My second (and final) Portal 1 project. Five chambers, each of which must be played twice. However, each second round has a twist...

This was absolutely bloody brilliant! The very first chamber was a little on the "meh" side, but served fine to introduce your try-anything-twice concept. The rest of the chambers were awesome!

I especially loved the part with all the

I'm kinda hoping you will finish this in Portal 2 so many more will get to try it out :D

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.

That's a good idea, but I'm already well under way with the last chamber, still for the original Portal. It's puzzle-complete now and I'm currently working on the design.

I will probably adapt the whole series for Portal 2 at some point, with some enhancements...
edit: probably not, that would be a HUGE amount of work...

I had that "problem" as well. But there exists a solution. With portals.

No need for a screenshot; I know exactly what you mean. And it's intended :)

Did you know the portal2 betas had a mirror cube? before they made that lame glass orb thing? sweet either way :D

Cool, I didn't know that!
I also started out with a portable mirror, but it was way too difficult to aim accurately. I don't even remember if I decided to make the current cube before or after I saw Valve's laser map demo's :D

I noticed the update in your signature. 😉

Great map! At first I thought I would be apprehensive of having to run though each chamber twice, but the changes made were interesting and appealing. I can't yet give a full review as I am currently stuck on the third (sixth?) puzzle

Can't wait to see what you can do with Portal 2!
