This is quite the fun map. Don’t know why I didn’t get through the tutorial room quicker. And it took me much longer than it should have to figure out how to get to the upper area in the main chamber. But I really love that ending move. Haven’t seen that one before. Surprised I picked it up as quickly as I did.

I don’t entirely disagree with your difficulty rating this time but I’d say this strongly leans towards the medium side rather than easy. While for me it was still slightly closer to the “easy” threshold than “hard”, I don’t think you should let the difficulty ratings be influenced too much by us very experienced players. I’d guess that most people who’ve played Portal would find this to at least be medium-hard, but probably much harder or nigh-impossible just due to the unusual outside-the-box final move (and that’s not the only interesting move in the map, either).

I suppose the kinds of people who come across maps like this though do have at least some experience under their belt, easing the difficulty a bit, so I ultimately think medium as a happy-medium between the two categories of players would be the best rating for a map like this. Of course I always give personal ratings and the perceived difficulty of any given map is highly dependent on factors not related to the map itself, including player experience, whether you're "warmed up" from previous maps or worn out from too many of them, rustiness if you haven't played in a while etc. This is the last map I’m playing today and I’m quite tired, and I don’t doubt if I was “in the groove” I would have found this significantly easier. Here are my scores for now though:

Difficulty: 4.25/10
Enjoyed: 7.75/10

Very cool puzzle! I struggled a bit for the ending until I remembered the tutorial room. Favorite :)

Great puzzle with an excellent set up (which I don't think I've seen before) for the end sequence - definite thumbs up.

Okay, I changed the rating to easy-medium. I also fixed up some of the connections, thanks @Nobody No-One for telling me about branching antlines. Glad you guys liked it!
