It feels a bit big and empty, otherwise good map.

Weird - the Gels left no trace of color wherever I sprayed them - but their effect worked.
So I just memorized wherever I had put Gel and got through it that way.

Oddly - it was kind of fun doing that.
No other map does that on my system so I do not think it is my own problem.

For fun I shot a hole into each Gel square - looked like Popsicles . . . or maybe one of those multicolored rubbers - LOL

Ha... that's odd. Maybe it's because you're playing in fullbright... Although you said paint doesn't do that for you on other maps... Glad you had fun though!

I liked the level overall, as it made me think for a bit. So many options, which to choose?

I didn't like having to paint the gels with a bunch of portals. An angled surface behind the grates would do the trick.

You could make it a little brighter and a little smaller without losing any of its good traits.

Once you set the first cube, you can escape to the exit without solving the rest of the puzzles by reportaling. Make the portal material on the floor by the exit too small to reportal to fix this.

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:

Huh? Howso? Do you mean getting to the map? That would be "map vst_v1" I think. If you mean the actual elevator isn't working... it is. I've tested it and so have several other people.

I'm having the same problem as Nexif. I start in the elevator and everything outside of it is black. There's no movement, dialog, or any sort of prompting. I gave it a minute, thinking it was creating some sort of ambiance, but nothing happened. It looked like Djinndrache had the same problem; he uses a cheat to leave the elevator and get to the test start.
