I've just uploaded my first map I've ever made with hammer to the downloads section. It's still a WIP, I have added no lights / cubemaps yet, and a couple of the textures still need slight tweaking. Let me know what you think about it, and if you find any bugs / easy solutions.

Screenshots:

Added dl link. ~espen180

Edit: Thanks espen.
I've updated the map to include lights and changed the second room, and added in extra fizzlers to make the flinging puzzles not incredibly easy.

Edit 2:
I THINK I've fixed this so the missing texture problem should be resolved, and people can actually play the map now... let me know if it's still bugged

Same.

I solved the solution same as Shmitz and Ralph.

Also, I could not for the life of me solve the final fling puzzle. I just cannot seem to gain enough height or momentum or whatever to get going. I am going to post my full review in the Contest thread when I unlock it.

Hehe same experience here. Couldn't figure out how to get the energy ball into the catcher except by playing energy ball pong. And the final fling puzzle I simply couldn't make work, so I wallclimbed to the exit... :oops:

your map is very creative, the last jump, I couldn't shoot 2 portals on the floor fast enough and had to give up

another thing, your fizzle fields don't dissolve the box, so I completed the second part with the combine ball

while fixing the fizzle fields wont necessarily prevent this, when I jumped through with the box, I ran through one, and the box remained. it might make this harder to do

Hmmm. Not the intended solution at all. It is possible to do the ball catcher puzzle without the box... and I guess I forgot to check the right flags in the fizzlers Oh well, try and solve the ball puzzle without the box =P

Also, I don't know why everybody has so much trouble with the final fling puzzle.... I'll post a vid of me doing it soon.

i might be missing something with the final puzzle, but it seems too fast.

All you nay-sayers about my last puzzle. Heres a horribly grainy video of me doing it.
Here ya go
