Fun map. The white gel allowed me to get on top of the entrance only to discover it was a dead end, not an easter egg. aww... :P Fun map otherwise. Also, I didn't think of this before but you can actually press the pedastal button for the gels a few times in a row to get multiple gel bombs in the funnel. Releasing the funnel then will give you a nice splat path.

OK, I see, yes that would be fun. Of course, it also confused the hell out of Selyp.

The orange gel, while not necessary is for sliding the cube down the angled lightbridge into the turrets at the bottom. Just a fun way to remove them instead of the other way most people use.

Having watched Selyp's excruciating playthrough, I figured I should record my solution which better shows the elegance of this map. Note that whereas Selyp was playing "blind", i.e. for the first time, I am re-playing a solution I have already thought out. It probably took me ten or fifteen minutes the first time through. I have great respect for Selyp, but he stumbled over this one.

Another nice map, thumbs up. Sustained medium difficulty and a good sense of progress. I did not find any use for the orange gel near the end; maybe it's optional to speed up the long walks.

Really fun test chamber. Didn't even realize how long it was since I was having a blast. Pretty creative puzzles too! Will be doing Part 2 soon.

AMAZING PORTAL took forever

You have to keep in mind that Hard Rain part 2 is the same map but in reverse and flooded. So even when some walls being portalable going one way doesn't break the map, coming back from the other side does. I had to consider both maps while working on either one of them.

No bad, although a lot of it doesn't need to be non-portalable.

ARGH! Took me forever to solve this, but I'm glad I persisted with it! The light bridge was what threw me. You're a real cunning fella!

This was harder than the 2nd one for me. Great job, though reusing an existing chamber wouldn't sit well with GlaDoS. Cave would accept since it saves him money though :D The only complaint I have about this map is no clean water to clean my companion cube with. Gotta keep her clean, ya know ;)

Good job !
