You have posted this map twice. Rough and glitchy WIP map, needs a lot of work before even talking about looks and puzzles. So let's start:

1st room: "fling here" signs are always on top. Invisible desk with lamp on top at the very start.
2nd room: very difficult to enter a portal at the bottom of the 2 slopes to fling yourself, as it can only be shot one way and you seem to deviate when falling.
3rd room: background around the ball thing looks black from some distance. Flickering textures at the metal walkways. White panel at the toilet is hard/impossible to portal to. And the dotted line there goes to the wrong place.

BTW you can shortcut the 2nd room, avoiding to interact with the funnel by ?-fling from the slopes area.

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

Kinda liked the map but there are some issues:
1. I missed the drop point so I did the first two steps by dropping myself through the ceiling and the floor, making speed and then catapulting myself out.
2. The ramp in the first part is very close to the edge of the map, think about placing a clip or invisible thing so we won't fall of the map (clip is preferred)
3. the two pipes in the second room partially overlap, giving strange effects.
4. --> see 4rd room at xdiesp post.
5. In the third room the second blue gel dropper isn't needed, you can use the first blue paint dropper to get paint on that surface.
6. the companion cube looked funny but just doesn't feel right, it looks like it is very important, while it's not.

There are still quite a few things to fix, but overall it looks promising. Very good for a first map I'd say!

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:

Also note the video description for more feedback and my signature for additional project information.

Learn about autosaves. While this map is just a little too ninja for me to play well, it's not ridiculous. It is plain to see that this is what you were going for, at the expense of visuals. Instead of spending your time making things that look weird, concentrate on the stuff that's supposed to look normal, first.

In the second room, you can get blue gel on the platform with the laser and you're toast. Slathering gel around isn't fun for me, so I didn't like this room, anyway.

Since it isn't broken, or horribly ugly, I give it 3/5, but just barely.
EDIT: Because I bumped the scroll wheel, it got a 2. Mistake, or Freudian slip?
