Description
This is my very first map that I have ever created in any sort of mapping program so haters are gonna hate. For my first map it's actually fairly good. The object of this test chamber is to collect the 3 weighted storage cubes so as to open the exit door. It's fairly simple really.

Nicely done. It's clean, pretty damn straightforward and well scripted. I do like the fact that you used good ol' Glados (I am yet to figure out how the hell I put her into my own maps, but that's another story).
Use more "doorstates". Indicator lights are fine, but I'm sure we all love "doorstates". 
I am looking forward to some more maps. Make it more challenging next time.
Nicely done - took about 10 minutes to figure out, but I did spend some time just playing around. 
The button closest to the entrance (the one that creates the angled panel) doesn't appear to be necessary. I obtained that cube by simply putting blue gel all over the floor, dropping from a ceiling-portal, and hopping up to the cube. Other than that though, everything seems to be quite well done. I can't tell you how thankful I was for the water spout after I accidentally gelled my cube. God damn those things are hard to get a hold of.

hehe, the water one was a last minute addition as i kept thinking about whether people would splash the paint on their perfectly good cubes. I'm probably going to start a new map now rather than try to patch it as I have spent way too much time patching that map before I even released it, lol

Thanks xD I never realized how satisfying it was to produce a map and just have people download it, let alone give feedback
Looks are to be appreciated, but there's no challenge whatsoever. Either you consider this a map for paint beginners (think first chamber of Old Aperture) or a playground with loose goals. Memo: add puzzles.
Pretty easy, dropped onto angled surface and portaled in floor for fling to #2no need for the gel You can jump from top of columns to third cube. Very nice map, still could use some tweaks to cut out shortcuts. Thanks for creating.
Nice map. The thing where the panels slide back so you can get the companion cube (the topmost one) is a little glitchy though. Needed to place that cube in the recepticle a lot of times till all the panels opend up (most of the times only the lowest row opend, so I had no idea what to do - didn't know it was supposed to open all the way to the top at that point).
Fun map, good for beginners, and i did it the way it was suppose to be solved XP
BUT the gel/water was kidna weird, i couldn't tell what was going on with that. I did use the blue gel, but it was transparent...yeah weird

yeah i realize now that it was way too easy. Probably gonna try and come up with some more difficult ideas
I liked it, had a lot of the feel of portal 1 maps (with gel) in that its very open, lot of portable surfaces and while there is an intended solution, its not the only one and the alternatives are arguably more advanced maneuvers to pull off. Was fun, look forward to your next one.
This didn't take me very long at all to figure out (although I guess I am a fairly advanced portlier, so don't feel bad) . I'm not sure what's up with the repulsion gel, I never actually needed it....There might be an unwanted solution that I found, allowing me to skip the gel. If you could just reply and say what the gel was for (in spoiler tags, of course) we can try to eliminate that.

The gel was meant to be used to spray on both of the panel walls so that the player could bounce to the top and get the companion cube but there was an easy way where the player could just pop a portal at the top and jump across. The gel was then meant to be used to jump onto the partially raised platform, then put some onto the angled ramp, then jump of the raised platform and onto the gel to get enough height so that you could then use portals to drop onto the angled ramp and fling onto the platform with the 3rd cube
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:
