Portal 2-Style Chamber: Catapult Loop

Portal 2 Campaign-Style Test Chambers

Description
Thought it'd be fun to design some chambers in the style of Portal 2's single-player campaign. I want them to feel almost like "lost chambers" that may, in some parallel universe, have been part of the actual game. Hah, as if! But you get the gist.

I've tried to capture the feel of Portal 2's levels here, paying close attention to how the campaign's puzzles are laid out and how they feel to play. This is my attempt to pay homage to Valve's phenomenal level designers.

I originally designed these for a friend's Hammer map a couple of years ago, which may still transpire at some point, but in the meantime he's happy for me to publish them here.

Difficulty: Easy

What do you think, could you see this puzzle slotting into the Portal 2 campaign?

You really captured the feel of the campaign Portal 2 maps here. Very easy for the experienced of course but it's enough to make you pause for a minute, even then. The one critique I would have and that others have mentioned below is that getting the cube at the end can be tricky. But as you said you've tried to fix it before but this map hasn't been updated maybe it's an unavoidable issue.

Either way, great map, would be perfect for people coming fresh off the campaign.

I found a vulnerability in your camera, the wall opposite the button allows you to drag the cube ignoring the faith panels. Please fix it!:steamthumbsdown:

Definitely feels like this could be a map in Portal 2, clean layout and solution!

Nice puzzle - same issue with cube to exit area, although it did work eventually. Thanks for creating.

@Critfish Thanks for playing! I have no clue why that keeps happening, as it works perfectly every time for me. I must be subconsciously placing my portals differently or something. Faith plate trajectories can be finicky, but I'll see what I can do to fix it!

It took 5 tries for me to execute the final move because the cube wouldn't come out of the portal right. Volvo pls fix

The puzzle's fine otherwise.

Aha, yes I was! I only remembered it in that Wheatley map with the double piston setup. Thanks for the reminder :lunar2019piginablanket:
