Portal Ergonomy 05 : Garkham

@mbrown259 - 9 years later and your 'run backwards' comment saved the day. Thanks!

And thanks @La Petite Magicienne et. al. for creating!

I liked the chamber overall but the last button was far too tedious. I gave it a thumbs down for that. loved the rest of it though

I had difficulty with the last button as well but I found that it worked the first time for me if I just ran backwards. I thought it was a difficult and challengin map and I liked it a lot.

Just reading the comments, i didn't have too much problems with the exit button, turning the propulsion gel on was really hard for me because of the jumping and lags issues.

Last room was a little bit annoying because of the gels of course and there's a chance to get trapped and sometimes the jumps just doesn't work properly, height and direction vary for me, for example, i used the orange gel to run straight into a portal coming out of an angled surface, but it sent me to the very left instead of the center. Anyway, it was a nice chamber, i just hate gels.

Well, I gave this map a thumbs up because it is excellent! However, it was ruined by the last run and jump excercise. IMO one of the most important qualities of a map is to find the sweet spot between hard/challenging and too easy. When a map is logically clear, but needs esoteric mouse moves and clicks to sove it, the ratings will go down.

That last button ruins an otherwise great map!

I didn't need the ball & frankencube in the room with the light bridge, and in the previous room I didn't need the button marked with a star.

Another good map, but I agree that the last pedestal button should not be so hard. After ten attempts the way I think you intended ( using the orange gel to speed through a portal ) I gave up and found another way that worked first time ( up and down through two portals, move a portal under a gel dispenser to reduce the height and then move a portal to the angled plate ).

Amazing series.
