Jumping Puzzle 1 - Introduction

This map is thought as a concept-map, though this map is more or less a try-out because I've never seen a map with this sort of puzzles in the workshop. The idea of this map is to reach the exit - without the portal gun. This means this map focuses on platforming and jumping from platform to platform. Because of that, the actual 'puzzle' of this map is to find and follow the hidden path in this map. But if you give this map a try, you will understand what I'm talking about.

Estimated time to complete: 5 - 10 minutes

Please note: I do know Portal is made for thinking WITH portals and using a portal gun. It is thought to design puzzles which require unique thinking. But: I love puzzles where you do not only need to put a cube on a button or press a button or do that, that and that to press the final button. Sometimes I love playing maps where the aim is totally different and different skills are required.

But I want to encourage you to give this map and puzzle-idea a try. I know that many players dislike platforming and platform jumping. To prevent frustration when falling down, I placed 2 shortcuts which become available when reaching them. If many players dislike this map, I will not do another map like this, it is just a try-out.

If some players like this sort of puzzles, I'll maybe do another map which will be more dynamic - and maybe it will contain a portal gun. But for first I would like to hear your oppinion, if you like this map and / or the concept behind it.
