[SP] cube, buttons and one portal

Page 1 of 6Next

This is a one-portal-portalgun level.
I created this map for the portal 2: [url=http://www.moddb.com/mods/back-stock]backstock mod[/url]

It is a small map, medium difficulty and it features a cube, multiple buttons and a funnel! Now with a secret area!

Have fun!
(don't worry if you start without a portalgun by the way!)

Nice... but I didn't need the funnel at all...

Nice little map. And I used the funnel. :p

Oh, that's not really intentional... mind sharing how you did that? :)

Clicked it. Played it. Liked it.

The central chamber had nice warm lighting, nice refreshment from most cold looking maps. In the maps I'm working on I'm using that too. I'll have to admitt, though, that I'm not used to the one portal concept anymore, especially with a funnel added. Completely forgot it wouldn't fizzle - all the time.

Mostly that is why I liked the map. One thing however, is that I didn't really see what triggered what, since there were very few indicator lights. That was a shame, really. Also, maybe the room with the cube and funnel was a tad on the large side... Everything else is great, though.

PS: lp, you working on two mods at the same time now, are ya? :-?

Very nice map! It was challenging but not frustrating, which is to say it was very enjoyable!

Couple of things I noticed:
In the room with the two floor buttons, the light in the observation room seemed to be blue but the light in the chamber was yellow.
The room with the funnel was a little on the large side (though I understand you might need it that way to prevent unintended solutions), and needed some more detail in my opinion.
I also did not need the funnel to get the cube. I can't really think of how to explain it, so I made a short demo of that part.

These things aside, I thoroughly enjoyed playing!

:lol: That's actually a vital part in the puzzle ;)

There SHOULD be indicator lights for every button. both on the floorbuttons and on the normal buttons, I will check this out!
EDIT: fixed in v1.1

Great! That was the difficulty I was aiming for!

Yes, that's strange isn't it? It's one of the default instances though! I will edit this in a newer version.

This room is indeed rather large, I originally planned something else for this room. However, the rest of the map is rather compact, adding a large room will prevent people from getting claustrophobic feelings. In the next version I will add some more decoration to this room...

Always glad to hear that :D

That was very informative, thanks :thumbup:

Nice, short and fairly easy map. Nevertheless, like so many other maps this map would benefit from a more complex puzzle. I like the one portal concept very much as it provides an interesting twist to puzzles. Here, however, the concept is used in a very simple introductionary way and one can rush through the chambers. If this is the beginning of a mappack with increasing difficulty it's a great start. As a single test it's quite interesting but not challenging.
4/5 Thank you for mapping.

My maps: 1 2 3 4 5

One portal concept was interesting, hope that it is used in a more complex puzzle in the mod? As a single chamber map, this was quite good. Thanks for creating and posting, I look forward to the full mod.

I'll try my best to explain how I never used the funnel...
