I'm not a moderator, but I can act like one!

There are small differences like better lighting and water added to clear of the paint on the cube.

But this is definitely a repost and judging from the information about the map he probably doesn't even realize that he uploaded the map a while back x)

GLADOS CUBE: You should have updated instead of reuploaded

Good map, the puzzle works pretty well. The texture for the acid pool for me is just showing up as flat white. It kills fine though. I definitely liked the design and structure of the map, though i found the water dispenser to be very much redundant and I think the whole portal flinging bit to disable that one fizzler is superfluous to the puzzle as a whole. I definitely do like maps where theres a bit of a surprise at the end though where you realize you have to go back and sort of repeat things but a bit differently (in this case bringing the cube).

Im going to try and get a run up on youtube as soon as i can get stuff working

Just finished my playthrough. I'll have a video of me solving it up on youtube soon, but it's 15 minutes long so the upload will take a while.

Really like this map, provided a nice challenge without making me want to quit. Couple things I wanted to note, though...

1) When I finally made it up to the platform with the exit door on it and saw that I needed to have brought a redirection cube with me, that was pretty frustrating. There was no way for me to know ahead of time that I would need to bring that along with me, and finding out that I would need to solve the entire puzzle again to bring the redirection cube made me feel somewhat cheated.

2) I wasn't sure if I ended up flinging myself up on the platform the right way. I felt like I had the right idea, but I kept stopping just short of getting on the platform, and I was only able to find success by randomly bouncing around on gel to get enough speed and then fling myself out the portal. I'm guessing that wasn't the intended solution. You'll be able to see specifically what I'm talking about when my video uploads.

If you address these two things, I think you have a really professional map on your hands. Only other thing I could mention is to think about adding some music to it, but I could say that to 90% of the maps on TWP.

Video will be here whenever it finishes uploading:

Thanks for the map. It is pretty easy though. I didn't need to paint and clean the cube, which must have been your intention

I love smallish flingie maps, and this one was good
The puzzle was on the easy side, but it wasn't cramped and all the extra white panels made everything seem brighter and more open while soaring through the air. I think I took quite a roundabout route, 'cause my cube randomly fizzled once or twice as I took it through the wall near the acid pit but no biggie.
Thanks =)

Edit:
Now I think about it... the acid is quite close to the floor, I probably just had the cube pointing down or it rubberbanded through the portal and clipped the dissolve trigger. Nvm

Nice map. Maybe a little bit easy for my taste but I liked the idea.

Fun, short and easy puzzle. Unlike others, I kept the cube with me but was afraid to close the first portal with the laser pass through. I saw the catcher high up on the wall near the end but didn't see the second laser near the end. Look forward to the continuation.

I enjoyed your map, refreshing and very doable...The only downside I thought was that when you finally get up to the upper level, you realize that you should have brought the cube through down below...had to reclimb. Nice work, I didn't see this in WIP, so it was new for me...Thanks for creating and fixing in WIP - it all worked nice...

Feels like a d?j?-vu. Did you just randomly resubmit the map? I feel like I've played this before..
