They are actually brown / black. It was a problem with the non-existing cubemaps, which I added in the new Version. I hope they work now.

- Some portal placement helpers would be nice in a map that relies so heavily on flinging, it's annoying to fly through your portal and see the camera turn around which makes you fail at shooting the next portal.
I know what you mean, but that problem was caused by the panels which were hanging on the wall. They looked a little bit to the top.
Now they look down and the camera doesn't flip around anymore.

- Like Djinndrache said the rooms are too small for flinging
Could you (two) tell me exactly what is wrong with the size? I don't see a problem...

- Nice that you made the flying easier with the trigger_catapults, but in the section with the small room with the hole in the glass it actually made the map more difficult. I hardly got a chance to shoot my portal at the floor and pick up the cube again because I was smashed at the floor by the catapult. If you want to keep the catapult entity I would suggest at least making the room bigger.
If you want to grab the / a cube while flying you are doing it wrong. There's never a problem with the catapults, like, as you said, smashing to the ground.

[spoiler]I did however bypass the fling in the 2nd room. Put portal on angled block.. go back up stairs to ledge put portal in floor and fling using that surface.[/spoiler]
I know about that second solution and I don't think there's a problem with it. The glascube is only there to get some speed in a more complex looking way.

Nah I decompiled one of the official underground maps and copied the timer out of there. But yes, in the end it's same.
