Okay, I seriously need some help with this one. I'm still stuck at Part 1 puzzle 1...

From what I understand I'll need to put the first cube on the button in the metal "house" on your right (seen from the entrance). I'll need to get the cube in from the roof since all the other sides are blocked one way or another. I'll need to stand on the button inside the house or the cube will be dissolved by the field. So I'll need to make the cube follow me somehow, but my portals disappear once I go through the field. So I have to get the cube go through the portals somehow, jump through the field once it out of the portal, go down and press the button, disabling the field before the cube reaches it and then I'll have the cube? I'm guessing you're supposed to activate that button first since it's marked with one dot...

Maybe there is an easier way to it, but if it's this complicated then I'll have no chance in hell to pass the other chambers xD

@Logic: I might not have done it the absolutely correct way (see posts above), but at least my first step was right: Try to find a way to get both the cube and yourself up on the highest platform. You'll have to make use of the funnel and the timer surface in the middle for that.

The exit door of the final laser room was glitchy. Since I don't spoil anything by adding it here, I attached a screenshot.

I always put a delay between opening the door and the areaportal in the trigger's output but obviously it isn't long enough. Might depend on the hardware/performance; I've never experienced that problem in that way. Might do it wrong, though. I will try to find a workaround for that.

As for your solution I have to take a closer look at that this evening. At first read it doesn't sound anything like the intended solution, though.

In room 274 I made a stupid mistake: Dots 3 and 4 are meant to be solved the other way around. Will fix that ASAP.

heyy, how do you get to put the cube in the X button in the first map? not only its impossible to get the cube there because of that kind of fizzler that doesnt allow cubes to pass through, but also the button is wrapped in some metal bars that i think the cube wont fit in, hellp

Yes! Finally did Chamber 1! This has to be one of my happiest Portal moments ever:
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198002380422/screenshot/595842621584623118

The rest was comparatively straightforward, I thought. I really liked how the last bit worked out. Sadly I've got things to do, or I'd go straight onto the next three....

Pretty sure what I did was the intended way, as aside from taking a few attempts to reach the top with the cube it was relatively easy to execute.

Of course not. As no other player has experienced that issue before you, that might be caused by something related to your game, or your pc...

I was thinking that would be impossible too for a while. But it's not of course. First hint: There is a portal-able surface in there. Second hint: It can only be shot from one of the four sides.

Anyone planning on uploading a playthrough? I can't even complete the first puzzle in the first chamber... -.-

@Logic: Don't give up. It's so much more rewarding when you finally manage to do it yourself (although I have to admit that I give up too early on many puzzles myself). Did you manage to get the cube and yourself up by using the funnel?

Depends.

Do you mean the highest platform above the cube-button? I've gotten up there once before, I just can't remember how I did it. I've gotten the cube up there once as well, but not in a logical way. I know I have to use the funnel in the middle area, but that only takes me so far. Halfway up there is no place to put a portal to that I can ride the funnel any higher...

Try to find out how you got up there again. Then find a way to do it together with the cube. I've recorded how I did this part, but the upload will take a long while. Also, I'll ask neco for permission to post it here first. If you want to have a look anyways, I can send you the link later.

@neco: Now that I've recorded this part, I'll try to record those obviously unintended solutions I posted earlier, too.

I'd like to see the video x) I'm all for figuring out puzzles on my own, but I feel like I'm missing out on something to be able to solve this one :/

This is a very nice pack! The visuals are awesome and the puzzles seem very nice too.
Sadly in some cases the design makes it very hard to see whats going on... For example the windows are very hard to see. ( Map3)

I think I solved every map unintended so I'll upload my firstrun solution later.
There are some issues that I don't like (You will see in my video) but overall this is a great pack and I had lots of fun playing this so I give it a 5.

I was working all weekend and I've been dying to give this a shot since I saw it listed. It didn't disappoint! I've only had a chance to do puzzle 1 so far, but it's been great! Liking the unique design, the difficulty level, the custom elements.. all fun! I sure as hell didn't solve it the intended way - I could see what was expected, but it was too fiddly... so this counts :p

I've not got enough space to hold the uncompressed recordings for every level, so might as well post part1 for now

I don't think sicklebrick's solution is intended

I'm really enjoying your map. I solved the first chamber yesterday and I will continue to second one later today if I have time. People seem to be stuck in chamber one so I will be uploading my solution really soon. I just have to wait until the rendering and uploading finishes.

Edit: Still uploading the first video and I decided to try out the second one. I found a way to skip most of the second chamber and I'm uploading a video about it now. I will leave it uploading and try the third chamber next

You couldn't find a more ninja solution, sicklebrick?

But since the first solutions are coming, I'll post my way to get up the funnel, too. It does not contain the next step to get the cube into the button 1 area though.

Nice way of getting the cube up there zivi7! In order to emmbed your video you should have to pick only the video ID (in your case I guess that ID would be C2E_INEDIVk), and put it between youtube and /youtube but adding brackets [].

Thanks josepezdj, got it sorted out now.
I added some more solutions and moves that felt unintended or glitchy.
