Sucked up into a box dropper to nowhere was novel - took me while to figure out that was the ending and not a glitch? thanks for mapping. Ok for a first map...

For a first map this is done actually quite well. The idea of using the box distributor(?) as the transportation for Chell is a new and interesting idea. The puzzle was moderately challenging and enjoyable. A couple of things that I did notice that you could consider improving on for future maps are the following:
1) The chamber seemed to sprawl a bit, perhaps in future maps you might want to consider 'tightening' it up a bit so that it doesn't quite feel so large. I felt as if i had to do a lot of walking in order to accomplish the puzzle.
2) I saw a bit of texture repetition in the floors, I understand that in being your first map textures can be difficult, but it is just something to consider.
3) The timings on the water were not really 'tight' it really wasn't a challenge that you felt the clock bearing down on you to do, so possibly reduce that time or add a timer somewhere to add to the tension.

Overall however, for a first attempt this map is done remarkably well, I definitely appreciated the extra creativity in the delivery of Chell. With a little bit of work and polish it could turn into something quite nice. As always thanks for mapping.

Fun little map. A bit simple overall, but still fun and nicely made. One thing to consider, I never noticed that I entered and exited from and the box droppers until I came to this thread. Maybe there's some way to make that a little more obvious.

I've been doing least portal runs of custom maps and I figured out a way to do this one in just 2 portals:

It's a nice map, but it could be improved:
1) The end. Sucked by a box is not a bad idea,but I had to play the map again to check wether that was a bug or not. And you can also skip it! (Jump from the ledge and there u go)
2) The cube respawn button: It's a long walk there, just to find out there's only that button that won't be used by most users.
3) As already said, the timing should be tighter

Thanks for the feedback guys. I will fix up each issue and try to increase the difficulty for the next version.

Thanks again.

PS. John11, that was really well done I never thought of doing that with the cube. Thank you for showing a different path of completion.

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:

Fairly well done for a first map. I agree with others that you need to let the player know that they've reached the intended ending. 3/5.

I managed to jump around the intended ending.. And then I bunnyhop/jumped to the end elevator, only to find it closed =(
An ending message or adding a real end elevator would be cool. And then maybe the suction box dropper could spit you back out somewhere else? Use it as an extra obstacle, because it is possible to pass.
