This coop map consists of 3 testing chambers and features different kind of testing elements. It is not very long map though and maybe not all that tricky, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless!

I just thought that this version does not have a lot of signs in it, so I am most likely going to add signs to future versions.

Nice maps.

But Lp and me didn't solve number one correctly apparently. We managed to funnel behind the turrets and just grab them. Only after that we found the laser cube and the laser button.

Number two was pretty nice.

The crusher in number three was pretty nice. But after pressing the bridge button and getting one person inside the final room, the cube is not needed anymore. The portals you could use to bring the cube out can just be used by the second person to get up there and leave the level. Is that intended?

Not bad maps but the first one had low visibility - on the button issue - the laser button was hard to locate - liked the 2nd map - but didn't really have to use all the elements there - 3rd map was clever - that went fairly fast. Thanks for making!

Redunzl and I recorded our playthrough for you. It isn't our blind run, on which we killed the turrets before we discovered the laser, just like zivi7 said.

EDIT: Playthrough video redacted due to being out of date. Version 1.25 recorded, see post below.

We didn't enjoy the first BTS part, because it was very hard to see the portal surfaces. We didn't spot the angled panel for a very long time. The main obstacle was there were too many catwalks clogging up our lines of sight.

From there on, things looked much better to us. It took us a little while to sort out the second chamber, but once we found all the pieces, it was a fairly easy puzzle.

The last chamber played much easier than it looked. Even on our blind run, we whizzed right through it.

Overall, the looks were good except for the BTS area, but the puzzles were on the easy side. On a positive note, they were cooperative puzzles. There wasn't much of one player standing around while the other did most of the work. We enjoyed playing it, but we think it could be improved. We give it a 3/5, almost a 4.

Thanks for feedback!

BTS part yeah, I agree that is is quite cluttered, going to make it more open in next version.

zivi7, well... you did not solve the puzzle correctly . Going to make that last puzzle harder to solve.

E: Making new version right now!

E2: Added signs, made BTS area less cluttered, modified 2nd area and added puzzle element, modified 3rd area and added puzzle elements. I'll upload new version soon.

Here's my playthrough, it is blind.

Thought it was good, the layout of the first room was a bit strange but didn't have any problem with the placement and visibility of that angled surface. Really nothing bad to say. I'd say a solid 4/5.

Did not know that you were playing it and I made the newer versions quite recently so it wasn't really anyone's fault

Redunzl and I played version 1.25 of your map. You definitely fixed the exploits we used last time. There was a little improvement in the puzzles in the second chamber, and the third chamber was slightly more challenging. Overall, it was a worthwhile effort to fix up this one. If we could rerate this map now, it would be 4/5.

P.S. We've redacted the recording of the old version.

I think we also played the old version of the map for our blind gameplay recording, so we also might have finished the last chamber in a way not intended, but still a very fun and very good map.
We will have to play more maps by MrLate.

We did our gameplay by chambers, so here are the links for the rest of them:

Iviv and LyLy here, and we played Tricky Triple! We really liked this map. Well designed and really nice puzzles.

However, we did glitch the exit about 23 minutes into the first video. It opened before we actually finished the puzzle. We went ahead and finished up anyway XD
