Description
This is the absolute first Portal 2 map I have ever released. I had to make some significant edits in order to make it ready for the Workshop. This map was made in the Alien Swarm SDK before the Portal 2 Authoring Tools had ever been released.

This was my first map, so go easy on the ol' gal. ;)

TWP Description:
Okay so, this is my first map release for Portal 2 (well for anything Portal related, but that's besides the point)

This map started out as a test to see just how many elements I could fit into a test while still making it a decent test. It turned out that I made two test chambers in one map.

The elements I added into the map are:
Excursion Funnels
Lasers
Fizzlers (In the chamber, not the start/finish fizzlers)
Hardlight Bridges
Repulsion Gel
Propulsion Gel
Ariel Faith Plates
Death Field
and of course Buttons and Switches

Please tell me of any bugs you find while playing this map.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Oh never mind I forgot a major move that nullifies need for funnel-climbing.

I like it, although you forgot trigger_hurt in the pool of goo in front of the first room Exit and you just white out the floor in an angle in room #2. Did you design funnel-climbing exploit as part of solution?

Not a bad start, to be sure. :)

There are some really silly things that I tried to do with gel, and they mostly did not work out. 🙃
Ah, well.

The intended solution was fun.

I first played this map somewhere in 2015 and I still remember it.

Fun and not too easy! An excellent map.

This map was pretty good. There could have been chamber space optimizations. For one, you could have done without the hallway that seems like it was designated for the orange gel because there are portal surfaces that allow you to cross the gap with the excursion funnel. The ramp pictured has white space underneath it (some sort of Hammer mistake or I am missing an asset). Also, the blue gel button, I can get up there without the excursion funnel.

A very good map, elements were hard but they flowed logically, it was enjoyable to play!
