Just did another run through and took some quick notes while playing:

The entry elevator is floating slightly above the elevator base.

There are no light strips in the elevator room walls.

There are black shadows around both elevators, this can be fixed by compiling with the parameter -StaticPropPolys under the $light_exe command. (I had the same problem with my map)

Your observation rooms lights are overly (read: blindingly) bright - do you have an env_tonemap_controller and a shadow_control?

The lift that takes you up the 1st half of the portal gun doesn't make any sound.

On that same lift, if you jump while standing on it, it starts going back down while you are in the air - you should probably make the trigger taller.

At the first double-fan fling, there is a piece of protruding wall that the player can easily get stuck on when flinging across the gap by the 2nd fan.

In the final room, you can run and jump across the top of the toxic goo, bypassing the need to fling.

Also, great map. 🙂

<Duffers> I'm interested to hear this
<msleeper> [spoiler]i didn't use the rocket turret to get the upgraded portal gun,[/spoiler] so i used that button orange portal that is in the corner of the main room
<msleeper> hopped through it as soon as it opened
<msleeper> shot the blue portal on the wall in the hallway leading up the the fan area
<msleeper> jump BACK through the orange portal before it auto-closed
<msleeper> and got suck :3
<msleeper> stuck
<Duffers> well you're an idiot in that case.
<msleeper> haha

New screens up.

I'm sorry, if those are the best screens you can take, I'm not interested. It seems like you're basing most of the puzzles in small rooms that only feature one or two tasks.

Also, what's up with the name? I'm not seeing any rainbows.

Never said you had to play it.

I'd also like to know what's up with the name. I see neither rainbows or a palace...

Anyway, great map. Some interesting new concepts, very few problems, perfect difficulty and length, and good use of music. Enjoy your $50!

There is no meaning to the name, I'm just a goof.
