I like the scenery in this map!!
Didn't get the last jump a few times, but then i got it.
Not to difficult, but a nice idea.
Thanks for that

This was very visually interesting and fun. I liked the couple different areas to explore. The puzzle was very easy to follow, and determine the solution. Perhaps if you had several tests such as this progressively getting more challenging you would have a really awesome map. I really like your layout, design and visuals.

Puzzle is solid, but I see people having problems with the last jump unless you create another white floor somewhere else. What brings you down is the room's skin: all those differently themed tiles give off an harlequin vest effect, not to mention all the alignment defects.

Or maybe it's the geometry being too simple for such variety, such as the disarming intro.

Thanks for all comments

how do you make the last jump?

I put portals in the pit below the funnel and on the angled panel, jumped. But it only brought me near the exit: so I repeated the same jump from there (higher) and made it.

if you jumped into the pit from the surface of distant block and missed the exit that's ok.
Last jump was conceived as a jump in the pit from a funnel

I didn't miss, but good to know that wasn't necessary.

I played this map: http://www.justin.tv/ethanol7/b/287431268

I started playing custom maps and record me playing them. It's neither a perfect run nor do I have to have solved the map in the way it's meant to solve it. I play the maps "blind", that means I've never been in them before and play them for the very first time. I also give a little feedback for the map in the video description.

Maybe you are interested in the fact, that I played your map: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vT_TdLPytgM

thx, now i know about another way to solve puzzle

edit: updated map, now it won't be so easy

OH, I found a bug... sorta. Some time after setting the first cube on the button that tilts the wall panel upward, I used a quicksave. Upon reloading, I found that the panel had been reset even though the cube was on the button. I had to go back over there, lift the cube, then set it back down onto the button in order for the panel to tilt upward again.

It's a standard map with medium difficulty. The graphics is excellent and the puzzle is good. A little flaw is that it's easy to get stuck in the beginning when you have no boxes. I did get stuck for 2 or 3 times when I finally got the correct way. Anyway, great work! Come on and we're expecting more challenging maps of you!

Edited: The last jump, in my opinion, was kind of trial-and-error. At first I jumped down from the middle platform and failed; then from the third platform and failed again. Only then did I know that I should jump from the funnel to the pit.

• made the final jump from the distant block impossible

This room was abandoned for a good reason: it wasn't a good test. While the attention to detail in the artwork is commendable, it's overdone to my eye. The puzzle consisted of me floundering around until I ran out of things that didn't work. 3/5 from me.
