excellent map..I am glad you haven't posted a walk through as it is tricky, but ultimately solvable..very well done..! best map I've played for a long time..!

@mpagnotta68 At least until you see my newer maps :)

0 files with the name, "levels better than this" exists.

That was a good one!

how do i quick save in the minigame??

@jp that is the solution :)

Great ideas and well done!
I'll have to come back to it because I didn't find all secrets...

In the "cube too cold" room, an alternate solution (maybe more elegant) is to let the dropped cube flinging up and down between its white surface and the laser white surface. This gives plenty of time to go on the button that moves the window...

Fun map with cool visuals, though some parts felt a little too "find the portal surface" for my tastes. Thumbs up.

Great map and original design.

This is incredibly cool! I am very delighted with your work, as I myself tried to do something similar, but you did it much better!

Very thoughtful map and unique puzzles. Something locked when the button would no longer spawn the cube - was trying to make an exit move after lifting the gate but cube did not fall in the center of the portal surface. Oh well I could see the exit. Thanks for creating.

ooh snow

@That Guy who games on a macbook
Sorry about that, I honestly didn't think that far ahead. Thanks for reporting!

Love the visual design, however I ended up softlocked in the second lasercube puzzle because i accidentally emancipated the cube

An absolutely incredible map! Great atmosphere and original gameplay!

Also a great easter egg and I'm thankfull you've added the save option to it ^^

Very well done Hammer maps, with unique mechanic

I'm really divided on whether to like this or not, because while it was unique and I could see that a lot of effort went into it, it was also really annoying to play at times because of confusing goals for the player to reach, odd laser angles and the sliding ice thing. Overall, I can at least say that I appreciate the effort. Thanks for creating.

I meant the icy slide, not the trigger thing.

Quite surprising nice Hammer work, but I think you pushed too much on form over function; the sliding thing gets stale fast and just end up as interference. why in the world would you do that? I only found it out of frustration kept shooting everywhere, and I had to noclip the Uparrow whatever the play suppose to be, I'll have to on account of Hammer but as a puzzle I find it lacking.

@tsum173 Suspension of disbelief

and wait how is the cube to cold you don't evan touch it you use your portal gun to make it float it can't be to cold

how did you make it thoe?

make an easier and i will (it's so hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

@tsum173 Just an easter egg
Complete it then figure out what it does ;)

why did you make the mini game
how why and what did it do becuse it was impossible

And a Merry Christmas to you too!

Great design.

Cool map - thanks.

this is one of the most creative maps i have ever played (and i think i over enjoyed it) but it really was awesome

Really fantastic!!! great ideas here.. fun to play.. I'm in agreement with totes... a timer might have been better for the cold cube, but I can also see how that would completely kill the aesthetic... the final laser point was a bit finicky as well.. it was clear what needed to be done, just getting it there was a bit rough.. Def added to my favs list.. :-)

@totes maggots Thanks for the honest feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

This is next level for Portal 2. Great Job

Very cool and extremely unique map. The concept here truly is something never seen before I think, and the visuals paired with it work in tandem with that, I enjoyed the looks of this overall for the most part. I could go ham on nitpicks and style choices but honestly it's not the focus here I think so I'll just leave it at that. However I do have to be honest as well, I struggled a lot figuring out what to do in some spots simply due to player direction, the cold cube manipulation one took a bit and definitely could have been aided by a more step-wise difficulty curve, as opposed to just shoving the player into that scenario. And with that next puzzle I just did not really enjoy how finnicky that last laser angle was, especially with the surface being so poorly lit and almost in the bg. Idk it could just be me though, again, overall this map is super cool and unique. I'm excited to see what you do in the future.

Great map!!

Ok, this map is freaking amazing! I love the idea of melting snow and all the detail everywhere! This was really well done!
