Moved. It is generally good form to copy the description and screenshots into the release thread.

ok. firstly. this map looks really good. and aside from a few MINOR texture issues i didn't see anything that looked really bad. there are however a few errors that i found. from the VERY start of the map. i would normally put spoiler tags on these, but as they don't really effect gameplay (except negatively) i won't this time

errors:
1) in the opening of the map. all is black... if you push ANY of the direction keys while its black... then when you "awake" from the vault you cannot move. you have no choice but to restart the map.

2) if you leave the opening room BEFORE getting the portal gun, you are screwed you have no choice but to restart the map.

also the energy ball puzzle is much easier to beat if you do this [spoiler]http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/237/theelectriccastle0000lt1.jpg[/spoiler] don't know if that was intentional, or you didn't think of it. but its how i beat the puzzle first (before doing it the right way)

and this is more of a gripe than an error. but i didn't think this looked right. the floor just looks to "thin" for a big metal texture

other than those things i think you did a good job. keep up the good work.

Thanks for the advice, I meant to set the door in the first room to open on touch in case you forgot the portalgun, but I must've forgotten -.- also, thanks for the 'solution' to the first chamber. I'll stick a noportal area over that for the next release but I won't have much time for the next few weeks. Hopefuly I'll manage to grab a moment to upload a new version next weekend

My quick review:

Looks amazing. Definitely keeps with the Aperture theme.
The fizzler/solid wall mechanism was sweet. Some more of those puzzles would be great if you make another
One gripe I had: The blood-smeared floor below the blue wavy energy wall made me think that the blue energy would kill me. The falling sparks added to it.

Overall, great map!!!!

I agree! Thought it was a great map, loved the new fizzler puzzles, especially the moving one.

The one gripe similar to rellikpd's was in the room with the blood on the ground that Talgoran mentioned if you bring the cube thats on the button inside there's no way to get out. I got to the button [spoiler]without the cube of course[/spoiler] but then I had to restart the map.

This was a fun map. I believe I found an unintended solution in the room with the mobile fizzler though.
[spoiler]you can fire a portal through that gap, then walk through the wavy blue fizzler behind you to the area where the stairs rise out of the floor and place the opposite portal there.[/spoiler]
