Snakepit [RELEASE]
Finally o/
This map is mostly concentrated around flinging, introducing new techniques, as well as adding on already known techniques.
This is a relatively difficult map, be warned. It "can" take 2 hours upwards to finish (not likely, but it has happened).

(Note that I am using custom-made skins in Portal, so my gun and boxes are black.)
If you find any way to improve this map, please let me know, or just post about what you thought of it.

Good luck, you might just be needing it.

This is a decent speedrun but not really intended solutions. I'll post a video tonight with the intended solutions.
Thanks, I have been looking for a new map. I'll tell you what I think when I am through with it.
Not bad. Took me 24 min to play though and I found it to be moderately difficult.
This map pretty much has it all, which is both a good thing and a bad thing.
The flings are mostly interesting, though a few parts of the map seemed unnecessary to me (at least the way I solved some of the puzzles).
I liked the turret section and how you worked a wcc portion into the middle of the map to break up the pacing, though the incinerator seemed unfinished, which leads to the issues I had with the map...
On top of the incinerator, there were numerous misaligned textures, overlapping textures, visible nodraw textures, inconsistencies in lighting, etc.
I would really encourage you to follow a few design standards when building your levels (e.g. standardized brush sizes) in order to avoid most of these issues (esp when building a level as big as the one you built here).
I really did enjoy it though, and I look forward to your future maps.
P.S. If you fall into the red area below the large fan, portal crashes.
Nice map, but I couldn't get past the second room : (I think that says more about my portalling skills than it does your map :p)
I got to the part where there's a glass wall, a button that deactivates a field on the other side of said wall, and a broken sparking door. No idea what to do from that point on. But I'm tired as hell right now, so I'll give it another shot in the morning.
That was the most confusing part of the map for me, esp since you can skip the button in an earlier room that gives you access to the room with the button on the other side on the glass (See? Confusing.).
And since you can skip it, you have no frame of reference and thus, no clue as to what you are supposed to do.
Yay!
Very hard map, whenever i was solving a puzzle, i think:
"that's not the way who intended to be solved, i'm sure there is another solution"
I want to make a run on this map, but i need more time to learn faster solution.. stay tuned
(I'll stop recording if i die.)

That's a good point. I'll work on fixing that soon.
Overall I liked it, but I have no idea what this button does or what this button does. They're the last two buttons just before the incinerator. I put the box on the big red button, but it didn't seem to do anything (although I heard noises). It wouldn't even let me press the other one.
Also, I'm stuck in the room just after the incinerator. It might be good to add some kind of clue there if possible.

No clues 
also, both those buttons de-activate the forcefields, but they are pretty much useless once you get past them as the grids automatically shut off.
