Really nice to play

Your Verticular Series is fantastic. Thank you very much for keeping it in the library.

Awesome

Been a while since I even looked back on some of these, but I think it's a bit of return and re-use. There might be others like that. Thanks for playing.

Great fun, a bit of back and forth required. Thanks for creating.

Thanks for playing.

very nice took a little bit of thought

There's a few Verticulars in that series or collection. Thanks for playing.

Brilliant, this is definately the sort of map I I like. Name 'Verticular' rings a bell, I may have played one or two of this series before. Thank you

;)

Excellent map. Diabolically clever and challenging! Pure logic and thinking with portals. Thanks!

Gotta be one of the best !!

I may have broken the first chamber. I didn't use the tractor. I placed the cube on the glass. Then I used the light bridge and jumped past the fizzer from a top the stairs. The rest of the chamber is logically sound :)

Thanks. Maybe a Hammer made version some day.

Your verticular series is seriously diabolical! Loved them all, and wish you'd go back and do more (: But I like most of your others, too, so it's all good.

Not bad, a decent map altogether!

Guys, please give mine a try:

Sounds great, looking forward to it!

Actually the next one that I've been working kind of follows that premise. It kind of involves thinking a bit counter-intuitively. The chicken or the egg, or if an omelet comes first, so be one's desire. Maybe the cube comes first, or maybe the player goes first. Nevertheless, it will be my 90th puzzle, so I want to make it a good one. There's lots of glass barriers. That can lead to visual obscurity, so I'm keeping the amount of element usage to a minimum. It should be ready in a couple of days.

Oddly enough, I kind of prefer your current method. I use so much brain power getting through the first part, I kind of like having the last parts be less intense. That said, you never want to get stale, so change it up if that'll challenge you in your chamber building!

I think you're right about the first room. I don't know why, but I seem to have this inclination to making the first room a bit more difficult than the rest in some of my puzzles. I should try to do it the other way around. That would probably make it more interesting if the difficulty level increased as you go. But thanks for playing.

I don't know what it is about your maps, but I always get stuck in the first room for a long time. Once I get that figured out, I can usually motor through the rest of the way. This one, certainly had the first room "WTF" going on for a bit, but so did a decent portion of the rest of it. I think I was about half way through before it all started to click and go smoothly.

Thanks for your positive feedback and compliments Mr.bob. I feel good knowing that someone appreciates the fact that I keep the word "think" in a thinking game. That's what Portal is all about. I may have published a couple of maps that were just for fun or slightly roller coaster, but not very often. Anyways, thanks for playing.

sir, you continue to amaze me. you're a master mapsman. it's a wonderful map. you actually have to think about what you're doing, otherwise you end up having to do the same thing about 8 times. that was me. but that's a good thing. it's a proper puzzle, and I loved it. very well done, as always

Unbelievable! Sweating a bit on that one...

Another excellent level !

This map was a real chore. However, despite its tasking, this is what portal 2 is all about - excellent difficulty with moments of epiphanal zen. Thanks.

@Skyferret: Actually, I got these two cubes only using portals)

Oh you sly boots, Skyferret. you had me going backwards and forwards so many times I didn't know if I was coming or going. Nicely done!

@LVD: I checked out the screen shot. And thanks for sharing. If I recall, I was tempted to put a second button, but I was a bit concerned that it may add repetitiveness to the puzzle. It already has kind of a "go up, go down, go up" thing to it. But thanks for playing.

Great! And you may add second button before end door: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=131079261

Continuation form below (character limit).

When I got to the last part, I almost didn't see that last flip panel which you fling out of to the exit after you race across the speed gel. However, before that I notice the light bridge way up there, but I don't think I really needed it because I could portal my way from the turret area, to the speed gel area. Oh, and the turrets, a little too easy to get by. Other than that, it took about 20 minutes to finish and I enjoyed playing it

Not at all annoying. Once in a while I get invites to play other's maps, or playtest for opinion. As for opinion, I guess your map gets the ferret approval. When people mention "obscurity", they don't realize that if you build an all in one chamber, you have no choice but to have what seems like clutter. They're used of one chamber to the next, and just a few elements per chamber. This map just takes patients and intuitive thinking. I kinda like the method of sending the sphere (or edgeless cube) to where it has to go (it's kinda like something I'd do). Send it high, vertical fling, and then angled fling. As for people not knowing that you have to "make a basket", all it takes is intuition because "it's obvious where it has to go". Because there's a sphere button above it.
Cheers

I really like this map. It has everything I dream of putting into one of mine, but I never get it done quite as well. Unfortunately I do get stuck at one point, & although I know that must disappoint you, ultimately the map is so well done I don't even care. I think I've played a few of your other maps as well (I recognize your "Aperture Employee ID Badge") & I remember liking them, too.

I know you might be annoyed by invitations to play other guys maps, but I can't resist sharing one of mine. It's amateurish compared to any yours, & some folks have reported to me that they feel it's unnecessarily difficult / obscure (no-one seems to be able to guess that you need to "make a basket" & then do something to the edgeless cube afterwards.) It's a big room & I lost the source files for it so modifications are not forthcoming (although I WOULD have liked to change a thing or two.)
