A map with Repulsion and Propulsion gels.
My first Portal 2 map.

This looks very similar to the map Valve gave us in the SDK maps folder as an example. Just sayin'

I download the map at once when I see the thumbnail showing old aperture. And this map didn't let me down. Although a little bit easy, it is brilliant. One little flaw is that it seems difficult to jump across the pit(need very accurate placement of portal).
In general, it's splendid. I give you 5/5. Be sure to make more old aperture maps!!

Map building isn't bad at all, but some of the jumps might be excessively close calls. Dying 6 times with the platform 2 inches away from you was disappointing.

What kept happening for me, is that in specific spots before really big jumps, I kept getting a speed boost out of the portal. Much bigger than usual, and in both directions: so if I failed the jump and crawled back, it would propel me to death the other way.

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

Same thing happened to me at the long jump. Died twice, third jump worked despite being no different than the other 2.

Map is fun, the puzzles are a little on the easy side, looks decent, overall good job.

You can shoot a portal to the lowest level right after you step out of the elevator, skipping a bit of the puzzle.

I thought it was a balanced map, and of course it looked great. Having read the previous posts, I was able to make both big jumps several times without issue.

In the room where you use the blue gel "ladder" method to climb the walls, I did bounce up to the landing above and then bounce right over the railing a few times. Good times.

Thank you for the map!
