You need good skills, creativity and unconventional thinking at some points to solve the Three Stages...

These maps are LONG, HARD, DEADLY and have UNUSUAL puzzle-elements.
Consequently, they are for people which like rather challenging puzzles and they can be (very) frustrating.

I playtested them all myself (others too), they are all solvable and I hope I could spot and remove all "restart-traps".
Please give me feedback; I assure that each comment will be read (by me) :>

l33t sp35k isn't generally speaking a good idea to promote your maps.
It looks extremely unprofessional.

Sorry I found your map too hard, I couldn't bunny hop fast enough (I'm severely bunny hop challenged) to get the turret in the intro map, so I didn't bother to try the rest....
I'm sure others will like them.

I didn't especially. The whole map is full of stuff like that. By the end, you don't feel triumph or even satisfaction, but just exhaustion. Which is too bad, because there are one or two nice puzzles inside. But every puzzle has alot of tedious stuff before it, like riding on the back of a frankencube through a laser field stretched across the ground. I've seen that before and it wasn't any fun the first time.

Kinda mixed feelings here too. Riding the frankencube sucked.. I didn't fall, but it wasn't fun. The last laser puzzle was a bit annoying too, but other than that I enjoyed them, and difficulty level was pretty nice. Will make a start on the 3 actual maps when I feel like a long challenge

To be fair, this isn't really 'leetspeak' so much as that stupid trend that lead to people calling Seven 'Se7en' and F.E.A.R. 3 'F.3.A.R.'...

It isn't leetspeak... did you guys not notice there are THREE stages, therefore the number 3 was used?

@ Lpfreaky90 - thanks for the advice, I guess you know such reactions since you published yourself a map with leetspeak in the title...

@ quatrus - I wrote it nearly everywhere on steam, but I see that I forgot to mention it here... so: you do not need such things like bunnyhopping, strafejumping or the like...

@ RogerL - hm... didn't saw the frankencube riding before (after your post I searched carefully in the download-section of TWP and found a map where that solution appears)... well good to know...

@ sicklebrick - thanks for the constructive feedback... I was a little bit surprised which part was annoying for you, but ok (I would rather expect any other part of the introduction being annoying for someone than that last laser puzzle^^)

@ Aicxe - good to know, so I'm immature and unprofessional... and your reaction as well as the way you are telling me that is very professional and likewise mature... find the hidden sarcasm!

@ UsCobra11 - yes, that was my reason for the 3's... besides, the number 3 appears 3 times in Three Stages if you substitute the e's with threes :>

1. Thanks to D????^C[??]? (stupid name ^^) for his maps! I think your maps are hard und tricky. And thats the point why they are awesome! This map pack is the best.
   ...cube throwing is the one and only move, which is very annoying and too difficult (I hate it! ^^).

2. @Lpfreaky90: Thanks for your objectively opinion! You speak from experience, am I right or am I right?
   I hope he will change his name ...but the "3" act like El Farmerino and UsCobra11 said.

3. @quatrus: You forfeit too fast! :/ ...what a bad Portal Player. The description say, that no bunnyhop is required! And that's the truth!

4. @RogerL: Ok, what a pity, that the map isn't in your style... I don't know why these ideas are bad?! There are so many maps, which are boring and have always the same objects and puzzles. This map pack is a challenge, give it a chance and thinking with portals!

5. @sicklebrick: You will love it! ...please, don't forget to give him extensive feedback. Just thumbs up or down won't help!
   pS: and don't forget to play mine! ^^

6. @Aicxe: YOU ARE THE COOLEST GUY EVER! You can use google to find leet speak generator ...great! But before you flame an user the next time, please, make it better! Good tips like Lpfreaky90 gave are enough, but your brattishness is dumb.
   btw: Your maps (i've played just Introduction to Lasers and Double Dared) are buggy and boring! And the titles? "Introduction to ..." ...what a crap. :/

7. @El Farmerino: Look at the 2. Point, please. Thanks for your try! ^^

8. @UsCobra11: Look at the 2. Point, please. Good guy!

//lol, he wrote an answer shortly before xD

And now the proof, that it's possible!

Introduction:

Stage 1:

Stage 3:

A gameplay for Stage 2 doesn't exist (livestream, sorry).
btw: I'm beta tester and searching always for bugs and glitches (you know me). Therefore I found some glitches in the versions you see in the gameplays, but the solution is possible!
