Portal Detector Series: Scrapped Map Pack
2 items
Description
Introducing portal detectors as a new testing element! This was to be the second map of a much larger map pack, until I decided to scrap it. The previous map in this portal detector series is Discouragement Fizzler, found here:

This was a really fun level! The worst part was the ceiling buttons, but I managed to get them on my second try. I'm not sure if I used the intended solution of using the camera to knock the energy ball into the receptacle but it ended up working for me anyways. Very enjoyable map, thank you!using the camera to knock the energy ball into the receptacle

a neat idea! I agree with what others have said with the ceiling buttons being a bit finicky but it was fun overall.
Did notice a bit of a visual bug where if you put one portal under the conversion gel tube and another next to it on the white floor the gel wigs out between the two portals but I think that might just be a thing with the game not the map itself lol

That's a pretty cool mechanic, and this is a great proof of concept. I wasn't so big on the ceiling buttons, which were difficult to execute, but the rest of the puzzle elements were very interesting *(albeit on the easier side, but again, proof of concept). And the method of getting the pellet in the catcher was very cool, and having the orientation of the pedestal button as a clue was a clever touch.

Cool. Though it felt more like a tutorial chamber disguised as an actual puzzle.

interesting but I don't care for it.

Completely hated it. Sorry, but this one is a fail.

@tim.burget: Nevermind, I misremembered.

When I downloaded this chamber, the energy ball texture was not bundled with it. Other than that, great test chamber.

That solution is beautiful.
This map is beautiful.

Beautiful.
