Pure madness, a bit scary when you start it, but not realy dificult. Love it.

What a warped mind****, fantastic job man! Map is like an Escher painting, as to say impossible geometries which leave you dizzy just realising them.

It starts early on, with just a curious trick in a default clean chamber: by the end of it, you see into forever completely taken away. The only drawback is the occasional visual artefact due to the heavy use of worldportals.

Really solid mapping and fun to play, but I have to say that I found the [spoiler]worldportal[/spoiler] trick disorienting and frustrating without some indication of what was going on. As much as it might appeal to a niche audience of people who are developing tolerance to 'standard' gameplay and need ever more elaborate and frustrating mechanisms to get their specific 'fix', I think you could take this great idea and make it accessible to more people by providing some sort of visual cue that there is more than meets the eye. I think most people like to have that "Aha!" moment when they put together the puzzle elements, but this one left me feeling more like I was the butt of a practical joke. Just my $0.02.

Well this was really interesting I must say. The above commenter is right saying its like an Escher painting. I was quite confused at first and didn't realize that the areas were linked back on themselves with invisible portals for a while. After I got it I was like "Whoa... this is trippy"
Good experience I must say. However the some of the portals between areas glitch out and don't draw properly... maybe they aren't allowed to "see" each other.
I knew you could hardwire this kind of invisible portal into a map but don't really know how to do so because none of the example maps had it. Well, I'm going to use your map as an example instead =)

4/5

Woha, that was awesome. The impossible geometry of the map make me cry a little, but it wasn't too hard to solve. I'm not sure if i've solved totally legit, especially for that part:

This should win. That's all.

Yes...disorienting. Clever concept for a map - the puzzle wasn't all that hard, the disorientation was what created complexity. An excellent map, not sure if I want to see a more complex puzzle within the rooms, could be fatal.....Well done. Thanks to your team for creating.

How delightful! I agree that the disorientation was the main element of difficulty, but I think that made the puzzle FUN! My one main crit is that you may be using too many world portals, sometimes they bug out and its in places where there are extra ones that are not neccessary for finishing the puzzle.

Also, with the first faith plate, you may want to put the info_target in a shaft above the ceiling since it throws you off.

I'm going to have to say this is my favorite map of the contest so far. The sphere of roundness and the other map that came with that come close, but their overuse of music took those maps down a notch...

I can almost hear Cave saying: [spoiler]In this next test, we will be shooting you with GRAVITY and ANTI-GRAVITY beams. So when you leave the test chamber MAKE SURE you're leaving on the actual floor. That's the one that faces down towards the center of the Earth. The boys down at legal tell me we don't need any more test subjects just flying off into space. --gets the attention of NORAD and we don't need those guys down our throats again either. So remember where the real floors are and if you see too many of yourself in there don't worry that's just the reality bifurcation field we're experimenting with.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I would have also liked for you to take advantage of the world portals more... as in having to do things through them... like shining a beam through in a way that is only possible with world portals, or flings, or whatever else you might think up... I felt truly like you were Eschering me. It was great.[/spoiler]
