[SP] One Week Creation

Page 1 of 5Next

I have challenged myself to make decent test chamber in a week to help get my mind off of other things like TAKS testing and another Portal project I'm helping with. This chamber is fairly simple but even still I believe it came out alright.

This test chamber includes:
An Excursion Funnel
Fizzlers
lpfreaky90's Death Fizzlers
A Hard Light Bridge acting as a shield wall
and of course, Buttons and Switches.

Special thanks to lpfreaky90 for the use of the Death Fizzler texture.

I don't have time to upload a thumbnail so please look at the screenshots :)

It is rather simple but not too easy either. Also, the clean style looks pretty good. Thanks for sharing!

I'm always trying to find errors, bugs and things that annoys me in other peoples maps, but I loved this one!

It isn't that challenging, but that's the beauty of it! I always understood what I was supposed to do next and never got stuck with a puzzle. It reminded me a lot of the actual maps in Portal 2's single player.

Spoiler
You might wanna bring some more attention to the button in the sealing though...

Great map, not that hard to solve, but that's the kind of maps I like ^^

Never use Logic to solve a puzzle, he's an idiot...

Pretty impressive for a week's work ^^
The puzzles are pretty straightforward, but the map looks good and plays well, thanks!

Was gonna do a speedrun, but quickly got bored of that.. here's my solution isntead.

Great for a weeks work.I went back and managed to beat it with 1 cube.Tried to do it again several times but its real hard to push yourself out of the portal and land on the ledge.

Great map, and again, awesome puzzle! It's exactly that what I like, you are really my favourite mapper about the puzzles, I love your puzzles! :D. 5/5.

By the way, are going to make some update to Blue Walls where would be for example fix for that Portal gun bug? Blue Walls is still the best map I've ever played, and I'd love to play again that map! But with "singleportal gun", with that "bothportal gun" it doesn't have sense.

I completed it with just one cube, but in slighty different way, cause I have forgotten, that there is another one :D
Anyway,it would by pretty nice piece of puzzle, if you left the player with just one cube

Thanks for the review and yeah I was thinking about how to do that, you have any suggestions? :D

Thanks for the review and for the video. It's always nice to see people play through the map and find new and inventive ways to solve it. For example

I intended it so that the player would use the Excursion Funnel hit the switch, I knew players might find alternative ways for using momentum though.
I always love to see people think differently than I do.

Thank you for that first bit, it means a lot more than you know. That top bit really made my day. About Blue Walls though I've been working on it for awhile now and I believe I should be getting closer to finishing it soon though.

Can one of you (or someone else) post a vid on how that was done? because I am honestly confused as to how you did it.

Overall thanks for the constructive criticism you all I really appreciated it. :D

I solved the map using both cubes. I read the posts and went back and tried using 1 cube.

Spoiler
Once I was on the exit side I shot a portal on the ceiling as close as I could to the area where the cube is to turn off the LP's fizzler and went through my portal and landed on the upper area with the cube.
Nice job! Thanks for creating.

Oh I see, I'll see what I can do about that, thanks for describing it. :D
