Description
Updated my map and it has an end. I did a speed run of 2:00 minutes but I estimate it being a 5-10 minute map. I'll add a youtube video later.

Pretty good map. Took me some time to get through it
But I ain't one those pros with gigantic IQ anyway 
Found a couple of bugs (I think they're bugs):

No info on the board. You properly just haven't made that yet?

Don't know if this is intended... But you can shoot a portal past those glass plates.

You can bring a cube with you from the first room. Makes it easy to block the laser in the next room.
Other then that... Me likes 
It was pretty good, but you can get stuck in the pit in front of the final button.
Hey there.
Thanks for sharing this map.
all I found:
- textures over and under the elevator looks weird
- level info shows "00" - "none"
I really like the puzzles, good work here.
Hope to see more maps from you.

Very easy to stuff up, i got the cube covered in paint, and that was it, couldnt put it on anything after that!

You can destroy the cube at entrance of that level-part.
Nice puzzle. I recorded a demo of me playing first time through.

Nice map! Cool idea with the two seemingly unrelated test chambers. It really gives you the Portal vibe.
There's a few things I think you should look into however
As noted above you can get stuck in the pit in the last chamber if you go there before the floor arms are raised.
But also you will get stuck if you get repulsion gel on the cube, as it will not be able to sit still in front of the laser.
I won't call them bugs, as I feel [spoiler]traps play a role in test chambers, but there's actually a few ways you could change this to be more enjoyable:
1) The "friendly" solution would be to simply provide a way out of the traps, i.e provide a water source to wash the cube if it accidentally gets gooped, and provide a portal surface to get out of the pit.
2) The "punish your mistakes" solution would be to set a checkpoint before the test chamber, and provide a way to kill yourself if you get stuck.
Updated my map and it has an end. I did a speed run of 2:00 minutes but I estimate it being a 5-10 minute map.
I'll add a youtube video later.
