This was clearly a PTI map exported and almost touched up.
you didn't add cube maps so reflections are terrible. Its not even a puzzle.
obvious fling->drop cube on button->funnel to a button to push->lay down speed gel->portal to it->fling-> push button-> redirect laser with portals-> walk to exit

it sounds like a lot, but my first play through took about 1 min 20 seconds (exaggeration).

it you will let me quote the rules...

I got in, put a portal on the white panel beneath and other on the groundpanel to the left, flung myself to the button, it opened the enddoor... 1/5

What everyone else said, plus you can fall through the floor into empty white nothing by the white panels next to the exit.

This is my playthrough of this map. In order to not influence the opinion of anyone, I won't say what I think about this map yet. Have fun watching the video and get your own opinion about the map for now

My feedback:
Do not read if you are judge!

||Everything about this map was horrible. It looked like someone had puked over a PTI map exported to hammer.

The puzzles were way too easy and I didn't have to think about how to solve any puzzles whatsoever / wasn't rewarding. The best bit about it was finishing it.

The white wall made my eyes hurt... thank goodness its over.||

Josh you brought this on your self by either not reading the rules or just ignoring them. This contest really was for the more experienced mappers, and rules were designed to keep a map like this one out. But you brought it here anyways.

You're right. I didn't read the rules correctly. I though you could take a PTI map and edit it in Hammer, but I guess I was wrong. Sorry.
