I really enjoyed it. The ending was pretty tricky but we didn't get frustrated, and the payoff when we figured it out was awesome. Pretty much everything about this felt perfect and we both loved the challenge. The timer puzzle also felt pretty devious but was rewarding when we figured out how to sequence it and pull it off without much difficulty. One of my favorites, and the art style is amazing also.

We had a lot of fun with this. It got tricky in places but not frustratingly so. Nice one. ^_^

great level my friend and i were stuck for like an hour on the lazer boxes but we got it! 10/10

We ended up doing the level with skipping half of the rooms. Very weird and was quite annoying. As has been said before, there are too many exploits.

My evening :(

10/10 until we hit the timer puzzle, 4/10 after that. Probably won't play again.

Too many exploits, hacks, etc. -1/10
Not recommended.

spoiled by a countdown clock.

We couldn't work out how to use the speed gel in the second room. I think we broke the second room a bit.

Really great map. Lots of fun. Loved the last part.

Absolute brilliant map!

1/10
So many exploits. Just think out of the box and you can skip all the rooms except for the last one, which is really simple.

Great map. Amazing last part

The water effects look very cool. There are places where the characters can get trapped. We got seperated trying to go around the timed switch room that didn't seem to work. We threw the switches in order and nothing happend...we tried to go around and got trapped in seperate areas...

I may have beaten your map in about 45 seconds with a little more direct approach.

Who needs portals anyway?

Thanks for making the map

Hard map (that means good), but is boring. 8/10 from me.

So cool man!

We have no idea how to solve the room with the goo, that second one. But (after using an exploit), we cleared the rest of the chambers.

Diabolical!

Out of the 200+ co-op map I've played so far this one was definitely the most challenging. The third test really had us pulling our hair. ;-) Fantastic work, thank you very much!

Overall it requires both logic and imagination (which most maps don't).Spent hours. Great job.Oh TWP.I am on the forum too ^^

The level isn't as fancy as the Aperture Valentine (Which is also my favorite),but it sure got the best structure,the most excellent layout.There are rarely maps containing 3 or more puzzles.Here you got 3 chambers seperately laid in a circular way,and 1 test combining them all.The best feeling is about when we're at the 3rd part,and I accidentally saw the laser receiver at the other end,close to the exit.I start to wonder what is this about.It just creates perfect experience.

You're very kind, but there's a lot of better maps out there! Check out Thinking With Portals [forums.thinkingwithportals.com], I think you'd like the maps the community has made there.

what ? what ? what ? what ? what ? This is completely absolutely totally definitely exactly the most wonderful,well-designed coop map I have ever played since I own portal 2 !!! And I can't believe someone could build such a level.You are from Valve or something like that?

if you have any others, i'll be GLaD to try them out, just give me some links. :D

I can appreciate your frustration! I wanted the players to refine their strategy over a few attempts. Looking back it's probably out of place with the rest of the map. Thanks for testing.

the 3rd area is really the only one that requires you to move quickly and accurately, the rest of them weren't bad, and were actually kind of fun. :D i enjoyed it fairly well, just that 3rd area was a little frustraiting. 7/10

Well, that pipe in the center really attracted us. On your advice, I checked along the pipe. There's really no opening on it. We should have noticed this.

There isn't actually white gel in the map - I just put in white gel pipes for decoration. Perhaps that was a mistake!

Awesome map, but in the last test, we can skip the white gel.

Awesome map

Awesome map!

OMG! This map is awesome!!
I am pretty sure we did not solve the map as intended but it took us a lot of imagination, running, endurance and luck to come to our solution! :D
This is a great complex map! Well done!

Awesome map!

Awesome map!

Tho I found an explot.. in the 2n room (with the blue gelly) you can jump high and place a portal in the 3rd room (with the 1 2 3 switches) through the windows (holes) without having to pass the 2nd room..

to bartzilla - me and my gf passed the level thorug that 0.1 degrees too))(took a lot of time to find it).. but I saw another way - in that spanish video just now.. which is easyer..

suggestion for the autor: leave only the hard solution for the laser :)

+100 )

i finally finished this map, after 6+ months :|

awesome test chamber!
but the 4th puzzle (the one with the switches) is exploitable. my friend and i didn't noticed the switches at all.

we used the tractor beam and made portals at the innertower so one could port outside of the room. Then there was a small space outside the room were one could stand on and set new portals and used the tractor beam to go directly to the end. then he could set portals for the otherone to use the tractorbeam to go to the end.
well, we passed this room, but it was not a very elegant solution in comparism to the original solution.
And then, our solution for the Laser riddle.
we send the laser pretty much directly back through a tiny hole into the opposite room and then again pretty much directly back into a portal and then to the detector. also not very elegant, since the hole was like a 0.1 degree spot.
but also these workarounds were pretty fun.
thanks for this work

Well done, sir

that was ♥♥♥♥♥♥ hard.

Eyyyy, the map is awesome!
Here are some videos of mine playing the level!
Maybe someone will serve!

T'es gros fils de pute avec ton lmaser de merde ca casse trop les cojones sale batard

Briliant map, but need serious cooperations and thinkings. I wouldn't recommend for non-friend players. Took me and my partner (over Skype) an hour to solve....

There are placement helpers throughout the level - the only one that I was never happy with was the one you mentioned. I think the placement helper that's automatically provided by the excursion funnel is fighting with the manually placed one (although with that said I thought I dealt with that).

On the other hand, there are a number of ways to navigate the final chamber. I'm sure that you don't need to quickly grab the funnel to complete the chamber.

Well, for example in the 3rd chamber, the one with the tractor beam.
If you are rushing, then you can't pay attention, that you hit the surface with the beam directly in the middle. And if you don't hit the mid, you won't get the beam.
Please go through the level again, and look out for surfaces like this.

You're gonna have to be a little more specific about the placement helpers for me to know what you're talking about.

Sucks, because you placed them wrong.

Really amazing. Made you think and think again. The best one i've tried.

The part with the laserbeam is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hard. D: My partner and I can't figure out how solve it

Excellent chambers, especially the timing elements and the two-story design.

The only issue I have is that the ledge in the second chamber where you have to place one of the laser cubes towards the end can get covered in blue gel and thus the cube keeps bouncing off it. My buddy and I had to re-paint the ledge in orange gel so that the cube would stay on the ground Not a big deal but it wasn't a very elegant situation and required us to re-do part of the second chamber to bypass this issue.
