Hey guys. I was wondering if I could get some constructive criticm for my map I entered. I'm not planning on winning but I do want to see what people thought of it.

Okey.

You had some good testing elements, however they were quite easy to solve. I wish you had expanded on that and made it longer.

I hated the looks, to orange dark, it just did not fit my eyes. My suggestion would have been to stick to either classic design or portal 2 design, which look good, so it would have been a good known field.

Yeah I realize the map is really short and that was due to me spending too much time refining each area. The orange look I personnally like a lot and I'm tired of the classic portal/"portal 2" look. Could you explain in more detail what you didn't like about the style? I'm glad you tried it and best of luck with your map.

Orange coloring annoyed me but map was fine.

Although short indeed, I actually liked the more orange look to everything.

I bet if you had more time you could have extended things a bit, and made the puzzles harder.

The save and restart did not work for me. There appears to be no autosave and the F6 save did not restart on F9. The saved pictures for both were there in Load but they didn't restart that game point, went back to beginning...
I went thru the map to the first green cube and then had to interrupt play. After the second time through I quit this one and moved on to the other entries. I'll come back later....sorry.

Well, the orange lighting was very dark, so there was enough light. Also, you ommitted many details like a ligth rail for the scafold. The texturing looked quite bad. All the time about the same size metal boxes, which just made it look dull. I had a difficult time to look around. Like, I dunno, it just did not please my eyese, it look plain and dull to me. Like there was no contrast, no break of the pattern to make it more interesting.

Nice map. I loved the [spoiler]timed-bomb sphere[/spoiler]. Other than that, I basically agree with what Motanum said. This map needs more polishing and attention to detail. But it was fun and that is what counts

It was ok. In the second part the sphere glitched through the ground, so after finding out the saving/loading doesn't work I had to go back through the first puzzle again to find it happen again. I noclipped, but only because I couldn't see how to solve it due to this seemingly puzzle breaking bug.

Other than that it was pretty ok. You could definitely have elaborated on the mechanics, but what you did with them was all right.
