My first Portal map, and the first time I've used Hammer since 1999. Please give me feedback, and let me know how you solved it and if you found any exploits! Thanks! :D

wow, after the 5th custom map i can't do one puzzle on i have finally realised im shit at portal

:cry:

i'm pretty sure i was able to cheat and finish the map without doing the energy ball puzzle, or opening half the doors.

you may want to fix this if it wasn't intentional. i'll go back now and try to figure out the real puzzles. nice looking map. i really like the fast moving energy ball, that was fun and dangerous!

edit: after finishing the ball puzzles

there is a screen shot to show where. i found so many ways through this level; what was the intended solution?

Took me a while to finish it, i did this by luck but i finished it legitly.
Add sounds to the catcher so when it catches it you know if it does.

great map though, definitely some thought put into that :)

This is a very nice looking map, good varied textures, nice lighting, etc. You've even used the accent textures (hazard icons, arrows, "dice" markers on puzzle elements).

I only know that because I used noclip, because the first flinging puzzle has me stumped cold. Sorry to say I'm not having much fun trying to figure it out because the only two things that seem to happen are (1) I stay on the starting side of the glass or (2) I die in toxic goo.

Basically the hardest part of this map is right at the beginning, and the penalty for failure is death. Not to put too fine a point on it, but it seems like everyone who plays this map is going to die two or three times right away. Don't scare your fans away, right? At the very least I suggest you change the goo to something nonlethal, if you can do it without breaking the whole puzzle.

Or maybe I'm just rubbish at Portal, too.

Cr00ked.

Hmm, I'm not sure what you mean by this, care to explain?

[edit]Ah crap, I forgot to no-portal the floor in between the glass. Is that what you mean?
