The Best of Gig - Vol. 1

Very well done. Excellent puzzle

Semi-blindrun (don’t remember the first chamber, played the second only a couple days ago, sort of forgot how to solve it but it came back to me pretty fast)
Really nice remakes of these chambers! I don’t know what (if any) changes you made to the first, but I really like in the second how you removed the unnecessary portal surface yet still placed a hole in the glass. I LOVE how you elevated the light bridge ever so slightly to make it impossible to collide with the laser . You also completely deleted the bhop solution still present in the original. Spectacular job on both.

Upon checking the description the first chamber is apparently a remake of “Archipelago”, which I remembered being one of the errored downloads from Gig’s workshop and is thus no longer playable. I really have to praise you strongly for preserving such a good puzzle. It gave me the same feeling as the first time I played the more challenging of the first Valve official maps. It’s simple and relatively easy, but nevertheless clever and forces you to think outside the box a little. It of course is naturally much harder and thus better than any of Valve’s maps, but it gave me a good dose of nostalgia as the difficulty relative to my experience level was similar, nevertheless.

The stairs did glitch in that one but by then I pretty much had it figured out so I decided not to exploit it.

1st Chamber Difficulty: 3.75/10
1st Chamber Enjoyed: 7.5/10

2nd Chamber Difficulty: 2/10 this time (6.25 the first time)
2nd Chamber Enjoyed: 8.25/10

The first one was sursprisingly easy, the second one is kind of a classic; I once played it as part of the "introduction to the workshop" collection
(https://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=470046703)
The "music" in the second one is too loud, other than that good work which deserves a thumbs up :-)

Played this a long time ago, wasn't even able to finish the first chamber back then. Revisited it now and finally solved both! Glad I came back to it, it was really worth it. Thumbs up and favourited.

I've probably played this 3 times now and the 2nd chamber gets me every time. It's such a good puzzle & the hammer work only makes it more magnificent. Thanks for all the entertainment.

in the second chamber you can get trapped on the target room side if you lose your portal back.

Very nice hammer work with some good puzzles taken as source material. Big thumbs up

Second room is excellent - thumbs up
