Very nice. Definitely worth supporting. Would even pay for this, 40 levels to one of my most beloved games.

It looks nice, but I'm honestly not seeing anything we haven't already seen in Portal 2.

I do hope this'll be better than Portal Stories: MEL, which I really wanted to like, but which was far too in love with its own set design, forcing you to spend long minutes slowly plodding along to get to the next puzzle area without any interesting voice-overs or anything. No using portals to speed things up getting around or anything like that, what kind of game did you think you were playing? Walk slowly to the next area where we'll allow you to use your precious portal gun again, plebeian.

Plus it seemed like they had ONE main puzzle mechanic (which wasn't used in a puzzle solution in Portal 2, and this game demonstrates why), involving tons and tons of Emancipation Grills and fizzling portals, and they shoehorned it into Every. Single. Puzzle. Each time I'd slowly and painstakingly solve a puzzle involving figuring out how to turn off a series of Emancipation Grills in sequence so I could slowly move a cube to a button (and if you mess up, you get to start over!), I'd look forward to the next puzzle where maybe, just maybe, I'd get to do something new and exciting like fling myself through space, use Aerial Faith Plates, any of the other wonderful things Portal is known for? Annnnd, no...you get to figure out how to turn off a series of Emancipation Grills so you can slowly move a cube to a button. But this time you get to use lasers to help turn them off! That's cool, right?

Anyway, sorry about the rant there, I do hope this game will be good! I'm always up for more quality Portal content.

That fizzler problem annoyed me alot too but don't worry, puzzles in Timex aren't like that.
