Keep working on it..
1. Wheatley Turret walked into the goo before I entered the room. Couldn't reach him.
2. Went across the gap and couldn't get back a crossed without killing myself.

I played it and there are some things that I should point out.

Spoiler
1.You seem to have a problem with your areaportals:

2.Please don't set the turret on super damage, I know what its meant for but there are lots of better ways to acheive that.

3. Set your toxic water texture to something like nature/toxicslime_a2_laser_over_goo, not just a plain old green water texture.

4. You could use a dropper for the box turrets and a frame for the camera screen, not just floating in the hallway.

5. AAARG NOOOOO COMPANION CUBE!!!!!!!!

That is all.

Is there a room which is connected properly to the next? :-P Nothing personal against your mapping skills, but at present time nothing works and all looks obscene. But the contest is 1 week away, you can fix this!

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

Not bad. Not bad at all. But sooo many bugs. In addition to what has already been mentioned, I noticed the following:

- The water does not destroy cubes, and considering the cube becomes irretrievable when dropped in, it should. Which leads me to...

- The level needs a cube vent. Preferably one with the standard "fizzle cube" button next to it.

- When you touch the emancipation grill leading down to the elevator, the portals,

Spoiler
which at that time should be holding the cube against the wall button to keep the door open
, disappear. The player could easily become stuck if they don't move through quickly.

Oh, and if this is a Wheatley chamber, there should be a big Wheatley face monitor on the wall, don't you think?

I went back through and tried to repair all the problems that you guys had listed if you find any more feel free to add them. Ill update the maps with fixes. I knew that the rooms hadn't been connected properly so i went back in and re textured to make it less noticeable a few exceptions maybe. Ill try to add wheatleys monitor but im new to mapping (5 days new) so i have to figure it out. I posted with bugs so i could get criticism thanks for those who post i have tried to fix everyting i hope its better now.

Nice! Looks like you got all of the issues fixed. Only thing left is to polish it up before the contest deadline. Good luck.

How do you get a wheatley block?

"We're done here."

im going to extend the test by adding two maybe three puzzles after the original with different challenges and MUCH cleaner rooms. I also going to clean it up a lot and retexture to add better theme

re bufutda if you mean the wheatley screen its an instance
