Got to 5c, then got bored. There were too many easy levels in the beginning.

Very well implemented and some great mechanisms. But for casual gameplay, I think this should be split up. Use each mechanism (portals, time travel, gravity) on its own in more puzzling ways. I mean, I'm at work--I don't have time to learn a whole toolkit to solve a few puzzles.

Neat game. Thanks for this. I like the physics nerd aspect of it.

I don't get the utility of ghost rooms. Anyone care to explain?

I didn't understand the use of the ghost rooms either, but they get turned off automatically after two levels or so (and I think you can turn them off yourself by pressing "G").

Okay. I'm not sure if i just finished the game...

It says "Play Again" after the finishing sequence, so I'm guessing that's the end of the game.

The ghost rooms help you visualize the path of the ball, by copying the room from the vantage point of the entry portal and lining it up with the exit portal. Each ghost room is just a copy of the main room itself, lined up accordingly.

You had me at portal. I miss GLaDOS.

I miss GLaDOS. I'm sure she misses you too. You don't link to her; I bet you don't even memail.

anyone else feel like level X has no solution? as near as I can tell, it isn't possible to make any input. there are no portals, and time reversal doesn't work on the level. am I insane, or is this level literally just a dead end?

level x finishes itself. It's also, apparently, the last level of the game. The came concept is cool, but the implementation leaves something to be desired, such as a real challenge.

when I played level X, the ball hit a corner all wonky and then got stuck in a narrow hallway until it came to rest. this happened over and over again, to the point where I actually wondered if refreshing the map that many times was a sign I'd lost my mind.

Yeah, Level X did the same thing for me, shmegegge. And, juv3nal, the fact that someone paid $5 to make GLaDOS a member makes me a happy camper.

Nice effects, horrible graphics.... if that makes sense. The ball, the portals, the tokens... everything looks like a blurry sameness.
