Description
'Bridge Building' created by DrFauli
- 3 large rooms; difficulty increases with each room
- design based on chapter 3 of the coop-campaign

[Question & Answer Section]:

Q: Does the solution to one of the puzzles include 'fast reflexes', dying or ninja skills?
A: No! You don't need ninja skills and you won't need fast reflexes either.
It is also possible to solve the map without dying, but you might die by accident. :)
(Just blame it on your partner then...)
You can also watch the video with the full solution, if you don't know the next steps.

Q: Where did you get the idea for the design?
A: All visuals and details are based on chapter 3 of the coop-campaign.
I like the puzzles and the design of chapter 3 very much and
decided to give it a try. Let me know how you like it!

Q: How was this map build?
A: This map was created with 'Valve Hammer Editor' (Portal 2 Authoring Tools Beta).

Q: How many hours did you work on this map?
A: I have spent about... 152 hours:
- 97 hours building the map
- 21 hours working on little details and applying my creativity :)
- 12 hours planning the map and the puzzles
- 11 hours testing the puzzles and looking for bugs/exploits
- 6 hours optimizations on design, lighting, visleafs and gameplay
- 5 hours talking to playtesters and receiving feedback (thanks guys!)

Q: We want to give feedback on the map - how do we do that?
A: I am always looking forward to receive feedback on my maps!
-> You can just leave a comment here and I will get a notfication.
-> Just let me know what you think of the map and how you like it.
-> I would also appreciate if you share the map with your friends. :)

Phenomenal puzzles. My friend and I really enjoyed them.

The "confusing" cube sign at the very end made us think that last one was way harder that it was, but it's no big deal.
The easier way to solve these is to make progress little by little instead of trying to think everything through upfront anyway, which is a strategy that would render the confusing sign a non-issue.

Looks like this experiment was a success.

Not a bad map, not a bad map at all. We overthought WAY to hard when it came to it, but I enjoy maps that makes me over think, gives it more challenge. I'll agree the one floor panel needs to be extended, as it can only be shot at a certain angle, but other than that it was well done, and very detailed! Thanks for the Experience!

This map needs to be fixed, you can only shoot at the ground from a certain angle which took us forever to find out. We had shot the surface plate before in the last riddle but never at the right angle.

This is a very nice map. My friend an I have tought on it for more than 2 hours, but we still can't finish the last chamber. We put the cube on the button and the vertical light bridge has workd, but how can I get to the second floor and jump into the portal? We are Chinese players and we couldn't watch your video. Could you please give us more hint? We just want to finish this map. Sorry for my poor English.... :steamsad:
