Fantastic!
That was real fun, looking around at all the nice details, different ambiances and lights.
The puzzles were exactly the difficulty I like for a relaxing map :P
Clever setup in all the rooms, no way to be soft locked. I also like the transitions.
Small picky points:
Yes there is a grate texture looking like glass, but that took me just a few extra seconds before trying because you can't do nothing else there anyway, so no big deal.
There is a wall texture with a missing a detail texture, visible in the very beginning and further as well (the result is some kind of sparkling but that's easy to fix).
For me the last puzzle could be just 4 ball-buttons instead of 5, to avoid repetition of a same move (but keeping the last one :)
All the rest is a smart Hammer work.
And I love the creativity within the very Portal style :)
Favorite & :steamthumbsup:

@Zoraya, Thank you so much for letting me know you enjoyed it. That means a lot coming from as great a puzzle-master as you!

Amazing work Shinval! It was much fun to explore each room, and I liked the mixture of playfulness and challenges. I take my hat off to you for this well elaborated work!

@Test Chamber Junkie, Bravo my friend!

I enjoyed the soundtrack in the background and watching a player that looks around - investigates, tries things. I don't spend months (or years) of work on a map for people to instantly see a solution and I don't know how to make an easy map. My brain works differently and it's just not in me. You THINK when you play, I saw that. I loved it!

Thank you so much!

You did everything the way it was supposed to be done -- eventually. LOL.

While this wasn't too bad, I felt that a lot of the puzzle environments were a little bit messy. The first portal game had this issue during development. I like the aesthetic but maybe try to make it a little more clear where you can put portals and what props are elements. I also found it somewhat tricky to see the buttons and levers. Maybe draw more attention to them?

@rketch, oh no, I never expected it to take 3 hours. Maybe twenty minutes. Look for the video walk-through later to see if there was an easier way to do it.

@Dr. FeelGoose, thank you for playing and for letting me know you enjoyed it. Perhaps as the creator of that last puzzle, I don't find it challenging at all. I may post the video walk-through soon and then everyone can see the way I intended it to be done. I have tested this map so many times that its super boring for me now, so I'm waiting a little bit to do the video. Thanks again!

That was incredible - 3 hrs of frustration and fun - looking forward to your future maps - Thanks

Last puzzle was absolute torture, you're a fiend and a brute.

Visuals are pretty interesting. You've improved your skills over the years, and they definitely show here in this map.

Puzzles were easy though enjoyable (aside from that last one, I was quick-saving like a maniac). I'm gonna take a wild guess and assume that this map was just an excuse to fool around with spheres with reckless abandon and I totally respect that. I appreciate the number of puzzles too, as if there had been too few this would've been an otherwise ordinary experience (probably not the best choice of words, but yeah).

Kudos for working on this for as long as you did without giving up on it.

@alex, Thank you for such high praise!

nice map!

A grand adventure. Very enjoyable, thank you. Beautiful to look at, just the right amount of complexity. One gripe: in the very first room (after the title) I thought the game glitched because there was no way out of that tiny rectangular room. I only shot a portal through one of the tiny windows on the side of the door out of exasperation, and was a little annoyed to see it worked. Being able to shoot a portal through glass is a serious no-no rule wise, so maybe it was metal grating? It looked exactly like glass. But after that, it was a great adventure, thank you.

What a fantastic level! I wish I could give more than just one "Thumbs Up" because this level is basically an entire mini-game!

@VladmirLR, I can't say it was any one thing. I think life and work get in the way of these things.
Shinval  [author] 6 Nov, 2023 @ 2:44am 
@dmon, Thanks for playing.
