[Release] Conundrum
Greetings all,
I've just finished / released my debut Portal map. It was highly fun to make, so I plan to make more in the future.

Conundrum provides a diversity of puzzles experienced over the course of 4 chambers. The goal of Conundrum is to provide a fun and thought provoking experience for the average Portal player while still being appealing for the more hardcore Portal player as well.
Please feel free to email me at @gmail.com">clancy.powell@gmail.com with your feedback! I'm always interested in what people think is fun and what needs work. This is my first Portal map and I plan on designing more in the future.
Finally a nice map for an average portal player like me: no timing puzzles, no impossible flings. Just the good old puzzles we like 
I just couldn't figure out how to get on the platform in the third puzzle (with the deadly water), nowhere to get enough momentum. And I think I have discovered a little bug: the indicator sign leading from the switch on the platform (in the same chamber) in its original state, was randomly switching on and off (from X to V 
) for some miliseconds...
I lol'd in the turret chamber (who has already played this map alrady knows why 
)
PS: I did not have to murder my companion cube? 
(percentage calculation sphere self-test failed!)
108.1% done, -8.1% remaining...
Released here!
All maps for Portal (1/2) worth playing are mirrored here.
Thanks for your write up 
The solution to that platform in the third chamber is a bit obscure (maybe a touch too obscure). I'll look into that X to check mark bug when I get some time. Glad you liked it!
Yes, I think that was the only thing harder than "medium". But most people will probably figure it out. (Hint: no fling.)
)LOL that was also great; forgot to mention that in the download page comment. I love original humour in maps

This was really quite good. Like the other people said, the platform puzzle was quite hard. The rest of the puzzles were a breeze for me, but that one took a good 5 minutes or so. From what the solution is, I think it was the layout of the level that made it hard, but I cannot see any way to change it without reducing the difficulty to something a child could do. So well done.
I suck at portal,
so you can think i wouldn't get past the second level
Here's a couple screenshots Mek posted if you're interested in getting past the second chamber with a little help.

Hint: you don't need to do the first picture in the slide show, but it is a different solution that works.
Well done, I thought this was a fantastic map, it was well conceived and executed. There was nothing in the map which I found hard (no exotic flings or timers), medium is right.
Enjoyed it immensely - thanks for creating for those of us who can't map....just play.
Yeah, I liked the map as well. It was good and creative and not too hard. Where did you guys lol exactly?
I've had that jumpy indicator light problem in many custom maps, including my own, and even in Portal: Prelude. I've come to assume it's just my graphics card not liking toggled textures.
