Three-parter scenario in canonical Clean, comprises two short chambers introducing a bigger third. Those were quick affairs, each just a single movement puzzle; CH3 felt instead more fleshed out, lasting and built better with several item interactions and testing elements involved.

Much player exchange and some screw-ups bagged us some 15 mins. If I may suggest, those walls as gray as the floors\ceilings could use more contrast (black, or emboss): also consider a cube overquest for those fly-by first two chambers. Overall, good job.

Thanks, I'll try to find a way to add that "companion cube" quest somehow

Chamber 3 is now slightly more complex

Didn't add "a cube overquest" yet, maybe another map!

An interesting and refined selection of easy maps, visually appealing and thought out.
The first chamber is an enjoyable time trial that involves using the propulsion gel in two ways at once (as a horizontal velocity changer as well as a vertical). My only criticism for the first chamber is that it's mostly a single player puzzle that is simply taking advantage of the two extra portals from player two.
The second chamber was very similar to chamber one, except we're now racing against a laser wall. The moveable laser wall is a unique addition to the assortments of "penalty" devices the game already contains. The most interesting part of this chamber is how player one has to listen to the moving wall when transporting the left behind player, rather than see the actual device.
The last chamber was the most developed in terms of complexity and map design, but losing the redirection box can be a pain and tedious due to its puzzle set-up. Otherwise, a nice chamber and puzzle.

Keep up the good work.

Liked the map, first chamber was very good for it's fairly rarely used mechanics (although the button seemed a little bit high for the speed at which you come out the portal), second chamber was a bit finicky but still quite reasonable, third took us about 3 minutes longer than it should have due to us stupidly not noticing something.

Nice map overall. A small glitch: I got stuck in the movable glass plate in the first chamber, had to use noclip.

I'm playing custom maps and record my first time of playing them. So the run is not perfect and may not use only intended ways, but maybe it can let you see how other people may understand the map or you could just enjoy someone playing this map for entertainment.
Anyways, here is the recording:

I watched your video, it was great

Also, I uploaded the map to the workshop! (And made small tweaks to the last chamber)

Well I really liked these chambers when I saw the coopcrowd video. Watching most of these videos, most players don't go into the funnel over the goo while holding the lazer cube, instead do it simply from a safe spot. It seems so much cooler while doing it in the funnel. That might've been my favourite part of the map. Don't you want to prevent that? You could just get rid of other portable surfaces...

Yeh, I actually changed that to the workshop version.
