basically SPELLS IT OUT TO YOU how to escape even though she's a potato on your gun and would not have visual confirmation of the dripping portal gel.[/spoiler].

I solved (and beat) this amazing Mappack. This is really the best costumstuff i ever played in Portal.
I like the mix of thinking puzzles and fast jumping puzzles (like in portal 1,yeah i missed it in portal 2, too)

I love the musicmix you choose in the right situations. All together optic, music and difficult this is really nice stuff you made.

[spoiler]The endfight against glados is brilliant and much better than in portal 1 and 2. Valve should to learn a leasson from it[/spoiler]

It is really epic.
6/5

I changed both thumbnails to something that's not spoilering anything. Also added a note that 1-4 are beta playthroughs.

Video 5 is rendered, gonna upload it Tuesday
