Another simple map, set inside one of the underground test spheres.
Plenty of jumps in this one, plus two timed sections, although they are both pretty easy.

I really enjoyed this simple map. At no point did I scratch my head wondering where to go, and sometimes that’s nice.
As I said in the description, there are 2 timed sections, one to do with a door and the other to door with catching a cube. Both were easy.
If the author keeps making nice maps like this it will be fun to see them as one large mappack.
If you are the kind of player that enjoys hard maps, this may not excite you, but for many, this will be fun.
I experienced no bugs and didn’t really try exploring, so there may be alternative solutions and hidden gems.

Too easy, even for a noob like me, but still entertaining. I loved his Old Aperture rendition of the faith plate.

Really a fun map. It wasn’t super confusing but it wasn’t just a walk in the park either. Some very fun and imaginitive stuff.

Probably the best Portal 2 map I’ve played yet. The style is consistent with Valve’s and the puzzles were fun, but not too difficult.

Very nice couple of maps. Definitely has a Portal 2 feel about them.
As said before, not too hard while being a bit tricky.
Good stuff.
BTW Phillip, what’s happening with the contest to play Portal 2 with you?
The page seems to throw up 404 can’t find it errors.

Quite enjoyable. The second map could use a proper ending when you complete it but that’s a minor point. Well worth downloading and playing

Finally somebody got into my head like a tumor and found out that i really love Apeture Innovators.
The puzzles incluide those “AHA !” moments that Phillip mentioned not a long time ago.
The introduction of a new element to the gameplay style shows that in SourceSDK , the only limit is your imagination and your skills.
All in one-
Style 10/10
Difficulty 2/3 [Medium]
Glitches found by me 0
PLAY IT NOW ! well worth the place on your disk and the funny time.

So cool, as any PORTAL map or mod should be, at least for me, i could be in the spheres playing ALL DAY!, Thats 4 sure!!

Agreed with stoopdapoop, the first chamber (sphereness of roundness or something like that) is quite tricky, but then followed up by this enjoyable little map!
