Released
Blue
The map is very straightforward and focuses on strengthening your portal skills. It is intended for intermediate to advanced portalers. The techniques REQUIRED to solve the test chamber are "Cube Throwing" and "Self-fabricated momentum". Note: "Self-fabricated momentum" is a term that I just came up with. It may or may not be correct. How to perform "Self-fabricated momentum": 1. place both portals on a flat surface. 2. jump in one of the portals and begin looping. 3. at the exact moment that you enter the portal while looping, shoot the same colored portal as the one you are entering (This should give you some air if done correctly). 4. Continue repeating the previous step until you reach the desired altitude.

Hello, World! This is my first public release ever, however i've been mapping for a while This is a collection of maps that I started working on the day after I beat Portal 2 There are six tests, four of them are strung together, and two are... different. Hope you enjoy this! Please leave any comments, just be sure to tell me why you did/didn't like it. Thanks!

This is the first map I've made for portal 2, (but not the first map in hammer by a long shot.) I'm still pretty amature, so be kind! I used my own style of recessed lighting instead of that featured in the game. I think it looks nice. Anyhow, this map is short but fun; shouldn't take you more than 5-10 minutes. Have fun!
First Try
Hard Co-op map (v1.0). This should be the final version of the map unless any bugs crop up. Hard map focusing on lasers and lightbridges. Walkthrough up at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=To3aRCAHIEw (Sadly not 1080p since I clicked half-size by mistake in fraps). Hint for first part: [spoiler]You only need to hit with the laser momentarily.[/spoiler] Hint for the second part: [spoiler]The person on the lower side needs to get to the exit first.[/spoiler]
Portal Practice
This my first map for Portal 2. Don't expect something very long or difficult, it was just me getting the hang of things. Judging from playtesters the difficulty is borderline easy/medium so I went with medium. Have fun and remember to give feedback here in this thread! I have to thank Omnicoder,Reepblue, and P0rtal2player for thier help and support. This has been out for awhile but I forgot to upload to ThinkingWithPortals. Sorry for the delay!
The fire of Epimetheus Co-op
This is my second release! This time I was going for a more atmospheric map and yet retain the same puzzle feeling that was found in halls. There are a total of three puzzles in the map, and the last one includes a new portal mechanic. I would say that the map is quite challenging, but should not be impossible, and is able to be solved using critical thinking. NOTE: IN ORDER TO PLAY THE LEVEL CORRECTLY MAKE SURE YOU TYPE THIS INTO THE CONSOLE: sv_cheats 1 allow_mobile_portals 1 V 1.1 fixed minor bug at beginning added frames for all glass panes optimized turret level scaled down brutality and frustration of the turret level made the solution to the turret level a tiny bit easier to see. spoiler for the second puzzle is in the zip(use only if needed) screenshots: http://i.imgur.com/HMhti.jpg http://i.imgur.com/tBVHt.jpg
Firing Range
An easy 2 chamber map involving light bridges, bounce gel, funnels and turrets. First map for portal 2.
Box Puzzle
This is my first Portal map, any tips and criticism would be appreciated.

My second map, contains lasers, buttons, tractor beams, faith plates and a lot of panels.
Purgatorio 01
A single co-operative test chamber and my first. This is also the first map i've ever made to completion, this single co-op chamber should not be too hard to beat for anyone with a good sense of lateral thinking (or sign reading). This is the product of a bet I made to myself to be able to finish a map properly and will hopefully be the first of many. This test chamber is set in the ruined Aperture facility and revolves around the Aerial Faith Plate, Repulsion Gel and Excursion Funnel, among others. Compared to the later co-op test chambers this isn't too hard, but good luck anyway! (So named for Dant?'s Inferno) http://www.youtube.com/v/SRJUQxQ06RY&hl ... &version=3
