Classic flinging puzzles in a not so polished clean style. Not much of a looker, and easy if not time consuming for the much ground to be covered.

the hills are alive... with the sound of music

Thanks for the feedback. This is my first map and at least I learned a lot from the building process.
I tried to match the puzzlestyle to that of the singleplayer campaign. Next time I'll try to invent new puzzle elements. A bit more variation might be more fun.

Could you explain why you call it Classic flinging puzzles?

Spoiler
I'm almost certain that flinging yourself is not part of the solution. I thought it was barely possible.

I should have probably said: flinging and much platforming - that must have been burnt into my memory after a hundred tries, who knows. If you went after the campaign look, I'm not seeing it - big box with big steps to climb through series of blue jumps.

I did not like:

Spoiler
One angled panel was just for confusion?!

Spoiler
You had to use it to get the blue paint on the target, so you could bounce to the exit.
Did you find another solution?

I've got a lot of trouble with

Spoiler
flinging to the exit, after few tries I give up this way of solving. Instead I put a gel anywhere where it's possible & start jumpng from the big stairs to the exit.
I think that the other solution is: fling through the angled platform (first portal) & platform at the ceiling (second portal), jump onto wall with gel on it & then jump on tagret place on the floor and ther to the exit. But I never managed to solve it in this way.

Spoiler
Flinging towards the exit is, as far as I know, not possible.

Unfortunately I hadn't foreseen your solution; it skips the most difficult part of the puzzle and is (probably) less fun.

The intended solution;

Spoiler
Use the angled panel to get paint on the target on the floor, then pick up the cube and place it back on its original button to gain acces to the lightbridge again. Use portals to create a bridge leading towards the entrance of the big chamber and jump on the target to bounce to the exit.

I used all the effects to solve your puzzle, worked well. Thanks for creating.

I'm playing custom maps and record my first time of playing them. So the run is not perfect and may not use only intended ways, but maybe it can let you see how other people may understand the map or you could just enjoy someone playing this map for entertainment.
Anyways, here is the recording:
