Now, we don't want you trying your hand at test_03 unless you've completed test_01 and test_02 before hand. And looking at your file here you've... well, the lab boys say it's okay. Give it a shot! What's the worst that could happen? I hear this one has a surprise ending too. Those lab boys don't like surprises, but I don't like their egg shaped heads. Let's show those white-coated nerds what a good surprise can do for a man!

Hey guys! My first Portal 2 release here. Everything's just about the way I want it. Couldn't get elevator transitions working the way I liked, so I've added a "surprise" at the end.

Enjoy test_03 and give me some feedback please!

INSTALL: You know the drill! Save test_03 in programs/steam/steamapps/common/portal2/portal2/maps
RUN IT: You also know this drill! Open console and type "map test_03" or simply double click test_03.bsp after it is saved in the right folder.

SOLUTION: Click ahead to this youtube video to watch a short demo of the level http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeBhsOTvApI

Yeah, you've found the surprise! And you've earned it (well, the lab boys say otherwise, but I won't stand around while they give you guff all day).

Once I get elevator transitions working properly I will attach this to the other test chambers I am working on.

Thank you both for playing and giving feedback!

Not too easy, not too hard, looks nice and was fun.
the perfect map

Nice little test. I didn't like the first door, but when I figured out the laser puzzle I felt like an idiot for not seeing the solution sooner, and that's the best kind of puzzle, IMO.

Valve made lasers "home in" on their targets, so that players didn't have to be completely accurate when aiming lasers.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm thinking of changing that first door/room a bit to give it some more depth. Right now that beginning part is kinda.....meh.

Glad it stumped you (if only for a moment!)
