A hammer series of 5 single player maps in Wheatley style. I left this almost finished for aaaaages so I figured I'd finish it off and post it, here you go. Feedback appreciated.

Yeah great maps, dude. I love maps that seem easy at first glance and end up being mind benders! Subscribed to your workshop, looking forward to more of your stuff

Marvelous puzzles. Well planned and much harder than they look.

Great visuals and overall feel.

5/5

Fantastic stuff, loved every one of these maps. You really nailed the Wheatley style of having lots of space while still keeping a tight focus on the task at hand, and the complexity always came from good solid puzzles rather than throwing tons of different elements at the player. All maps should be like this.

Thanks for the good feedback guys, means a lot.

HOWEVER I must wait for grandmaster LPfreaky's review.

EDIT: I'm seeing some unintended solutions. :/

Hmmmm.... you mean mine? I thought these were so solid that I did the unique way It took me quite some time to solve the whole thing! >.<

Anyways, would you tell me where exactly, and also when will you be able to update it so I can give it another go?

Wow, Jose sent me an excited PM about these a few days ago and they really lived up to his hype
It's pretty rare to get 5 full maps, all done well, with consistently good puzzles and no weak links, but each of these while not crazy hard was a lot of fun to work out, and they feel pretty original!

I thought the visuals were pretty sexy in an understated kinda way, and I liked the sense of space; not too cramped or large. No issues with lag or anything either, yay

Woah! Sickle, I just can't stop watching you using the cubes in midair to double-jump on them to reach ledges! But with the painted frankenturret it's been amazing!

Lol, and that ride beyond the limits in map 5 has been awesome

Fantastic, good looking and fun to solve Map-Pack. Awesome!
It was really nice to solve these maps and puzzles had a good level of difficulty.

@sickle: nice ninja solutions.

Josepez recommended these maps to me this week, and after playing them I have to agree that they are really fantastic puzzles. Definitely spotlight worthy. Here's my playthrough.

I'm not totally sure if I did part 2 correctly. One complaint is that the paint in part 4 doesn't splat when it gets sucked into the orangle funnel source. As a result I had to redo the level to get the proper amount of blue paint.

Really great series, I had the same problem as Mevious though with the paint in part 4.
I kept getting the "oh fiddlesticks" missing sound error every time I used one of your cube droppers. Also in part 1 if you just press the cube to to the end button it plays the end dialougue.

Overall great puzzles with a nice aesthetic and only a few REALLY minor visual discrepancies, some indicator lights are the wrong colour and going across the middle of tiles and stuff but really like it The bts vistas were awesome

I think Part 2 and 3 were probably my favourite of the lot xD I like laser redirections that are all about thought and less about accuracy

Wow.
These puzzles where the best I've played in a very long time, solutions mostly rock solid, with a nice flow and really fun to solve. Perfect wheatley theme, awesome work!!

I would've liked to do a video to show you some stuff but I'm on my lame computer so I'll just write it down instead.

It took me a bit less than half an hour to figure it all out and part 3 went the fastest. I used the ledge up where the laser emitter is but not the opposite one nor the panel by it. Solution is pretty much same I just needed to fizzle the cube twice.

In part 4 I ended up not ever turning of the fizzler and not using the angled panels behind the fizzler. You can get to the cube by jumping off the lightbridge, through the fizzler, and bouncing on bluegel while steering to the right.

Solved part 1, 2, 5 as sicklebrick did, part 2 and 5 was perticularily fun to solve, loved it! These maps are a great opportunity to be creative while solving and it felt really awesomely great to manage!

Thanks for mapping!
