Revision 2 - added a light bridge to the button room so you can't get stuck there anymore

Wow... I can't wait to play this... The preview looks great! (Came here from the 'First Map' thread).

Just had to reinstall Portal 2, when it's done, I'll play it.

*looks at preview* oh my... Looking forward to this ^^

Thanks for your feedback, erwin_iie!

You don't need the turret - it also works with companion cube only. I admit that this is not intuitive - but in coop mode you learn that the tractor beam lets you move around quite a bit. So you can hop onto the cube into the beam, then edge down a little and pick up the cube to take with you.

For the other hazards I recommend you use savegames. It's single player so you can use Quick Save F6 / F7.

I originally intended to make the map much larger. I wanted to test the limits of the editor in my first map. :) Turns out I hit the limit very early, the map is less than 1/3 of the size the editor lets you build in theory (but then it craps out because of too many items).

My future maps (if I make any) will be smaller as that's what the editor is obviously meant for.

Ok... when I figured out I needed the first turret to take the companion cube with me I played the first part of the level several times. When I encountered the time limit and I needed to climb with the light bridges I fell in the water and had to start all over again. It's too large and playing puzzles you already solved over and over again is not fun.

I updated the description to be more helpful (hopefully).

Hence the warning in the description, but I agree with you completely, of course.
Thanks for your comment! My next map will hopefully be better.

#1 rule of portal level design: The player should never get stuck with no recourse but to restart. If you dont bring the cube into the next room and dont have a portal back you are hosed.

Wheee!
