Laser Catapult (Vactube Style)

Difficulty: You already did this one. It'll be easy.

---

This was my entry into the Portal Mapping and Modding server's[discord.gg] 'Redux 4' competition, where the challenge was to remake a map from the campaign in a different style. I took the opportunity to revisit my old map Cathartic and really push that 'vactube style' as far as I could take it. Delightfully, this is maybe the first time ever making a map where I've not radically de-scoped all the craziest ideas I'd been planning as soon as the end was in sight. I had an absolute blast making this, and I hope you enjoy playing it even half as much.

If you liked this, you might want to check out the other Portal projects I'm working on: the huge mod Desolation[emberspark.games] and my Doctor Who crossover Portal Who: Science of the TARDIS, which is still in active development.

I also recorded a timelapse of the making of this map, which I'll link here when I upload it.
