Good and inventive map: the laser barrier is a good idea; the bridges visual is very good. I never used that flip panel after the bridges section and before the laser barrier room. Thumb up.

Extremly deadly test, GLaDOS would be proud:) Very cool to see new Ideas on the workshop. Probably could white out the chamber given enough time, but wouldnt help much with the test:) Thumbs up

You're right about the laser field prop not being a exploit, I wanted to let you know about it cause it was used against me in a few of my earlier maps, and I wanted to make you aware of it!
Wow, I did not think of that as a clue in your map... ingenious!
At first I was like "WTF" when I first seen it up to when I was exiting never knowing why it was there or if it did something!

thanks, good point about Beemod, I did mean to include that in the description but obviously forgot. as for standing on the laser field emitter, I did originally try to have one of the pedestal buttons only reachable by doing just that, but I felt the edges were getting too crowded so I moved a few props into the middle of the board, which also means standing on the emitter shouldn't be too game-breaking

I also included a clue the white square with a laser field on it behind glass just before entering the chessboard room about the danger :P

Indeed you're right about saves being your friend, and lots of them which is what was needed to finished!
Jumping from 1 black checkerspot to the next 1 was frustration to avoid the laser field but it was something different for me when moving back and forth. A few notes: The player can stand on the laser field prop bump out from the wall.
You should list in your desciption the Beemod needed to play this map, and list the link. The reason is you're using the (High energy pellet emitter) and a few things could happen, 1. It might show up as and error in-game for the player if they don't have the mod install making it unbeatable.
2. The player tries to play your map but says mod needed but they don't know where to find the mod.
Map/tests overall wasn't bad to solve after figuring out the Chess layout!
