@rketch, Thank you! It pleases me when someone gets enjoyment from something I created.

Your maps are the most creative I've ever played on Portal 2, They're challenging - beautiful - and fun to play. Thanks

Would be nice with a respond button on each comment like YouTube has, as well as ability to like comments.

Good map, got stuck on the last part because I didn't look up, so I didn't see the portal plane there

@Just Monika, Thank you for finding that. Unfortunately I cannot edit any maps right now as my PC is down, but I will get to it... when I can. Thanks for playing.

In the second "test chamber," you can easily pass through the broken wall with the broken catwalk behind it by jumping on the sphere, and I can't tell if there's a way to get out. Maybe put an easter egg there? Otherwise, that broken wall needs collision.

@office, what is the not-fitting ball?

You can replace the not-fitting ball with a box.

@Virgil, the thumbnail? You mean the title card image here in the workshop? I have an old copy of Paint Shop Pro.
Sam022OFC 26 Sep, 2020 @ 10:49am 
How do you made the thumbnail???

@portal addict, its a repost. I had to take the maps down and have reposted them.
portal addict 20 Jul, 2020 @ 11:25am 
It seems I've played this before. Is this some kind of remake?
hfmanson 20 Jul, 2020 @ 5:22am 
Nice map!

Very well done again, a great adventure map with some thoughtful puzzle solutions. I did recognize much of the map which was posted previously. It worked then and now as well? Oh well thanks for recreating - I enjoyed it again and forgot how to solve much of it.

Fun map.
DeathWish808 15 Jul, 2020 @ 1:54pm 
LOL, I was just talking about portals under droppers in the last map I played and then I did it in yours on purpose.
I fixed it by killing myself... An eye for an eye.
Fun map, thumbs up!

This was a pretty grate map! : )

Another good set of puzzles! I remember the originals but not in any detail so had to re-solve.:bigups:
Volian0 14 Jul, 2020 @ 2:15am 
Nice map with good visuals!
"Maps with Deficiencies" collection is so pointless, it only discourages mappers from mapping. But it's just a collection made by some "unofficial critic of the Portal 2 Workshop", so don't worry about it and keep creating. :)
Shinval  [author] 13 Jul, 2020 @ 6:18am 
This is a repost of this map as I had to take it down to remove it from a blacklisting collection by wildgoosespeeder called Maps with Deficiencies.

SPOILERS: I will post a link to this YouTube video by a fan. I cannot endorse all of the solutions here as they are not always my intended solutions, but it may help you. Always remember nothing is brute-force-able and everything is logical and clearly labeled. Walkthrough
